Chapter 26
Anu-Ms K
I haven’t spoken to Daniel since I called him while falling asleep. I was supposed to return on Sunday, but my dad wouldn’t let me leave. I finally took a late flight on Wednesday evening, getting to Chicago at midday.
When I arrived home, the unit was the same way I left it.
I didn’t expect it to be this clean. But to my surprise, everything is in order.
I know Daniel has been staying here because I called Jacob and he told me he and Mr. W have been getting along, and he lets him play Xbox for two hours before sending him up to his mom.
I’m a bit jet lagged. I drop my suitcase on my bed and go to the fridge and, it’s stocked with food.
I smile. I could get used to this. I take out a neatly wrapped sandwich and eat.
It’s so good that I take another one and a glass of apple juice then head to my spot on the sofa.
Pulling the blanket from the basket, I curl up and soon drift off to sleep.
I awake to gentle hands rubbing my cheek; I’m startled, then I see Daniel. I pull the blanket close.
“Welcome back,” he says.
“Thanks.”
“I was beginning to think I might have to get myself a new roommate.”
“Very funny,” I chuckle. “Daddy didn’t want me to leave. I had to promise to come back home soon, or he would’ve kept changing my ticket.”
“Glad you made it back.”
I nod and really open my eyes to look at him.
Was he always this good looking and sexy before or I’m just in a drought?
I could jump him right now. We remain in silence just looking at each other.
There’s something sizzling in the air between us along with a fight to hold back.
I suck my lips in and pull the blanket close to hide my hardened nipples.
“I hear you and Jacob are getting along.”
“Well, since the one person we have in common isn’t available, we had to become friends.”
I smile.
“Good, glad you guys figured things out.” I get up and feel some wetness. “Still tired. Talk in the morning,” I say.
“Goodnight, Anu, and welcome back”.
I wave to him, not looking back. My steps are quick to the bathroom to wash the travel and the arousal I’m experiencing.
Living with him isn’t going to be a walk in the park. Damn it!
