The deliveries had started arriving from seven am and I had woken up early with Megan half on top of me and me holding her tightly with both arms. It was a weird sensation to wake up to as I quietly slipped out of the bed and went downstairs.
“Ryder Grey! You can be so glad that I didn’t wake up naked in your be… uhm good morning Sire Lucas,” Megan said as she stopped in the doorway of the kitchen. I was busy making coffee and my father stood on the other side of the counter with an amused look on his face.
“Morning Megan,” he said as that familiar blush crept all over her face.
“Morning,” I said with a smile as I handed her a cup of coffee trying not to laugh. I put a cup down in front of Lucas as Megan’s eyes darted from me to him.
“You can borrow some of my clothes if you want to go shower,” I said to her as her eyes widened. She just nodded and I could hear her muttering to herself.
“You and Megan…” Lucas said as he looked at me.
“We’re just friends Dad,” I said to him.
“Uh huh,” he said.
“She helped me with the furniture yesterday, we stayed out late at a diner and she fell asleep in the truck on the way here,” I said to him.
“And somehow ended up in your bed,” he said.
“I only have one bed,” I said and he looked at me for the longest time.
“She’s a nice girl, I like her,” he said after a while.
“We’re really just friends,” I said to him.
“You’re welcome to invite your ‘friend’ to dinner tonight, your mom expects you there at seven,” Lucas said.
“And you drove all the way to Princeton just to tell me that?” I asked him.
“I wanted to see how you were coping alone but obviously I was worried about nothing,” he said.
“Nice Dad, real funny,” I said as he started to laugh.
“I’ll see you tonight then, seven pm,” he said as he finished his coffee and I walked him to the front door. He also had a few people he needed to see in Cambridge and I was on his way.
I went back upstairs just as Megan came out of the bathroom sporting a pair of my sweatpants and t-shirt that was way too big for her.
“I was going to recommend the sweat pants, it might be big around your waist but your ass will fill it out,” I said as she turned to glare at me.
“Meaning what exactly?” she asked me.
“It’s just that your ass… never mind,” I said.
“Are you saying I have a fat ass?” she asked me.
“No!” I said quickly.
“Then what?” she asked me as she stood with her hands on her hips.
“Just forget I said anything,” I said to her trying to hide my embarrassment.
“No! Tell me,” she said adamantly.
“Fine! Your ass is perfect for… no I can’t, I’m going to sound like a pervert,” I said as the pillow flew across my face.
“Ryder!” she yelled her face a bright red.
“You asked,” I said as I ducked at the shoe heading for my face.
“I’m going home,” she said loudly.
“You can’t!” I said running after her as she made her way down the hall to the stairs.
“Why not?” she asked me.
“You have to tell them what goes where, they’re delivering stuff,” I said to her.
“You’re such an idiot,” she said as she looked at me, “stop looking at my ass.”
“Are you wearing my underwear?” I asked her as I saw the edge of my boxers above the sweat pants.
“Yes, I wasn’t going to go commando,” she said, “plus they’re really comfortable.”
“I don’t mind, I didn’t think you’d have the balls to wear my actual underwear,” I said to her as she closed her eyes.
“I’ll buy you a new pair okay,” she said.
“You’re not giving them back?” I asked her as she blushed again.
“No, I like how they sit, I think I’ll keep these,” she said.
“Fine then I want a pair of yours in return,” I said to her.
“You’re such a pervert! Now I’m definitely not moving in with you,” she said as she pretended to be angry.
“You mean you were really considering it?” I asked her.
“Not anymore!” she said as the doorbell rang and she walked towards it.
There were more delivery people and Megan took charge once again, telling them where to put which pieces of furniture and I sat down on the last step watching her in action. She was in her element as she sorted my house out and I could see it coming together.
I left at lunch time to buy pizza and beer and I found her hard at work in the kitchen as she unpacked utensils and crockery. She smiled briefly as I put the pizza down on the counter with the six pack of beer next to it.
“I brought lunch,” I said.
“The least you can do is feed me,” she said and I laughed as we sat on the new bar stools eating our pizza at the counter.
“Will you reconsider moving in if I promise to feed you every day?” I asked her as she laughed.
“Maybe,” she said and I smiled.
“I’m home!” Link yelled from the foyer and I heard his footsteps as he walked to the kitchen.
“Hi,” Megan said as he stopped short in the doorway.
“Hey, I’m Link,” he said with a smile as he grabbed a slice of pizza.
“Megan,” she said as she opened the bottle of beer.
“I can’t believe you actually went and bought furniture,” Link said as he grabbed another slice.
“Not me, that was all Megan,” I said and Megan smiled shyly as Link gave her a thumbs up.
“I think I might be in love,” Link said as Megan blushed.
“Geez Link, I’m trying to get her to move in here,” I said as she started laughing again.
“For real?” he asked as he checked her out.
“Stop checking her out!” I said to him loudly.
“I don’t see your name on her,” he said as Megan kept on laughing.
“She’s a year older than you Link,” I said and he smiled.
“Ah an experienced woman,” he said and at that statement I did laugh.
“Link she’s wearing my underwear, do I really need to put my name on her,” I said as Megan’s head snapped up.
“What?” Link asked as he literally leaned forward and looked at her crotch area.
“Ryder!” she yelled as I laughed.
“I’m kidding, we went to high school together, we’re just friends Link,” I said with my hands in the air surrendering.
“She’s going to be a fun roommate,” he said.
“If you keep this up I’ll give her your room,” I threatened him.
“She should take the one in the middle of us,” he said and I nodded my head.
“I don’t know if I’m going to survive living with you two,” she said.
“That means yes right?” I asked her.
Megan left an hour later to go home saying she’d think about moving into the guest room. Link and I stood on the porch and watched her drive away. He gave me a knowing look and smirked as I turned to walk back into the house.
“Where have you been this whole weekend?” I asked him.
“I think her name’s Leana or something,” he said and I stopped short.
“No fucking way Link,” I said to him.
“What?” he asked me.
“Lose her number, immediately, you’ll thank me one day,” I said to him.
“Why, she’s pretty wild but it’s not like I’m going to marry her,” he said.
“She’s also the Aurora town slut,” I said to him.
“She was pretty crazy,” he said with a smile.
“I hope you didn’t tell her where we live,” I said to him.
“Uhm I can’t really remember if I did or not,” he said.
“She’ll stalk the shit out of you,” I said and he looked worried for a bit.
“Didn’t I see you with some girl on the patio on Friday night?” he asked me.
“What does that have to do with anything?” I asked him
“The way you look at Megan though,” he said and I turned to face him.
“Megan’s not my type, we’re really just friends,” I said to him.
“I really like what she’s done with the place though, it feels like home now,” he said as we lounged on the couches in the living room.
“She even bought groceries, why do you think I want her to move in here?” I said as he chuckled.
“You need to hire a cook and people to run the house,” he said and I nodded.
“I know but who?” I asked him.
“I’ll ask around among the members and then maybe we can ask Megan to interview them,” Link said and I sat up straight.
“That’s a great idea. She’s a woman, she’ll know what to ask and shit,” I said as he shook his head.
“You really are clueless aren’t you,” he said to me.
“Watch it,” I said as he laughed.
