Faking Forever With My Hockey Roommate Chapter 41
Nikolai's povForcing my head to think straight and properly after that night was terrible. First, I thought I had to keep my mind blank from any thoughts that would lead to Zaria but it only got worse when I thought it was working, only for people to ask me about her.Especially Coach.The question first came out like he didn't care until it landed on a spot that I wasn't expecting at all and I felt triggered instantly.“Niko!” He slapped her hand on my back, it was enough to shake my thoughts to a rough start instantly. “How's our little superstar?” I laughed nervously, straightening myself and trying to keep a healthy distance between me and him. “Doing what's best, if that's what you were hoping to hear from me.” There was a brief delay in his face before he let out a maniac laugh that didn't land so well with me. “Right, right. Ready to get this game right? We have some…” He pointed to some guys dressed in suits behind us. “Some professionals who'd like to interview you about y

Zaria's pov The first ray of light that had hit me was the type that had you spinning and rolling from your bed down to the bathroom floor, throwing up like crazy.Out of my mouth came out every taste of wine I had drowned the previous night, a nauseous feeling sat in my stomach and what followed next was rumbling.I was hungry.I forced myself up to my feet as I bent my face over the sink and watched my face and mouth clean, then I took a long shower. When I got out, my dress was sitting on a chair and my heels were already in their stations.I scratched my head, trying to remember how I was able to take them off. “I mean, I didn't sleep with them on, so how did they come off?” I changed into another cloth and made my way to the living to find Nikolai stirring eggs in the kitchen shirtless. I had stared for more than enough time that he caught me right in the act.“Staring now? Come on, there's no shame in admitting it.” He teased, waving the spatula in my face. I waved him off, p

NikolaiWatching Zaria ace the interview was something. I would've taken pride in the fact that it was our fake religion that made her get it, but when she shoved that email in my face, I saw more than someone who was just qualified.She really was overqualified for the job and still deserved it more than anyone else and I saw the reason why.I stood by the table, watching her and Valeria talk like they had known each other for a really long time. It was adorable and I had to admit, I was a little jealous, just a little bit.After she was done, she came to meet me by the entrance. Her smile from earlier had grown wider this time.“Someone's all smiley and happy about her new job.” I teased, nudging her. “At least you'll be leaving me some peace in the house.” I added that last part to see the look on her and it was definitely worth it.She rolled her eyes at me. “Oh please, you say it like you don't make the most noise whenever you get the chance to.” From the entrance, she led me bac

Zaria's pov What Nikolai didn't tell me was at the party, I was going to be made to greet everyone else there. Everyone who had a hand in the government or whatever they were really into.I didn't think it was going to be more than greasing cheeks together and flashing fake smiles all over the place at this point. Nikolai tangled my arm with his as he smiled his way through the crowd. Seeing the old ladies easily getting swooned by him made my skin itch. Who even thinks the jerk was worth it? “Hey, keep a smiling face for the invisible camera…” He whispered as he gritted his teeth together, keeping a fake smile that could still be mistaken as charming.I tried smiling, it worked until my cheeks began to hurt and I couldn't hold them in anymore. “I can't believe you brought me here to keep my cheeks standing for a couple of old money folks who care about nothing but getting pleased by you.” My arm was starting to ache but Nikolai won't let me take it down.He led me to a corner tha

Zaria’s povJust as he had promised, Nikolai had a dress set and ready for me. It was the type that you'd put on and try resisting going on a runway with it. Nikolai made absolutely sure of that.I watched him drop the box on the couch as he waited for me to fully recognize what it was. “Nikolai?” I stretched as I got examined the dress, resisting the urge to tear a scream through my lungs when I lifted it out of the box. “I didn't ask you to get me a million-dollar dress. Look at this!” I gasped.The glitter shimmered on both sides of the burgundy dress, I could literally hear it sing in my ear. How on earth was this man able to get exactly what I wanted.He smirked, rubbing his palms in a style that seemed shady but amusing. “Told you I was going to get something to wow the media. Plus, I need you to step out in style, if they are going to talk about something, it needs to be glamorous. See what I did there, huh?”I let out a huff, ignoring his cheeky smile. “Yeah, I did. So when i

CALLUM'S POVI sat back against the headboard, staring blankly at the wall.“What the hell?” I whispered under my breath in genuine confusion.But even though she wasn't fully right…I had found myself thinking about Zaria a few times over the week.Nothing deep, just random thoughts here and there…wondering what she was up to.And yes, I'd convinced myself it had nothing to do with her new relationship…even though my thoughts about her business had started in earnest after I saw their picture while doomscrolling at work.For four years, I had convinced myself that Zaria was too small for me, too needy and ordinary, too comfortable. I told myself that picking Ashley, someone with the right pedigree, the right connections, the right tax bracket, was just smart math. It was an upgrade. She was savvier, cooler…sexier.But now, I wasn't so sure. And Ashley's nagging tonight wasn't helping.Actually, she was kind of exhausting. Everything with her was a performance, a transaction, a status
