The American Roommate Experiment

by Elena Armas

“Hey, Rosie?” he called before crossing the threshold. “It’s been great finally meeting Lina’s best friend.” Finally. He’d said finally.

“Rosie,” he half said, half slurred in a husky voice. “This really you or I did I wake up in heaven?”

“I can’t promise I won’t bite, but I will try not to.”

“Ven aquí.”

Rosie: are you… flirting with me, Lucas Martín? Lucas: is it working?

“Me robas el sentido,”

“There’ll never be a moment when you don’t distract me from whatever I’m thinking or doing.” He trailed his nose along mine, his lips barely brushing mine. “You have that power over me.”

And it’s like a goddamn love letter. To you.”
