Bedroom Besties Novels & Stories

--- My roommate’s name was Chloe. She was from a small town three hours away, and she’d decorated her side of the room with fairy lights and photos of her golden retriever. She was the kind of person who smiled first and asked questions later, and within an hour of meeting her, she’d already invited me to a dorm floor meeting and promised to share her coffee maker. “You seem sad,” she said on the second night, sitting cross‑legged on her bed while I unpacked my books. “I’m not sad.”

“When does it stop hurting?” “When you are ready to move on,” Mom tells me softly. “When you let her go.” The furniture company knocks and I end the call. “Where is the best place to get comfortable bedding?” I ask the guys after the room is set up. “Department store or Pottery Barn,” The guy tells me as they leave. I call my friend Damien and his girlfriend, Jessica. “You need bedding for a guest room?” Jessica sounds excited. “I’m in!” “We have to take my car,” Damien laughs. “You are giving Jess a credit card and only a color to stick to, we are going to need my SUV and likely a trailer.”

Still, that doesn’t mean I don’t crave some space of my own. I don’t want to be the girl who hops between beds every night. If this is going to work, if I’m truly going to share a bond with four mates, then I need a room that’s mine. A space I can breathe in. Jaxon has already claimed the room he’s been sleeping in. I overheard him and Ryder talking about decorating themes yesterday. Apparently, a space theme and glow-in-the-dark stars are on the table. Eventually, sleep claimed me, deep and dreamless, and when I wake up I feel refreshed, like a whole new person.

she was saying. “That’s what she said..” Frankie coughed into his fist. Bridge stared at him. “That didn’t even make sense.” She told him. But I was fighting my smile. I caught Frankie’s eye and he winked at me. “Anywayyyyy. That will be the girls room. “ she said. “Ummmm..” Elijah started. “Sorry bud. But you gotta bunk with the guys.” She told him. The second biggest bedroom has two sets of bunk beds and a bathroom so Frankie Elijah and Oliver .. that’s yours. The last bedroom has a double bed so … brothers…. you get that one.

However, with Johan and Felix terrorising the living situation there, even moving up to Class D dormitory rooms was safer. If he remembered correctly, Party Freedom did quite well in the Treasure Hunt event and was awarded Class B rooms for every member. Jessica and Benjamin shared a room, so they had another spare room to offer the childhood friends. It might be unintentional, but Zen had a feeling that with the cohabitation, it wouldn’t be long before Joaquin and Elena became a couple.

The scent of cedarwood filled the air, mingling with something distinctly theirs—an intoxicating mix of pine, musk, and a hint of spice that seemed to cling to the room like a second skin. Small personal touches stood out here and there—a stack of books on the coffee table, a framed photo of the twins as boys with their father, and a set of weights tucked neatly in the corner. There was also one of them as very young children with a woman, whom I assumed was their mother. She was beautiful. "This is… cosy," I said, glancing around, a small smile tugging at my lips. Cole grinned as he led me toward the third bedroom. "We try," he said with a shrug. "We're simple guys."

“I have the best friends in the world.” “Group hug!” I yell, throwing my arms open. Squeals erupt as the girls pile onto me, shrieking and laughing as we stumble into a tangled mess of limbs, lace, and perfume. “This suite gives off luxury, rich ex-wife vibes,” Jenna says, flipping her hair like she’s in a shampoo commercial. “Can we talk about that bed?” Brianna points, her eyes wide. “You could fit an entire football team in it!” Amelia winks and replies, “Don’t tempt fate.”

Now all I have is memories of Mari instead of a future with her. Turning away from the bed, I lay Theo down in his crib. He immediately tucks his knees under him, butt up in the air, just like both girls used to do. It makes me smile. I wander back down the hallway and stop in the doorway of the girls' room. Their two twin beds are in the corner on perpendicular walls so their heads are together with a nightstand in between. Their small white dresser is on another wall. And of course, the giant doll house Myra got for Christmas last year.

He tells us all looking to the older kids “Colten and cara you can choose the first room but you guys will be next to the boys who will share, the babies will share, may and baylee will share a room then the adults get first choice of the bigger rooms” He tells everyone pointing to the first door “Although this is my perfect wifes bedroom” He whispers biting down on my ear, baylee and caden seeing this both gag “Ewe please take your leave so we don't need to watch” Caden snaps screwing up his nose “Don't mind if we do”
