By the time the next appointment arrived they sent them away, there was no need to interview them. Drew was ecstatic, Shane was satisfied, Carmen was pleased and Jenny was finally content. She would move in in a week’s time.

Chapter 22

Carmen yawned and padded out of the bedroom, she was used to waking up before Shane on a work day, and used to being the first one in the kitchen too because Jenny stayed in her bedroom for a few hours, working on her writing, which she didn’t have a lot of time for anymore. The only time it was up in the air where weekends, usually it was Jenny up and about first then.

That’s why Carmen was surprised to find Drew at the kitchen table, she had almost forgotten she moved in yesterday. The girl already had coffee and was reading the paper, she looked at home and it made Carmen happy.

“Hey Drew, wow, your up early.”

“I could say the same for you, especially when you have that lovely girlfriend of yours waiting for you in the bedroom,” Drew replied with a silky smile. *****. It had been up for debate all week, their number one choice for topic actually. They had even gone as far as to accept bets. Shane said straight girl who would find out she was ***** later on. Jenny said straight, flat-out. Carmen had said *****. That was 10 extra bucks for her.

She shrugged, “Shane likes to sleep late on workdays, till the last second actually, I’m just used to getting up before her so I can wake her.”

Drew nodded.

“Oh!” Carmen slapped her forehead and Drew stopped, mid sip. “Don’t have anymore of that cheap ***** coffee!” She reached for the cup and Drew let her have it, a perplexed look on her face. “We’re going to The Planet this morning, you have to meet everyone.” In case Drew felt a little over-whelmed Carmen tried to ease her worries and keep her informed.

“We have breakfast at The Planet at least 4 days a week. The entire gang comes, you’ll be welcomed into the family almost immediately, and you should be prepared because, well we stick together,” Carmen smiled and Drew thought she understood the depth of the relationship, but really she still had no idea.
