CHAPTER 3

'Yap! it's the sexy me" he said smirking.

"What the hell are you doing in my room. Are you stalking me?"I snickered

"Come on, why would I stalk you, you aren't that beautiful.

Ouch! that actually hurts, why does it even bother me, who needs his approval anyway. He isn't that beautiful either.

Oh okay, scratch that, I know he is a walking sex god but I would never admit that to him. It would only inflate his ego. God knows I need no fat ego popping in my face.

"Why are you in my room anyway!"

"This is not your room princess."

"This is my room dumbass" wait did he just call me princess?

"Huh! see who is backing out on his words. You said I wasn't that beautiful."I say mocking him.

(**scratching his head)"well yeah..."

"Enough of the bickering, both of you"Sydney interrupts.

"Trevor, this is my new roommate Anna, Anna, this is my brother, Trevor"

What! did she just say, brother!

"And you should stop arguing. I want my roommate and brother to get along. How did you guys even meet anyway."

Yap! I heard her right. He is her freaking brother!Great!Just fucking great!

Sydney looks at me with the"I want the details look", as we all sit on the couch, I and Trevor ignoring each other's existence.

"Now, who is up for a movie"Sydney announces.

We both agree as Sydney just stands and chooses 'The Countdown.'

"Wait! why the hell did you choose that movie. I can't fucking watch it at night, I'll have freaking nightmares!’’I try arguing.

Sydney just shrugs her shoulders as she walks towards the kitchen, probably getting some popcorns as Trevor just smirks at me.

"I just love horror movies, you can cuddle with Trevor, he is a good cuddle bear and you will feel safer. That's what I usually did when I was at first scared of them. Trust me, it helps."

I look at his face as his smirk just triumphs. I inch closer to him hesitantly since my body seems to be following orders from an unknown person and he throws a blanket over us. I keep my distance from his body as I fidget my fingers under the blanket.

Sydney finally comes back with two bowls full of popcorns and a tub of ice cream. One of vanilla and another of chocolate. She hands me the vanilla ice cream and takes the chocolate one for herself.

"How did you know I hate chocolate"

"You just accidentally spilled some of your secrets while trying to calm me down a while ago, "Sydney replies as she shrugs her shoulder. I now realize that she tends to do that a lot, shrugging her shoulders. I guess everyone has a habit.

Oh yeah, I don't really like anything with chocolate which is kind of weird since most girls are known to be obsessed with chocolate flavors. I just don't understand what their fascination is. Hey, I personally have nothing against chocolate lovers, It's nice to have an obsession, I guess.

"Back to earth Anna, the movie has just started."Sydney snaps her fingers close to my face.

Twenty minutes into the movie, I glance at Sydney only to find her fast asleep."So much for suggesting a movie night herself." I mentally roll my eyes as I take back my focus on the movie.

I suddenly shriek in fear as another demon pops out of nowhere and I instinctively tuck my face in the crook of Trevor's neck as I hang on his muscular body for dear life. I feel his body going still as I breathe out in relief. The demon is gone.

His body remains still as he shifts uncomfortably away from me.

Ouch! That actually hurts, am I that disgusting to him that he goes rigid when I touch him? I slowly take off my hands and face from his neck as a lone tear slips and falls onto his neck and I sit back to my previous position. I fidget with my fingers as I stare at my lap, a habit I find hard to control whenever I am nervous.

"Don't cry, you can't cry, you can't show him how much he affects you..." my thoughts are interrupted when I feel him lean in and connect his soft lips with my own.

I unconsciously give in to his kiss which soon turns out into a passionate make-out session. He lifts me with ease and places me on his lap. I straddle him, never breaking the kiss as he stuffs his hands under my t-shirt. A mourn finds its way out of my mouth and I instinctively arch my back when he runs his palm over my spine. I have never felt this kind of pleasure before, I shiver as he runs his hands over my already exposed legs. An unfamiliar ache in my core driving me to move my body closer to his.

But,...

He suddenly goes rigid and abruptly stops the kiss, lifts me, and places me back on the couch. He then stands up and leaves, as I stare at him wide-eyed.

I don't notice as tears unconsciously start flowing but I quickly wipe them away. Sydney starts awaking from her deep slumber as I try to effectively erase any evidence of tears from my face.

(Groaning**)"how did I fall asleep."Sydney slurs her words as she wakes up.

"Where is that asshole, was I just dreaming or did I hear you moan Trevor's name?"She says as she sits next to me.

I freeze, suddenly finding it hard to breathe.

"Hey," Sydney snaps her fingers on my face."Pick up your jaw, we don't want you swallowing flies."She says laughing.

I sigh in relief when she takes her scrutinizing eyes off me.

"I must have been dreaming, you can't possibly moan Trevor's name. You know the reason I don't have so many friends is that all of those stupid girls befriend me just so that they can get close to my brother. It sucks. But you my friend, are one of a kind you are the first girl who has set her eyes on my brother and has not fallen at his feet begging him to take her."She continues to talk as she lifts herself from the floor.

Am still in shock from what she said about hearing me moan Trevor's name.

That last statement however snaps me to reality as guilt quickly fills the space previously filled with shock.

The memories fill my mind and the guilt intensifies.

"No-no-no. I can't possibly do this to my friend. The only friend I have had however little time I have known her."I repeat like a mantra in my head as I rush back to my room.

I can hear Sydney following behind me but I slam the door in her face. She tries to jiggle the door's knob but she can't open it.

I throw myself on the bed and try to tune out Sydney's protests so that I can drift to peaceful sleep but it doesn't seem to come when I need it the most. So I have no choice but to stare at the ceiling while today's thoughts come back to me.

"Why didn't I pull away when he kissed me, why did it feel so good, what is this new feeling."

I have never had a chance to have a boyfriend so I don't know the feeling that comes with having one. Back at home, every guy stayed clear of me, especially whenever I told them my last name, Gregory. That's my dad's name and it always left me wondering why it always scared the living hell out of technically everyone I have met before. I once had a feeling it’s because my uncle who now runs the family's business took my dad's name as his last name. He claims that with my father’s name, he now has connections all over the world. He also claims that a foreign name in whatever kind of business he runs is well respected, hence the change of names. I once overheard him tell my mom that with me in the business, he will triumph to no boundaries. I always had a feeling that it's an illegal business but I wasn't very sure because mom never talks about the business.

That however did not stop me from having thoughts about what was wrong with me, especially my body. I know that I had a bit of weight on my body than most girls but come on, I am not that fat. That is why it really got to me when Trevor said that I was not his type or rather when he left abruptly after 'using me'.

I can almost taste all of the anger I feel towards myself."Why do I always drive everyone away? Am I not always good enough?"

Minutes later, I find myself drifting in and out of sleep but when I open my eyes next, a shadow leaning on my door startles me.
