"It's fine. I'm sure I can help them find something to do until you get home."
He looked at me, his eyes widening in surprise. "You'd do that for me?"
"Why not? I should probably show them that we do something other than sit at home all day. They'd be bored to tears."
"Now you and I both know that even when we sit at home all day, we definitely aren't bored," he teased, a grin settling on his lips as he rubbed my thigh.
"Yeah, but I'm sure you wouldn't want them to know about that," I tossed back with a smirk. He nodded with a chuckle.
"You're right. Then they'll think something is going on between us," he mentioned. The innocent statement stung as I processed it. But he's right. You two aren't dating. I gave him a small smile and turned my attention back to the TV, trying to ignore the confusing feelings that I couldn't pinpoint. I felt disappointed, but really had no right to be. It wasn't like I told him how I felt and we weren't dating. I was just his roommate; that's it.
I looked at the clock and forced a yawn. "I'm kind of tired. I think I'm going to head to bed," I said, taking my legs off his lap. When I stood, he grabbed my hips and pulled me onto his lap.
"How tired are you?" he asked, nuzzling my neck.
I giggled. "What kind of question is that?"
"One I'm asking you for another reason," he murmured.
"Do you want something?" I purred.
"Maybe. But it depends on how tired you are."
"Depends on what you have for me."
"How about we go to your room and I show you?" he asked. For the first time in our arrangement, my heart and mind were conflicted. My mind agreed with my body, wanting to feel his touch and tongue on me, and his cock deep inside my core. But my heart was confused and tired of the cat and mouse game with nothing in return.
"Um...." I pondered as he kissed my neck.
"Um...." he mimicked in between kisses. I sighed and shook my head.
"Not tonight," I finally said. He looked up at me, his forehead creasing slightly.
"Something wrong?" he asked.
"No, not at all. Just kind of want to go to bed tonight," I said with a sheepish shrug. He nodded and kissed my forehead.
"No worries. I may be gone when you get up, but I'll see you tomorrow then. If my mom comes early, I'll call you. Is it okay if I send her here? I'll probably come by on my lunch break if she's here by then."
"Yeah, that's fine," I said and got off his lap. "Good night."
"Good night, sex kitten."

I jumped out of my sleep when my phone loudly vibrated on my nightstand the next morning. Rolling over with a groan, I grabbed my phone and answered it, closing my eyes again.
“Hello?” I said, still groggy.
“Aww, sorry to wake you up, sex kitten,” O’Shea’s deep voice said on the other end. His voice awakened my nerve endings, making my heart beat just a little bit faster. “I was calling to let you know that my mom just called and she's a few minutes from town. I gave her the address, so she should be there soon.”
I slowly sat up. “Shit. Okay then. I’ll get the apartment ready for them,” I mentioned, rubbing my eyes.
“You’re a lifesaver, Ash. I'll be back as soon as I can.”
“All right. Talk to you later,” I said and hung up. With a sigh, I dragged myself out of bed and into the bathroom, taking a quick shower before pulling on a pair of skinny jeans and a blue tank top. No sooner than I’d finished eating a bowl of cereal, a solid knock sounded from the front door. My heart quickened in my chest. I knew I'd have to meet his mother sooner than later, but I didn’t expect to have to face her alone.
“I’m sure it won’t be so bad,” I murmured to myself, leaving the kitchen and heading to the front door. Putting on my best smile, I opened the door, shocked to see a younger looking woman standing before me. She frowned when her chocolate brown eyes locked on me.
