“Make yourself at home,” Adrian urged as we walked through his front door.

I paused to take in his house, impressed by what I found. Although my mom spent a fortune hiring designers every two years to make sure the family home was a showcase, Adrian's house put hers to shame. It was about a thousand square feet larger than my childhood home with an open floor plan and vaulted ceilings. The gourmet kitchen with marble countertops and gleaming stainless steel appliances was state of the art, and the furniture could have come straight out of a magazine spread for a contemporary bachelor pad.

“I'll feed Duke while you figure out where you'd like to spread out your school stuff. Feel free to use the dining room table.” He jerked his thumb over his shoulder to point at the room to the right of the entryway. “It's a little formal for my tastes, so I haven't used it yet.”

I peeked into the room and had to agree that the oak pedestal table and upholstered chairs didn’t seem like something Adrian would pick out for himself. “Why’d you buy the set if you don’t like it?”

“I’m not the one who picked it out.” He shook his head as I followed him into his kitchen. “The interior designer Jen hired wasn't a fan of my request to turn it into a gaming room. Since I was short on time, I finally told her to put whatever the hell she wanted to in there, and that’s what I ended up with.”

“That’s just...so wrong on so many levels,” I sputtered.

He shrugged his broad shoulders as though it didn’t bother him in the least. “It isn't entirely her fault. I wasn’t the easiest client to deal with because I was frustrated with the whole process. If I’d been a little more patient and hadn’t mouthed off, the room would still be empty, and I wouldn’t need to get rid of a dining room set I never wanted so I can set up my game room in there.”

“You’re way nicer than I would be in the same situation.” Not that I’d find myself stuck with thousands of dollars of furniture I didn’t really want since the stuff in my apartment barely cost me a grand total of eight hundred bucks.

“Don’t let him fool you. He isn’t as nice as he seems,” Jen warned as she walked through the door that led to the garage. She was carrying several bags of groceries, and Adrian hurried over to take them from her. “Or else he wouldn’t have gotten me out of bed so early in the morning for random stuff like spinach, asparagus, feta, and goat cheese.”

“Uh, yeah...that’s totally my fault. Sorry,” I mumbled, my cheeks turning pink.

“Well, crap. Now I’m the one who needs to apologize,” Jen muttered with a frown. “Adrian knows I’m a morning person, and he pays me very well to run errands for him. He’s also cool with me giving him a hard time even though he’s my boss.
