The Space in Between

Chapter Ten

Harlow Cole

I'm not even going to lie and say that this weekend wasn't a fucking bliss, to stay in and sleep in his comfortable bed. I was sad to even leave but I had shit I needed to do before I went back to work.

"Ok, so this one is a one bedroom with a balcony looking over Denver."

I nodded my head as Jay and I walked further into the townhome. He insisted on coming with me to open houses today, this was not a casual thing for two people who were just fucking. I often tell myself that the sweet gestures and conversations we have mean nothing, because he nor I were looking for something more.

"How much is the rent?" I asked.

This townhome was beautiful, marble floors, a walk in closet, and an island in the kitchen.

"$2500."

I nodded, that was something I could afford.

"I'll take it." I said.

She nodded before walking away leaving Jay and I alone.

"So you think this is the one?" He asked stuffing his hands into his pocket.

"Yes, it's small and cute. Since it's only me now I don't need all that space." She said.

"So you're moving because the apartment is too big?" He asked.

No, I'm moving because to many memories of my failed relationship with Jason.

"Yes." I said.

"You're a horrible liar gorgeous." He shook his head.

"Whatever." I said waving him off.

The real estate agent came back and we began the paper work before setting a move in date. We walked to his car in a comfortable silence, he helped me inside before he got into the drivers seat.

"So should we set up meetings...for when we want sex?" I asked.

He looked at me before looking at the road.

"That's boring." He chuckled.

I looked at him and smiled.

"How?" I asked facing him.

"It's predictable, unexpected sex is better." He said.

I nodded agreeing, with Jason we had sex every Friday...he thought it would be better to schedule it due to our work schedules. After sleeping with Jay, unexpected sex was 10xs better.

"So then how will we know when we want sex?" I asked.

"Hmm, well you can stay at my house on the weekends." He suggested.

"But that's the same as scheduling." I said.

"No is isn't you can come over to hang out and it could led to sex." He said.

"Let me find out you just want to spend time with me." I said.

"I do, even if we're not having sex. I don't mind tolerating you." He said.
