We ended up in a little tavern type place on the waterfront, and ordered a salad.
“So how’s your day been so far?” James asked, sipping at the white wine we had ordered with our food.
“Busy. But I am going to see a few houses tonight. Hopefully I’ll see something I like.”
“That sounds like fun. Want me to come with you?”
“That depends. Are you going to feel me up in any of the houses?”
He laughed heartily, and wiggled his eyebrows suggestively. “Who knows, we could try and ditch the real estate agent.”
“Hardly.” I giggled. “You don’t need to come though, if you’re busy.”
“I’m not, and I need to talk to a real estate agent anyway, need to start looking for a place.”
“Oh, I see.” I nodded “Where are you living now?”
“A buddy of mine has a place here, but he spends most of his time at the east coast these days. He let me use his house, for the time being at least.”
We finished our food, and James drove me back to work. The rest of the day went quickly, and before I knew it was time to go and look at the first house. James was already waiting for me in his truck that he called ‘The Beast’
We found the house quickly, but I knew at once that I didn’t like it. In a bad neighborhood, and too small. We did a perfuctionary walkthrough and we followed to the agent to the next house, in a much better part of town. The house was split level, painted white with yellow shutters. A double garage was attached, with a wide driveway. A basketball hoop was placed above the window of the garage, and I could see a little garden in the back. The overall impression was very nice. Walking through the house, I liked it even more. The ground level consisted of a kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom and a hallway where the staircase was located. Upstairs there were two large bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, a laundry room/closet and a large room that I could think of many uses for already.
After I had walked through the house I walked into the garden from the kitchen. There was a small lawn, but there had obviously been planted flowers on the edge of it once, it was just a mass of weeds now. The deck I was standing on was fairly large, with more then enough room for a grill, table and sun beds. To the left of the deck there were a few steps made from rock that led into a sunken hot tub that would seat about eight people. I lifted the lid that was covering it, and saw it was empty, and at first look seemed to be made of rocks also. It must have been smoothed down in that case because it was smooth to the touch, and the ledge for sitting on was totally even. I jumped down and sat on it thinking this was pretty cool. James walked over to the steps and peered down at me.
“I’m thinking you’re missing something, darlin’” He drawled.
“What could that be?” I asked in a mock surprised voice.
James jumped down and sat next to me, putting an arm around my shoulders. “I think you should buy this place based on this alone.” He whispered in a seductive tone by my ear. “Think how much fun we’ll have.”
“You think you’re invited?” I giggled.
“You think I’m not coming anyway?” He growled, making like he was going to tickle me. I jumped up, but he caught my arm, and pulled me to him, his lips catching mine in an eager kiss. His hands held me tightly against his hard body, his tongue stroking mine, exploring my mouth. My hands were gripping his wide shoulders, and I was about to do some exploring of my own when we heard a voice from above us.
“Sorry to, uh, interrupt...”
We broke away from each other, and I walked up the steps to the deck, my cheeks heating up.
I talked to the realtor about various issues, about the house and payment. We finally agreed on a small down payment, and then a monthly morgage. The house was already vacant, so she told me to stop by her office tomorrow to sign the dotted line and collect the keys.
I left shortly thereafter; James dropped me off at Kirks house.
“You coming in?”
“Nah, sorry darlin’ but I’m thinking I should go and see my babies before they go to sleep. Tomorrow?”
“That’s fine James. Talk to then.”
I kissed him on the cheek, and got out of the car.
I had the feeling something had been bothering James, but I couldn’t pinpoint it. I decided to instead celebrate my new house.
Walking into the kitchen, I saw Lani stirring a pot, and Kirk standing behind her, arms around her waist and kissing her neck.
“You two are so cute together.” I said smiling. Kirk stepped back and they both smiled at each other, and then me. “Don’t let me interrupt.”
“Hey Val, how did the house hunt go?” Kirk asked.
“Found a house I like actually. Getting the keys tomorrow, so you’ll soon be free to make out anywhere you like.” I said teasingly.
“You must be so glad to have found a place of your own.” Lani said and giving a hug. Kirk joined in and offered his congratulations as well.
“Making out all around the place won’t be same without somebody around to catch us.” Kirk said, giving me a grin. “We’re gonna miss having you around.”
“No worries. I have a hot tub in my backyard, feel free to come over and make out whenever you want.” I offered laughing.
We had a nice evening in, eating the pasta dish Lani had been cooking, and then Kirk made us watch a Boris Karloff movie.
After the movie ended, Kirk took the dogs to the backyard, leaving me and Lani.
“So, Val” Lani said, looking at me with a serious air about her “What’s been going on with you and James?”
“A little nakedness. Other then that....” My voice trailed off with a shrug.
“So it’s not serious?”
“No, not at all. I don’t think I could handle serious right now. Why?”
“Well, it’s just I know Fran you know. And I was talking to her today; I think she’s having second thoughts about the divorce thing. I just wanted to tell you to make sure that’s totally over, before this turns into something serious. They are separated, but we both know how quickly things can change.”
“Thanks for the warning Lani. I know that whole thing is still complicated. But I think neither of us are thinking that far ahead.”
She patted my hand reassuringly. “I hope you don’t think I’m interfering honey. I know you needed a good time, but I would hate to have to kick James’ ass if he hurts you.”
I just laughed at her. “That I’d like to see.”
We heard the door open, and the dogs walking around signaling Kirks arrival.
“Hey Kirk” I said when he came into the kitchen. “If you’re gonna miss me so much, why don’t you help me paint?
“I’m not going to miss you that much, brat.” He said, ruffling my hair.
“Fine friend you turn out to be.” I huffed playfully. “Anyway, it’s getting late guys, I should go get some sleep.”
We said goodnight, and I went to my room with Jerry. Being alone suddenly felt lonely, and I let Jerry sleep in the bed with me. I eventually fell asleep after tossing and turning for a while.
I woke up early the next morning and immediately regretted having let Jerry sleep with me. His head was on the other pillow, and he was sleeping like a baby giving me the full blast of doggy breathe.
“That’s attractive,” I muttered to myself as I got up, and took a quick shower. Dressing in jeans and a shirt, I noticed I was having a pretty bad hair day. Pulling it up in ponytail, I added mascara. Val, master of diversion.
I padded downstairs to find Rob back; he was sitting with Kirk having tea.
“Rob!” I said happily when I saw him. He stood up and held out his arms for the bear hug he always greeted me with. I moved into his arms and squeezed him back, savoring the moment. There was nothing quite like a Trujillo bear hug.
“Hi babes, great to see you.”
He kissed the top of my head, and then stepped back. He took my chin carefully in his hand, and lifted so he could get a better look at me.
“You look a lot better then a few days ago.” He noted.
“It’s all the tofu and noodles Kirks’ been feeding me.” I quipped, grinning at Kirk.
“Oh I like that.” He snorted. “You tried tofu once, brat.”
“What are you doing today?” Rob asked me.
“Well, this morning I need to get the keys to my new house, but otherwise I should be at work.” I said. “Why?”
“I was hoping you could come surfing with us for a bit, me and Kirk are heading out. But that’s great news about the house! Congratulations!” He said warmly and kissed me on the corner of my mouth.
“Thanks sweetie, how about you come by work after noon, and I’ll see if I can get away.”
Rob and Kirk nodded, I said goodbye to them, and headed out to my car and went to work.
As I was driving, I couldn’t help but think about Rob. He was always affectionate, but never to that extent before. Inevitably, my thoughts turned to James, and how he was.
A got a nasty feeling that was sneakily close to guilt when I thought about the both of them, I couldn’t help but shake the feeling Rob wouldn’t be thrilled at me seeing James. Why, I wasn’t quite sure because he had certainly never shown any interest in me. Shaking my head to clear my thoughts I decided to just stop thinking about it all together for the moment.
