Emily started laughing again. "No, not at all."
Chapter 5
I just finished moving the rest of my bathroom stuff to my bedroom when I heard a knock on the door. My heart was beating fast. I glanced in the mirror. I was wearing my nicest pushup bra with a low cut tank top and a pair of jean shorts. Maybe I could change Rory's opinion of me. I didn't really want that stupid pact.
A few seconds later I opened the door. Rory was holding a large box and his two friends were hidden behind boxes of their own.
"Hey," Rory said as he made his way into the apartment. He put the box down in the middle of the living room floor. "Keira, this is Connor and Jackson." He gestured to his two friends.
"Hey," Connor said. "Rory, you didn't tell me that your new roommate was smoking hot."
I could feel myself blushing. "Do you guys need help with anything? I cleared space for you in the kitchen and bathroom cabinets."
"We have a lot to bring up. Maybe you could help me unpack?" Rory asked.
"Sure, of course."
I walked over to the boxes and sat down. I pulled the tape off the first one and opened it up. It was full of boxers. I lifted up a pair. A box of condoms was underneath of it. A huge box. Does he buy them in bulk? Who needs this many condoms?
Rory cleared his throat.
Shit. I threw the boxers down on top of the box of condoms.
"Maybe the one marked kitchen?" Rory suggested before heading back out of the apartment.
I quickly closed the box and pulled the tape back over it. Why did I touch his boxers? What is wrong with me? I found the box labeled kitchen and started to unpack the glasses.

By the time they moved the rest of Rory's stuff in, my apartment had been transformed into a bachelor pad. My small couch had been pushed to the side and dark leather furniture had replaced it. There were beer mugs lining the counter and a dartboard hung up on the wall.
I turned my head when I heard the door creak back open. The three guys were carrying a case of beer and a few pizzas.
"Did you want to join us, mademoiselle?" Jackson asked. He had a kind smile. The three of them sat down in the living room.
"No, that's okay, guys. I'm just going to hang out in my room."
"Don't be ridiculous," Connor said. "We're going to be over a lot. We need to get to know you better." He tapped the seat between him and Rory on the couch.
"Um..." I looked over at Rory. He was smiling at me. He had such a sexy smile. "If you're sure I'm not imposing."
Connor popped the top off a beer and held it up for me. I walked over to the couch, sat down, and took the beer bottle. Jackson was sitting in a chair across from us.
I could feel Connor's eyes on me as I leaned over to grab a slice of pizza. "So you guys are going to be over a lot, huh?"
"Well, Rory always hosts poker night on Tuesdays," Jackson said.
I looked over at Rory. He shrugged his shoulders.
"And he throws a hell of a party," Connor added.
"He forgot to mention that." What had I gotten myself into?
"Actually, we were thinking about doing a kind of housewarming party. If that's okay with you, Keira?" Connor asked.
"Sure. When were you thinking?"
"Friday?"
