A Big No-No ( Mature 18+)

Chapter 6

I woke up later than planned thanks to my little "late night bail-out" of the boys and since Gregor had planned a lunch date before his shift it didn't leave me much time to get ready. I wasn't really looking forward to it, already suspecting that Gregor and I didn't have anything in common anymore but willing to leave friendship options open, I dressed casually in a pair of tight fitting jeans, with a tank-top and my black well-worn bike boots. The cut of the tank-top seemed a little low when surveying myself in my bedroom mirror, but then again when you were heavier busted everything seemed to be cut low, so I grabbed one of Z's flannels from the back of the kitchen chair and put it on. Rolling up the sleeves I knotted it around my waist cinching it in a bit to tighten the excess material from it being too large.

Grabbing my helmet, I strode out to get on my bike letting a smile of joy come on my face as I felt the engine rumble between my legs! I had missed this when living in the city, my bike was one of my passions and it took some hard-core begging to get Pops to let me ride my own bike but I fought hard for the freedom and I missed it when we were in the city but it wasn't safe there to be driving it and paying for parking or storage wasn't an expense that we had needed on top of the rest of our required expenses, like food and a roof over our head.

I found Gregor at the far end of the park that bordered the lake, parking my bike in the spot closest to where he had already set up a blanket and basket of food at the ready, I remove my helmet and hung it off my handle bars. Sitting down on the blanket he had laid out we started chatting about the old days as we made out way through the meal he had packed.  Fond memories of the times long passed and some not so fond ones I realized surprisingly it was easy to treat Gregor as a friend. The time passed quickly and before we knew it he had to leave to make his shift and I had to leave to meet Pops and Tawny at the house we were looking to purchase. I made my way back to my bike as he slowly followed me, I put my helmet on and swung my leg over my ride.

"I had a good time, Mea!"

"Me too Gregor! Let's do this against some time. Next time it is my turn to bring the grub."

"Sounds good! Drive safely!" And with a wave he headed to the police cruiser and climbed inside.

I texted Tawny and Pops to tell them I was on my way before revving the engine and setting it loose, I drove through the suburban streets to what I hoped would be my new home. As I pulled in the drive I parked in front of the garage, while Pops, Tawny and the realtor arrive minutes later parking on the street in front of the house.

The realtor unlocked the house and then gave us space to show Pops the house and discuss the possibilities with him. He smiled fondly at us as we gushed about what we want to do to each room, the painting, the furniture, and how we wanted to make it our home. As we finally came to the back yard, with the deck overlooking a fantastic fenced yard giving us complete privacy I turned to him, unable to wait to hear his opinion any longer, "So what do you think?"

"You know I was looking forward to having my girls at home a little longer, but I can see how much you already love this place. So as long as it passes inspection, I will okay the purchase."

"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!" We joyously screamed as we threw our arms around Pops.

"I'm going to send a couple of the boys that know electrical and plumbing over as well to have them have a look before the sale is final too."

"Okay, thanks Pops!" I grinned and said with another smile.

As we headed back inside to find the Realtor to give her the good news Pops' phone went off and from his response it didn't sound like good news. As he hung up the phone he made eye contact with the realtor, "As the girls said I have approved the purchase and will contact the bank in the morning to let them know. As long as it passes inspection then you can consider it sold."
