My Roommate

The Thing I Never Saw Coming

Last night we left off on a really steamy moment but unfortunately we all came back to our senses and nothing happened. Hormones took over and we were no longer thinking straight but just like all the other moments, we were once again interrupted. This time it wasn't by someone's presence but rather by the loud ringing of his phone.

It was the fastest that I've ever seen someone's mood changed. Just now he was heated and eroding with passion and lust but when he saw who was calling, his eyes literally went dark and expressionless. I could feel his body tense up and his muscles harden.  He slowly rise from the couch and stepped towards the kitchen and in no doubt I wanted to ease drop but that wouldn't be right.

I wondered so hard who that person could be to make him change into such a cold person but nothing came to mind. I could hear him in the kitchen screaming, shouting. "Why'd you call me Katrine..." "You have no business with me anymore." "Katrine" the name just lingered in my mind for a brief moment. "Mother, maybe a girlfriend."

I had no clue but I didn't want to know, so I grabbed up my clothes and left the room. I headed straight for the shower and then straight to my room. I know I said I didn't want to know but I was finding it hard to focus on the movie.

I wanted to know. I wanted to know who could get him all rilled up like that. Who could make him turn into such a cold and distant person. All I remember was him leaving the couch with tense muscles. I just stopped thinking about it for a brief moment and went to bed.

Woke up with the tv off but I don't remember turning it off. Just like every other mornings I put on my robe and head straight for the kitchen to get a glass of orange juice. And to my surprise he was still there.

I don't know whether to think he was there all night or if he just woke up. He look restless and confused. I wanted to ask but it wasn't my place, so I just said "good morning, how are you."

I know it was a stupid question after what I just witness yesterday but I didn't know what else to say. Was I to comfort him and ask what's wrong or was I to shrug it off. I didn't know what type of person he was and which one he prefers but I wanted to know.

I wanted to know which one he prefers in a time like this. But after my question, he just gave a long sigh and said it fine it was nothing to worry about. I knew it wasn't nothing to worry about because I could see the deep shift in his eyes, I just didn't know what to do but I wanted to do something.

"I know something's wrong, you don't have to talk about it but don't say that it's nothing." After I said that I drank the glass of orange juice and put the glass in the sink. I was about to leave the kitchen when I felt a hot breath on my neck.

"How are you so perfect, you didn't say much but somehow I feel much better than I did a few seconds ago." I don't why but his words hit me and I froze. His eyes most definitely look better than they did a few seconds ago.

"I know you are going through a lot, and you may not know what to do but am here for you whenever you feel like talking. They say talking helps but only when you are ready." He stood there as if making my words enter his brain, staring deep into my eyes he said "You're breathtaking, all over."

And without another word his lips met mine. Devouring with so much passion and longing. He was craving, as if he waned to forget what happened last night, he wanted just for a little moment not to think about whoever was on the phone.

I wondered so hard who it was but when he's ready he'll talk. I just hope he doesn't let whatever or whoever it is eat him alive. Without breaking our kiss he lift me up and placed me on the kitchen counter; I snaked my legs around his torso and pulled him closer into me.

"Jonas" I breathe out as his kisses trail down into the crook of my neck. "Jonas, stop it, we have to get to work." "No" He growls and I tangle my fingers in his hair. I loosened my grip on his torso and slowly take my hands from his hair.

He broke the kiss and looked at me in confusion as if to say "what's wrong." I replied by saying "I have to get to work." "You're no fun" he hollers "Thanks" I added with a smile. He pecked my cheek and slowly backed up from the table, giving me enough way to pass.

I hopped down and straight to the shower I went. Took a quick bath and got dressed. I came back down to the kitchen but he was nowhere to be seen, so I just left. Serving at the counter as usual, with my good friend Charles. I could feel my stomach tense up in a clench as a familiar smell filled the area.

"Jonas" I looked up in surprise, he gave me a wink and ordered his usual. I was surprised that he was hear because I didn't know that he left the house. "The house" just saying that makes it sounds like its my house also. But I guess in some form it kinda was, at least for now it was.

The day went by boring, me just serving drinks and my mind constantly drifting off to hot moments Jonas and I shared. Soon enough I won't be able to composed myself, I'll just fall to the floor in lust and desire. "Crystal" a high pitched voice pulled me out of my trance.

I looked up to none other than "Valentina McLain." "Lunch, with me?" "Sure, give me a sec to grab my things." I knew what I was getting myself into, she wants answers. I ordered a burger and fries and she only ordered a smoothie.

The whole meal she intimidated me. I could hardly swallow because I felt like she would eat me alive with her demanding yet slightly vicious face. "I can't hold it any longer" she bust out. "So what's up with you and my brother."

I have no idea how to answer that question. "What is up with Jonas and I" I have no idea but I know for sure that the chemistry is undeniable. I started by telling her how my room got flooded and I had no where else to stay, he offered me to stay with him and I had no other choice so I did.

"I'm surprised that he offered you to stay with him, he's never done that before." By the looks of it I knew what she was saying was true, which makes this whole situation weird because "why me? Why did he offer me and no one else before me."

I needed that answered but for now I'll just talk with Tina and enjoy the little food that was still before me. "I think he likes you and if you like him too, I just want you to know it'd be fine with me.

He deserves someone as dependent and nice like you because after what he went through, I think you'd be the perfect person for him."

"After what he went through" I wanted to ask but I knew that it wasn't my place to ask neither her place to tell, so I just let it go and smiled. "I'm not even sure what's going on between us but I know I like him."

Surprisingly this conversation went better than you and I both expected because am sure you all were thinking that she would flip out at the thought of me with her brother.

When it comes to siblings they are always protective, so whatever was coming next at that dinner table was awaiting. We both left the table and the thought rushed in my mind "I still don't have a phone, I need to buy one tomorrow, so that I can call my mom."

"Talk to him, and she what's going on between you two, because the not knowing can be stressful for you both." Valentina added

Maybe she was right, maybe I should try and talk to him, because I hate the fact that when we encounter, we always almost end up in each other's beds as not knowing what we are if that happens can be stressful.

So I went home took a shower and decided to find him, "Talking to him is a good idea, I just hope he will actually talk." I knocked on his door but no answer, the door was half open so I decided to step in.

And there he was on the couch with his laptop, he looked somewhat engrossed in work but I just needed to know because as Tina said "The no knowing can be stressful" and I was beginning to feel the stress.

I approached him and asked if we could talk but he just brushed off the fact and said that it was busy. "It won't last long just 5 minutes out of your time."  But once again he brushed off the fact and for some reason, he seemed distant. "I can't, am sorry, I have to get these notes in by the required deadline, maybe we can talk tomorrow."

"Alright" That's all I said before leaving, for some reason it hurts the way he dismissed it because a part of me felt as if  my question was already answered.  Know this sounds weird but for some reason, he didn't seem as engrossed in work as he  said he was, he seemed drained and distant, as if something happened before I came in.

I didn't know what to think, I just left and went straight back to my room. "I couldn't face her, I was already too engrossed in aww of her and I just can't go down that path again, yes I admit, I'm scared... scared to be the only one caring again and that's just too much."

In my eyes, I can see that she means well but it is all a facade or is she the real deal? Maybe I should've talk to her because it's just too painful not knowing, it's stressful trying to come up with scenarios that would push her away or make me forget.

Amma take her to dinner tomorrow and explain everything. I just hope it's not too late and she'll understand because for some reason, I want her to; I want her to understand why I brushed her off because truth be told after what I went through I never thought that I could feel this way again because truth be told I never saw this coming; any of it, not her, not anything.
