I stumbled out to the kitchen in my boxers late the next morning to find a tall, thin white guy with a manbun, tank top, and tight shorts looking through Anderson's refrigerator. He had earbuds in his ears and was bopping his head as he took containers out of it.
I backed away slowly and went to find Anderson at work in his office. He was sitting at his desk wearing a pair of my boxers on bottom and a pressed button-up blue shirt with a gold tie on top. I went into his office, but he held up a finger to tell me to wait.
I went back to look at the man in the kitchen. He smiled and helped himself to the chips Anderson got for me. He wasn't interested in conversation. I nodded at him and went back to the office.
Anderson was still on his business call, but this time he waved me over. He said some things in Chinese and then finally hung up.
"Did you get breakfast? I left you a plate in the microwave. I forgot how much sleep teens need!" Anderson joked.
"There is a hipster dude with a manbun in your kitchen. He's eating the chips!" I whispered even though the guy was listening to music and was three rooms away.
"Sasha. He's my housekeeper. He comes every two weeks, but if you stay here longer then I'll get him more often. He's good at deep cleaning!" Anderson said.
"He's kind of cute. I tried to talk to him but he had his earbuds in. He just smiled at me and ate my chips!" I raised my hands in confusion.
"Cute? No, no! We are not getting into another threesome. We already traumatized Marcus, and it's hard to find a good housekeeper in this city. Do not fuck my Russian." Anderson teased.
"We need to never speak of that again. Besides, the guy didn't even talk to me. He's too focused on eating all the snacks!" I laughed.
"Sasha is Russian. His English is very basic and he gets embarrassed easily. I usually type up what I want done, use the translator website, and print it out for him. Are you mad about the chips? I can get you more. I usually feed him when he cleans. He's very skinny." Anderson got up from his desk and came in for a hug.
"No! It's cool. I just got freaked out. People just show up out of nowhere in this house. I'm not used to that." I hugged Anderson and then rubbed my hands down to his ass.
"I get lonely when I'm here by myself. I like when people just drop in for random stuff. Maybe with you here I can set some boundaries though. I want you to be comfortable here. I want this to be your home too." Anderson rubbed his cheek against my shoulder as I massaged his bottom.
"We should go to the park. It's Saturday. Let's go run at the big one." I wanted to get out. It was beautiful sunshine out there, and this time of year there's usually a lot of gray clouds covering everything.
"I have to work, baby. I have two more meetings this morning." Anderson looked up at me with a sad face. "But! Your dorm building is going to be open this afternoon for residents so we can go pick up your stuff."
"I can get my stuff?" I had honestly not even thought about it in the last week. Life was comfortable here with him.
"I made an appointment from 2 to 2:30 this afternoon. Your building wasn't damaged, but some of the others were so they are offering credit on your student account if you want to give it up... you'd get a new room once all the dorms are back open. What do you think?" Anderson put his hand on my chest and rubbed my pecs.
"Give up my dorm? I don't know... I'd be living here, and... we just met." Giving up my private place felt like a big decision.
"It's voluntary right now, but I'd hate to think of someone sleeping in a shelter when you have a perfectly good bed here. It would only be temporary until things open up... but it could be like a trial for us to share the condo." Anderson pushed his ass back against my hands where I was gripping him.
