Chapter Seventeen

“I bought a house.”

“What? Are you kidding me?” Micky’s voice conveyed to Chris every bit of the surprise that he was feeling. “When?”

“I closed on it two days ago.”

Chris was finding it a little hard to believe too. The opportunity had presented itself, and he had jumped on it. The right price, great neighborhood, and everything he was looking for. The agent he was working with came highly recommended by his teammates, and everything had just fallen into place like it was meant to be.

He told Micky, “It’s pretty cool. Four bedrooms, three and a half baths, and a pool.”

“A pool? Really?”

“Yeah, man. It actually gets hot here in the summer. People go swimming. It’s a thing.”

Micky was having a hard time imagining Chris being a homeowner. “This is crazy. When did you start house hunting? And, no offense, but why?” Before Chris could answer, Micky added, “Oh, shit, is this because of Paige? Are you going to tell me you bought a house for her?” Chris was quiet for a moment, and Micky said, “Holy shit, you did. I can’t fucking believe it. Becks, did you have her pick it out? Or is this something else she doesn’t know about? Like the fact that you’re planning on marrying her?”

“Hey, a house is an excellent investment. Maybe I’m just starting to act like a grown-up, you asshole.” There wasn’t any real heat behind his words.

“Damn.” Chris could hear Micky laughing under his breath. “I’m going to have to meet this woman who’s turning you into a responsible adult without even realizing it. Are you still planning on bringing her for Christmas?”

“Yes, definitely. I can’t wait for you to meet her. She’s smart and kind. And gorgeous. Did I mention gorgeous?”

Micky chuckled, saying, “You might have mentioned that detail. Once or twice. So, when are you going to tell her about this house?”

“I’m going to call her after I talk with you. There’s no furniture, and the stuff from my apartment would fill like a room and a half, so I’m not entirely sure how I’m going to handle any of this.”

Micky thought for a moment and said, “You could hire someone to furnish it. Like an interior designer or something like that. However that works. Although I wouldn’t have the first idea how to go about finding one.” He laughed out loud. “It’s not like I have any interest in become a responsible adult any time soon. You’re on your own with that shit.”

Chris grinned. “That’s a good idea. I’ll ask around and see what I can come up with. And how irresponsible are you being, anyway? Still just sowing your wild oats amongst the puck bunnies, or are you seeing someone?”

“Shit, Becks, just because you’re settling down with one woman doesn’t mean anyone else needs to.” Micky was grinning too. “Wild oats exist to be sown. That is the way of nature. But, to answer your question, there isn’t anyone in particular. That doesn’t mean I’m lonely, though, if you know what I mean.
