All Chapters of My Roommate is a Boy: Chapter 141 - Chapter 150

TAYLORI stood in place watching the movers do their job for a while. All of the furniture is high-end. Something like what my father would approve of. I was feeling angry about having Caleb near, yet I knew I was wrong for keeping the truth from River about the casting. I was lying to myself that this was protection, but I knew the truth. I was afraid of everything bursting open. She had to know about Vanessa from me, but I didn’t know when the right time was. When I could tell her without it being a problem. She was open with me about Caleb, yet I still couldn’t trust myself to do the same with her. “Great, Taylor, you are also a hypocrite,” I murmured to myself as I turned back to the house. My eyes caught the bag on the table. Was River not curious enough, or was this an attempt to spare my feelings? I knelt beside the festive paper bag and gently rifled through, pulling out a jar of expensive coffee beans. I knew that brand a little too well; it was the same one in my father

RIVERThe room is dusty and dark, with the spotlight on Taylor and Vanessa on stage. I stared at how close they were; my heart beat quicker than ever, and a surge of blood rushed through my veins. Taylor looked at her with so much professionalism, but the intensity was too much. It feels like the same one he uses when he looks at me, and my heart can't handle it any longer. Vanessa seemed to be milking this up; the stupid content smile on her face didn't fade for a second as she continued looking at him. It suddenly dawned on me that while I was worried about not offending him with Caleb, he was keeping this a secret from me and for no reason whatsoever. I licked my lips, ready to go, when the director’s voice kept me rooted. “Cut! Great work, guys; Taylor really loved the energy.” I couldn't run now without alerting everyone, so I gripped the nylon, ready to face him. He turned on stage, and as if it was planned, his eyes fell on me, and he froze. I mustered all of my group and

TAYLORThe house is quiet, too quiet. I walked up to River’s room and knocked once. I pressed my ear against the door for any form of movement or noise, but nothing came. I knocked once more before twisting the door handle and opening it. The coldness of the room hit me first, almost as if she had not slept in it last night. If I had not seen her get in then, I might have been convinced. I turned on my heel and walked to the kitchenette. There is a small note on the fridge held up by a kitchen magnet. ‘Left early for the lab’ Those were the only words she had a moment to scribble down before she left. I stared at her handwriting, wishing that she would give me just one chance to explain and make everything right. I received a message from the director. He had hired an intimacy coach to ensure all of our scenes are electrifying. I had no idea there was such a thing before now. I wanted to give it all up to save my relationship with River before it was too late, but I didn’t want

TAYLOR“Let’s do what's best for us.” River’s words linger after she is gone. I should have done something, said something, or even forced her to listen to me, but I couldn't. I didn't know the right things to do or say. I am sitting on my bed and listening to notification chimes from her room. The walls are thin enough to have a conversation through, yet I can't shake off the thought that she is talking with Caleb right now. She said I was the one who broke the rules. No secrets. I knew that, but I wanted to make it better, and I had no idea how I was supposed to be able to do that with her. “You broke one of our rules, and that means everything resets.” It was my rule, the one I wrote down because I wanted better things for us both, but it was the exact one I broke without thinking about it. I was staring at the script. I was supposed to be memorising my lines, but the pages turned up blank in my mind, and no string of words made sense.All the romantic lines sounded like poiso

TAYLORI am frozen in place, Vanessa’s hand looped in mine as I watch River walk away with Caleb chasing after her. I want to chase after her and explain it all, but the haunting voice of my father keeps me in place. Vanessa leans into my side, and it snaps me out of the daze I was in and pops me back to the reality of the cameraman assigned to follow us for the rest of the day. After the interview, they asked us to film our normal day. I tried to get separate crews for Vanessa and me, but she managed to convince them that since we were together almost all the time, it was okay for us to be filmed as an entity. “Come on, Taylor, give us that leading man energy.” I forced a smile, unsure if I was doing a good job. I was losing myself, and the only woman who made me want to be a better man was just because I was trying to prove a point to my father. Was it even worth it? With all of the people surrounding me, I had no choice but to slip back into my actor mode. The professors had c
