We were two weeks out from graduating and classes were over. I decided to move out of my dorm into the condo since there was no reason to be here. Most of my friends were doing the same. I packed my boxes and stacked them against the wall as I finished. This was my last night in this bed and room and I glanced around with a smile. I had good memories here as well as bad. I broke a couple hearts in this room and had some epic fights. I slept with Rosie for the first time here. I’d never forget that night as I dropped on the bed and closed my eyes.
There was a knock on my door and I opened my eyes. I stood and walked over, opening it carefully around the mess. Rosie stood there in a big sweatshirt and leggings and my mouth dropped open.
“What are you doing here?” I asked as I stepped aside to let her in.
“I guess it’s true.” Rosie murmured as she glanced at all the boxes. “I heard that you were moving and wanted to say… goodbye. I wanted to tell you good luck.” Her head dropped, and I moved towards her.
“I’m just going back to our home town. Dad made an offer, and I took it. I might be in law school in a year if everything goes well.” I grinned, and she nodded. “What about you? Are you going to head back home?”
Rosie looked stunned for a moment. She shook her head and licked her lips as she looked at me.
“Can I sit down?” She asked as I nodded. I watched as she took a deep breath before sitting on the bed. Damn it if she didn’t look good there. “I’m not going home. I’m moving to Texas with Vi. She’s got a cute apartment and a job there and I’ll find one too. I don’t want to be with my parents, Sterling.”
“I didn’t either. He pulled the rug out on me with this. I know that it has a shit load of strings attached but it’s worth a try.” I was reeling from her news. “Why Texas?”
“Why not? It’s time to start over.” She smiled sadly as she looked at me.
“Are they pissed off?” I asked, knowing that I was heartbroken. She shrugged.
“Yeah. They are.” I could see that something was eating away at her and moved to sit beside her. She moved her eyes away from my face and looked at the floor.
“What the hell is wrong with you? It’s all over your face and the way you’re sitting.” I told her as she closed her eyes/ “Is it the same thing that’s kept us apart this entire time?”
“There was no future with us, Sterling.” Rosie said slowly. “Ever.” She looked at me. “You’re moving home. Do you think that I’d actually be welcome?”
“Probably not.” I had to be truthful. “I’m not moving back home. I’m getting a condo for the time being. They’re handling the first part and I’m going to make payments on it. If I decide to move and go to law school, I can sell it and keep the money to use towards school. They’re fine with that. I don’t know what changed but something did.” Pain filled her eyes, and she nodded slowly.
“Makes sense. They are your family forever. My parents weren’t as forthcoming as yours, so I chose to leave.” I hated those words. I leaned in to kiss her, needing the taste of her mouth on mine. Rosie moaned in surprise, stilling before she kissed me back. We moved together with the same desperation and I pushed her back onto the bed.
We kissed heavily, but she fought my hands pulling up her shirt. I sensed her need in the kiss, but her hesitance confused me. I knew that sleeping together was stupid since I was leaving tomorrow, and she was going to move out of the state. Rosie pulled at my shirt and I lifted it, looking down at her for a moment.
“Rosie, do you want this?” I asked her as she looked at me with big eyes. She slipped her arms out of the sweatshirt and lifted it over her head, revealing a gray t-shirt underneath. I looked at her expanding breasts and blinked for a moment as she blushed. “Wow. You look different.”
CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE: Rosie
I felt my stomach twist as he looked over my body, knowing this was the moment of truth. I should have told him about Texas and wished him well. I should have left this room but being near him made my uncontrollable hormones flare up. It was terrible to be pregnant and single because they never stopped.
When he kissed me, I knew that I was done for. I was going to fuck the hell out of Sterling tonight for closure. I wasn’t showing too much apart from my breasts and maybe he wouldn’t understand what was going on.
