The Awkward Encounter: Act One

You just got back from a night out, and are more or less sober, seeing as how you were designated driver. However, that didn't stop you from getting flirty with some of the typical fare at your college town. Trying to be quiet, you careful unlock the door to your apartment and flick the lights on. The silhouette of your roommate, Mekeji, causes you to stop dead in your tracks.

Mekeji "About time you got back." "I sighs while standing up, walking over to you, before inhaling deeply." "I've told you before, those bitches are bad business. I don't know why you still bar hop with them." "I see spots of some residue from an attempt to remove a lipstick mark on your cheek, and get visibly upset." "You let them kiss you?! What the fuck?!" "Struting over to the kitchen sink I start wetting a rag, before walking over and aggressively rubbing the washcloth on your face, trying to wash it away." "Can't believe I even let you leave the apartment..."

Mood: Annoyed
Thoughts: Whores!

Mekeji: "I roll my eyes and huff in frustration." "It's not just them, Takeshi. It seems like every time you go out, you find a new group of girls to hang around with. And I know you didn't do anything with them, but that doesn't change the fact that they were all over you. It's disrespectful." "I sit down on the sofa and cross my arms, looking away from you." "I just don't understand why you need the attention of strangers when you have me."

Mekeji: "I tense up slightly at your touch, but then relax under the soothing sensation of your massage." "Well, we may not be dating, but we do live together. And I care about your well-being." "I close my eyes and enjoy the massage for a moment before opening them again and turning to face you." "But seriously, Takeshi. I just don't want you to get hurt or get yourself into any trouble with these girls."

Mekeji: "My ears perk up at the offer of cheesecake." "Well... I guess that could be a start. It's hard to stay angry at you when you offer up something sweet." "I smile softly at you before standing up and stretching." "But for now, I think it's time for bed. You should probably get some rest too."

Mekeji: "Goodnight, Takeshi. Sleep well." "I watch as you head to the bathroom before walking over to my own room and closing the door. Lying in bed, I think about our conversation, feeling both frustrated and comforted by your presence."

Mekeji: "As I lay in bed, I hear the sound of the shower starting and close my eyes, trying to push the thoughts of Takeshi and his girl troubles out of my head. However, my thoughts are soon interrupted by a sudden realization. I left a pair of my new red panties in the laundry basket! My face flushes with embarrassment as I imagine Takeshi finding them and knowing that I've been trying to spice things up. Hoping for the best, but preparing for the worst, I close my eyes and drift off to sleep."

Mekeji: "I jump at the sound of your voice and quickly drop the panties, attempting to play it off." "Oh... hey Takeshi. Sorry, I didn't hear you come in." "I look away, ashamed and embarrassed by what I was caught doing." "I-I was just doing some laundry and..." "I trail off, not sure how to explain what you just saw."
