Shit.

I took off my wet clothes that clung to my body and wrapped a towel around my waist. I threw them in the washer and jumped in the shower the hot water relaxing my body.

My thoughts drifted to the incident that occurred not too long ago. I clenched my jaw plotting my revenge.

It's so fucking on.

By the time I was in college I frantically looked for Ty. When I eventually found him I flung myself on him not caring. He stumbled a bit before he gained his composure and looked down at me smiling.

"Hey Andy," he beamed.

"I missed you and my roommate is a jackass." I said my voice muffled because my face was buried in his chest.

"He's not that bad."

I looked up at him and let him go. I frowned.

"Not that bad, he was listening to music loudly at 3 am and he poured a bucket of ice water on me this morning." I spat angrily. I was only met with a 'oh'

"I'll talk to him okay." I nodded. "Now let's get you to class I'll have lunch with you later." He smiled down at me and I gave him a small smile back.

I walked in the apartment filled with the unfamiliar smell of food. That kitchen hadn't been used since we moved in here. I sceptically made my way through the apartment to the kitchen. I was met with the sight of Nolan slaving away in the kitchen. He looked at me and smiled. I narrowed my eyes at him suspiciously. What was this guy planning.

"What are you doing?" I asked looking around at the mess his made. Used dishes in the sink waste on the kitchen counter. There was clatter everywhere, I cringed.

"I'm making dinner." He said matter-of-factly.

He got done and cleared everything up, thankfully, and placed a plate in the table and told me to sit. I looked at him then the food. Reluctantly sat but I didn't touch it. He sat across from me and snorted at my behaviour but I still didn't budge. I don't trust him one bit.

"Is this poisoned?" I asked narrowing my eyes at him making him laugh.

"And why would I do that?" He chuckled.

"I don't know, you're crazy." I shrugged.

"Well that maybe so, but I'm not gonna poison you," I sighed in relief picked up the spoon and shoved the food in my mouth. Until he added. "Not today anyway." I coughed. He laughed so hard he started crying. "Fuck I'm joking." He said between laughs wiping his tears. Asshole. I shoved him playfully and continued eating.

"How was your day princess?" Nolan asked after calming down.

"It was fine just some assignments nothing I can't handle." I answered my heart flattered at the stupid pet name. The fuck.

He hummed then proceeded to eat in silence.

"Nolan could you come here a sec I need your help with something." I called in the bathroom after I finish getting ready for bed.

He came in the bathroom and stood by the door looking around. I smiled at him but he didn't budge.

"Come in." I encouraged.

He took a step inside, clearly suspecting something was up.

"Come closer."

He took another step. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm not gonna bite." I smiled.

He chuckled and closed the distance between us. I grinned and placed my hands on his shoulders. He tensed up a bit before relaxing. What was that about.

"What did you need help with?" He asked.

I smiled and moved him so he was leaning his back on the sink. I leaned in and grabbed the baby powder off the counter behind his back making sure he doesn't see it. I ran my hand through his hair distracting him and he fell for it, he leaned in to my touch and I knew I had him where I wanted. I stood on my tippy toes and brushed my nose with his and he hummed in delight sending shivers down my spine. I shook the feeling off I had to focus. We looked eyes and I bit my lip trying to hide my smile. I raised the powder up and squeezed a generous amount on his head. He gasped when he felt it. I quickly took a step back and squeezed it on his face over and over again until he was covered in it. His black t-shirt and hair all turned white. He coughed trying to shake some off his face. I gasped and started laughing.

He glared at me with fire in his eyes his nose flaring. I threw the bottle in the sink and ran out of the bathroom laughing all the way into my bedroom and locked it. He banged on my door.

"ANDY GET YOU'RE ASS OUT HERE!"

I just laughed.

"YOU THINK THIS IS FUNNY?"

"Very." I said between laughs.

"WATCH YOUR BACK PRINCESS!"

With that I heard the door slam then water running. I laughed. I can't believe he actually fell for that.

After I stopped laughing I thought about how close we were. Why didn't he push me off? And why did I feel like kissing him when our nose brushed? And his smell... I shook my head and filed the thoughts under not important and it doesn't mean anything.

Next morning.

"How was your late night shower love?" I asked as I strolled in the living room feeling all kinds of smug. Nolan was lazily lounging on the couch watching tv shirtless. His tan skin looking all kinds of soft. I wonder how it would feel like if I ran my tongue...

No! Nope not gonna fucking happen snap out of it. Damn it what what's happening to me? I teared my eyes off him unwillingly and walked to the kitchen and poured some coffee in two cups. Maybe I'm just sleep deprived.

"You know what you're an idiot." He huffed angrily when I walked back to the living room handing him a cup. I didn't even notice I had done that till I placed the damn cup on the coffee table. Seriously what's wrong with me.

"I know, how else are you supposed to understand me." I smiled cockily.

"You're mother should have swallowed you." He slipped his coffee .

"Well at least my birth certificate is not an apology letter from the condom factory." I rolled my eyes. He got up towering over me. Why is he so tall? And why is it so hot! His scent had me suffocating my knees felt weak. I stood my ground though, sipping my coffee trying to hide my red cheeks.

"Is your ass jealous of the amount of shit that comes out of your mouth." He glared at me.

"Hold on," I pretended to think, "I'm still deciding whether I don't give a shit or whether I don't give a fuck." I sassed back.

"Asshole."

"Dickwad."

I finally looked up at him. Our eyes locked and he held my gaze. His eyes darked. My heart was trying to break free from my chest. It was suddenly hot and the atmosphere got tense. My eyes traveled to his full peach lips and I bit my lip subconsciously. I swallowed thickly. I started feeling a tightness around my pants. A ping on my phone seemed to bring us out of our trance.

I pushed passed him and sat on the couch turning the TV on. He stormed out and slammed his bedroom door.

What the hell was that!
__________

This would have been a perfect quiet day at home if it wasn't for Nolan's existence in my life. Why the hell does he feel the need to move around the house so much. Slamming doors and shit. After insulting eachother and that heated staring contest, he's been sulking like a fucking four year old. I can't roll my eyes enough. I kinda feel bad but at the same time he started it. How the fuck I'm I suppose to live with a guy who makes me wish he'd jump off a cliff and want to climb him like a tree at the same time.

Shit did I just say that?

There was a knock on the door that brought me back  from my thoughts. I got up and slowly made my way to the door opening it. My face lit up when I saw Ty standing there with take out in his hands. I jumped on him and he caught me hugging me tightly. Nolan cleared his throat giving me a pissed off look, I let go of Ty. What the hell was his problem, I just rolled my eyes at him and pulled Ty inside and placing him on the couch and sitting beside him.

"Hey Nolan." Ty greeted.

"Hey man." Nolan said walking to the kitchen. I thought he locked himself in the bedroom.

"Could you come here for a bit I think the three of us need to talk." Ty said.

Nolan lazily walked towards us and sat on the couch. Ty was in the middle of us. I knew what Ty was doing and was I willing to corperate. Maybe. Just anything to get this jackass off my back. He was annoying the shit out of me in the one place I needed to chill.

"Okay you guys need to get along. I mean you guys are gonna be living together for a while so all this hostility isn't doing any of you any good." Ty said looking back and forth between us. "I mean I expect better from you Nolan, you are really disappointing me right now," I chuckled, "and you too Andy. I thought you'd act at least with some civility. I taught you better."

I looked down at my hands that were resting on my thighs. I felt as if I was getting a lecture from my parents or something. I hated it. And I hated that he had a point, maybe I did push the guys buttons.

"I'm sorry Andy, I should have been more considerate and not played music that early in the morning, or poured a bucket of ice water on you." Nolan said looking all guilty. For a minute I thought he was any saying that because Ty was here but his voice was laced with guilt and eyes looked pleading. But hey, if he was willing to be the bigger man and apologies I didn't think it was fair to keep this stupid duel going. It was doing *ahem things to me.

"I'm sorry for the baby powder, and disconnecting the system. And insults." I said truthfully.

"I've got to admit those were really good, mostly the one about the condom factory," Nolan laughed, "that was genius by far my favourite."

"I know right I saw it on Pinterest the other day." I told Nolan chuckling.

"I wanna ask why you were looking at insults but at the same time I'm not sure I wanna know." Nolan said teasingly.

"Hey!" I said looking away. "I was bored." I mumbled. Nolan broke out in laughter.

"Well my job here is done." Ty said getting up to leave. I almost forgot he was here. Is that bad?

"Don't go, stay a bit." I said following him to the door.

"Can't, I have to pick up Lisa." Ty said shrugging.

I shrugged and hugged him goodbye. He walked out and I closed the door behind him sighing. I turned around to find Nolan watching me. I smiled nervously and sat next to him.

This was weird. I am so used to fighting with him the past few days not I don't know how to act around him.

"I'll get lunch started." Nolan said getting up and going to the kitchen.

"Can I help?" I asked following him sheepishly. Don't ask why I don't know either.

"That depends can you cook?" He crooked his brow.

"Well does making instant noodles count." I shrugged.

"No, but you can wash the vegetables and be my assistant." He smirked.

"Yes chef." I said making Nolan chuckle and shake his head. I liked that sound.

Shit.

By the time we finished cooking I had learnt so many things about Nolan I couldn't guess if you told me to. Like he doesn't have a family and his grandmother had taught him to cook when he was in highschool. She told him that she wanted to raise him to be responsible and healthy. She was his only family and had died two years ago. Nolan also writes romance stories online in his free time, that's his hobby aside from cooking. He also has two jobs he works in a cafe and does online marketing for Instagram businesses.

Overall he's really interesting and I think we could be good friends.
