Page 30 of My Unexpected Mate

He was in the dining room, and he was just loosening a board.

“Aria texted,” I said. “They are at Mike’s.”

“Good,” he got off the floor. “Hey, man, how about we order a pizza. I’m hungry. We can continue later. If there is nothing underneath this one, then there is only the living room left.”

“Yeah, great. I’m also hungry,” I answered, getting the phone out of my pocket. “I will help you check underneath this one while we wait for the pizza.”

It took us about 20 minutes to remove the floorboards but there was nothing underneath.

“Fuck,” I muttered.

“It has to be in the living room,” Nick sighed. “Don’t worry. We will find it.”

We put the floorboard back just when the doorbell rang, and our pizza arrived.

Nick went to answer the door and I got us a couple of beers from the fridge.

When I sat at the table, my phone rang.

“Aria says she is fine,” I told Nick.

“I wish she would just go home,” he sighed.

“I know. Me too.”

We ate in silence. I was too tense to talk, and I figured Nick feels the same. One of the reasons I love my friendship with Nick is being able to not talk and it wouldn’t get weird.

“So, Annie is nice. Very hot,” he broke the silence.

She was hot. Long blonde hair, brown eyes, nice tits and an ass to die for. She was taller than Aria. And she was funny and outgoing. I liked her.

“Yeah, she is,” I nodded. “Are you thinking about asking her out?” I smiled.

Nick frowned. “Nah, man. I was thinking maybe you would like her.”

I was surprised. She was totally his type. I mean I liked girls like Annie too, but I would think he would be all over her by now.

“I don’t know. I mean I like her. So maybe,” I said, sipping my beer. “But I don’t want to hurt her. Or Aria. And she would be hurt if Annie is hurt. And you know I don’t date.”

“Yeah. Neither do I. Maybe it’s better we don’t do anything.”

I smiled and picked up my plate.

“Are you done?” I asked him.

“Yes,” he said and handed me his plate. “I’ll start checking the living room.”

He got up and walked out of the kitchen while I loaded the dishwasher.

I went to the living room and started checking the floorboards.

I got another text from Aria saying she is fine.

We checked everything and found nothing. I was losing my mind.

“How about under the couch?” Nick said.

I looked at him and got excited.
