Chapter One
Dean
“I’m confused. It goes where?” my roommate, Kaley, asks with a tilt of her head.
“It goes in the hole.” I smirk while fighting the urge to crack up.
“How on Earth would it fit in that hole? I mean, it’s too big, the hole is too small.” She pouts and crosses her arms over her chest.
“That’s the point. It’s part of the word problem.” I pick up the paper and read it to her again.
She shakes her head and crosses her arms over her chest.
Being a guy, I look as her breasts are pushed up by the movement, with the V-neck shirt she’s wearing giving me an excellent view of her cleavage.
“Dean, why can’t you do my homework for me? That would make this a lot easier.” Her lower lip pouts out, her eyelashes bat as she stares at me.
“Because I have my own homework to do.” I shoot back at her as I stand and retreat from the living room back to my bedroom.
I’m not lying, I have a crap-ton of homework to do. Tonight is the first night that I’ve been home before nine, and I intend to take full advantage of it. I finished training early tonight because of the power going out at the gym. So while being home this early wasn’t planned, it is nice to have a quick break in my daily regimen.
“I need more help, Dean! You’re my best friend, my roommate, and the most smartest person that I know.” She whines, following me.
“Call Denise.” I tell her. “She’s good at homework.”
“Your sister and Todd are going out tonight, something about keeping the love alive,” she says.
“Either way, I need to do my own homework. If I keep talking to you about your homework, I will get nothing done.”
I pull out my English Lit book, notebook, and a pen out of my backpack, sit down at the head of my bed and lean my head back against the wall as I close my eyes.
Her voice is far away, but I know that it shouldn’t be. Then a moment later, she shakes my shoulder.
Apparently, I fell asleep.
I shake my head and my eyes focus on Kaley.
“I thought you were doing your homework?” she asks.
“I came in here to do it, but I don’t know what happened.” I rub my eyes.
“You’ve been in here for two hours,” she says softly. “You alright?”
“Yeah. I am probably just catching up on sleep. What’s up? Did you need more help on your homework that I won’t give?”
“No,” she hesitates and bites her lower lip. “Alright, so, you know how I’ve told you that my parents are super conservative?”
“Yeah, what about it?” Where the hell is she going with this?
I recall off-handed comments she’s made, but we’ve never really had that specific conversation, at least that I’m aware of.
“Well, they may or may not be coming to town to visit for a few weeks.” She fidgets with the hem of her shirt.
“That’s cool.” I shrug.
“Yeah. Well, my parents…they may not like that I have a male roommate.”
“Are you asking me to stay away from the apartment while they’re here?”
