Roommates

Chapter 16

Cara P.O.V.

I let out a sigh of relief. I was so happy that I was back home in my apartment. Today was too exhausting for me. I took a long and hot shower just to relax. It felt good to be clean after being in that awful store. I quickly dressed and laid my towel around my neck as I cautiously stepped out of the bathroom. I hope that Amanda had left. I could not take another minute with her. Hannah was sitting on the sofa, looking at her phone.

"Is she gone?" I slowly approached the sofa.

"Yes, she's gone." Hannah glanced up at me with a smile. She looked relieved that her sister had left.

"Thank you." I looked toward the Heavens with an appreciative smile before I took a seat next to Hannah.

"Do you want to talk about what happened?" Hannah placed her phone down on the coffee table.

I wasn't sure if it was because I just got out of the shower and that is why I felt hot or because of what happened with Amanda. Just thinking about it made me feel embrassed. "Did Amanda say anything?"

"Not a lot. She said you guys saw Jack and you ran into a store to hide."

I nodded. I wonder if Amanda told her about the other stuff that happened. I really didn't want to bring it up. It made me cringe, just thinking about it. "No offense, but your sister kind of scares me."

"Yeah, she's a lot to handle," Hannah agreed.

"When I first met you, I expected you to be like her," I admitted.

"What!" Hannah turned toward me, completely shocked at my revelation.

"I just assumed models were like that," I said slowly.

"Like what?" She was leaning against her elbow as she watched me. "Wild? Parties a lot?" Her pink lips turned into an amused grin.

I nodded. "I'm glad I was wrong." It was a pleasant surprise. One that I was thankful for. I couldn't help but smile.

Hannah had her hair tied up in a bun and she was wearing one of the t-shirts I bought. She looked beautiful. Whoa Cara, what are you thinking?

"I exceeded your expectations then." Hannah nudged my arm playfully.

"Yeah," I chuckled. It felt so nice and comfortable like this. I didn't realize how wonderful it was to be with Hannah. It was a great difference compared to Amanda.

"Did... Amanda do anything to you?" Hannah spoke so softly that I almost didn't hear her.

I pulled the towel closer to my face. "I don't want to assume anything, but I think your sister might like me." I grimaced at my words. I hate assuming things like this because it is hard for me to read people. "She got a little too close and... I don't know what she was trying to do. She wanted to get close? Whatever that means. We were as close as two people could get."

Hannah's jaw was clenched as she waited for me to finish.

"I may be overthinking." She wasn't trying to kiss me right? She was... I don't know what she was trying to do. It's not like she liked me or anything, so why would she even try to kiss me? It didn't make any sense. I didn't realize I was tapping my foot until Hannah placed a hand on my knee to stop me.

My attention was completely taken by Hannah's hand.

"She was trying to...ugh..seduce you." Hannah slowly removed her hand from my knee when she realized where it was.

"Huh....why?" I stared at Hannah in confusion. "Is she into girls?"

"I...because I...I don't know," Hannah replied. "I'm sorry for the way she acted."
