"You know that this isn't how roommates act, right?" Her soft voice filled his room along with the quiet ambience of his game playing on the background. The girl was sitting comfortably on his lap, the palm of her hands resting comfortably on his chest, her legs dangling back and forth beside his thighs.
"Hey.. what are we..?" She quietly mumbles. The tension between them for the past few weeks were thick. Giving each other shy smiles, short glances that turned into gaze of longing, hands coincidentally touching, short awkward conversations turned into deep late night talks.
Now the girl was sitting on his lap, letting out quiet sniffles as he wiped her tears away. She felt guilty, but she didn't know why. Her (ex) boyfriend never comforted her like this, he never took her feelings seriously. But her roommate made her feel more loved, comforted, and happy.
"Listen I..." Sighing softly, She looked down anxiously at her lap, fingers fiddling with each other as she bit her lip. "I-I just recently got out of a messy relationship...and I don't- don't wanna make it seem like I'm using you to move on... This whole thing that's been going on for the past few weeks...Its making me overthink on what our relationship is.."
