just another roomie

When I came home earlier I was so full of positive energy that I had to do something with it.

So I cleaned the house, cooked dinner, and made dessert.

I did it all in a blink of an eye.

Now that I was waiting for Mason to emerge from the shower I had nothing to do, so I thought to myself, why not.

Let’s get a bit dolled up.

I hurried into my room and for the second time in a span of 24 hours started digging in my closet for something nice.

For a change, today’s evening was pretty warm.

So I decided on a nice blue summer dress with green stripes.

It reached my mid thighs, was strapless and allowed almost no cleavage to be displayed. But the back was another story. It had a low cut that reached almost all the way down to my ass.

Now this I call fancy but still casually.

I paired my outfit with nice blue flats and fixed my make up a little.

Now I guess I was ready.

I came out of my room and spotted Mason right away.

He was bent over the kitchen counter trying to steal some sauce.

I faked a cough but it didn’t even startle him.

He stayed in his position when he spoke.

“I was wondering if I was supposed to prepare anything or just start eating. Whoa. Are you going out or something?”

In the middle of talking he turned my way and shock was obviously written on his face.

I giggled at his statement.

Wait. What the fuck?

Since when did I become a giggling high schooler again?

Get a grip woman!

“Is it too much? I just wanted to look somewhat nice. After all, we are celebrating.”

E was still looking at me with shock but shook his head a moment later and just like that he was back to Mason I knew.

“Nah it’s ok. We are just two frenemies eating a celebratory dinner together. And you are right. You do look nice. To be honest you look beautiful.”

Wait. Was that a compliment?

I finally checked him out as well.

Well, well. It looked like we had the same idea.

Because he stood in front of me wearing jeans that hugged his ass in a perfect way, and he paired them with a light blue button down.

I chuckled under my breath before I answered him.

“Well thank you. You don’t look so bad yourself. I can’t believe we even managed to coordinate our colors. Would you mind helping me set the table and then we can eat?”

He showed me with his hand that I should lead the way, and I did it gladly.

Once we got the table set we started with our dinner.

I was waiting for Mason to take his first bite, so there was no chance I’d miss his reaction.

And I wasn’t disappointed.

As soon as he took his first bite he moaned, and it was not a good sound for my body.

Especially since I wasn’t wearing a bra and his moan made my nipples harden in an instant.

“Damn Rachel. I can cook, but this is something completely different. Where’d you learn to cook like this?”

I gave him a soft smile.

“It’s one of my grandma’s recipes. I don’t make food by her recipes so often anymore, because they take a lot of time, since everything is made from scratch. But when I cook by them, it is usually when I am celebrating something.”

“It’s amazing. But you better dig in or you will be hungry, because I won’t have enough if I eat only what is on my plate.”

I chuckled but dug into my dinner.

It tasted the same as when grandma made it for me when I was younger.

It was like my own teleporting machine to go back in time.

We ate in silence and once we were finished Mason threw me out of the kitchen with a glass of red wine in hand.

He said I am not allowed to wash the dishes since I cooked.

So I obeyed and sat in the living room.

I was drinking my wine and enjoying some TV time.

He joined me in half an hour, once he cleaned the whole kitchen.

We were just watching some tv when suddenly I started drifting off.

But I tried to keep my eyes opened because it felt nice.

“You can lean on me if you want to take a nap. And I can wake you up once the movie is over.”

He shocked me but I was tk tired to care.

So I just moved closer and leaned on him like he suggested.

And in seconds I was out like the lights.

*************

I woke up because someone was shaking me.

“Rach? Come on, let’s get you to your bed.”

But my brain was not ready to cooperate with my body and it felt like my legs were not willing to move.

“Nooo. Want to sleep.”

He chuckled and lifted me bridal style.

It felt somehow familiar but I had no idea from when.

Mason never carried me before tonight, right?

Nah I would sure remember those muscles under me.

We reached my bedroom and when he tried to move away I pulled him down on the bed next to me .

“You are not going anywhere. I am not ready to say goodbye to my pillow. Did anyone tell you that you’re a really soft pillow even though you have all these muscles?”

He laughed lightly.

“You are a very chatty person when you are half asleep. Has anyone ever told you that?”

I had to smile at his comeback.

“Guess we both lived in the dark because no one told us these important facts.”

“Goodnight Rachel. Sweet dreams.”

I could hear a smile in his words and at that moment I realized I might even like my roomie a little bit.

With those thoughts running around my head I drifted off to sleep.

I will think about it in the morning.
