“How was your day?”

He shrugged. “Not bad, but not really good either.”

“Did Isaac do anything interesting?” We paused again so I could pull open the security door.

I’d never met any of his work friends, but they sounded like a fun group. Way more fun than my coworkers. And I lived for his stories about Isaac and his many adventures.

He glanced around like he was making sure we were alone as we carried the dresser through the main lobby. “Do you consider getting caught taking dick pics for your boyfriend in the work bathroom interesting?”

“Seriously?” I chuckled and hit the elevatorupbutton with my knee. “Didn’t he get caught doing that a few weeks ago too?”

“And a few times before that. He really needs to learn how to lock the door when he’s getting his freak on.”

“Who was the unfortunate soul who caught him this time?”

“Jesse.” He grinned. “I was on break when it happened.”

“Did you know Isaac was in there when Jesse walked in on him?”

His grin went wicked. “Maybe.”

The elevator dinged as it reached our floor, and the doors slid open. We waited as an older couple got off.

“You’re a brat. You know that?” I braced the dresser with my knee and pushed the button to my floor.

He blinked at me, his expression melting into one of pure innocence as the doors slid closed. “I have no idea what you mean.”

“Yeah, I’ve known you too long for that to work on me. You like being a shit-disturber.”

“Not my fault they give me so much shit to disturb.” He furrowed his brow. “Ew, no. That didn’t come out right.”

“No, it did not. But tell me what happened when Jesse walked in on him. That can’t be the whole story.”

“I couldn’t see anything, but I heard Jesse tell Isaac to put his dick away if he wasn’t going to use it for pissing.”

I chuckled and shook my head. “Is it weird I feel bad for both of them? Poor dude was just trying to make some thirst traps, and instead his coworker gets an eyeful of his dick.”

The elevator stopped, and the doors slid open with another loudping.

“I think it’s hilarious,” Asa said as we carried the dresser down the hall.

“Of course you do.”

“It wouldn’t have happened if Isaac remembered to lock the door, so it’s kinda his fault.”

“And yours for not warning Jesse,” I pointed out as we stopped in front of my apartment. I braced the dresser with my leg again so I could get the door open.

“Would you have warned him?” he asked as we carried it into my apartment.

“No,” I conceded, pausing so he could kick the door closed behind him. “Your coworkers are way more interesting than mine. The biggest staff drama we’ve got going on right now is a shaker thief.”

“A shaker thief?” He shot me a confused look as we carried the dresser past the living room and into the small hallway at the back of my apartment.

“Yeah, like those cups for protein shakes with the springs in them.”

“Oh, right, of course.” He shot me a wry grin. “Thoseshaker cups. I definitely knew exactly what you were talking about. I was just confused because I’ve always called them ‘why the fuck is there a spring in this cup’ cups.”

I laughed and almost dropped the dresser when he paused in front of my bedroom door.
