Chapter Six

Learning New Things

Try as he might, Mischa couldn’t shake the image of a little brown haired, brown-eyed boy struggling to care for two aging hippies addicted to drugs and living in a school bus. That’s not going to happen to you . He thought of the black ebony and bone box on his coffee table. It probably held a couple of hundred dollars worth of pot and paraphernalia, sure. But the box itself had cost him more, as had the table it sat on.

I’m not addicted to that shit. It’s just fun and relaxing, something to do with my friends. He pushed the thought aside and gathered up the breakfast dishes. As he rinsed the plates and bowls in hot running water, he remembered the intensity of Donovan’s brown eyes as he made the statement, “I can’t go through losing another loved one like that.”

What did that mean? Was Donovan claiming that he was in love with Mischa after only a day of knowing him? He carefully placed the rinsed dishes in the machine with last night’s dinner dishes and added detergent. No, that would be impossible. Mischa found Donovan highly attractive, and most likely Donovan reciprocated the attraction, but love?

The machine slammed shut and with a twist of the dial, purred smoothly in the background.

Next issue—laundry.

Sitting at the breakfast bar he Googled laundry and began skimming articles. Most of them agreed on several key issues that made sense, but many just pimped their own favorite laundry products. As he flipped from article to article, making sure he’d got the basics down, an inner voice nagged at him.

So if you’re not an addict, why not give it up? Donovan doesn’t like it, doesn’t want it in his house, and if it means nothing to you anyway, why not indulge him?

He slammed the lid of his computer down with more force than necessary—maybe more than was healthy for the machine, which he could not afford to replace any longer. He paused and patted it remorsefully.

I have the right to do as I please. I’m not hurting anyone by smoking up a bit with my friends. He marched up the stairs, pausing in the wide hallway. Hmmm, this space had potential. He could picture it as a Grecian lounge with column styled plant stands and mahogany bookcases, a divan or Roman couch or two. Four doors led off the hallway, and he could tell the open one led to Donovan’s room because clothing covered every inch of floor visible through the doorway.

Sighing, he moved over to the room. Somehow, knowing the perfect specimen of manhood who’d left here an hour ago looking all GQ and sexy was in reality a slob, who apparently would rather buy new clothes than launder his old ones, melted his heart a little more. Scooping up piles and walking back and forth up and down the stairs, he wondered if those new plans for the modifications to the house included the addition of a laundry chute upstairs.
