The Roomie Complex 117 - STRUGGLE
Cheryl 's POVThe days passed in a blur of lace, color palettes, and never-ending seating charts.The Baker family had thrown themselves entirely into wedding preparations—mine and Oliver’s—as well as the upcoming sports fundraiser. The mansion was a constant buzz of stylists, planners, florists, caterers, and family friends. Every corner seemed to echo with talk of the wedding: who was attending, what food was being served, which flowers would line the aisle, what shade of ivory best complimented my skin.And in the middle of it all—I was numb.The wedding dress had arrived last week. I had done the final fitting, and the tailor had cried because it was “so perfect.” Everyone else seemed to agree. The gown now sat neatly in my closet, draped in protective silk like a sacred relic. It was stunning. The kind of dress little girls dreamed about.But not once had I reached for it since.Not once had I run my fingers over the beading, imagined myself walking down the aisle in it. I couldn
The Roomie Complex 116 - PRETTY FACE
WARNING: +18 CONTENTCheryl’s POVWhen I opened the door and saw him standing there, it felt like I was seeing a ghost. Not because he looked pale or transparent—but because he belonged to a version of my life that I still craved for. A past I had buried deep and built fences around.Yet here he was.Aiden.And before I could think better of it, I grabbed him by the front of his shirt and yanked him into the room. The door clicked shut behind us, and I immediately locked it, spinning around to face him, my chest rising and falling.“Are you fucking crazy?” I whisper-yelled, shoving at his chest. “What the hell are you doing here? If Sabrina—”“Shhh,” he cut me off, pressing his palm gently to my mouth. His skin was warm. His voice softer. “Don’t worry about that right now. I just—I just wanted to see you.”I pulled away from his hand and scoffed, the sound bitter in my throat.“Right. Because you didn’t see me enough at the dinner table—oh wait, why were we having dinner again? To cel
The Roomie Complex 115 - BITTER TASTE
Cheryl’s POVI was still seated at the table when Aiden and Sabrina returned.The low hum of conversation at dinner had faded into white noise behind the loud thud of my heart. I watched them approach out of the corner of my eye, pretending to be focused on my nearly untouched crème brûlée. The clink of silverware on porcelain, the soft scrape of a chair being pulled back—then his presence filled the space across from me like a shadow creeping across the sun.He locked eyes with me.It was just for a second. Maybe even less. But it scorched. Something flared in my chest—heat, recognition, shame, longing. My throat clenched as if the very air had turned solid. I dropped my gaze instantly, praying no one else had noticed.That was when I saw it.A tiny red smear, barely there, at the corner of his mouth.Lipstick.Sabrina’s lipstick.My stomach dropped.I was an idiot. An absolute, delusional idiot to have believed—even for a second—that he’d meant any of what he said. That desperate lo
The Roomie Complex 114 - ANOTHER KISS?
Aiden's POVThe late evening sky brushed the horizon in muted lavender, draping our garden in pastel twilight. I led Sabrina across a narrow stone path, lined with carved statues and verdant hedges that hummed with the soft drone of lantern-lit cicadas. Roses climbed trellises overhead, their scent cloying and sweet—an intoxicating mask over nerves trembling just beneath my pulses.We’d slipped away from the formal dining room, leaving behind clinking glasses and strained conversation. I’d barely tasted anything. Food was no longer an option—or a distraction. All I could think about was Cheryl: her scared eyes that she kept from meeting mine, her refusal when I’d stopped her in the hall, her red dress scorched into my vision like a still-burning photograph.When Sabrina slid her hand into mine, it startled me. Her fingers curled around mine, warm and confident, as though this engagement, this partnership, was as real to her as the roses to our left.“You don’t want an early wedding ye
The Roomie Complex 113 - THREE WEEKS?
Cheryl's POVThe dining room was drenched in warm golden light, spilling from the ornate chandelier that hung like a jeweled spider above us. The long glass table gleamed, set with fine china and sparkling crystal. Everything looked expensive. Staged. Like something out of a magazine shoot for Power Families and Their Perfect Lies.I walked in on Oliver’s arm, every nerve in my body strung tight like a violin about to snap.Aiden and Sabrina were already seated, side by side. He pulled her chair out before sitting. Of course he did. He was always good at pretending. The way he rested his arm behind her chair. The way she leaned into it like she was born to fit there. It was all so performative, but the sting was still real.I took the seat across from him, deliberately, not because I wanted to sit opposite him—but because I couldn’t bear to sit next to him. If his shoulder brushed mine, I’d unravel completely.Oliver sat beside me, his hand resting too comfortably on my thigh under th
The Roomie Complex 112 - BLOOD RED
Cheryl's POVI spent the entire day rotting under my duvet, the glow of my phone screen burning into my retinas as I doom-scrolled past engagement rings, wedding decor, and curated couples in soft-filtered poses. I hadn’t eaten. I hadn’t moved. I couldn’t. I kept replaying Aiden holding Sabrina's hands as she announces their engagement for all of town to hear, I couldn't forget the instant shock I felt not after everything he had told me prior before.The thought of stepping outside this room made my stomach twist. But the thought of sitting through a dinner with them—with him—made it churn into something darker.My door rattled with a polite knock sometime before six. I rolled my eyes, shoved the phone under a pillow, and peeled myself off the bed.I didn’t have to guess who it was. Of course it was Sabrina.I opened the door and there she stood—wrapped in a silky robe that looked like it cost more than my entire closet, with plastic rollers neatly stacked in her hair like a crown.
