Fake Dating The Hockey Captain AKA My Roommate 136-
AURORA One, two, three, four...I count the muffled, repeated thuds of heavy dress shoes marching past my bedroom door, followed by the heavy clack-click of the doors opening and closing.My eyes snap open. The mid-morning sunlight filters through the curtains, burning straight into my eyes. It's too bright and way too harsh. I squint, gritting my teeth and shaking my head to clear the stubborn brain fog. I pull the heavy down duvet higher up over my shoulders.It’s been what? Six weeks since the whole saga blew up? Honest to God, I'm not even sure anymore... the days have a way of bleeding into one another like watercolor under a running tap. I just know that within those six weeks, a whole lot of things have shifted beneath my feet. Most for the better, a little part for the worst.For starters, I'm no longer staying in my university dorm room, nor am I staying at Jayden’s dorm. Neither are we living together at the Hockey House.Now, I live with my family.And by family, I mean..

JAYDENI stand near the base of the staircase, leaning back against the archway with my hands shoved into my pockets. Up on the second floor.Greta and Elena exchange a look that I can't understand. It looks like an inside look. I feel like they've come to an understanding because Greta nods and walks up the steps. A moment later, the doors open.Aurora walks down the landing first, carefully holding her wrapped forearm against her stomach, with Malia right on her heels. The difference in the air between them is night and day. The rigid posture Malia had held earlier is gone. There’s a quiet, shared understanding in the way they walk down the steps side-by-side.Both mothers step closer to the foot of the stairs, their faces strained."So..." Elena starts, her voice raspy from crying as she wrings her hands. "How was the talk?"Aurora looks over at Malia, smiling softly."It was... surprisingly productive.""Yeah," Malia agrees, crossing her arms and letting out a quiet huff. "Nobody

AURORAThe room is silent, until Malia rests her chin back on her knees and looks up at me with a crooked smile."So," she says, her tone lightening up. "Since we're apparently trapped in this hostage situation until further notice... what about tomorrow? Assuming they let us out before we starve to death."I blink at her. "Tomorrow?""Yeah, tomorrow," Malia says, rolling her eyes. "You, me, a date. We'll go get ice cream or hit up some ridiculous cafe downtown. A proper sister date. What do you think?"I can't help the faint smile that tugs at my lips. "I'm fine with that. Ice cream sounds amazing, actually."Malia stares at me for a beat, shaking her head. "Wow? Look at you! You're just so calm about all of this. It's like it doesn't even bother you that you suddenly have a twin sister! Do you have any idea how insane people are going to react when they see us out in public together? Everyone is going to be so confused and totally surprised!"I lean my head back against the cushion,

AURORA"Hey! Unlock this fucking door!" Malia screams, rushing forward and shaking the brass handle. "Mom! Elena! Let us out!""You'll get out when you two actually talk like sisters!" Elena's muffled voice shouts back through the wood. Footsteps recede down the hallway until total silence falls over the suite."Unbelievable!" Malia kicks the bottom of the door with her heel, letting out a frustrated scream. She spins around, as she locks her gaze onto me. "This is all your fault!"I sit down on the edge of the sofa, cradling my wrapped forearm. "My fault? How is this my fault?""Because everything was fine until you showed up!" Malia spat, pacing the length of the room. She crosses her arms tightly. "I had a life! I was the eldest daughter! My parents focused on me, my future, my whole existence! And then suddenly, out of nowhere, you pop up, and everybody acts like the lost princess has returned!""I told you I didn't ask for any of this...""Oh, shut up! Just shut up!" she shouts.

AURORA The gates of the estate slide open and Jayden park his car right out front. My hands won't stop shaking. Jayden reaches across the console, his fingers squeezing mine tight before he cuts the engine."I'm right behind you," he says. "You call the shots in there."When we step into the living room, the air feels thick enough to choke on.Everyone is already there. Greta is pacing near the marble fireplace, her hair slightly disheveled, a wine glass sitting half-empty on the mantel. And my mom... Elena... is sitting stiffly on the edge of the sectional sofa, wringing a tissue into shreds. And in the armchair across from her sits Malia.As soon as I shut the front door shuts, Greta snaps her head up. "Aurora...""Sit down," I say before she can take two steps toward me. My voice rings out, loud. "Sit down, Mom. Everyone sit. I said we were going to talk, so now you're all going to sit there and listen to me."Jayden stands near the archway, his hand tucked in his pockets, keepin

AURORA His lips brush over mine gently, mindful of the swollen edge of my split lip.When he pulls back, his eyes are heavy, searching mine in the dim glow of the patio lights."Still okay?" Jayden whispers against my skin, his hands cradling my waist under his heavy coat."Better than okay," I murmur, sliding my left hand up behind his neck, pulling his head back down to mine.This time, the restraint begins to fray. The kiss deepens. He tilts his head, slanting his mouth over mine. I shift closer, pressing myself flat against his chest, my left hand tangling in the hair at the nape of his neck.A sigh slips from my throat, immediately swallowed by him as his grip tightens around my waist, drawing me so flush against him that there isn't an inch of air left between us.I'm not even kidding when I say that every thought of Marcel, my family, and the stress waiting for us tomorrow simply evaporates. There’s only the consistent thrum of the lounge bass inside, the cold night air, and t
