Despicable Roommate

Lunch with Alec was really great. Plus he was actually nice to me that whole time. We even got to know each other more because we had never talked about each other together before like we did that day. There had been no bad arguments between us by the time he suggested we take a walk. He wanted to take me to his friends so I could get to know them, though they had pretty much ignored me the last time they were in our apartment.

I couldn’t wait to reach there as soon as possible. It would be nice to know them for they truly are so I could erase my earlier judgments. We were almost there when we met the last person I wanted to meet on earth.

Carina. She was wearing a short red dress that left nothing to the imagination. It had a long plunging neckline and ended mid-thigh. When she saw us, she tugged it higher making me cringe in disgust. So much desperation. On the other hand, Alec smiled like he had just seen the most beautiful thing ever, as if his breath had been taken away.

I hated that girl from the bottom of my heart. And yes, I was a tad bit jealous. Sue me.

She leaped forward and gave Alec a hug and a short kiss on the lips. To my dismay, Alec returned the favors as if I wasn’t there. Would I ever get used to it? Alec always preferred other girls to me. Why was he always so bad on my side? He couldn’t even make me happy for a full day. I tried to act like I didn’t care, but deep inside me i did. I cared a little too much about it. I couldn’t stop it from hurting.

“How are you, Carina?” Alec asked her. I was still standing there. Call me stupid and I won’t hate you. I knew I should have walked away a long time back.

“Fine and what are doing with her?” She said glancing over at me for a sec.

“We were just going somewhere” Alec told her, and she shot me another evil look. If only I could do the same to her.

“Now that I found you I can’t let you go, Al.” She smiled at him and linked her tiny arm with his.

“I want you all to myself,” She continued while caressing his arm. “I really need you, babe.”

I could take no more and so, I turned to walk back home without saying anything. Alec called out for me but I didn’t even look back. What did he think? That I could stand there like a fool and watch whatever they had to do? Hell no, I may not be the smartest kid around but I was intelligent enough to know when my presence wasn’t wanted.

I was really hurt by the fact that he never turned her down because we were going somewhere. It was clear I wasn’t his type but he had no right to treat me like that. I couldn’t give him what he needed. He was a sex addict and couldn’t live without it. It seemed that was the only thing that came to his mind when he saw a woman. Despicable.

Besides, he wasn’t even my type at all. I prefer a guy with a working brain, someone who can do and think of something other than sex. Alec wasn’t nowhere near to that because he was totally brainless. How I hated him!

I hurried to my apartment and was there in no time. I could do with a good movie. Out of my collection, I picked up Tut, a miniseries. It had Avan Jogia, that amazingly cute boy that doesn’t get the attention he deserves. I didn’t want sappy romance movies or horror so I settled for it. I hurriedly picked some cookies from the kitchen because I couldn’t wait to start the movie.

It was my first time watching it and my friend who suggested it had warned me of some sad parts ahead. I knew it wasn’t going to end well for both Tut and I but watched it anyway.

She was right. By the end, I regretted watching it. How could he die? To make it worse, his love died before him. His own sister killed the girl he loved and killed him indirectly. There’s no better way to end a day than with a sad love story.

As I turned the TV off, Alec walked in looking really glum. I wondered what happened. Did Carina just reveal to him that she’d infected him with some disease or what?

I was putting back my movie to one of the drawers when I felt him standing behind me.

Alec’s pov

I was getting to spend more time with the best girl in the world when I met Carina. How I hate that bitch for interrupting my moments with Lynn! I think I liked Lynn, but wasn’t just about to do anything about it. She was an awesome person mostly when you treated her well because that’s what she deserved. Besides, she was so cute. The only problem was that she was not so much confident.

I didn’t like Carina that much but I needed her services. I needed to forget about how I felt for Lynn because she hated me like hell. I couldn’t last long without sex because it was my life.

I didn’t do much with Carina because as soon as I reached her apartment, I felt uncomfortable. Something wasn’t right and I didn’t want to her anymore. I’d totally lost the urge as my feelings were kind of directed to one person. I tried to focus in vain.

“I’m very sorry I have to go,” I said and was out of the door before she could reply.

I had to think about all this so I sat somewhere to clear my head.

After a very long time, I decided I wanted Lynn and I was going to have her.

Nothing was going to stop me from getting the girl I liked.
