Said Roommate

9: Said Turn-On

I'm guessing Ethan was sober enough to drive. His car was parked some distance away from the club. I felt like taking my heels off, but even with a clouded mind, my appearance came before my pain. Taking off my heels would only result in tackiness, something I could never do.

Ethan opened the door for me, a gentleman, before pulling out. We ended up going to my place making my mind swirl with ideas of how to kick him out tomorrow. Maybe I could get Carter involved. Guys always feel threatened by a man more than a woman, something that pissed me off to the core.

We parked at the complex and I walked slowly to my room. We went up the elevator and towards my door. I fumbled with my keys before successfully unlocking the door only to find a chick in my living room.

"Who the hell are you?" She asked me.

"Fucᴋ!" I yelled to no one in particular. Carter emerged and I cursed him silently. This roommate arrangement was going to be harder than I thought.

"You didn't tell me you lived with another girl." She squealed. "Oh my gosh! You're dating her, aren't you. You fucᴋing pig!" She grabbed her stuff.

"No, no, no! You've got it all wrong. Why would I be interested in her?" Carter remarked.

I scoffed. "You really want to go there."

"You are not helping Bailey." I kept my lips shut. The girl pushed past me before turning around and looking at me.

"I hope you know you are dating a cheater."

"We are not together!" I yelled after her. I saw Ethan standing at the side and suddenly remembered his presence.

"Well this is awkward." I face palmed myself. "I think I'm just going to go." He swiftly turned on his heels and headed to the elevator.

"Wow. I just lost a good bang for the night because of you. You know how many stories I've heard about him, and now I can't even experience it." I complained. "Thank you Carter."

"This is my fault?"

"Of course it is." I stomped my foot to emphasize my point. I ended up tripping over my own two feet and had to grab hold of the wall to keep myself from getting a mouthful of my rug. Making sure I was balanced, I added, "Lost my ticket to the best sex ever."

"Ethan is your definition of the best sex ever? I'm so shocked you lowered you standards Bailey." I was taking off one of my shoes when I decided to throw it at him.

He ducked it before looking at me like I was a madwoman. I attempted taking off the other one and just as I was about to throw it, Carter grabbed a hold of my arms and pinned them against the wall.

Bad decision because that was my number one turn on. Pin me against a wall and things take a turn. My mind was thinking about all the things we could do on this wall while Carter was saying words that I couldn't even hear due to my train of thought.

"Are you even listening to me?" He let out a heavy breath.

"Nah. Just thinking about this wall, and what we can do on it." And the cage is unlocked. His eyes widened when he realized what came out of my mouth. My potty mouth like my mom would call it.

"Are you okay? Do you have a fever?" He pressed a hand to my forehead letting one of my arms fall to my sides.

"Nope. It's just that you and I in this position is a massive turn on. My sex drive is heightened." Maybe I should lay off the alcohol, I thought to myself.

"Oh really now?" He quirked an eyebrow. His tone of voice was deeper and his eyes clouded over.

"And now you're turned on too." He lifted both eyebrows now. "I'm great at reading body language." We still hadn't moved from the wall. With one hand still enclosed around my wrist holding my shoe, and another hand trapping me between him, the situation looked weird at first glance.

One thing was for sure, Kyle was right about the sexual tension thing. It was thick and the room was getting hotter. I'm guessing it was the clashing egos that kept us still for a while before he let my hand go. The shoe in my hand fell onto his foot making me laugh as he screeched in pain.

"Even after all that, I still got you."

If I thought drinking with Reese was bad, drinking with Carter was worse. I made the move to change into a white t-shirt and a pair of Victoria Secret boxer shorts before settling on drinking this beer in my hand.

Carter disappeared and I was hoping he tried to freefall out of his window. I was wrong however when he suddenly appeared with music in the background. I recognized the tune as Old Time Rock n' Roll most recognizable off of Risky Business. He came towards me, lip synching into the beer bottle he was clutching. I took notice of his absence of pants, only wearing boxers and an oxford shirt like Tom Cruise. With his backside facing me, I took this as a chance to check out his ass.

"Hey! You're supposed to be dancing."

"It's completely unnatural if I start dancing in the middle of the song." I took another sip out of my beer bottle.

"Fine. I'll restart it."

"What if I don't want to get up?" He lifted me up with ease and set me at the end of the hallway. On the first set of the intro. I already knew this was all going to go downhill. My slide out was discombobulated due to the moderate intoxication.

I rammed into Carter's side and we fell onto the floor. I laughed as he began to serenade me into his beer bottle that he miraculously held on to. I pushed him off and hopped onto the coffee table.

Still like that old time rock n' roll!

That kind of music just soothes the soul.

The music spewed out of the speakers as we made complete fools out of ourselves. By the end of the song, I had collapsed onto the couch out of breath and tired. I let the bottle roll out of my hand and onto the floor.

We were enveloped in silence before Carter spoke up, "I wouldn't be surprised if someone filed a complaint of public disturbance."

Like I said before, I'll just blame it on the alcohol.

This chapter was so hard to write because I kept erasing it and shit. But, this is the ending. Minimal Bailey and Carter contact just the way I like it.

Yeah, so um... word of advice, never drink a drink that has been left unattended seeing as some guys like to drug girls drinks to get laid.

But yeah, BE SAFE! And vote, comment, follow. Still looking for cast members. I'm not even sure about Chace Crawford. I feel like there is someone better.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter.

P.S. > I'm aiming for two more updates this week.
