Jessie chuckled “Of course. In-N-Out it is.” They spent the majority of the ride to the famous burger joint chit-chatting and talking about family gossip. Once they secured the goods they made their way to Jessie and Greg’s home where they dumped their food on the kitchen bar and began to feast. “Mmmm this was such a good idea, Josh!” Jessie said taking a large bite of her burger. “I’m full of them” Josh retorted “and you should pass that information along to my mother.” Speaking of” Jessie began “did you ever text her that you landed?”
Josh looked back at her sheepishly. “Please text your mother so we have some peace and quiet while you’re here, for both of us.” Jessie giggled as she said it. Josh swiftly pulled out his phone and began typing up a message assuring his mother that he arrived safely, and that him and aunt Jessie had just eaten. “There, done” Josh said looking at Jessie. “You’re going to thank me for that later” Jessie chuckled in response. Jessie looked at the remnants of the food in front of her “I don’t know about you, but I feel like I can barely move.” Josh nodded in agreement and clutched at his stomach.
“In spite of our mutual discomfort I should probably show you around the place, and most importantly… your room for while you’re here.” Jessie stood and began to clear the remnants of their food from the table. “Awesome, let’s do it” josh responded excitedly. Jessie proceeded to tour Josh around the the two-level home. They started in the backyard where she showed off the pool and made their way into the reconverted basement which was now a gym enthusiasts dream. “Wow” josh exclaimed seeing all the equipment “I can see how you stay in such good shape” he said laughing lightly. “Impressed are we?” his aunt jested “The best part is back there.” She pointed as she said it. Josh walked down the small hall and turned to the right where it looked like what used to be a storage room had been converted into a sauna. “You have your own sauna?” he asked incredulously. “I may never leave.” He laughed as he said it, but part of him was serious. He was already looking forward to working out here.
“I’m glad you like it,” Jessie smiled and added ” and it’s available for your use whenever you’d like, but be careful as it does get quite hot in there.” Josh looked down the small hall back at her still wearing that sundress she was in when he arrived and his eyes drifted up and down his aunt’s body as he let out “I bet” softly and then hoping she didn’t hear him or notice his lingering eyes.
“Here, let me show you where you’ll be sleeping.” Jessie called and Josh followed. They made their way to the second floor where Jessie showed him a sizeable room directly down the hall from hers and his uncle’s bedroom. “Here you are.” She held out both hands exaggeratively. “It’s not the Westin, but it should do while your here.”
“No, it’s absolutely perfect, and thanks again for everything.”
“It’s absolutely no problem, Josh. Honestly, I’m so excited you’re here. Its been so long and it can get kind of lonely with your Uncle traveling. It’s a big house for little old me” she chuckled. “Well, anyway, I figure your probably tired with all the travel so how about you make yourself at home, and then tomorrow maybe we can go for a hike or something? There’s plenty of great spots around here.”
