Teach Me To Sin

"I don't get it," I tossed my phone on my bed and groaned in frustration, "He isn't replying my texts and he's not answering the phone either."

Nico, my college roommate and one of my best friends sighed as he spun himself around on the spinning chair placed next to the study desk.

"Dude, it's obvious that he's blowing you off and probably blowing on some other guy while he's at it"

I tossed a pillow at him and he laughed as it made contact with his face.

 "Don't say that" I scolded, "Julius likes me way too much to do any of that"

Nico shook his head and hugged the pillow. "You know you can do way better than him, right?"

Better than Julius? He was the golden boy of Heldon college and indisputably one of the wealthiest and most attractive guy on campus.

Not to mention how he touched me the way nobody else could. It was so easy for him to see through me and turn me on.

 So who exactly is supposed to be better than him? I could hardly think of any other person. Plus, I had feelings for him.

 "I don't know why you keep acting like he's the spawn of the devil. Julius is a good guy" I defended my boyfriend.

"I don't know many good guys who act the way he does. Has he decided to make your relationship official and open yet?"

"Not yet, but he...."

 "And he's blowing you off on top of all of it"

"These things take time, Nico. It's not exactly easy to come out of the closet. Plus, his folks are super strict and religious"

"I bet they are" Nico responded sarcastically.

"They actually are. He just doesn't want to get in trouble with them because of me. He's really a good guy if you take the time to know him"

 "I know Julius and he's an arrogant prick," he tossed the pillow at me and i caught it, "You, on the other hand need to get to meet new people. Who knows, you could meet a cute guy that doesn't hide you"

"Julius isn't hiding me"

"I bet you a thousand dollars that he is" I scoffed at him and rolled my eyes.

 "Get off my dick, Nico. You're not exactly the best at this love thing seeing as you and Rita still don't know what you are"

"Rita and I are a completely separate situation and you know that" I folded my arms.

"Yeah right. You've been in love with her for years and all you two do is make out. Hello, give it a tag already"

 "I want to. She's the one whose scared of commitment. Her sister's divorce did a number on her"

 "Was it that bad?"

 "Bad enough for her to never trust a word that comes out of a man's mouth"

 I sighed and lay back on one of the two large beds that was provided for Nico and I in our standardized dorm room.

Rita was a wonderful person and an even better friend.

 It sucked that she was not willing to take a shot at love especially with Nico.

He may be a tad annoying but he was a great guy with even better intentions.

"So what really happened?" I asked. He shrugged.

 "Don't know, man. Not my story to tell" I understood.
