I was going to have to give Rain a serious piece of my mind for this.
“Go home, Finn. I’ve had all of you that I’m willing to take for one day.”
That made one of us. There was still plenty of Finn that I’d like to explore more thoroughly today. And maybe every day for the rest of my life.
“Tell Romero we send our love,” I chirped loudly as the front door slammed shut.
“What in the hell are you talking about?”
Ah, so that answered that question. Rain had no idea that Finn was living with Romero. I finally knew something Rain didn’t.
I swiped the handles of my bag out of his fingers and headed toward my bedroom a whole lot happier than I had been just a minute ago.
“Night, Rain. Sweet dreams.”
I might not be capable of having them, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t.

Roommate?
Romero
Normally whenever my boy came to see me, it brought me a great deal of joy. Tonight was not one of those times.
Dash had shown up unannounced, which would never be a problem because this was always going to be his home and I wanted him to know that, but this time he’d shown up with Quinton and Ariel in tow.
Now I could always take or leave Quinton, but I loved spending time with my beautiful daughter-in-law. We weren’t exactly friends, but for whatever reason, I enjoyed being around her. She strangely brought me a sense of peace.
I thought it might have something to do with the fact that she was the person who rescued me and gave me the chance at having a real life.
I wondered if that was how Isobel felt about Ariel and Rain. She was clearly infatuated with Rain, and I hoped him saving her didn’t have anything to do with it because I didn’t have a hero complex, and she no longer needed saving.
Isobel was currently on a date with Finn. My goddamn houseguest, Finn, who was the real problem here, because he could come home at any moment, and I still did not want anyone to know who was staying with me. They’d have opinions, and I wasn’t ready to hear them just yet.
Maybe he’d spend the night with her again, and I couldn’t believe that fucking thought just crossed my mind. Clearly I was more mental than I had originally thought, because there was absolutely no reason I should ever be grateful for him spending the night with my female at my male’s house.
“Hey, Dad, where did all of this food come from?”
“The grocery store,” I responded as I turned away from them and stared out the window at the darkened sky.
I could feel all of their eyes on me, but thankfully, they left it at that.
I knew my son had questions ever since he dropped off the furniture for the spare room, but he’d been kind enough to give me space and privacy so far. I knew that wasn’t going to last much longer though.
And if Finn showed up with Ariel and Quinton here, it was game over. Then there’d be a whole lot of uncomfortable questions that I didn’t even know the answers to. I wasn’t so sure I wanted to examine my feelings enough to be able to answer them in the first place.
“Is it just me or is he acting weirder than usual?” Ariel whispered to one of her husbands.
I took a sip of my coffee and ignored the whole lot of them. Thankfully my phone rang and saved me from this potentially awkward situation.
“Hello,” I said after accepting Rain’s call and placing my phone at my ear. “Everything okay?”
The problem with allowing more people into my life and potentially my heart meant there were more people I had to care and worry about, and that was a bitch that I wasn’t normally used to.
“Is there something you’re keeping from me that you’d like to tell me?” Rain growled through the phone. “I don’t much like secrets, and especially not between the two of us.”
I couldn’t keep the smile off my face if I wanted to. “Between the two of us, huh? Do you care to explain why it’s so special just between the two of us?”
