There’s a water droplet slowly making its way down, down, down beneath the towel. God do I want to see what’s beneath it. “Zoe?” His voice snaps me out of my haze and I bring my eyes to his, cheeks heating with the thoughts racing through my mind. I will not find my roommate attractive. I will not find my roommate attractive. “Go put some clothes on, Caleb.”
“Oh honey, now don’t be embarrassed. There’s no shame in taking a little bob on the knob.” She winks and then sashays away, leaving me standing there with my mouth dropped open in shock and a laughing Caleb still by my side. “Did she just…” “Yep.” “Holy hell,” I murmur. Caleb stands and wipes at the tears running down his cheeks. “I think I love that old broad.” “I think I love that old broad. I want to be her when I grow up.”
Me: Turns out I’m a sympathy puker. Me: He puked on my floor, and then I puked on my floor trying to clean it up. Like, I still love him and all, but I also kind of hate him right now. Caleb: Shit. He probably ate too fast. I’m so sorry you have to deal with that, Zoe. I promise I’ll be at home more often and all the kitten duty won’t fall to you.
Me: You’re trying to distract me with sexy talk. Me: I’ll allow it. Please continue. Me: HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE Caleb: *winces* You saw, huh? Me: Oh, I fucking saw. ALL BUT TWO? Caleb: They were REALLY good, so it’s all your fault for being such an amazing, beautiful, generous, kind, sexy cook.
Caleb: Keep it up and I’ll make you sleep on the couch. Me: Did you just threaten to kick me out of my own bed? Caleb: It’s OUR bed. Me: No, that is MY bed. I just let you sleep in it. Me: Speaking of, we really need to get you your own. I’m tired of waking up to the smell of your farts in the middle of the night. Caleb: Those are YOUR farts waking you up. Trust me, they wake me up too.
Me: I think I still need some time to cool off. I have a project due next week and I need to focus on that. I think you need to take some time to decide how you’re going to continue to juggle your life here and your life there, because these lines keep blurring and it’s starting to suck. Caleb: What does that mean for us?
