Chapter 94 Dangerous Roommate!
Hugo and Jessica approached the house, their footsteps echoing faintly on the quiet street.
The apartment door stood in front of them like a portal to a different world. Hugo adjusted his hoodie nervously, his heart still racing from the earlier bike shenanigans.
Jessica knocked on the door, her fist tapping a steady rhythm. They waited. No response. She knocked again, harder this time.
"Maybe your roommate's asleep?" Hugo suggested. 'Please let her not be asleep. Goddess of luck, I beg you! Don't let all my efforts tonight get wasted before I even begin!'
Jessica ignored him, pounding the door louder. "Luny! Come on, open up! I forgot my keys!"
From inside, a sultry voice floated through the door. "Who is it?"
Hugo froze, the blood draining from his face. That voice—he knew that voice. It sent a shiver down his spine, not out of fear but sheer disbelief.
It couldn't possibly be so, right? Coincidences like this were too crazy to be true, right? RIGHT?!
"Uh…" Jessica called back, "It's me, Jess! And I've got a friend with me!"
Hugo's brain went into overdrive. The face that voice belonged to was already forming in his mind.
'No. No, no, no. It can't be.' His eyes darted to Jessica, who was completely unfazed, and then back to the door. 'There's no way…'
The door creaked open, and a familiar face peeked out. Hugo's stomach did a triple somersault.
It really is! It actually really is this person!
Standing there, with her sleek hair tied back and her yoga toned body casually draped in an oversized hoodie, was Luna.
Yes, Luna! The Luna!
Luna was the yoga instructor Hugo had shamelessly flirted with during his disastrous yoga date with Daphne.
The same Luna who had smirked knowingly when Hugo tried—and failed—to act smooth during a downward dog pose.
The same Luna he had smartly and 'professionally' exchanged contacts with right in front of his date!
Her eyes landed on him, and for a split second, her mouth twitched in surprise. Her beautiful eyes widened for a split moment.
Then, like the pro she was, she quickly masked her reaction with a calm, almost amused expression.
Hugo, on the other hand, was dying. 'This is it. Game over. She's going to call me out right here in front of Jessica. I'm done for. Spiderman's getting unmasked. No, I'm already unmasked, this Spidey is getting straight out stripped!'
But then he remembered. 'Wait! I have the Aura of Alpha!'
Summoning every ounce of fake confidence, Hugo straightened his back, puffed out his chest, and locked eyes with Luna.
The best way was to simply treat all this as normal. If he started acting all nervous, he was simply handing the power over to her.
Besides, he hadn't really done much. Just blatantly disrespected a girl in front of a group of 30, that's all...
He gave her the slightest nod, a silent I'm cool, you're cool, let's keep this chill.
Luna raised an eyebrow, her lips curving into a knowing smirk, but she said nothing. Instead, she stepped aside, motioning for them to enter.
Hugo nearly collapsed from relief. 'She didn't say anything. Thank the goddess of luck. Thank every deity in existence! I love you Luna!'
Jessica walked in first, dragging Hugo along. "Thanks, Luna! You're a lifesaver."
The apartment was simple but cosy—a snug living room with a comfy couch, a coffee table littered with magazines, and soft fairy lights strung along the walls.
It smelled faintly of lavender and something sweet, like freshly baked cookies.
Jessica dropped her jacket onto the couch and introduced them. "Luna, this is Hugo. Hugo, Luna's my roommate."
Hugo and Luna exchanged polite nods, pretending they had never seen each other before.
They were both complete pros. At least one was a pro and the other had the aura of alpha for support.
"Nice to meet you," Luna said, her tone perfectly casual, though her eyes sparkled with amusement.
"Yeah, same here," Hugo replied, his voice steady despite the chaos screaming inside his head. 'She's playing along! I might survive this after all!'
Jessica stood up and gestured toward her room. "We'll be in here. Maybe… use some headphones or something?"
She winked at Luna, then grabbed Hugo's arm and dragged him toward her room.
Jessica's room was small but inviting. The bed was covered in soft blankets, a few plush pillows, and a faint pink hue from a bedside lamp.
There were posters on the walls—some pop band Hugo didn't recognise—and a stack of books on the nightstand.
As soon as the door closed, Jessica turned around, her eyes dark and hungry. Before Hugo could say a word, she grabbed his face and pulled him into a kiss so fierce it left him dizzy.
It wasn't just a kiss—it was a devouring. Her lips moved like she was starved, and Hugo, caught off guard, could only respond in kind.
His hands found her waist, pulling her closer as their breaths mingled.
She broke the kiss briefly, her eyes blazing. "I've been dying all night. You have no idea."
Hugo's brain short-circuited. 'Oh, I have some idea.'
He was about to experience the bliss of the legendary one night stand! And with his senior of all people!
Jessica pushed him back onto the bed, her movements urgent. "Wait right here," she said, her voice low and sultry. "I'm going to the bathroom. And when I come back…" She grinned wickedly. "I want you naked."

Hugo's jaw dropped. "N-naked?"
"Yes," she said, laughing softly before disappearing into the bathroom.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Hugo sat there, his mind racing with wild, hilarious thoughts. Is this real life? Am I in a dream? Did I accidentally use the Casanova System on turbo mode?!
Just as Hugo was contemplating whether to start undressing, the door creaked open. His head snapped up, expecting Jessica.
It wasn't Jessica.
It was Luna.
She stood in the doorway, leaning casually against the frame, her lips curling into a playful smile.
"Well," she said, her voice dripping with mischief, "this is an interesting development."
Hugo's soul left his body.
