Archie walked out of the hotel he had been staying at the past month. He had gotten a hold of an old friend named Jeff, and was going to stay at his house with him and his daughter. Jeff lived on a farm and Archie was going to work for him until he figured out his next move. He had the 100 grand he had stolen from the casino but he knew the owner was looking for him. He figured a farm in a small town of Ohio was the perfect place to hide.
Jeff was really a friend of Archie's late father and they had been best friends so Jeff wanted to help Archie. Archie and Jeff decided to keep Archie's past from Jeff's daughter, Jillian. She was a few years younger than Archie and worked in a diner down the road from the farmhouse. They had decided to change Archie's name. Jeff had access to having papers drawn up so Archie would have a driver's license, social security card and birth certificate but Jillian had no idea about her dad's dealings.
Archie lit up a smoke after he checked out of the hotel. He was sitting on the stairs while he waited for the dark grey pick up truck to pull in. He had never met Jillian before. His dad and Jeff hadn't done the best things in the past and had tried to keep their families in the dark. Jeff had met Archie simply because Archie's mom had passed away when he was a teen so he was always around his dad.
" Hey kid! What cha waiting for?" Jeff called out from the opened window of the truck. Archie smiled as he stood up.
" For you, old man!" He called out as he walked over to the truck. He tossed his bags into the bed then slipped into the cab. The two men shook hands after Archie closed the door.
" Let's get the business shit out of the way." Jeff handed over Archie's paperwork. " Your name is Andrew Nickolas. Some times you go by Drew sometimes Andrew." Archie nodded as he looked over the papers. Jeff started pulling away from the hotel. " Archie doesn't existence anymore. You have done work on farms in the mid west and have relocated to Ohio for a change. You are going to stay with my daughter and me. In exchange for my helping you, I have a job for you."
" And what's that?" Archie, the new Andrew, asked.
" I want you to watch over my daughter but you can't let her know that. I told her that you were a farmhand that was going to be living with us for a while. It's not uncommon for farm hands to live with the farmers so she didn't question it. She works midnights at a diner and I want you to start showing up there at night. I just want to make sure she is okay." Jeff said.
" Alright, I can do that." Andrew said.
" Oh and keep your hands off her. I know what my daughter looks like, I see the way men look at her. If I catch you in her bed, there will be a problem." Jeff said. Andrew laughed and rested his arm on the window sill.
" You don't have to worry about that. I'm swearing off women for while. One fucked me up bad last year and I need a break from them." He said.
" Good, then we have an understanding." Jeff said.
The drive to the farmhouse took an hour. Andrew had never seen Jeff's house and was surprised at how big it was. It stood three floors tall and was all white. Andrew looked out the window as Jeff stopped the truck. He turned it off and smiled at Andrew than. The wide front doors of the house opened and a petite girl walked slowly out and down the stone staircase.
" Well, looks like you get to meet my daughter now." Jeff said. " Come on, Andrew, welcome to your new house." Jeff said before he exited the truck. Andrew out go of the truck and walked around the bed and grabbed his bags as Jeff and his daughter greeted each other. They hugged then kissed cheeks quickly. " Andrew, come and meet my daughter." Jeff said . Andrew holstered the bags over his shoulders and walked to the stairs. " Jilly, this is Andrew, our new farm hand." Jeff's arm was hanging over her slender shoulders. Andrew smiled, dropped a bag down then held out his hand.
" Hey." He said. Jillian's hand was small in his but she shook it firmly.
" Hello." She said.
" Where you off too?" Jeff asked as he faced her. Andrew checked her out quickly.
She stood about 5 foot 1 inch and her hair was a dark brown and reached her lower back. She had dark blue eyes and a slender frame. Andrew guessed she weighted about 115 pounds. Her faded jeans fit her nice, hugging her ass and hips and her tank top was low cut and it drew his eyes right to her cleavage. He ran his hand through his short brown hair and forced himself to look away.
" I'm meeting Britney for lunch." Her voice was soft and light.
" You work tonight?" Jeff asked.
" Why do I put my schedule on the fridge if you're not going to look at it?" Jillian asked with a fake annoyance. Jeff smiled.
" Look, you maybe be 29 but I'm still your dad and you aren't going to take that tone with me." He mock scolded his daughter. Andrew watched the exchange between of them.
" Dad! Don't you know you are never supposed to tell someone a girl's age?" She asked. He smiled.
" Oh do forgive me." He said. She smiled than.
" I will think about it. I got to go." Jillian faced Andrew. " I put some towels in your room and your sheets and blankets are clean. The bathroom is stocked with guy soaps." She said with a slight roll of her eyes.
" I saw that!" Jeff explained. " Jillian had put some peach scented soap in there for you and I had to tell her you weren't going to want to smell like fruit." Andrew smiled as she shrugged.
" It's just soap, I didn't realize there was a problem." She said.
" It's cool. I would have used it." Andrew said. Jillian hit her dad in the stomach as she looked at him.
" See! He would have used it!" She said. Jeff shook his head but smiled.
" He would have used it but that doesn't mean he would have like it." Jeff said.
" Alright Dad, well I have to go." She looked at Andrew then. " Nice to meet you." She said as she started pass him.
" Yeah, nice to meet you too." He said.
