When we walked into their apartment, I always felt like home. Partly because the guys always made me feel welcome and because I helped decorate and may have added a few pieces I like. Gosh, I loved this apartment.
Micah came strolling out of the hallway with the biggest grin, one that rivaled the Joker, only his was less creepy. He came right up to me and cocooned me in his embrace. He kissed the top of my head and said, "Did you get everything worked out?"
I didn't know why, but his tone was slightly amused. I glanced over at Asher and he rolled his eyes and grabbed three water bottles from the fridge. I remembered Asher's kiss and cleared my throat before saying, "Um, yeah. Mike is going to fix everything else tomorrow. But we managed to, um, mop up the water."
"Perfect." Micah took a sip of the water Asher handed him before saying, "Babe, I've got a little surprise for you. Close your eyes."
I rolled my eyes but did as told. "I don't trust you won't peek." Micah pressed against my back; one of his big hands covered my eyes and the other steadied me around the waist.
"Hold my hand." Asher grabbed my hand and linked his fingers with mine. Having them touch me like this sent my libido into overdrive, and nothing they'd done was even sexual. Damn me and my virgin-ness.
They both led me toward the hallway where the bedrooms were. My heart rate spiked. Holy shit, are they taking me to one of their rooms to-
My thought cut off when we stopped at the first door. I knew this was an empty room, not one of their bedrooms, which were further down the hall.
I heard Asher open the door, and they guided me through, Micah still pressed close against my back. Even though he wasn't as muscular as Asher, Micah was still ripped as hell. God, I'd love to lick both of them.Holy shit. Get your mind out of the gutter Harper.
Once we were standing where I presumed was the middle of the room, Asher released my hand, and Micah leaned in and whispered, "Welcome home, sweetheart," before he removed his hand from my eyes.
I opened to find I was in the apartment's main bedroom. This room had its own bathroom. When the guys first moved in, neither wanted to take it. I guess because they didn't want the other to feel like it was more their apartment by having the master with the bath. They would use the bathroom if the one of them was currently using the one they shared. Other than that, this room housed some of my stuff.
I glanced around the room and tried to hold back tears. Micah set up all my furniture exactly how I would have. He even bought me a beautiful ivory bedspread and filled the bed with tons of pillows, just how I like. Even in college, he always gave me shit for having ten pillows on my bed, but it looked pretty, so he could suck it.
Micah still had a hand gripping my waist, squeezing my hip he said, "Do you like it, sweetheart?" I could hear the doubt laced through his statement. But there shouldn’t be any; he did amazing, it looked incredible here.
I turned in his arms and gave him the biggest hug. When he settled me back down, I pulled away and said, "You didn't have to do all this. I'm only going to be here for a little while. I could have just crashed on the couch."
Confusion stretched across his handsome features. "Do you not get it, babe? You're moving in with us. You don't need your own place. You're always here; we have this extra room where your stuff sits. It's like it was fate or some shit."
He pulled me toward the bathroom and continued, "I bought a new shower curtain and some towels to match your bedspread, we figured tomorrow morning, after we grabbed your stuff, we could go shopping for the rest of the things you need."
I peered into the bathroom; Micah even took my travel toiletries out and put them away. Gosh, living here would be amazing. But I didn't want to feel like I was imposing.
I looked back at Asher and asked, "Are you sure you're okay with this? I don't want to cramp your guys' style if you want to bring girls back home."
All the time I'd known Micah, I'd never seen him hook up with anyone. He also never told me of anyone. I assumed it was out of respect, same with Asher. I'd never seen him hook up with anyone, but I figured it was because he was still adjusting to civilian life. It wasn’t like women didn't throw themselves at the guys because they did. They would just let them down gently.
They glanced at each other before looking back at me laughing like I made some hilarious joke. Micah pulled me to his side and kissed the top of my head. "None of that will be happening."
Before I could question what he meant, Asher interrupted, "Let's grab some burgers and fries. I'm starving."
On cue, my stomach growled so loud I would be embarrassed if these two men hadn't seen me at my worst already.
I freshened up in what was now my bathroom before switching out my T-shirt. Luckily, I consistently overpacked when I went to my parent's house, so I had about a week's worth of outfits. But tomorrow, the guys and I would grab the rest of my clothes, bathroom products, and kitchen equipment.
When I moved in with Theo, he had everything and was pretty particular about his decor. Thinking back on it, that might have something to do with him being gay. Actually, a lot of his personality made sense now.
Not wanting to spend more brain space thinking of Theo, I checked myself out one last time in the mirror and met the guys in the living room.
The guys took me to my favorite diner. I needed to find a part-time job when I moved here for college. The diner was within walking distance from the dorm room and they were flexible with my schedule. I worked there until I could save a good chunk of money to start my bakery. The owners of the diner even used a few of my recipes for some of their baked goods.
The diner owners were the sweetest elderly couple, Arthur and Alice Nelson. Every time I walked in, I got the feeling of coming home. For a while, this was my home away from home.
Tonight, was no different. The second we walked in; Alice pulled me in for a hug and set us up in my favorite booth. The guys went ahead of me, Alice held me back.
"What's wrong?"
I swear, she had a sixth sense about everything. She knew all about my crush on both guys because she dragged it out of me years ago, when I met Micah and then again not long after Asher came home. She too was never really a fan of my relationship with Theo.
