“Look, mate,” he shrugged carelessly, “– it’s been fun and all – but really, it’s time you weren’t here you know,” Micah even looked at his watch and then cast a desperate glance back at the guy lounging on the sofa watching some crap on the TV, “I’ve got to go to work later.”
I tried my best to
concentrate on my work and to block out the voices of my flatmate, Micah and
his latest hook-up – I think his name was Paolo, but that could have been the
one he’d brought back the other night. They all looked the same... Hell, they
all sounded the same, if I’m honest –
all of them with their eyeliner and lip-gloss and overly tight skinny jeans and
flimsy vest tops and girlish giggles. That wasn’t the worst of it – the worst
of it was definitely the shrieking that he was the best lay they’d ever had
while he was servicing them in the bedroom – my room was right across the hall
and it was impossible not to hear everything...
Micah seemed to be
attracted to exactly the same type of guy every time. None of them were what
you’d call keepers and I thanked heaven for that – I’d have to move out if any one
of those guys moved in with him, a couple of nights a week of loud sex was
quite enough, thanks – if that was gonna happen all hours of the day and night
I’d have to find somewhere else to live or I’d never get any sleep – not to
mention the fact that I would feel eternally
inadequate...
I felt very
conspicuous sitting at the dining table with all my paperwork spread out around
me. Micah just didn’t have the sensitivity to bin the guys off privately and I
was dying inside for the little guy. I’d glanced up when Micah had started to
do his usual speech and I had to admit that the guy was really quite beautiful.
I looked back down at my work and tried my best to not listen – it had to be
mortifying for Paolo or whatever his name was to know I could hear every word...
I could still see
them in my peripheral vision and I just wanted to disappear – I hated these
awkward moments when it was so obvious to me that he’d had enough and just
wanted the guy to go. It was so harsh... and so damned rude...
Raife and Micah are housemates. Micah likes to 'entertain' while Raife is busy studying for his master's degree and doesn't really have time for dating seriously.
Micah has a different guy staying the night two or three times a week, while Raife can't remember the last time he had a boyfriend.
Raife believes in love and knows that he wants to find 'the one' while Micah believed in love once but had his hopes dashed and now firmly believes in having fun and moving on...
Raife never expected to fall for Micah and Micah certainly never thought someone like Raife would want a guy like him.
But they were wrong....This is the second book in the What If? Series. It is a standalone novel with no cliff hanger and a happy ever after finish...
