All Chapters of My (Delicious) Roommate : Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Johnny warned Joshua, more than once that afternoon, that his patience was hanging by a thread. That is, he purposely ignored the boy's warnings, whether out of ignorance or even arrogance.All he wanted to do was punch the man in the face, shout some truths in his face, hold his girlfriend's hand, and leave Alexandra's apartment.But Emanuele was too fragile, too shaken. And a fight at a moment like that could put everything at risk.Taking a deep breath, the man who had lost his best friend in the past, but was now trying to redeem himself with the chance that fate sent him, says as calmly as possible:"Joshua, I think that's crossing all boundaries."He ignores him. Johnny insists:"In this situation, with everything that is going on, do you still think that pushing Emanuele is a good idea? You're being selfish, to say the least."Perhaps there was still some remnant of conscience left in the brain taken over by Joshua's passion, as their eyes waver slightly upon hearing the boy's

Joshua was not a bastard.Not that anyone had even come close to saying that to him, but his relentless mind all the time implied that yes, he was.Emanuele was under his hosting for some time. He almost took the girl's virginity, and he only held back because he thought of the consequences, of what it could bring both to her and to him.And now that the girl with tanned skin and sparkling eyes was in fact dating, all Joshua wanted was to make sure that her feelings still existed.Yes, it was naughty. And a big one at that. But what could he do about it?After Alexandra's brother left, or rather, literally kicked out of the apartment, intriguing dreams took over his nights. He thought about her when he woke up, when he had coffee, and even on his way to work. How many times has Joshua been called out for daydreaming when teaching his students?At first, he tried to deny what was happening. Thinking like the mature adult that everyone said he was, the man purposely turned away from Em

The receptionist at the hospital is getting more and more bored. The few mothers who still bothered to choose that maternity hospital to have their children, a bunch of crazy ones, were mostly at home or waiting to be discharged.Needless to say, the few relatives who visited the new mothers barely stayed for the full visiting hours, preferring to leave half an hour earlier.Nobody liked to be there, that was a fact. Not even the employees. Whispers here and there were always about the scandals involving the names of doctors, nurses, and even the high ranking professionals; rich and haughty businessmen who laundered money left and right. Everyone in Laketown knew. It was impossible not to know.The name of that establishment was dirty, and there was no possible campaign that could clean up that huge stain within the clean white corridors. Not even after swearing together that all the corrupt people involved had already been arrested.Nobody, absolutely nobody believed that story.So

Emanuele does her best to keep a neutral expression and a placid face, but it is much easier said than done. Sitting at the kitchen table are not only Crimson, but also Joshua, as if the whole universe were conspiring against her.While the brunette makes a quick cup of coffee, her former roommate comments in the most casual way possible:"I like the new hair color. Did you decide to go back to your natural color?"Although she didn't want to admit it, it was nice to hear his voice and to count on his support in such a difficult moment. The smile that Emanuele opens is sincere as she replies:"Actually, my hair is not black, but rather dark brown. But yes, I wanted to give it a change in look and stay as casual as possible.""I see. Do you intend to dye your hair red again someday? I really liked seeing your hair that color."The compliment doesn't sound like an attempt at seduction or flirtation. Again she smiles, turning her back to him as she continues to prepare things."I don't

Emanuele is happy, or as happy as she can feel, to notice that all the confusion that ensued as soon as Johnny arrived in his own apartment is over.Not that it was easy to calm things down. It was Crimson who had been crucial in talking to the other two men, perhaps using an authority that was not his place, but still very welcome.Johnny had not exchanged a word with Emanuele, and even now, meeting with Amanda, Amora and Johnny, the boy avoided looking directly into her eyes. The deputy had already returned to his duties.The twins' apartment was spacious and comfortable, but Emanuele's anxiety and distress made the walls seem tighter and more threatening. It was after eight o'clock at night.Joshua looked worried, but the girl couldn't tell if it was due to the stressful situation she was in, or guilt for, once again, leaving Emanuele in a tight skirt when it came to her boyfriend. Just like Johnny, he reserved the right to remain quiet.After serving the orange juice with lemon, A
