Chapter 17 Obsessed With My Roommate 2 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Liam's POV
The school was still buzzing when I walked into the halls that morning, my fingers gripping the straps of my backpack even tighter as everyone turned to me, whispering amongst myself.
I had been here for three years and I was sure that not even one of them really knew I existedㅡ aside from the fact that I was Captain's roommate, I was pretty much invisible to them.
So, today? Today was something I had never experienced.
“Hey, Liam…” Todd, a jock and Noah's buddy came over, slinging his hand around my neck playfully and I thought I was going to die right there and then.
I was already a big subject to bullying when I first got here and I had only managed to remove my face from the spotlight but nowㅡ I was back into the spotlight I never wanted and I was sure they were going to beat the shit out of me.
“H…Hi…” I stuttered, pushing my glasses up my nose, my gaze to the floor as he pushed me through the throng of students.
He didn't say anything, just kept leading me through the hallways before he paused and let me go. “You're two minutes late, Nerd. Your Romeo is waiting for you.”
What?
I looked up, stunned when I realized we were at the Janitor's closet.
Confused, I turned back to Todd. “Iㅡ”
The door to the usually empty closet swung open and my throat dried as Noah leaned on the doorway, his gaze fixed on me. “You're late.”
I swear, I almost shit my pants right there as I just stared up at him. “I uh…bus and uhㅡ”
Noah didn't answer, just looked up at his buddy and nodded. “Thank you.”
Todd gave a mock salute. “You're welcome, Cap.”
And that was the last I heard before I was pulled into the closet and the door slammed shut behind me, making me jump slightly.
Oh god.
Fucking hell.
“Noahㅡ” I started but he didn't let me finish.
“What do you have to say?”
I paused. “What?”
“Jesus, Liam. I know you heard it. And I'm not even gonna hide it anymore. To answer the questions I know you have in your head… yes, I did write that letter. Yes, I do like you. Yes, I do wanna do all that with you.”
Each word only served to make my jaw drop and I struggled to close it. “Butㅡ”
“I… I couldn't tell anyone. I hung out with cool girls to distract myself and keep up that persona that everyone knows, especially when I first found out you were my roommate. And I thought everyone was gonna laugh at me if they found out.” He was pacing around now, gesturing slightly as he spoke. “Then you came out and I was like…really impressed. So, I did the same today because it's our final year and I'm not gonna pretend like I don't think about you.”
The whole place was silent and I just stared at him. Thenㅡ “and you thought a janitors closet was the right place to tell me?”
His expression didn't falter. Just still staring at me with a rawness I wasn't sure I had seen before. But holy shit, it was true. Noah Vale liked me. He fucking liked me.
“Probably not the best place but it was definitely the best place to do thisㅡ” Before I could process anything, he was cupping my face, his lips smashing against mine.
I froze for a second, my brain seeming to shut down. The kiss was nothing sweet or soft. It was like it was claiming, trying to make me his, trying to make up for lost time. And all I could think about as my head swirled was that he was a really good kisser.
He tasted just like I expectedㅡ mint, woodsy. Perfect.
Finally, he pulled away, his chest heaving and a confused expression crossing his face. “Fuck. That felt good…”
For a second, I couldn't say a word. Then I let out a short laugh, my heart racing in my chest. “Iㅡ uh…”
“Shut up…” He muttered, pressing his lips to mine again.
His lips moved faster against mine, skin moulding to mine and i groaned, feeling lightheaded as he pressed me up against the door, his larger frame towering over me.
I could feel my pants tighten embarrassingly and I knew he could feel it too because he was pressed up against me and he froze, pulling away, a crazed look in his eyes.
“That's notㅡ” I tried to play it off, my chest heaving.
He didn't say a word. Instead, he looked down at the obvious tent in my pants and his eyes glinted with something mischievous. “Wanna try something new, Nerd?”
Words escaped me. “What?”
He suddenly dropped to his knees, the sound heavy in the silent room. Holy shit.
He was looking up at me, his tongue darting out to wet his lips. “Don't say a word, Liam. I'm just starting with you. I have a whole list…” His fingers reached out for my belt buckle and I hissed, feeling his fingers brush against the front of my trouser.
