ADELINE
A busy day lies ahead of me but that can wait. The feeling of my cold feet rubbed while sipping on my caramel mocha latte. I wanted to tell him to piss off after what happened today but I can’t say no to good coffee and a foot massage.
I ushered him into my room, away from communal spaces and from the possibility of seeing my other roommates. Luckily, Croix retired to his room and I’ve yet to see the other two emerge from their cage into the morning light.
Wes drops my feet and does a complete sweep of my new room.
“It’s nice.” He said with a forced smile.
“Yeah?”
“It works.” I shrugged.
“And your step brother, Croix?” He paused, his smile dropping and his shoulders tense. “I’m kindly assuming that he and the other guys are staying out of your way.”
I sigh, running my hand
