Chapter 74 - Picture Perfect

"You going to be alright with me gone for a couple of days?" Adrian drew a circle on Brody's bare chest as they were lying down together in bed.

"Of course I'll be fine." Brody told him as laughed at Adrian's dramatics, "It will only be until Friday, and I'm sure we can manage without seeing each other for roughly 4 days."

The plan for the week was to drive down to Alex's wedding tomorrow, and stay the night for a farewell lunch to the happy couple.

The rest of the week was about spending time with Adrian's kinder grandparents, Abraham and June. Given that they were going away for Christmas, this was the last big gathering Sally had with her family before the year ended.

"I need to ask you for a big favour." Adrian looked up at Brody and waited to see that he was listening. "This is kind of a big step, but could you look after Ollie for the week?"

"Huh?"

"It's not like we can take Ollie with us for the whole week, and our plans for him fell through at the last minute." Adrian explained.

Whilst they were away, Ollie was going to stay at a highly approved doggy daycare centre. That was until they were fully booked, and Adrian didn't have anywhere else he could turn to.

Brody wanted to ask for more information about the little arrangement they were making. "Hmm, so how would this all work exactly?"

Adrian listed out a series of things that were important when looking after Ollie. "Nothing major, just go in and make sure he has enough food and water in his bowls. The occasional walk wouldn't hurt, and Ollie would really love the company - you know he doesn't like being lonely. And there's also making sure he doesn't crap anywhere inside. Oh, and make sure we don't get robbed or anything."

"That's a long list of demands," Brody laughed as he discovered that he was being fitted into being a house sitter as well as a dog sitter, "And how do I get in and do all of this exactly?"

Adrian suddenly remembered and rolled over in the bed, reaching towards the bedside table. "A spare key."

Brody looked at the metallic object that was placed in his hand. "And you're trusting a guy you've known for less than 3 months to do all of those things, and you're not worried I might steal shit or anything?"

"I really doubt that you've been playing the long game to hustle my family out of all of their possessions," Adrian joked. "Besides, if you really wanted anything, then you could have just asked."

"Oh really?" Brody's ears perked after hearing that, he began to tease Adrian as he started whispering him things.

Adrian playfully shoved Brody after hearing the explicit things that Brody was whispering him. "All serious now, can you help me with this?"

Brody gave Adrian a mock salute as he put the key back on the bedside table. "Of course I will. I'm one handed but I'll just have to adapt."

Adrian pulled Brody into a deep and meaningful kiss, graciously thanking his boyfriend for his help.

"You're the best."

Adrian gingerly skimmed Brody's thigh as he slowly used his fingers to walk up his muscular legs. "Given that I won't be around to be your butler starting tomorrow, what do you say about me giving you a little farewell present?"

Brody cheekily grinned as he felt Adrian place his hand on his groin. Things got more heated when Adrian helped slide Brody's underwear completely off, as he started to play with Brody Jr.

"Mmm, I kind of like the idea of you going away now."

"Adrian, hurry up! We're going to be late!" Sally yelled from downstairs as she was waiting with her sister.
