“Get your things. We have to get home and make sure everything is perfect for tonight.” I order.
I look up and see Flynn grinning at me.
“It’s finally happening. She’s going to be ours. Our one.” He says with the dopiest smile on his face.
I’d make fun of him but I can feel the same gleeful smile stretching across my face too.

Flynn
We race homeand start to frantically clean the house. Roman runs to the fridge to see what we can make for dinner but we haven’t been shopping recently and there aren't a lot of options.
“We’ll order food.” I yell as I run past him with the vacuum cleaner.
He starts washing the few dishes in the sink as I vacuum the floors. We have a cleaning lady who comes in once a week but her day isn’t until Wednesday and the house could use a quick clean. We want everything to be perfect for Aspen.
I pick up the clutter as Roman shoves dirty clothes in the washer.
“It’s 4 pm.” He says.
“She’ll be here at 5?” I double-check.
“Yeah. I’m hopping in the shower now.” He says.
“Ok, me too.” I call as he starts to head up the stairs.
I take one last look around to make sure that the place looks ok. When I don’t see any messes or embarrassing things laying around, I turn and make my way to my room. I shower quickly, pulling on a clean shirt and a pair of jeans. I decide to leave my feet bare since we’re not going anywhere and I brush my hands through my hair as I look over myself in the mirror one last time.
“I ordered Italian. Should be here at 5:30.” Roman says from the doorway.
“Sounds good.” I say as I turn to look at him. He’s dressed similarly to me in a pair of black jeans and a plain white t-shirt.
I follow him out into the hallway and as we pass outside the master bedroom I pause and push the door open. Roman stops next to me and we both look in.
This is it. This will be our room, as long as Aspen will have us. I stare at the bed and I can see it. I can picture the three of us cuddled up in it on chilly nights and tangled together on steamy ones. Waking up next to her every morning and getting to fall asleep next to her every night.
I want that. I know that Roman wants it too. Now we just need to make sure that Aspen wants it as well.
The doorbell rings and my eyes whip to Roman’s. He gives me a small nod and we practically sprint to get to the door. We don’t want to keep Aspen waiting. We’ve waited long enough already.

Aspen
I leftAdeline with a bowl of soup at home. She smiled at me as I got ready and told me to have fun with a sly grin as I walked out the door. I just laughed but the whole drive over here her words kept circling in my head.
I’ve been treating this as a death sentence but the truth is I could be killing two birds with one stone. I’ll get the money for Addy’s surgery and I’ll get to lose my pesky V card.
I’ve never been on a date before and I haven’t even been kissed. Tonight could be some fun with two men that I find attractive. I’ll get Adeline’s money and some life experience for myself. Finally, have that fun that everyone is always telling me to have.
The driver of the car the guys sent for me is silent on the drive over, although he did tell me that his name is Jack. We don’t drive for very long before he pulls up outside of a nice townhouse. This wasn’t exactly what I had in mind. I guess I was picturing some fancy hotel, not their home.
Jack pulls over to the curb and I wait while he comes around to open my door before stepping out and walking up to the front door. I ring the doorbell once before stepping back and waiting. I don’t have to wait long before the door bursts open to reveal Roman and Flynn standing there, dressed casually. I hear Jack drive away as they usher me inside.
Their house is clean and decorated in that typical bachelor style. Leather sofa and armchair, dark wood, and sturdy furniture. I look around the hallway and front room trying to take it all in. I bet you could fit ten of my apartments in their whole house. I take one more look around before my eyes turn back to them.
“Hey.” I say.
