I watch him leave, reminding myself that I shouldn’t be drooling over the way he looks in a suit.
A nurse comes in shortly after with a stack of papers for me to sign before I can go, and I drive home, my mind already reeling with packing lists. I barely make it home in time to dash to the bathroom and relieve my poor, cramped bladder. The lack of space is already concerning since I still have a long way to go.
I wash my hands, noticing that the counter is oddly bare and my go-to toiletries are missing. Then I hear a text come through.
Gus-Gus
I’m sure you’re freaking out by now. But don’t worry, you weren’t robbed.
Well, except for your panty drawer. Some creep may have raided your dresser before anyone could stop him. *smirking face emoji*
Loren
Then where’s all my stuff?
Gus-Gus
At my house, duh. Aren’t you supposed to be the smart one, Reed?
Loren
You moved everything without me?
Gus-Gus
Before you get upset, remember that this was for your own good. I knew you’d end up overdoing it, so a few of us went over and grabbed the essentials for now.
I stare down at the phone in shock. I can’t believe he went through this much trouble. In fact, I don’t even understand how he found the time to pack and move all of my things, since he spent the night in the hospital with me.
Loren
So, what? Am I just supposed to show up at your place and make myself at home now?
Gus-Gus
That’s exactly what you’re supposed to do. I’ll see you later, roomie. *face blowing a kiss emoji*
I put the phone down and make a round through the house, realizing he’s actually taken nearly everything important. Then I reluctantly head over to Blake’s.
Using the code he gave me a while back, I unlock the door and let myself in. I don’t see any changes in the main living area, so I poke my head into the guest room I occupied the last couple of times I stayed over, expecting to find a stack of boxes. Instead, I open the door to unveil a tidier version of my own bedroom back home. My favorite pillow is perched on the bed, right beside a nightstand holding the book I’d set down before going to sleep a couple nights ago. I bite my lip as tears well up in my eyes. Then I dart over to the closet to find my things arranged neatly and the rest of my clothes folded within the dresser.
There’s even a note in the top drawer that reads:
Sorry, I tried to keep your panty drawer sacred, but your pervy “boyfriend” got there first. I figured I’d let him have this, since it’s the closest he’ll get for a while.
Love,
Ten
P.S. This is not fake-dating behavior … js.
I roll my watery eyes and replace the note before going around and inventorying most of my things until Blake texts again.
Gus-Gus
Btw, I took the liberty of putting your toiletries in the master bath, since I figured you’d want to use that tub. And I don’t mind swapping bedrooms if you’d rather have that bathroom to yourself.
