Just Roommates

1| Caffeine Overload

As the night progressed, people slowly started to pack their bags and leave, and I cleaned the tables, and occasionally, making the orders for someone asking for a drink.

After most of the crowd was gone, I took out my books once again, and just like before, spread them out, reading and solving, in peace and quiet of the amazing night.

"Welcome, what can I get ya?" I muttered sheepishly, my attention still on my books as a shadow fell over the counter.

"Can I get a brownie and a hot cup of milk?" an extremely sexy voice said, making me immediately look up from my books.

In front of me stood a tall guy with light caramel skin. His eyes were the stormiest blue, or rather gray, I had ever seen and his hair was jet black with hints of silver highlights in it.
He had high cheekbones and a chiseled jawline, making me immediately compare him to Arlo.

"Yeah sure" I whispered, tearing my eyes away from him and walking over to the kitchen.

"What are you studying?" he asked me.

I turned my head and saw him peering over my notes.

The pastel blue hoodie he wore, hid his figure but the way the veins showed on his hands, made it definite that he wasn't the one to fool around in gyms.

"Nothing, just some work from college" I told him, heating up the brownie and drizzling some chocolate sauce on it.

"Here, that would be-"

He put the money on the counter then, taling his order, sat down on the table directly infront of me.

I put away the money and went back to studying.

"Which college do you attend?" he asked me after a while and looked up from my book.

"Er-" I stammered, racking my brain to find the answer.

Wait, what was the name of my college?!

"Excuse me, but, did you forget which college you attend by any chance?" he laughed.

"No! Of course not! You asked me such a random question when I am clearly preoccupied!" I said defensively, masking my embarrassment.

I think for another few seconds before blurting "UCLA" out.

"Oh really? I will start going there from tomorrow!" he exclaimed.

"Good for you" I curtly said, picking up my book again.

Come on take a hint and leave! I want to finish my last assignment before my shift gets over!

"What's you major?" the guy asked me and I groaned, wishing for the floor to open up and swallow me with my assignments.

"Hi, I am Vesper. I attend UCLA and I am a sophomore. My major is 'business management' and I have four very important assignments due this week so please let me work!" I snapped and then immediately regretted it.

What the fuck? Why did I say that?

"Cool" the guy muttered and went back to eating his brownie.
