The bad boy is my roommate

Chapter six - secret rendezvous and starbucks

"Looks who's back from the gym" Grayson smirks

I roll my eyes leaving my keys down "look who's not out with a girl"

"That's later babe" he smirks "you know if that's the type of clothes you wear to the gym then you should definitely bring me some time, we can workout together if you get what I mean"

"Do you even know what a gym is Gray?"

Gray? Seriously Emma

"Gray?" He smirks

"Babe?"

Luckily I saved having to go for a shower because I done it at the gym and changed into spare gym clothes

"Oh hey, your brother Michael is i-?"

"Tom"

"Ya him. Well he rang me an-"

"How did he get your number?" I interrupt

"He said something about hacking your phone"

"I'm gonna kill him" I mutter

"Anyway he rang me to tell you to go to your moms wedding"

"Why is he telling you about that"

"Let me think" he pretends to think "probably because he thinks I'm your boyfriend"

"Well tell him I'm not going"

"Why not?"

"I'm just not" I turn from the counter "what did he think you'd be able to persuade be during some island sex"

He smirks "I mean I can try if yo-"

The door opens "try to do what?"

I don't recognise the voice but once they come into my view from the kitchen area I realise who it is

"What are you doing here bro?" Grayson asks surprised the blonde is standing on front of him

"I needed to ask you something" he responds and then notices me "you didn't tell me your roommate was a chick"

"Didn't exactly come up in conversation"

"And you are?" I ask playing dumb

"Luke, an old friend of Graysons"

I nod

"So anyway, ar-"

"One second" Grayson interrupts Luke and turns his attentions to me

"What?" I say once they both look at me neither of them saying anything. I cross my arms "I'm not leaving"

Grayson huffs standing up "you see what I have to deal with"

"You see what I have to deal with" I mock him as they walk out

Luke and Grayson are whispering and Grayson is holding the door and theres no way I can chance getting caught eavesdropping, so I'm going to have to sit this one out

"See you then man" I faintly hear Luke mutter walking away

Grayson walks back in a second later

"Indian or Chinese" He asks

"Chinese" I lie down on my bed taking my phone out "I'm going to be fat by the end of this year"

He laughs taking two bottles of beer out of the fridge and throwing one at me, which I catch easily "I highly doubt that, you go to the gym enough for the two of us"

"So how come you're body looks like that?" I ask "I'm pretty sure beer doesn't do that to you"

"Like what?" He smirks and dodges my question as he sat down on his bed and turned on the television

I roll my eyes at his cockiness "You know what I mean Grayson"

"Oh you mean my abs and muscles" he flicks the channel "you should have just said that babe"

"So how?" I persist "you never seem to go to the gym"

Never seem to tell me you're going to the gym

"I used to go to the gym" he states "never really have time anymore"

"More like to busy banging girls"

"Jealous"

"Actually thankful I get this place to myself most of the time"

"Sure" he responds sarcastically

Pretending to be asleep was one of my biggest struggles in life, I could never do it even if the other person isn't paying any attention to me yet here I find myself in the situation where it's 3am and my roommate who thinks I'm asleep is sneaking out.... again

I give him a few seconds so I know he'll be far enough down the hall not to notice his crazy roommate stalker following him

I'm almost at the exit door when a voice makes me stop in my tracks

"Emma?" I turn around to Patricia a fake smile on my face "what are you doing here at this time?"

"Hey Patricia" I look at my workout gear that luckily I had kept on "I'm just going to the gym, you know it's twenty four hours, thought I'd go because I couldn't sleep"

"Wait what are you doing here?" I ask her and her eyes widen like she's a deer in headlights "in the boys section"

"I uh I...." she thinks for a minute "Emma you know what I'm doing here but please please don't ask who I'm here to see"

"I get it" I nod "actually can you not tell your brother that I was going to the gym, he'll only give me shit for it"

She smiles nodding "sounds like him"

I smile at her "thanks"

"No problem. So seen as we're both up wanna go to the twenty four hour Starbucks?"

"Is that even a question" I laugh

"You push yourself too hard" Tricia concludes out of no where

Really Trish we were just talking about boys

"What do you mean?" I ask looking at my coffee

"Your lack of eye contact proves you know what I mean" she responds suddenly serious "you push yourself too hard at the gym"

"No I don't"

"Em you were going to the gym at 3am and it's not the first time you have. I can see your location on snapchat and your fitness updates with your 10k followers"

"It's 16.2 actually" I change the subject

It's not like I was going to the gym tonight

"So why do you push so hard?" She asks

"I don't know" my voice is suddenly quiet and that's anything but me "it helps me be noticed"

"You don't need to go to the gym for that" she tells me "you already have the body every girl wants, thousands of followers but you don't need any of that. You have an amazing personality, you say it how it is and you're so pretty every boy wants you"

I smile "You do realise you've described yourself too"

She laughs "minus the followers and the body"

"You ha-"

"I have a big bum you have huge bum goals"

I laugh "do you have class in the morning?"

"Nope I have evening classes instead" she huffs "what about you?"

"My first class is in.." I check the time on my phone "two hours"

She gasps "and you're here with me"

"I'm not going to them anyway" I tell her "I'll just take the online class tomorrow night"

"Why not?" She asks

"Job hunting"

"Ooo where?"

I bite my lip "the gym"

"Uhh Emma"

"I mightn't even get the job" I smile sweetly

She laughs "you know you'll get the job"
