?Don?t do it Julia.?After a second, Julia pried her eyes away from the door and looked back at me where I sat on the couch next to her. ?Don?t do what?? she asked innocently averting her eyes again.?Don?t go throwing yourself at Jackson!? I said.To her credit, Julia didn?t bother playing ignorant again. It was obvious that she was into Jackson from how she always talked about him. She just stared back at the door through which Jackson had just left and sighed. ?I know.??Know what?? I scoffed. ?Know that it?s a violation of university housing contract to bang your roomie or that doing so is just an overall horrendous idea whether it?s against the rules or not???He?s not my roommate,? she argued. ?He?s my suitemate. We have different rooms and bathrooms and everything.??It?s still living with him. You share a living space and see him with bedhead and no shirt often enough that it would still be a disaster if things ended badly between you two.??You don?t know what it?s like!? She whined with a dramatic throw of her arms. ?You couldn?t sleep with anyone you lived with if you tried!?I didn?t try to argue. She was right. My roommate, Heather, and I were both straight, so she and I wouldn?t even be on each other?s radar, but the boys I shared a kitchen and living room with were no more accessible to me. Vincent was so enamored with his long-time girlfriend that he drove across the country at least once a month just to see her, so he was a no go even if he was my type. Eric, on the other hand, was totally my type and hot to boot.When I first met the boys on move-in day, I thought it would be hard not to get hung up on my new neighbor. Eric?s tussled black hair, blue eyes, and tall, toned body wrapped in fitted jeans and a black t-shirt had made me hyper-aware of how utterly unattractive I looked in that moment. For the first time in the two years that I had been attending that school, I regretted choosing comfort over looks when I put on my completely unflattering clothing I was wearing.But who thought about cute when they were gonna be driving seven hours then lugging heavy boxes up three flights of stairs?*Not that wearing cute clothes would have changed the fact that my long, curly black hair was in Ataşehir Escort (http://www.escortgirl.info/) a sloppy ponytail and the smell of car, sweat, and fast-food still clung to me from the*long drive from my parents' house.After I was finally done moving all of my stuff up to my new room, I had made quick work of showering and changing from my basketball shorts and baggy t-shirt and put on a nice summer dress in the hopes of making a better second impression.The four of us had opted to grab pizza to get to know each other and I learned quickly that Eric was more than just a pretty face and a hot body. He was also smart, passionate, talented, and successful. For god?s sake, he was already the owner of his own successful small business at just twenty-two! Who wouldn't find this guy totally doable?His boyfriend Gavin seemed to agree with me.On the up side, I wouldn?t be tempted to break the conditions of my housing contract. Right?On the downside, I still couldn?t help but drool over Eric even if, though he was totally my type, I didn?t even have the right parts to be his.I groaned to myself remembering all the times Eric didn?t bother to put a shirt on before wandering into the living area. All those chiseled ridges and edges that made up his hard abdomen and defined pecs made me want to lick him all over. I had to remind myself constantly that he?s not only taken, but gay.Julia laughed bringing me back to the present. ?Poor Lanie and her busted up gaydar. Remind me again how you couldn't tell Eric was gay? That man might as well wear a rainbow flag around. It?s so obvious he?s into men, though he?s a little less? struts and glitter than Gavin.??Shut it, Julia. You know I?ve never been good at noticing these things.??That?s true. Remember when you accidentally went on a date with that one girl and didn?t realize it until you had her tongue down your throat?? Julia?s words were becoming harder and harder to understand through her uncontrollable giggles, but I understood well enough to start getting annoyed.?I?m leaving,? I said standing to go.?You said you could have sworn that Eric was checking you out that first week too. Remember?? At that point, Julia was almost literally rolling on Ataşehir Escort Bayan (http://www.escortgirl.info/) the couch howling in laughter. ?And then you met Gavin and... ?I let the door to her room slam shut between us before she could finish. I stalked down the hall and let myself into my own dorm, still brooding with*embarrassment, until I crashed into something hard right in the doorway.?Woah there,? A deep voice crooned. ?Careful now.?I looked up to see Eric?s bright blue eyes staring down at me with mirth. I could feel my cheeks heating up, so I quickly looked down again.?Don?t do that,? he said, grabbing my chin and lifting my face until I looked up at him again. ?Watching your feet is how you got yourself into this situation.?It wasn?t until that moment that I realized my ?situation? of the moment included*me being pressed right up against the most infuriatingly unattainable guy on the planet. Awareness of where exactly his body touched mine raced to mind and I could feel my face, and a far more intimate part of me, burn even hotter.I was about to say something when a flamboyant cry came from behind Eric. ?Oh, Eric! Babe, did you find another little birdy for us to adopt??I looked over Eric?s shoulder to see Gavin lounging on the couch, a video game controller in his hands. He quickly sat up when he saw me.Eric looked over his shoulder too, ?Even better? he called. Then he looked back at me ?it?s a birthday birdy.??It?s your birthday?? Gavin cried. ?Why didn?t you tell us?? Then he jumped off the couch and sauntered over to where Eric and I stood in the doorway.Thankfully, it was then that Eric dropped my chin and stepped back a few feet to let his boyfriend get to me, and my body relaxed a bit from the stiff position stress, shock, and arousal had left me in.Gavin pushed past Eric in the tiny entry way and gave me a hug ?Happy birthday, Lanie. We simply must celebrate.??That?s why I didn?t tell you, Gav. I didn?t tell anyone. I didn?t want to celebrate.?Gavin leaned back to look at me, arms still wrapped around me ?Why ever not, dear? You and the day you came into this world certainly sound like reason enough to celebrate!??Yeah,? Eric chimed in. ?How old are you turning Escort Ataşehir (http://www.escortgirl.info/) anyway??I thought about lying, knowing that telling the truth would result in Gavin, and maybe even Eric, making an even bigger deal out of the day than they already were. Then I thought better of it. Even though Eric and I had only known each other for a few months at that*point, we were already really close friends and he knew me well. He?d know I was lying, so really, what was*the point??Twenty-one,? I grumbled under my breath.?Twenty-one!? Gavin exclaimed. ?And here I thought you were only nineteen. That?s probably for the best. Twenty is really only the hand job of birthdays anyway.?Then Gavin turned to Eric, ?You know what we need to do then. Don?t you??Eric smiled sympathetically at me when he saw my look of exhaustion, but he let Gavin prattle on about his elaborate plan anyway. He could tell that I was dreading the idea of getting all dressed up and going clubbing or bar hopping, and I?m sure I looked almost murderous when talk of a birthday tiara was brought up. It wasn?t until Gavin mentioned a male strip club that Eric finally stepped in.?Gav, maybe it would be better if we just stayed in tonight. We can present Delanie a selection of different ways to get drunk off her ass, and she can get wasted in the privacy and safety of her own home. Yeah??It was a compromise we could all agree on and a few hours later we were all drunk. Apparently, Gavin was more drunk than Eric or me because when he finally passed out on the couch and started snoring, we could both tell that he wasn?t going anywhere for the rest of the night.?Hey,? Eric said coming down to sit on the floor next to me after cleaning up most of the empty cups and food wrappers. ?You wanna just watch a movie now or something??I looked over at Gavin before looking back to Eric with a smile. ?I would. Lord knows I?m not tired, but I?d rather not sit on the floor, and it doesn?t look like Gavin is going to be giving us any space.??We can go in my room,? Eric suggested. ?Vince is out of town until Sunday night, and I?ve got more movies*on my laptop anyway.?I thought for a minute, my fuzzy, alcohol-addled brain taking longer than usual to think things through, then agreed.We both stood, me a little less steady than Eric, and went into his room.I?d been in there plenty of times before. My roommates and I had an open-door policy for the most part, but it felt different being in there with the lights off and the door closed so the movie didn?t bother Heather or Gavin.
