Flexible

Connor heard the knock on his door and pulled it open. He wasn’t really waiting for Melissa by the door. Just in the kitchen close by…staring at the wall. He was doomed, he knew it.

“You found the place okay, I see,” he said.

“Hard to miss it. Remember, I’m a realtor. Once you gave me the address I knew exactly where you were, though I didn’t expect you to be in the penthouse.”

She was looking around the open layout. “Go on, say it. I know you’re dying to.”

She burst out laughing. “I think you might have multiple personalities. Never once did you mention industrial in describing what you wanted in a house and yet I’m looking at exposed brick, and metal ductwork on your...what is it, twelve-foot ceilings?”

“Thirteen. And this is a condo, not a house. I’m looking for a house, so I want something different. Something warmer.”

She nodded her head. “Well then, show me around and tell me what you do like here, or what you’d like to see in your house.”

He brought her a few steps toward the kitchen. “White kitchen.”

“Okay. At least that matches what you said before.” She looked down at his floors. “These are dark hardwood, you said you wanted lighter.”

“I want light and bright. I want a beach feel to the house. I want it modern. I’m flexible.”

“Flexible, huh? That’s not the impression I got that first day. Were you just messing with me?”

“Maybe I was trying to prolong our time together a touch. I thought you knew that, but you kept writing everything down and I wasn’t sure how to stop myself. It was kind of adorable.”

She’d set her purse down on his kitchen counter and turned to slip her arms around his waist. “You’re lucky I’m in a good mood right now. You were making my job harder than it needed to be.”

“Please. There is limited inventory, I know that. You’re showing me anything with the potential for a beach if it didn’t have one, regardless of the inside.”

“True. But at least I know now what you’re used to and I’ll have a better idea going forward.”

He laid his lips on hers. “How was dinner with your father?”

“Great as always. We talked about you.”

“Should I be worried?” he asked, stepping away from her and pulling her toward the living room. The view of the whole condo could be seen from there with the exception of his bedroom, two bathrooms, and an office. He wasn’t sure he wanted to show her the bedroom, knowing he might not be strong enough to resist the temptation.

“Not at all. My father is the most important person in my life. I told you he pretty much raised me alone. I’d be lost without him.”

“So what does he think about me?” Would he have another obstacle in his way?

“He hasn’t met you and doesn’t know you so he can’t give me an opinion on that. But our conversation was enlightening. I realize that maybe I’m being harder on you than I should be.
