Hello everyone. This chapter covers a lot of topics, but it needed to move along a little, so I hope it turned out all right. Also, I am finally fulfilling a reviewers request for a little Bo jealousy. Even if it takes a while, I do try to work in as many as possible, so if you’re still reading this, I hope you like it.

Chapter 20

One Week Later

There were three piles of crap on the floor as I sorted through my closet to make room for Bo’s clothes. There was more than enough space in the giant walk in, but since I’d never had to share a closet before, things had sort of…spread out. Okay, to be honest, I was a bit of a slob when it came to this room. Everywhere else I was organized and neat, but this was the one and only place I ever let such behavior happen. Shoes would be kicked off, jackets thrown to the side and bags of clothes heaped in a pile. There were things I’d never even taken out of the package on the shelves. So, I decided it would be a good idea to call it a rare, early day at work and surprise her by organizing my shit.

Bo would have one entire side. I knew it would be welcomed because apparently, she was meticulous when it came to her suits and gowns and though she hadn’t said anything yet, I read her silently appalled expression when she first set foot in the closet last week. Had I planned this moving in together thing better, I would have cleaned the area ahead of time, but as it stood, Bo did get to see one of my hidden secrets of shame and seemed she still loved me anyway. I’d seen some of her uglier moments, guess it was only fair that she experienced one of mine. That’s what this relationship stuff was all about right?

The sound of the front door and heels down the tiled hallway signaled Bo’s return. I scrambled to straighten as much as I could before she walked into the bedroom. The door swung open and her brief case hit the floor followed by the sigh of another long day over and done.
