Roommates
Chapter One: Roomies
AN: Hey guys, I am back with a brand new fanfic. I had this one in mind for a real long time and I finally decided to pull the trigger on it. I know many of you are wondering if this will affect the upload rate of the other fanfics I am currently writing, but don't worry. I always upload one chapter for each fanfic before writing another chapter for another fanfic.
"I think that's the last box… that I am going to carry up the stairs. Stupid broken elevator, I knew we should've moved to that loft overlooking the city skyline." Freddie exclaimed to his friend as he placed the box on the floor before using it to rest upon.
"Grab that million dollars of yours and we'll go. Now get up and help me unpack." Robbie replied sarcastically, before turning around and unpacking a bag. The brunette boy rolled his eyes and slowly got up from the box before laughing a little.
The curly haired boy turned around and noticed his friend staring at him while also trying to suppress laughter. "Okay, why are you looking at me like that?" Robbie questioned, examining himself, "Did Sam put another 'Hit me' sign on my back?"
"No, no, no, of course not." The brunette boy replied casually as he stood up and began unpacking one of the boxes. He noticed his friend still staring at him so he simply sighed, "You and I are bros Robbie, and I'm not lying to you."
"Are you sure?" He questioned sceptically as he tried to analyze the face of his 'bro'.
"I can't believe you are questioning the sanctity of our bro-ship by doubting my word." Freddie exclaimed a little disappointed, "Do you really think I would do anything to harm that bond of ours."
"Never mind… and please never call our friendship a bro-ship again." He replied, going back to unpacking as the loft door swung open.
"Sup tech stooges!" Sam exclaimed as she walked in with Cat and Jade carrying boxes. The two males greeted the trio dully as they placed the remaining boxes on the hardwood floor. The blonde blew a sigh of relief as she took a seat on the countertop. "So what goes on?"
"Nothing much." The curly haired boy replied as he began placing plates in the cabinets. His eyebrows furrowed a little bit as he realized something, "Hey wait a minute. How'd you guys get up here so fast?"
"The elevator, duh!" The blonde replied, flicking Robbie on the forehead playfully before hopping off the counter.
"But I thought it broke down." Freddie exclaimed, placing the other kitchen items where they belonged, "When we went the landlord said it wasn't working."
"Turns out, he just doesn't like you two." Jade replied a smirk playing on her face, "He was mumbling angrily about a bow or something you two did when we walked into the lobby."
"I knew you shouldn't have greeted him with a bow!" The brunette boy replied annoyed to Robbie.
"Okay, for your information, a bow is a traditional sign of respect in Japan. How was I supposed to know he wasn't from there?!" Robbie exclaimed, trying to justify his actions.
"Well now he hates us." Freddie replied as Robbie stuck out his tongue.
"It's okay Freddie." The redhead replied, wrapping her arms around his neck. "I don't hate you." The brunette boy simply smirked as he gave his girlfriend a kiss. The rest of the group groaned as Sam and Jade tossed pillows at the couple. Cat simply rolled her eyes as she let go of her boyfriend and continued to unpack.
"Get a room next time!" Jade called out as the couple rolled their eyes. She stared at Robbie before chuckling. The green streaked girl made her way towards him as he was busy unpacking. "Hey Robbie." He turned around and noticed that she was giving him a strange look.
"Uh, hey Jade… what's up?" He asked slowly, wondering why she was staring at him like that.
"You've got something on your back. Here let me get it for you." She noted, turning him around.
"Oh- uh, Thanks Jade." Robbie replied grateful, "You're a true fr- AHHH MOTHERFUNKER!"
"WHAT WAS THAT FOR?" He asked, rubbing his back before feeling something stuck to him. He blew out an angry breath before ripping off the 'Hit me' sign on him. "Really Freddie, what happened to not harming our bro-ship?"
"I knew you liked the name bro-ship." He exclaimed, laughing. The curly haired boy glared at him as Freddie explained, "Look you asked me if Sam placed the sign on you and I wasn't lying, she didn't."
"You stuck it on me didn't you?" Robbie exclaimed, feeling dumb for falling for the same trick again, "I should have known that you weren't giving me a pat on the back to make me feel better over my heartbreaking breakup."
"Oh would you please get over Tori, Robbie!" Sam groaned, rolling her eyes, "You guys weren't working out."
"We may not be working out, but WE ARE working together." He cried out, "Do you know how hard it is to have a cubicle right next to hers and to see her face every time I look up? I mean can you imagine the awkwardness when we both look at each other at the same time!"
"Well it can't be that bad looking at her all day; I mean even I will admit she is pretty judging by the pictures you've showed us." Jade noted before questioning, "Or you've just gotten pretty good at using Photoshop since your college days."
"Like Kelly Princeton from dorm days?" Freddie remembered before wincing a little in disgust, "I still can't believe that you that photo shopped her face onto a por-"
"Ha ha ha. I don't have that anymore." Robbie stated sarcastically as the group got a good chuckle from teasing him. The curly haired boy sighed as he plopped down on the sofa, "What do I do guys? I mean I think my confusion all started when we first met. For some reason, I found being afraid of her to be sexy. Kind of like a lion, preying upon a wounded gazelle. Don't you guys get that kind of vibe from looking at her?"
The group stared at each other, no one really knowing how to answer his question. Instead the trio all dispersed from the room, claiming that they had to unpack and set up their bedrooms. Robbie simply groaned as he pulled out his phone. He looked around making sure no one was in sight before opening the image of Kelly.
"I knew you still had it! You owe me ten bucks Sam!" Freddie called out as Robbie dropped his phone in embarrassment. He quickly picked it up and tapped the trash icon on the corner of the screen. He read 'Are you sure you want to delete?' over and over again before finding some courage and tapping yes.
"New place, fresh start." He mumbled to himself as he grabbed a box filled with his belongings and made his way towards his room.
"Do we really need to unpack everything right now?" Freddie moaned as he watched his girlfriend unload her piles of clothing. The redhead simply rolled her eyes as she took a seat on the edge of the bed where he laid.
"I just want to get it over with. Then maybe we can grab some dinner later. I saw a really nice place down the street and figured we could check it out. Or we could go to the club we all hang out all the time." She explained, giving a list of possible options.
"Clubbing sounds cool." The brunette boy simply noted as he inched his lips closer to hers. He was a breath away from kissing her before Cat pulled back and gave him a teasing smile.
"Only boyfriends that help unpack get that." She teased as she got up and began hanging some clothes. Freddie chuckled a little as he rolled out bed knowing how easily her resistance could be broken down. He wrapped his arms around her waist from behind before giving her tiny kisses on her neck and collarbone.
"Freddie… stop… I-" Cat whispered in between breaths. Her breathing became shaky from the electricity being sent down on her spine.
"Love it?" He teased, finishing her sentence. The redhead simply nodded weakly as the brunette boy chuckled and continued to lay small kisses before pulling the strap of her tank top down. Cat simply closed her eyes in lust as Freddie laid her on the bed and continued to inch his was down her body.
"We… are… never… going to finish unpa-ah." She mumbled before she inhaled sharply from the contact of Freddie's lips on her bare chest.
"You were saying?" The brunette boy whispered as he looked at her.
"Just shut up and come here." She stated impatiently, pulling him into a deep kiss not being able to hold in her lust any longer.
"Looks like you don't want to unpack anymore." He mumbled into the kiss, smiling at how easy that turned out to be.
"You've got to be kidding me!" Sam exclaimed slightly disgusted, "We just moved in and they are already going at it!"
"At least it's not as loud as they can be at times." Jade pointed out as the pair looked at each other and shuddered. They could hear the sound of the headboard hitting against the wall before finally stopping after ten minutes or so.
"It's about time! I was starting to think that I would need to hose those two down to get them to stop sucking each other's gums." The blonde noted as Jade simply shook her head as the pair shuddered a little from the thought.
"How on Earth did you get the room next to them?" The pale brunette asked much to the confusion of the blonde. She simply shrugged her shoulders not being able to answer the simple yet challenging question.
"You know, now that I think about it, maybe I can switch with Robbie." Sam noted rubbing her chin in intrigue.
"Yeah… Good luck with that Puckett." Jade noted, giving her a pat on the back and walking out of the blonde's bedroom. She stepped out before she snapped her fingers in remembrance, "By the way, don't forget about the party tonight!"
"Club, drinks, cute guys. Did you really think I would forget about the three things I live for in life?" Sam asked, pretending to be offended by her remarks.
"I just want us all to celebrate our new place." She replied casually.
"By celebrate, you mean getting it on in the backroom with that cute bartender friend of yours?" The blonde responded, giving her a teasing grin. Jade blushed a little before simply shaking her head.
"Beck's just a friend." She explained as casually as she could. The pale brunette and her friend stared at each other for a minute before the blonde chuckled.
"Whatever you say." Sam replied, winking and slowly closing the door of her room on her. The blonde laughed when she heard Jade sigh a little as she turned around to look at her living space.
With a sigh of relief she dived onto her bed before she caught site of a box of papers. The blonde groaned realizing it was the set of routines she had to learn for her next dance rehearsal. Sam had somehow managed to land a role as one of the lead dancers for a popular play. The plot was mind bogglingly stupid in her opinion, but it paid the rent and added some dance experience which she badly needed. Other dancers had tons more experience compared to her and the blonde knew it was time to step up her game. The blonde skimmed through the various instructions before placing them back in the box as she got up and looked for a dress to wear tonight.
'Cause you are the piece of me I wish I didn't need
Chasing relentlessly, still fight and I don't know why
If our love is tragedy, why are you my remedy?
If our love's insanity, why are you my clarity?
"I don't think I've ever seen this place as packed as it is today." Jade exclaimed over the blaring music. She looked around and noticed all of her friends… well most of them having a good time. Freddie and Cat were dancing wildly together, Sam was busying hitting it up with some guy, and she herself was having fun hanging out with Beck. Then there was Robbie. The curly haired boy was sitting alone on a bar stool simply sipping a drink as he looked at his watch every so often.
"I'll be right back Beck." The pale brunette noted as she walked towards her friend. "Is this seat taken?" Robbie looked at the brunette before smiling and shaking his head. Jade took a seat as Robbie ordered them each a drink.
"Why are you here Jade?" Robbie asked, tapping the bar countertop.
"You don't like my company?" She questioned in a joking manner.
The curly haired boy chuckled, "It's not that, but I think you should hang out with Beck. He seems to really like you."
"We're just friends." She noted, shrugging her shoulders. Robbie nodded before taking the two drinks Jade ordered and giving them to her.
"Take these and go make your move then." He noted, giving her a reassuring smile.
"But what about you?" Jade questioned, "I'm not leaving you here by yourself."
Robbie simply laughed, "I'm not alone. Claire just went to the restroom."
"Claire?" Jade asked, before laughing as well. She gave him a friendly punch on the shoulder, "Look at you moving on. Well I leave you to her then. Have fun. Thanks for the drinks by the way."
"No problem. Knock him out Tiger" He exclaimed as he watched the pale brunette disappear through the crowd. The curly haired boy waited a minute before dialling a number and finding a quiet place, "Hey, Tori. Can we talk?"
"So what do you do exactly Brad?" The blonde asked as she took a sip of her beer. Sam had met him when she noticed him stealing glances at her. He finally had the guts to walk up and say hi and they had been hitting if off since then.
"I'm a film student." He simply replied, "Was going to be a dentist, but I'm glad I escaped that horror show."
Sam nodded and asked, "So you're planning on being an actor?"
"Director." Brad corrected, sipping his drink, "Or producer. Whichever sounds better to you?"
The blonde simply laughed, "Billionaire sounds better to me." The brunette boy laughed as the pair locked eyes.
"There you are Brad." A voice called out, interrupting their moment. The pair turned to see a girl standing in front of them. Sam analyzed the girl and noticed her silky hair and petite figure.
"Hey Isabel." The brunette boy responded as he got up. He noticed the two girls looking at each other and cleared his throat, "Sam, I'd like you to meet Isabel Smith. Isabel this is Sam Puckett."
"Nice to meet you." The blonde nodded as she took another sip of her drink watching the pair exchanging mixed signals to each other.
Isabel glared at the blonde before pressing her lips on the boy. Sam watched awkwardly as Brad managed to break free. The brunette smirked and exclaimed, "I thought we were headed back to your place?"
Brad's eyes popped open a little as he scratched the back of his head. He stood there for a second before snapping his fingers, "You know, I think I left my coat by the bar. Can you grab it for me?"
"Sure." Isabel responded as she turned around and walked away. Brad watched her go before turning to Sam.
"RUN!" He whispered loudly, grabbing her hand. The blonde looked at him in confusion not knowing what to do, but decided to do what he said. The pair bolted out of the club. Once Brad felt they were far away from the club he let go of the blonde's hand.
"What the hell are you doing?" She whispered loudly, "Why are you running from your girlfriend?"
"She is not my girlfriend!" He exclaimed, "Isabel is crazy I tell you. CRAZY!"
"How crazy?"
"For Halloween she dressed up as ME!" Brad exclaimed much to the astonishment of the blonde, "Do you have ANY idea how weird it was to be kissed forcefully by a clone of me?"
"Halloween was ages ago." Sam pointed out, "Why didn't you just dump her?"
The brunette boy laughed hysterically and scratched the back of his neck, "Oh I did! In every way you can think of. She just keeps following me."
"You know you just can't keep running from her." Sam also pointed out.
Brad nodded disappointedly before they heard Isabel call out his name. His eyes popped open as he looked at the blonde, "How about now?"
"Hell yeah. RUN!" Sam agreed as the pair ran away.
The entire group relaxed in the rec room of their loft after a long night of partying and running… well more so on Sam's part.
"I can't believe you guys danced the entire time we were there." Jade exclaimed looking at Freddie and Cat, "Don't you get tired? I know I did just watching you two for so long."
The couple looked at each other and smile as Cat cuddled closer to Freddie. The brunette boy instead changed the topic, "What you Jadelyn? I saw those two shot glasses you were carrying towards Beck. I know that wasn't the only thing you guys shared tonight."
The pale brunette blushed as she directed the attention of the group towards Sam, "Well at least I didn't run a marathon around Los Angeles."
"It's better than being devoured by some psychopath." Sam exclaimed as the group laughed. She looked towards Robbie, "What about you Robster? What did you do?"
"Eh… nothing." He noted, trying to wave off the attention he was receiving, "Just had a few drinks is all." Jade raised her pierced eyebrow as she looked at him curiously.
"What about Claire?" She asked, confused by his behaviour.
"Claire?" Cat asked intrigued as well, "You mean you moved on from Tori."
"Way to go bro." Freddie clapped before speaking in a deep voice, "Score one for Master Chief."
"About time if you ask me." Sam exclaimed, "I was starting to think that you were going to be moping around the loft eating ice cream and watching chick flicks all day."
"Okay just for the record, The Notebook was epic; just ask Freddie he watched it with me!" He exclaimed as the group looked at each other before bursting into laughter aside from Freddie who smacked his forehead from Robbie selling them out.
"That was one time!" Freddie tried to explain.
"Sure." Sam teased as Jade exclaimed, "Oh come on Sam stop teasing them. " The two boys looked at each other in surprise, considering they never held back from teasing Jade.
"But we're just getting started." Cat pleaded.
"I don't think we can stop now, it's way too hard." Sam added on.
"I'm not telling you it is going to be easy, I'm telling you it's going to be worth it." Jade exclaimed as the girls looked at each other and began laughing even harder than before.
"OH MY GOD!" Robbie and Freddie groaned, both of them collapsing on the couch as they each used a pillow to cover their faces. This was going to be a long night; though Robbie was happy he dodged that conversation for now.
