anything. We are almost caught up to the current season. We don’t talk about Grey’s ahead of time. We only watch together. I don’t know what Lox is going to do now.” He shakes his head. “We have the current season DVR-ing. Once we’re caught up, we’ll watch it. You can watch with us, but you aren’t allowed to divulge any information about more current episodes.”
“O-kay. Don’t get so worked up, I understand.” I put my hand on his chest, trying to calm him down. “I promise, I won’t say anything.”
Huck shakes his head and the doorbell rings. Sly jumps up off the stool he was leaning against. “Pizza’s here!”
Huck rolls his eyes and shakes his head. “No shit, Sherlock.”
This is going to be an interesting living situation.
~*~*~
In the middle of the night, I wake up holding my throat and trying to catch my breath. I can still hear Drake and people from my past in my head, taunting me.
You’re nothing but a fat ass. You’re sorry, you’re lazy. A lot of good your pretty face will do you, Tessie Two Ton.
I shove the comforter off my body and head to the bathroom to splash some water on my face. Running into a topless girl with obviously fake tits in the hall is not something I will say I was prepared for.
She giggles. “Hi, I’m Cami.”
“Hi.”
“So are you here with the other twin?”
“No, I live here.”
She looks shocked. “Oh.”
I nod. “Yeah. Oh.”
“Well, I just didn’t know they had a sister or something. I’m so sorry, if I’d known I would have never assumed you were sleeping with one of them. I’m so embarrassed. I mean looking at you now, I can see that you aren’t even their type.”
I don’t even bother to correct her. I’m used to it. I’ve never been viewed as any kind of threat by other women, or well, not ones that look like Cami anyway.
Okay, so to say the past two weeks have been interesting is putting it lightly. Getting used to being coed roommates is different. Funny, disgusting, annoying, but different. We’ve had to sit down and make a list of rules.
HOUSE RULES
Put the toilet seat back down. (Huck and Sly)
No having sex in the living room, kitchen, hallway or foyer. (Huck)
Don’t leave bras and panties hanging in the bathroom. (Kara)
Turn down the porn. (Everyone)
Don’t drink milk from the carton. (Sly)
All hair and beauty products have to stay in our own bedroom. (Sly and Kara)
Put the toilet paper on the roller. (Sly and Huck)
I don’t want your (one nighter) to ask me to join in if I happen to be up going to the bathroom. (Huck)
Pre-warn any female that you bring home that another platonic female lives here. (Sly and Huck)
Close the loaf of bread back up when you use it. (Sly and Huck)
My face is healed enough that I can finally go back to work. Today was my first day back and besides the awkward glances from patients, it was pretty great. I missed being at work. Hanging out here every day, I felt like I was hiding out. Which could be partially true, but the State Attorney’s office called me today to let me know that Drake had been served with a No Contact order. Sly and the guys still think it would be a good idea if I go back to self-defense class. I probably will once my ribs are a little stronger.
I still have some nightmares. I still hear him in my head pointing out all of my faults. Trust me, my faults are something that have been pointed out to me since I was in Junior High School. Teenager’s words can make Drake’s seem like a pussy cat. Trust me, I’ve been on a diet of some sort or kind since I was thirteen. I have a big ass, I know it.
Sly walks in the living room as soon as he gets home. “Huck isn’t coming home tonight so we can’t watch Grey’s . What do you want to do?”
“You don’t have to stay home and hang out with me. You could’ve went with Huck.” You could’ve lined up whatever piece of blonde bimbo Barbie ass you wanted to for tonight.
He shakes his head
