The Cam Model's Aid: Chapter 15 Early Release (Patreon)

"Housemates are like Buses"

Alison blinked at the hand that was extended towards her. Instead of accepting it, she huffed, before rubbing her temple with an annoyed look on her face.

“You mean to tell me that the reason I've been stuck in a God awful flat with three assholes is because of a cock up at the letting agents?”

Ali retrieved his hand and rubbed the back of his neck nervously. “Essentially, yes?”

Alison sniffed, before crossing her arms and cocking her hip slightly. “And you didn't tell me sooner? I could've been out of there!”

“Hey! I didn't exactly know who it was until recently. I didn't know your name, despite sharing a class. Besides, I kinda landed on my feet. My roommates are great” he said, looking at Alana with a smile.

Alana returned it with an enthusiastic nod. “Yeah, and Ali is too! We all thought it was meant to be a girls only pad, but when we realised Ali was there by accident, we were kinda happy to just let him stay. He's not a “Guy” guy, you know?”

Alison nodded ruefully. “Oh, I know what guys can be like. Fine, consider me interested. I'm assuming you don't simply want to swap places?” she asked hopefully.

Alana stepped forward and hugged Ali's arm to herself. “Oh no, you're not taking Ali away. I'd never hear the end of it from Ellie, if nothing else!”

Coughing to avoid answering Alison's curious stare at that comment, he decided to be blunt. “Truth is Alison, we have a problem. One that can only be fixed if we find another tenant, soon. The fact that we found you was simply a happy coincidence. So, what do you say? We help each other out?”

Alison hesitated. “I already said I can't pay…” Alana shook her head, releasing her hold on Ali and taking up Alison's arm instead. “It's not a financial issue! Come, we'll explain on the way back to the flat!”

Alana then started dragging Alison towards the elevator to the carpark, the shorter girl putting up only a token effort to resist being led.

Ali watched the pair leave, reaching down to grab Alana’s various clothes bags once more.

“The whole situation with those guys sucks…but perhaps this will work out for the best.”

A short drive later found the three of them pulling into the driveway of their flat. On the way here, Alison had been brought up to speed on the situation with the landlady.

It had been a bit of a tight squeeze in Alana's small car, but Ali had chosen to sit across the back seat to make room, his legs pointing over the other side of the car.

“So this landlady sounds like a right crotchety old bag. I can see why you want to keep Ali's presence here a secret” Alison said as she hopped out of the car, pulling her seat forward to allow Ali to clamber out.

“Yeah, and the no guys rule? Totally fine normally, but we can't even have friends over. Such a bore!” Alana huffed as she led the way towards the entrance.

Alison looked in at the building with an appreciative look. “This place is much nicer than where I'm at, that's for sure”

“Wait until you see inside, it's really spacious” Ali chuckled as he walked past her, the shopping bags held over his shoulder casually.

He paused briefly, seeing there was a fourth car currently parked in the driveway. One that he did not recognise.

“Huh, one of the other flats tenants perhaps?” He eyed the little sports car appreciatively. A small two seater convertible, most likely worth more than their other cars combined.

Shrugging, he moved to catch up to the girls as they climbed the staircase to their floor.

“Come on Alison, we'll introduce you to our other roomies. You'll love em, I assure you!” Alana boasted as she unlocked the front doors.

“Honey, I'm home!” she called out with a teasing smile. As Alison followed inside a little more tentatively, Ali brought up the rear and looked over the flats living space.

There were two people sitting chatting on the sofa. One was recognisably Ellie, but the other held a head of dark, long hair that Ali didn't recognise.

Ellie turned to look over the back of the sofa with a wide smile. “Hey there! Did you have fun at the mall?” She stood, coming around to greet them.

The other person also turned to look over the back of the sofa at the approaching group. She was certainly good looking, with high cheekbones and sharp features. She had bright green eyes that contrasted her black hair nicely, with long eyelashes that must be artificially elongated.

What was most striking, however, was the girl's piercings. She had two stud piercings through her cheeks, at the edge of her mouth. As she smiled, they settled into her dimples nicely.

Alana glanced over the newcomer with an appreciative look before bouncing around to the front of the sofa. “Hey, sorry for interrupting. Didn't know you had a friend round, Ellie!”

Ellie chuckled, glancing at the slightly nervous Alison in turn. “You too huh?” She stood up, gesturing to the girl on the sofa.

“Meet Sophie. We’ve been talking online for ages. Turns out that she was in the area going to the same uni as us. Even better…she's willing to help us with our little letting problem!”

Sophie stood and stepped up to Alana, offering her hand towards her. This showed that she was easily as tall as she was, and Alana was the tallest of the girls. “Hello. Pleasure to meet you.” 

Alana hesitated briefly, looking briefly towards Alison. “Er, you too! Funny you should mention the letting problem…”

Ellie looked between Alana and Alison, before her eyes widened. “Oh. So you also found someone?”

Before Alana could answer, Alison huffed. “It’s fine. I still have a place to stay. I'll just call a cab…” As she reached into her pocket to retrieve her phone, Ali gently rested his hand upon her shoulder. He didn't miss the slight flinch she made as he did.

“No, Alison. You shouldn't have to go back there. I, for one, would be more comfortable if you at least stayed the night.” 

Alison looked ready to argue, but it was clear she was reluctant to go back to her flat. Alana stepped closer with a smile.

“It's fine. Besides, we have two spare rooms here anyway! At least, until the last tenant arrives next month, but we can figure something out by then, I'm sure!”

Alison nodded, her eyes slightly misting over in relief. Alana took up her hand, before starting to lead her towards the corridor that led her to her room. “Come on, I'll show you to the spare room this way, get you some covers and such”.

As she passed by Ellie and Sophie, she gave an apologetic look. “We'll catch up soon Sophie, welcome to the house, yeah?”

Sophie smiled, her cheek piercings settling more into her dimples. “Of course.”

As the pair disappeared from sight, Ellie turned towards Ali with an expectant look. “That…was interesting. I feel there's a story there, right?”

Ali sighed, walking over to the fridge and pulling out a cider. “Yeah. But it is not really my place to say too much about it, you know?”

He cracked the can open and took a long drink, before heading to the living room and taking a seat on the sofa.

Ellie sat next to him, curling her legs up and resting head on her hand that was leaning on the back, meaning that she was angled towards him. What he wasn't expecting was for Sophie to take the seat on the other side, instead of choosing to sit at either of the other free seats available.

This meant they were fairly squashed together. As Sophie crossed her leg over, her foot was left brushing against his thigh. Ali did his best to ignore the pleasant sensation.

“So she needs a place to stay. That's fair. But Soph can still stay, right?” Ellie asked hopefully. 

Ali glanced at Sophie, who smiled and gently fluttered her eyelashes. “It would be most helpful. Otherwise, I would need to find another place before my courses started.”

Ali took another drink, before shrugging. “Of course. Besides, it's not just my decision. This is all of our home. Has Mila agreed?”

“Not sure, she went to bed early today, said she was tired. Hasn't come out since.” Ali filed that information away for now.

“Ok. I'll have to ask her about Alison too, but that can wait until the morning”

Ellie hummed in thought. “Alison? The same Alison that has been giving you her access to her toy control during your coding lectures?”

Ali almost choked on his next mouthful of cider, looking at Sophie in concern of her reaction. She saw him looking her way and smiled wider. “Oh, don't worry. I'm not a prude. Els and I have talked about far more before.”

Before she could elaborate, Ellie nudged her foot away from Ali's thigh with a blush. “Nevermind that, is she Ali?”

Ali sighed and nodded. “Yep. Turns out that she's “Alison Smith”. The very person who had their tenant paperwork swapped with me. She should have been your flatmate, not me.”

Ellie winced, looking concerned. “Ah…does that mean that she knows? Will the two of you be…swapping?” She reached out and gently grasped his upper arm.

Ali shook his head and looked her way. “Nah, not getting rid of me that easily. The fiat she ended up at is…not suitable. Again, not my place to say. Let's just say I won't be moving in there anytime soon…”

Ellie looked relieved. She then turned a sly eye towards him. “She's pretty. I can see why you enjoyed controlling her Lovense in classes.”

Ali sighed, well aware of the soft giggling coming from Sophie. “Enough about that. What about you two? You said you met online, but choosing to move in is a big of a leap of faith.”

The two girls seemed to exchange a quick conversation between. Sophie nodded towards him with a pointed look, before Ellie sighed. 

“Ali, I want to be honest with you. I may have a hobby that is a little embarrassing. Or, a job I guess. I'm a model. A cam model, specifically.” 

Ali took another drink to buy him a second to think.

“...I know.”

Ellie blinked, before looking at him with a shocked expression. “You do?” Ali chuckled and looked at Ellie reassuringly.

“Your room is right next door to mine. The walls aren't that thick, and you're not always very…subtle.”

Ellie's face blushed up to her roots, and Sophie burst out laughing. “See, my friend! He is clearly as good a guy as you have described! You shouldn't have been so worried about telling him”

Ali turned his attention towards the dark haired beauty. “And so, have you spoken to Ellie online regarding her modeling? Does that mean you're a model too?”

Sophie leant forwards with a mischievous smirk. “I am. My username is “Pierced_and_Proud”...I think you could guess why…”

Ali swallowed as he looked over her dimple piercings. He had noticed, as Sophie had been speaking, that her tongue also held at least one more piercing. He suspected she had others…

“Anyway, Soph here helped me loads when I first started out! There's forums and stuff just for the models on the site, you see…” Ellie explained, giving Ali an excuse to turn back to the blonde on his right and resist looking to confirm his theories.

“And so, you found out you were closer than expected, and met up. Fair enough. Well, I'm happy you have a friend to help you with your…career?”

Ellie shook her head. “Nah, just until I finish Uni. It's helping me pay my rent, after all.” Sophie scoffed, but Ellie ignored her.

“Well, need a hand getting your stuff in then Sophie?” Ali offered, finishing his can of cider off and moving to stand.

“Oh, it's ok. I won't be moving in until tomorrow. Just came to be introduced to the place. And the other tenants.” Sophie responded, standing gracefully to join him.

She looked Ali up and down before winking. “I think I will enjoy my time here” Ali blushed slightly, before gesturing towards Ellie. Sophie simply rolled her eyes playfully.

“Goodbye Els. Try not to shock him too much with your skills!” Sophie laughed again as Ellie jumped up and started pushing her towards the door.

“What will I do with you! God, you're so embarrassing” she muttered as the pair passed Ali in order to head out to the driveway once more, Ellie joining her to see her off.

Ali snorted as the pair bickered on their way out. Clearly, the pair had known each other for a while. 

Ali chuckled, before moving to the kitchen and chucking his can in the recycling bin. He glanced towards the corridor that led to Alana and Mila’s room. 

He considered checking in on Alison, before deciding that it was best to leave it in Alana's hands. He could have also checked that Mila was ok, but if she truly was turning in early, the last thing he wanted was to wake her up.

Eventually, he sighed and headed towards his own room. After such an eventful day, he was keen to relax with his games.

He had barely made it to his room and turned on his computer, however, before there was a knock on his door.

Looking over, his door was already open, and Ellie stood leaning against his frame with a shy look on her face.

“So…sorry about her. She's a bit full on, huh” she said, while nervously playing with her hair.

“Perhaps. She seems like a good friend, from what little I could tell though.” Ellie glanced away down the hall, before stepping into the room and approaching him.

“You meant what you said, that night we spent on the sofa? That you don't mind about my preferences?” She asked. His face held a complex mix of worry and determination.

Ali turned towards her, giving her his full attention. “Ellie. I promise, whatever you want to do is up to you. Work, sex, camming. I wouldn't stop you in any way.”

Ellie looked at him for a short while, before seeming to come to a decision. She reacted forwards and grabbed his hand, before turning around and starting to pull him back towards the door.

“Er…Ellie?” Ali asked, but did not resist her pulling him out of his room.

“I want to show you. I want you to see what it is that I do. And then, if you still like what you see…” Ellie paused outside of the door to her own room. She looked over her shoulder, giving him a smoldering gaze that sent a shiver down his spine and blood rushing south.

“Perhaps…you would even help me train?”

Before he could answer, Ellie opened her door and stepped inside, leaving it open for him to follow.

Ali swallowed.

He gave a final glance in the direction of the now dark living space, the lights having been turned off by Ellie before heading through.

“Well, here's hoping we don't make too much noise…”

Taking a steadying breath, he turned and entered Ellie's room, closing the door behind him.

Author's Note: Not much in the way of sexy times here, but a lot of setting the scene for the future. Next chapter should show a return to some shameless smut, so stay tuned!
