I stay in bed until he calls me out 20 minutes later. The smell of bacon hits my nose and my stomach begins to rumble. A small plate is waiting for me on the island next to Jeremy.

My heart pounds so loud in my ears as I sit next to him on the barstools. Why is it awkward now. He's busy watching tik toks on his phone and doesn't bother to look up. I take a bite of the bacon. Jeremy may not be a good cook but he sure as hell can do breakfast like a pro.

We are only a foot apart and my eyes wander to his hands. They were wrapped around me so tight not even an hour ago. I've seen those hands a million times but after we woke, the way I see them now is different. God, I need a boyfriend or just a good fucking from a really hot guy. Like Jer...

I cough. "Good job," my voice cracks before I can finish my sentence. Oh my god. I'm losing my voice.

He puts his phone down and tilts his head to the side. "What?"

I clear my throat and try again but it comes out whispy. Water. A glass of orange juice sits next to the plate so I throw back a mouthful.

"Breakfast. Good." He even went through the trouble of making pancakes too.

He snorts, smiling wide. "Yeah, no problem. Thought you were going to be hungry since you threw up last night."

I nod, keeping my mouth shut except for shovelling the bacon and eggs in.

"Thank you for, um, taking care of me."

"You're welcome. And I'm sorry for sleeping with you."

Sleeping together. Why does it sound like we had sex? We didn't though, we just slept in the same bed. A soft snort leaves my nose before I even think about responding to that.

"I mean falling asleep with you. Not that we slept together, we only slept in the same bed. I wouldn't do that. Especially while you were out cold."

"I know that. Relax. You're acting like this is your first time sharing a bed with a woman."

He squints at me. "Just reassuring you since you were acting all weird on me." He stands up and takes my empty plate to the sink. "You were staring pretty hard at my hard—"

"I wasn't!" I argue then stand up. Yes I was but I'm not admitting that to him. "I'm going back to bed." I almost say do you want to join me, as a joke but I know Jer would most likely say yes.

"Aight." He laughs. "I'll probably be at the gym when you wake but I'll make dinner."

He's not going to one of his girlfriends' places tonight? "You are?"

"Yeah. Jas and Penelope are both out of town until tomorrow so I got nowhere to be."

Hmm. That's a first. I shrug and head for my room. "Okay, see you later then."

While Jeremy is at the gym, I take a nice, hot shower since I couldn't sleep for long. Then make a healthy smoothie to boost my immune system. Jer calls it 'the shrek' since it is so green. He has become quite the fan of my smoothies. I always make a little bit extra for him and save it for his post-workout meal.

He hasn't come home yet so I decide to nest myself on the couch and finally watch The Witcher series on Netflix. It came out a couple months ago but I haven't had the chance until now. I heard it was good, and after watching my brothers play the games, I fell in love with it. Another bonus is that yummy Henry Cavill plays Geralt of Rivea. Major lady boners right there.

About halfway through the episode Jeremy comes home.

"Hey."

"Yo." He nods as he steps inside. I watch him while he takes his shoes off and get a glimpse of his chest through the giant arm holes of his shirt. Man tank? I don't know... His shirt has big holes on either side and I can see his sculpted torso. There's a thin coat of sweat covering his neck and chest too. That gives me slight lady boners, no joke.

You know it was probably a mistake moving in with him. He's exactly my type; athletic, funny and he turns out to be smart and actually super nice. If he didn't have girlfriends, we probably would've already fucked. Or we might of hooked up anyway if I wasn't his roommate. If my mom knew any of this she wouldn't approve. She was raised Catholic and believed in sex after marriage. Not me, I've been fooling around since I was 15. Lost my virginity when I was 17. My mom thinks I'm still 'pure' and if she ever found out she would flog my ass.

She barely let me stay with Jeremy in the beginning. I had to beg my mom to let me stay somewhere off campus, not in coed dorms. There was no way I was going to live in a sorority either. It was a big fight but my dad convinced her. Anyway, all I'm saying is that I have been good at controlling myself around Jer.

"Look at you all cozy." He comments. "And you're watching The Witcher!"

My eyes focus out and I realize he is standing by the couch, facing the tv. Was I staring at him the whole time? I shift in my spot to sit up more. "Uh, yeah. I figured I have the time now, so why not?"

"Sweet! I'll go shower and join you." He says, taking his shirt off as he is heading for the bathroom. His back muscles ripple under his glistening skin. Fuck he's hot. I need to stop staring before I get caught.

Wait what did he say? "I thought you watched it already?"

"No I waited so we can watch together." He says, standing in the doorway of the bathroom.

"Oh, okay." Wow, that's like 6 months of waiting... He tells me to pause it while he showers so I wait for him on the couch. Definitely not thinking of him in there.

10 minutes later he comes out in his shorts, no shirt on. Of course. He plops down next to me and I get a whiff of his body wash. Old spice. Love that smell on guys.

"How was the gym?" I ask to occupy my thoughts.

"Fine. Should have come with me. There were some good looking guys there."

"Damn." I mutter. "Guess I missed out this time." The gym is the perfect place to pick up guys. Call it a hunting ground if you will. Going on runs have gotten kind of boring, maybe I should start going back. At this point I'm in need of a different distraction.

"Okay. Let's watch this show." He claps his hands together and slides back into the couch further after getting my left over smoothie from the fridge. "What has happened so far?"

I roll my eyes but tell him everything within the first 20 mins of this episode.
