Keegan almost drops her dentures—as my mother would say—when she sees Hunter and whoever the seriously bleached blonde is sprawled bare-ass on the bed.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFRcdFcVgQQ
At least Keegan is getting the full picture on Hunter up front. Quite literally, as the asshat is lying on his back on the bare mattress, with nothing left to the imagination. 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKCsVUZZhUb
The blonde is curled up next to him, snoring softly, her mouth open and a line of drool on her chin. I have no idea who she is. I can't remember seeing her before, but that's no surprise. We get new people every weekend.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBliKJMYbK4
And she certainly looks like Hunter's type: hot and "breezy"—his slang for an easy broad.
Why he steered her into Keegan's room instead of his own last night, I have no clue. Maybe he already had a girl, or two, passed out in his room downstairs.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRoChG0WM23
I wouldn't put it past him.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡulkVIxDIDi
Our new roomie is just standing there, gawking at them. She gives me this wide-eyed look like she doesn't know what to do next.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUTW9tiaPF
There's something quirky and coltish about this girl that I like. She's got legs that go on for days, just the right amount on top to fill out the little black tank she's wearing, and long, glossy brown hair that I immediately want to bury my face in.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIGt2QX8SKw
Physically, she's definitely my type.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbWmd0hpBg9
And, assuming my man radar is in good working order, the attraction between us is mutual. Keegan wants me; I can feel it.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8eYz1SYaY3
You'd think I would've learned my lesson about hooking up with housemates, after the whole Kendra drama. But what the hell. We're all adults. And I really would like to get to know her better.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6LZu7Molk6
Thing is, though, when she took off her sunglasses in the living room and I saw her eyes, I almost choked because I instantly thought of another girl on the other side of the world with very similar eyes: Same color, same shape, same old-soul expression.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbhejY6PACv
It freaked me out. Spotting the drumstick on the floor gave me a reason to bend over for a moment so I could hide my face and get my shit together. It's not the first time since I became a civilian I've suddenly been on the verge of tears.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4tGKcTOK9
Maybe I'm looking to see that other girl in other people. Maybe I can't let go of her memory. Or of the memory of those lost because of her. Because of me, actually.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeJQ8zP1CLg
I walk to the bed and twist Hunter's big toe hard to wake him up. At the same moment, Max runs into the room, his nails clicking on the wood floor. He goes straight to the bed and sticks his cold nose into the blonde's nicely toned ass.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpS2sIAYbey
Yowling, Hunter and the blonde try to sit up at the same time, and the blonde rolls off the bed and hits the floor, which gets Max barking, thinking she wants to play.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBHQ6W6VTIY
"Get that fucking dog away from me!" she screams, jumping to her feet while trying—pointlessly—to cover her privates with her hands. 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34Fxh92hxK
Max keeps barking and rushes toward her, rearing up playfully. And she kicks him, sending him scrambling behind me like a coward. For a German Shepherd, the dog's no canine cop.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMvGGCKsoM
"Hey!" I yell at her. "Don't kick the dog. He's just trying to play."205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqvvGhc6ZJJ
She grabs her clothes off the floor and runs into the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPgpH73jZb
Hunter is cradling his head in his hands. "Jesus, Blue," he moans, "what do you think you're doing?"205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzEEYcIAvmP
"Seriously, dude?" I snarl. "Your girl just fucking kicked my dog!"205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zrFZyioWH
I pick up Hunter's boxers and throw them at him.205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYHy1hJ2cp
"And our new roomie here," I go on, gesturing toward Keegan, "just had to walk into her room and see your nasty bare asses all over her bed. What the hell are you doing in here, anyway?"205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAK8njeWjwu
Hunter clutches his underwear in one hand and squints painfully at the sun pouring through the window. Then he turns to Keegan, giving her a cocky smirk and a sloppy salute. 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiYWV6VPbWu
"Hi sweetheart," he drawls, running his eyes all over her. "I gotta say, you are definitely an improvement over the last girl who was in this room. Welcome."205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzMNgoi35Y
"Get the fuck out so she can move in!" I yell, cursing under my breath as I move toward the bed, ready to grab the jackass by the hair and yank him off. 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYgZzSXLfCz
I don't outweigh him by much, but I'll bet I've got better fighting skills than he does. 205Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIv8WOl16Ah
Hunter evades my grasp, rolling off the bed. Then, still naked, he throws a flirtatious grin at Keegan as he strolls past her and out the door.
