Moments In Time

Chapter 8

She was in the bathroom when he began to look around. He'd been leaving some of his stuff over at her hotel, sleeping there with her, spending pretty much every waking moment with her. Why should she have to waste money on this hotel when he had a house that he rarely used? Yes, it would be perfect! He was gathering his stuff up when she emerged from the bathroom. He told her to pack her things up which she cocked her eyebrow at him but finally relented when he didn't say any more than that. They packed up her car and he told her to follow him. She couldn't help but wonder where they were going, especially since he handed the hotel clerk the keys to her room!

Devin was curious to know where he was leading her. About 15 minutes later they rolled up this paved road that she didn't know was there. There was still enough light to see by and she noticed the curvy driveway was lined with tall oak trees. They came to a stop while he used a garage door opener from his saddle bag to open the garage. He pulled in then motioned for her to park as well. He helped her get all the bags from her camaro then opened the front door.

"It's been a while since I've been here. Sorry for the mess." He stated

"What is this place?" She questioned, setting her bags down by the black leather L-shaped couch

"This is my house. Which you will be staying at from now on." He told her

"Oh, really?!" She exclaimed, playfully placing her hands on her hips

"There's no sense in you spending money on a hotel when I have this place." He quietly replied, slipping his arms around her and pulling her close to him

His phone rang so she looked around the room. The floor was a tan carpet which looked kind of plushy, the walls were a cherry wood panelling, the furniture was wood and matched the walls. Everything was leather and looked to be a bit dusty. Perhaps she would give the place a good cleaning tomorrow while he's at work! The kitchen desperately needed a good scrub down but was otherwise pretty adequate considering the owner.

She wasn't sure he could cook anything that required more effort than putting it in the microwave. Feeling adventurous, she opened the cabinets. What she found scared her just a little bit. Nothing but paper plates, dust, and a box of cereal. She opened the box up and discovered it was stale, just like she thought it would be.

She walked down the hallway, finding there was a bathroom on the left side. Directly across from it was a guest bedroom although it was completely empty. On the left of the bathroom was a linen closet, across from it was the thermostat. The master bedroom was at the far end of the hall on the left, with another guest room across from it. The carpeting continued into all the rooms except the bathroom where there was white and blue checkered tile. She didn't venture into the master bedroom but figured it had an attached bath to it.

"Devin?" She heard Tig call out from the living room

She quickly made her way to where he still stood, "Yes?"

"I have to run out for a bit. Make yourself comfortable in the master bedroom. I'll bring drinks back. If you need anything, call me! I shouldn't be too long, ok?" He stated

She looked up at him and gave a sad smile. It had to be part of the MC.

"Will you bring back some real food for breakfast tomorrow? Your stale cereal just will not cut it!" She giggled

"I'll see what I can do." He smiled, hoping he hadn't angered her

He was about to walk out the door when he felt her grab him from behind. He turned around and found her mere inches from him, you're not leaving me without a kiss' she whispered in his ear. He grinned down at her before crushing his lips to hers. It took a few minutes but he finally pulled away and reluctantly headed off to his "real job". He hated leaving her there alone especially since he hadn't even shown her around but duty calls. She locked the door right after she heard the rumbling of his Dyna start up.

As tired as she was, she wanted to get all the bags at least into the bedroom before she took a shower and got settled for bed. She would have set the coffee pot to auto brew but he didn't have any coffee in any cabinet nor a coffee maker. Sighing, she took a piece of paper and a pen and made a shopping list for tomorrow. Not only did she need to do a thorough cleaning of the house but she needed to do a whole lot of shopping for it too! Oh well, isn't this what her "job" was in the "relationship"? She wasn't sure what her title would be in the MC world but she would make damn sure she took good care of Tig while she could!
