"I didn't"
Her father sighed in exasperation. "I see. And just how long have you been seeing my little girl?"
"I met her in Europe when she was studying abroad." It was the truth. Her father didn't need to know it had literally been in her final hours there.
"Interesting. Still waiting on your name, young man."
Rarely did Jaxson feel dressed down, yet Mr. Fischer made him feel just that. "My name is Jaxson Davidson."
"Well Jaxson, I'd like you to give Emma a message to please call me the minute she gets home from her classes. We haven't seen her in several weeks. She was supposed to be coming home this weekend. Perhaps you could come with her and we could meet."
Ah. Emma the little secret keeper. "I'm not sure. We hadn't discussed it yet."
"Well Jaxson, I will be expecting you. If you are close enough to my baby girl to follow her half way across the globe, then you seem to be someone important enough for me to meet. Wouldn't you agree?"
Jaxson had opened this particular can of worms. It would be easy enough to back-pedal and say they were just friends, but the words wouldn't come. Instead he pushed forward. "I would agree, sir. In fact, another good friend of Emma's is visiting as well and if it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd like you to meet our friend Chase as well."
"That would be fine. Perhaps you two can share your stories from Europe with us. Emma came home a changed young woman and yet she's shared very few details of her time overseas. I look forward to hearing all of the details of your time with my little girl."
He was pretty damn sure her father wouldn't be looking so forward to the stories if he knew they all entailed his daughter naked and doing the down-and-dirty with not one but two men at the same time.
"Yes, sir. I look forward to that as well."
"Very well. I'll expect to see you this weekend. Don't forget. Make sure Emma gives me a call."
The call dropped.
"You know she's gonna kick your ass for this, right?"
Jaxson did know. "Yeah, probably. Too late now."
"Well, I'm starving. Let's go down to the kitchen to grab some lunch. We should eat something just in case she decides to kick us to the curb. At least we won't be hungry."
"She won't kick us to the curb." Jaxson wished his voice didn't sound so damn unsure.
Chapter 12
The kitchen wasfull when the men made it there twenty minutes later. Eating lunch with Emma's roommates was turning into a surprisingly fun daily routine. The motley crew was pretty good-natured about having two supermodels hanging out in their attic.
Emma's four unlikely roommates sat around the large kitchen table today eating big bowls of breakfast cereal for lunch. Ryan and Courtney, the only couple to live in the house, looked like they'd just finished their own marathon sex session. Danielle, the brainiac pre-law student, blushed as was normal when the men sat down at the table next to her. She then returned her attention to her computer. Very gay Richard rounded out the group. It didn't take a brain surgeon to figure out that of the group, Richard was the one most jealous of Emma. Jaxson and Chase had agreed they needed to be careful about sending the impressionable young man any wrong messages about their availability.
"Good morning," Jaxson greeted them a bit too cheerily.
"Good afternoon." Courtney teased.
Chase dished it back. "Hey, we had a late night," he said reaching to pour a cup of bad coffee.
Ryan answered him with a grin. "Yeah, we heard. I have to protest. You sex-gods are giving all men a bad name. It's inhuman how long you can go at it. You're setting very unrealistic goals for us mere mortals."
"Yeah, well there are two of us so that kinda helps." Chase teased back.
It was Courtney who probed deeper. "So how exactly does that work? I mean..."
Ryan cut her off. "I thought we discussed this, Court. It is none of your damn business how it works. Butt out."
Richard piped in. "Yeah, well I wouldn't mind hearing more about it myself."
Ryan shot his roommate a look that shut him up. Jaxson poured his cereal and milk while answering. "I'm not exactly sure what you all are fishing to know. I'd have thought you'd gotten your lesson on the birds and the bees a few years ago." He tried to make light of their teasing, unwilling to disclose personal information Emma would prefer to keep private.
