Ben's POV
I worked on a simple dinner of Mac and cheese. I was oddly excited. Although we were acting like nothing happened between us, she was still at my house. My phone started to ring.
"Daddy, I want to help too," Chloe said.
"Alright here," I gave her the cutlery.
She dropped them on the table but not the right way. After dropping them, her job was done and she went off to the living room to watch some cartoons.
"Thanks for the help Chloe," I said.
"Okay!" she replied without a care.
I answered the phone, "Hello?"
"Hey big brother," Ethan said. "I saw your missed calls what's up?"
"Yeah I wanted to know if the nurse had arrived at your hospital," I explained. "Did something happen? Stacy seemed like she needed the company."
"I don't… I said something stupid," he said.
Normally I'd make a joke and go, "Tell me something I don't know." But that was the last thing he wanted to hear.
"Have you seen the nurse?" He changed the topic. "She's a very chill person. I almost wanted to keep her at my place by all means."
"I'm glad you didn't," I said, "Chloe loves her. She's at my house now."
"Chloe loves her? Damn, looks like I'm the only one she doesn't like yet, and I'm family," he sighed.
"Don't beat yourself up; her birthday is coming up, so just bribe her with another cake and don't screw it up, butterfingers," I teased.
"You seem in a good mood," he said. "You hardly tease me."
"Well I haven't spent the night with Chloe in a while, and…"
"Daddy, I want some water," Chloe requested, cutting me off. I got her a cup and she made her way to the water dispenser.
"Don't play with that," I warned. "What was I saying Ethan? Yeah, I haven't spent a lot of time with Chloe recently, so getting to come home early and be with her is a lot exciting."
"I don't think that's the only reason your excited," he said.
"And what makes you say that?" I asked as I brought out the plates and started plating the meal.
"Well, a healthy man and a healthy woman in one house," he said. I could picture his goofy grin.
"You really know how to switch back to normal, considering you just broke a woman's heart some hours ago," I brought him back to earth.
"I don't… fine you win," he sighed, "…just hang in there for six more days and we'll get her a hotel room. As for her duties, there's a logbook document I'm going…"
I stopped hearing him as I heard footsteps descending the stairs. I looked up and noticed that Olivia was on her way down. She wore a baggy t-shirt that stopped at her shorts. She wasn't wearing a bra, at least that's what the imprint on her chest showed me. Her nipples were stiff as well. She had a refreshed look, and her hair seemed damp. She had her finger in her left ear, trying to get water out.
"Something smells good," she said as she switched to the right ear. She paused and looked up at me then at her outfit. She covered her chest rather bashfully. "Look I forgot my nightwear, okay? Don't stare too hard until I'm used to your gaze."
I couldn't speak, too stunned to say anything. She was still wearing clothes and covered everything perfectly, but I was still being affected.
"Hello? Did he go into a tunnel? Earth to Benjamin Sullivan!" Ethan called for my attention.
"Huh, what?" I asked.
