I woke up with a bad headache, my head's spinning like a vinyl on gramophone. As far as I remember, I couldn't sleep at all last night. One of my two roommates was probably having hard sex, the girl moaned so loudly!
I was kinda jealous.. so I decided to drink wine at 5 in the morning and kept drinking till 7 am. I rubbed my eyes and checked my phone it's just 10 in the morning. I turned on the WiFi, texts from my friends flooded my messenger. I can't make myself reply to everyone when I'm not even feeling like living. I buried my head in my pillow and screamed. It will be difficult to deal with if my roommates heard it. I pulled myself together and got up. My bathrobe still lying on the floor in front of my mirror, I'll just pick it up later. Can't believe I was naked all night, thank god I didn't catch cold. I went to the washroom and washed up.
Not much time passed, it's just 10:43. I wore a robe and went to the kitchen to make breakfast. The apartment I'm living in has 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 1 living room, 1 kitchen; mainly for bachelors who live alone. My roommates were Joseph Smith, guitarist of well known singer Mona Martin and Lin Ai Qing, a chinese medicine doctor. Lin Ai Qing always left early in the morning for her pharmaceutical works and I've hardly seen Joseph at this time in the morning, so I kept my door wide open, no one's here to see my messy room.
When I walked in the kitchen I was caught by surprise. I saw Joseph cooking; he was poaching egg. That was unexpected. It was all okay, he stays here but why on earth is he shirtless!? I could tell he worked out a lot; his strong biceps and 6 pac abs showed it. I would've had a crush on him if I wasn't tired of "men". I know it's petty of me but after everything I've been through, I don't want to live with a man. I should say something, I can't just stand and wait here for him to leave.
"Good morning" I finally spoke up. It's kinda awkward we never talked before. Joseph slightly jumped from surprise, maybe he didn't notice I was here. He slowly said, "Good morning.." his cheeks were red. I tried to keep it short,"Can you tell me once you're done?" I chose my words properly, I can't make things awkward than it already is.
-"Almost done.."
Suddenly I heard a female voice calling Joseph from his room, it was a familiar voice. Joseph's face turned pale as if someone caught him from stealing. So he was the one who screwed the girl hard last night. Well yeah it was definitely him because Lin Ai Qing isn't that type of girl who would do it before marriage, she is very traditional. He took two plates and put toast and egg on each in the speed of light and rushed to his room.
Things you do to hide your lover. I carried on with my cooking.I took out the thin strips of chicken from refrigerator that I prepared last night when I was feeling alright.
I put it in a pan and let it fry while I prepared bread and egg. Later I poured a glass of juice and took my breakfast in my room. Things were still messy even though it's been a month since I got here. There were many boxes left to unbox. I cleaned my table and placed my meal on it to eat. It was quite good. At least better than day 1 of living alone. Suddenly there was sound of bed creaking, they were doing it again!? Wow. I continued eating my breakfast, it was less awkward than last night as I could feel they were trying to keep it down.. gotta give an applause to them for thinking about the singles.
I checked the time again, it's 12:00, I still had 30 minutes in my hand before I get ready so I decided to continue my novel. It's tough being an author whose books aren't famous. I've written 3 novels but because of some upper hand people, it was never officially published. But I won't stop no matter how much I'm called failure, writing is the only way I could divert my mind.
