“Okay...” Jake leans over the table, his eyes on me teasing. “Are you going to finish that bed you designed? We’ve got the house now, so you can actually make it, you know...”

Mia’s parents left earlier today and Mia and Dylan are grocery shopping. It seems to be something that they’re good at, staying on top of how much food is in the house, and plan what we’ll need for the rest of the week. Mal is upstairs in our room, I’m not even sure what he’s doing there, and Elly is playing in the living room, I can hear her happy chatter from here.

“Why are you so interested in it?” Ever since he saw my design, he’s kept asking about it. “What’s it to you?”

He shrugs, grinning. “I just think it’s cool. And, you know, we do need a better bed, but mostly, I think it’s cool. I’ve never had a home-made bed or anything like that. It just sounds cool. I don’t know.”

I roll my eyes at him. “City boy.” Shaking my head I can’t help smiling. He looks almost childlike in his excitement about the idea, which feels good to my ego when the others take me making things for granted.

He smirks. “I’m good with being a city boy, if it means you’ll make the bed.”

“I’ll look at it. I only had a rough sketch, I have no idea if it’s even workable. If we’ll have enough space in the room for it and if we can even get everything up there...” I sigh and find Jake beaming at me. “Stop looking at me with that silly grin. I’m not promising anything.”

“I know.” He stands up. “But you’ll think about it, that’s good enough for me.” Then he goes over to the fridge, opening and looking inside. “How long have they been gone?” He’s like a kid sometimes, so easily moving to other subjects.

“Why?”

He shrugs. “Just curious if I should eat something now or wait for them?”

“Just wait for them. They should be back soon.” Then I get up too. “Want to come with? Since you keep badgering me about this bed situation, let’s measure the upstairs room properly.”

“Cool.” Grinning, he already walks to the stairs. “I was thinking...”

I glare at him, pushing his shoulder. “No thinking from you. I’m not doing anything extra extravagant because you thought it up.”

He winks. “I was just thinking that we’d also need good desks if we’ll get a home office. It’s handy, having our own master carpenter here.” And before I can push at him again, he darts up the stairs, laughing.

“I’ll show you ‘master carpenter’,” I grumble, rolling my eyes, but when I glance up, Jake’s eyes are all dark and he’s hard, his jeans are tight. “You’ve got to be kidding me... Really?”

He pulls up a shoulder, grinning. “Sorry, reflex.”

Seriously, some of these guys... Sure, great compliment, but why is it always when the situation doesn’t call for it? I grab my ruler and a notepad from my box in the back and then also go up the stairs.
