“Especially one we rarely have time to drive out to.”
“So you’re going to live here? Really? That’s awesome after you did so much work on the place.”
“And it’s about twice as big as our apartment,” Jackson said. “In fact, we have so much extra room, we were thinking about getting a roommate.”
He looked directly at me when he said that, and suddenly, tension filled the space between the four of us.
“A roommate?” I repeated slowly.”
“Yes,” Jackson confirmed, and the others nodded. “It has to be a roommate because, well, there’s this woman we all like, but it’s too soon to ask her to live with us. We’ve barely known her for two weeks. But… we figured we could ask her to be our roommate.”
My throat was too dry to speak, so Reid took over. “We know it’s too soon, Penny. But the thing is… this feels right to us. To all three of us. But it’s a Catch-22 type of situation. We can’t know for sure if it’s right until we all spend a lot more time together. But we can’t do that if we’re all busy working and spread out around the Chicago suburbs. So… we were hoping you’d become our roommate.”
I cleared my throat. “Because it’s too soon to live together… but it’s not too soon to become roommates?”
“Exactly,” Hunter said with a smile, not a smirk. “But there’s a catch. There are only three bedrooms, you see.”
I nodded. “I did notice that.”
Jackson got off the absurdly tiny chair and crawled over to sit in front of me. “So, would you be willing to share a room with one of us?”
I thought it over and then shook my head. Three sets of even, white teeth disappeared as the smiles left their faces. But then I smirked. “But I’d be willing to share a room with all of you.”
“That works for me,” Reid said, and he pulled me into an embrace. And then Jackson got on the bed and hugged me from behind. I reached a hand out and squeezed tight when Hunter grabbed it.
I didn’t know what the future held with these three men, but I wanted so badly to find out.
And if things worked out, maybe we’d live here for a very long time. And maybe this amazing loft bedroom would eventually belong to a little boy or a little girl.
A tear slid down my face as I realized that if I got pregnant, the baby would be related to all of us. One of the men would be the father, and the other two the uncles.
That seemed almost too good to be true.
I couldn’t wait to see what the future held for us.
