Falling For My Roommate Chapter 2

Naturally, the thing I dreaded the most was the end of the semester, when the two of us would eventually go home and not see each other for a solid month. Thanksgiving break wouldn't be so bad, since that's only a week, but nonetheless it weighed on my mind as the weeks went by. About a week before Thanksgiving, I commented to Jesse, "It's gonna be hard to adjust to sleeping alone again."

She replied, "I suppose it will," with a noted lack of enthusiasm. I began wondering about this girl. Was there someone, or something, that she wasn't telling me about? Was there a reason why we only just kissed and didn't do a thing more?

Eventually, her comment faded out of my brain and I began to think happier thoughts, such as going home for a week and not having to do school work. We parted ways on Saturday with a long kiss in our room, although I had secretly hoped that she would have wanted more.

The drive home was rather uneventful, and that week was rather boring. My mom asked me if I had found a boyfriend at school, which I didn't. She was rather disappointed to hear this, but she knew just as well as I did how hard it would be to find a decent guy, especially one who would accept me for who and what I am. I refrained from telling her that I had a girlfriend, especially since I realized that the two of us were not as close as I thought.

With Thanksgiving came a two-person-size dinner, since my parents had divorced as soon as my dad had come out as being gay. This also meant that my brother Mike, who was also gay, wound up living with Dad. It was a rather bitter divorce, especially since Mike and I were moderately close and still talked to each other after the fact. I dare say she coped with it rather well. If only I could've coped that well with loneliness...

The trip back to school was one I almost didn't want to make, since I would be leaving Mom alone and would be going back to a person who I had seriously begun to doubt. When I got back to our dorm I noticed that she was already there and had begun the unpacking process.
