About 4,148 characters (~758 words) — this is Chapter 1, one of 4 free chapters on EditWrx Reads.
My sexual orientation was accidentally exposed, and I heard my roommate, a jock named Blake, call me disgusting. Because of his words, my other roommates started to subtly isolate me.
Being someone who believes in an eye for an eye, I pretended to be a cute girl and started an online relationship with him. When the time was right, I sent him a photo of my abs, and before he could react, I blocked and deleted him.
But that night, he climbed into my bed, pressed down on me, his voice urgent: "Wifey, let me touch."
Me: "..."
* * *
Blake is a jock, a high jumper on the national team.
Recently, he sprained his ankle and has been resting in the dorm.
Coincidentally, during this time, I pretended to be a cute girl and took advantage of his boredom, finally establishing a relationship with him online.
[Baby, I'm going to dance practice now. See you tonight, mwah!] [Love you.jpg]
After sending this message, I carried my takeout into the dorm.
As soon as I walked in, I saw Blake holding his phone and sending a voice message: "Okay, wifey, see you tonight."
His voice was deep and pleasant, carrying a tenderness he usually lacked.
But the moment he let go of the phone screen...
Buzz.
The phone in my hand vibrated at the exact same time.
Me: "..." Mistake. I hadn't switched back to my main account yet.
The guy opposite me looked over, his sharp eyes sweeping across the room, looking a bit fierce.
Luckily, he's handsome, so the fierceness just looked cool.
Blake is six-foot-five, tall with long legs, and has an imposing presence.
I'm five-ten-and-three-quarters—rounded up, six feet—but with a slender build. Standing next to him, the contrast is stark.
His gaze suddenly fell on my hand.
Startled, I quickly picked up my phone, pretending a friend had messaged me, and even replied with a voice message: "Okay, I'll find you after class this afternoon."
In reality, I sent it to my main account.
I sat down at my desk, not greeting him. Our relationship was terrible.
But this guy had no self-awareness: "Logan, get me a glass of water, thanks!"
Actually, he could move, but seeing me ignore him, he deliberately ordered me around. Truly malicious.
But succumbing to his tyranny, I spinelessly stood up.
I got him a glass of water.
Damn my soft heart and cowardly guts.
He took the cup, staring straight at me: "Got a date this afternoon?"
"Yeah." I sat back down, replied coldly, and stopped talking.
Blake's gaze lingered on me strangely, making me very uncomfortable.
I really wanted to slam the table and shout: Looking at me when you have a wifey? Scumbag!
Speaking of which, I've been chatting with him online for over two months and only recently made it official.
After lunch, I took a nap.
He didn't make any noise, which was nice of him.
After class in the afternoon, I received a message from Blake.
[Wifey, what are you doing?] [Have you eaten? I'll order food for you.]
He even sent a red packet, which I didn't click.
The corners of my mouth curled up as I found a spot on the lawn to sit.
Princess Shen: [Just got out of class?] [Haven't eaten yet. Want to see hubby's abs.]
So, two minutes later, a photo of honey-colored, well-defined abs was sent over.
Under the sun, I shook my head slightly, feeling smug.
Hmph!
When Blake finds out later that the photos he sent were received by a guy, he'll probably vomit blood from anger, right?
But he quickly sent another message: [I want yours too.]
Actually, a lot of the time, he speaks in commands.
At first, I was unhappy, thinking he was pretentious, but later I realized that's just his personality. So with some guidance, he now knows how to call me "wifey."
I had sent him leg photos before to flirt, and now he wanted photos of me in a pretty dress.
But Blake has been in the dorm recently, so it's hard for me to take photos.
[Tomorrow, baby. I don't have a new dress yet, sob sob~]
Blake: [I'll buy one for you.] [Same address as before?]
I deliberately sent him the address of another university.
It's actually not far, but we haven't mentioned meeting up yet.
Blake isn't in deep enough yet. I need to work harder.
Before, when he and the other two roommates said I liked men and was disgusting...
I'm petty. I remember it.
