Swiftpen123AUTHOR’S NOTE Dinner was served. But so were the lies, the smirks, and the heat. River’s guilt? Simmering. Taylor’s ego? Flaming. The onions? Sliced. The tension? DICED. If you think River’s secret will stay safe forever, think again. Taylor knows more than he’s letting on—and sweetheart, he plays the long game. Leave a comment if you love slow burns with a side of danger or if you want Taylor to keep calling her "sweetheart" (or threaten him to stop). Read the next chapter… if you dare. — Signed, Your knife-wielding-in-the-kitchen chaos author

My Roommate is a Boy ROOMMATES FOREVER.
RIVERMy fingers were itching to see what Taylor had written in his letter, but I waited until the seatbelt sign went off and the plane was not cruising at the altitude he intended for me to read it. I pulled it out with shaky hands and began to read each folded line with pain and subtle understanding. Each word felt like a tribute to a part of us that we lost during that ridiculous fight. He dated every time he penned down a few words. Every word he couldnt say because i was too busy trying to pay him back to even see how much he was hurtingIt felt like I was peering into his soul and a timeline or diary where he recorded every single emotion he felt and why he felt it. ‘I don't want to stand on stage if she won't be clapping for me.’ I read those words over and over again. I reached out to him across the armrest and intertwined our fingers. He was pretending to be engrossed in the flight magazine, but I could feel his trembling hands against mine and how he tried not to look up
My Roommate is a Boy TICKET TO FOREVER.
TAYLORThe wrap-up party was not a party like the team had expected. The director had a line of people who were ready to scout us, and I already had a few offers waiting for me after the vacation. River was eager and insisted that we spend the holidays getting ready for the auditions, so I did extremely well, and as much as I appreciated the gesture, I was not ready for that at all. “I don't want to spend my summer break working," I grumbled after her speech on why it was best for us to stay back and practise. "It's not working …" “I am going to spend the rest of my life working. I just want to spend fourteen days with you and you alone," I whispered and kissed her lips gently. She couldn't hide how much she was blushing and just hit me in the chest gently. “You don't get to do that." “I am going to live the rest of my life doing that." The house is a mess, with all of our things scattered on the floor in a mess. River had tried to convince me that she had it under control, but
My Roommate is a Boy ERA OF US.
RIVERThe high-end restaurant that Taylor's father had reserved. The kind that required you to have a membership to get in. Yet Noah and Hendrix stack three tables together and put chairs around them. I had never thought that I would find such a big family when I came to school here. I was sure I would be a nobody who would do well in school and give the valedictorian speech on graduation day, while thinking every other person who didn't have a good enough grade was just not good enough. I found friends, a family and even a super-perfect boyfriend. Taylor was seated between his mother and me, but still he couldn't take his eyes off his father, who was seated next to mine. My father was suddenly a chatterbox who knew quite a lot about Taylor and was ready to share with him. “I tell you the boy is a star," he bragged while taking a sip from his wine glass. At the end of the table, Elise and Hendrix are seated beside each other, engrossed in a more serious conversation than the on
My Roommate is a Boy THE END OF AN ERA
TAYLOR‘Super proud of you, Taylor! I would be watching from the crowd, Dad.’ River is still holding the card, and her mouth is slightly open as she looks at me. I swallowed the lump in my throat and tried to act as if it didn't matter, but she already looked worried. “I am sure he is just here to see your showcase," she said. It sounded like she was the one who needed the convincing because I could hear all of the things she wanted to say, but couldn't. "Yeah," I nodded. I wanted to tell her not to worry, but before I could even make a word out, a loud voice cut through the air. "We go live in ten minutes, people," the director shouted, and the frantic energy backstage intensified. The thought of my father’s words was suddenly replaced by the reality of having to step on stage in ten minutes. Everyone was moving faster because in ten minutes the play had to start. And like me, everyone was panicking in the best way they knew how to."Here," I held the brooch up to her face. “
My Roommate is a Boy FINAL SHOWCASE
RIVERThe semester flew by faster than I thought after the first two weeks of chaos were over. Vanessa didn't come back after her suspension. She ahhed and gloated that she was transferring abroad, but everyone knew she was too ashamed to face the rest of her team members, and the guarantee that they would ever welcome her back was slim, so she took the right path. I was seated in the front row while Taylor was on stage with the new lead – Sarah. She was the unproblematic and humble girl who took Vanessa's part. She was talented, and watching her with Taylor on stage didn't make me nervous. In fact, it made me feel secure to see that he was just acting with her. The emotions were real, and once again, I was seeing how good he was on stage. I was busy putting the final touches on our first draft. That semester had included Caleb and me spending late nights together. We had found other students who were interested in the topic and turned it into a funny study group project. Our pr
My Roommate is a Boy THE SHADOWS
RIVERThe hearing is silent, and Vanessa is suspended for a few weeks. Some students claim that the dean was being diplomatic because they couldn't deny her father's influence, even though they wanted to still act high and mighty for the public. So even though she originally deserved an advisory to withdraw, they were all playing it safe. I did not wish for her to leave school; I just wanted her to butt out of the situation. Mr Road and Vanessa are waiting for us by the door. Vanessa steps into our path with her hands crossed over her chest and a scowl on her face. “You think you have won? Is that the reason you are smiling so brightly?” she scoffed, her eyes red with fury. She is no longer screaming like she had done when the director announced she was going to have to step down from the leading role. It looked like she was plotting, but if she were wise enough, she would know it was pointless to try anything now. All would point to her if anything fishy were to happen. "Well,
