Ace of Spades
Chapter 53 – Settling In
Frost's POV
Amy remained at the hospital for one more day then the doctor said she could go home. In the meantime Amy said I could set my stuff up in her guest room. So far I managed to get what money and other valuables out of the house and to here so that they weren't taken when the house was sold. Along with that I had some clothes and a few needed things for me to... groom myself with per say with cause I know Amy has nothing for male hedgehogs to use when cleaning.
Setting up my alarm so I could work out tomorrow morning I set it for ten and took a quick look around the room to see almost everything was away and safely stored.
Smiling at this one moment of sadness free time I tried to come up with something to do. As I rested my arms back I realized I smelled like shit from being all over the city this past week. Guess I should start getting back on the right foot.
Standing up off the bed I took a short walk out into the hall and towards the bathroom door. Opening it with one hand I entered to find it pretty and girly. Feeling out of place here I let out a sigh and quickly pulled down my pants.
As my jeans rested between my legs I stepped out and lifted up my shirt.
As my shirt came over my head I turned to look at the trashcan.
"Wh...what?!" I shouted in shock as I bent down to look inside.
Placing two fingers on the small device I flipped it over not wanting to pick it up to see a minus sign.
In relief I let out a huge breath of hot air and straightened my back up.
Slowly placing my hands on the sink I looked down still feeling the problem I almost had next in my terrible life.
"Thank god Amy." I let out softly as I thought I was going to be a... never mind I need to get cleaned up.
Backing up from the sink, I grabbed and gently pulled off my boxers exposing my payload to the world.
Differently smelly like balls I turned on the water and got under the warm current.
"Ahhhhhh." I let out moans of joy and relief lightly as the water made my whole body calm and in peace.
Gently resting on the floor of the walk-in shower I looked up to allow the water to drench my quills forcing them to go in front of my eyes.
It felt great having my quills cover me I don't really know why but it made me feel free of care at that moment in time.
Moving my hands in my quills I pushed them back and put my head down between my legs.
I felt like I was going to pass out soon.
Slowly looking up I took the shampoo Amy had and rubbed some into my quills.
As the smell of strawberries filled my mane I stood back up and washed off anything that was left that still had an odor. As soon as I was done I shut off the water and opened the glass door to find a towel waiting for me by the door.
Grabbing it off the rail, I ran it through my quills and fur until I was dry and even to make sure nothing was left I like a dog; shook back and forth letting all the water fly onto the floor.
Feeling dumb and childish I wrapped up in the towel and grabbed my clothes to head back to the guest room where I would be for the time being with my girlfriend. Wow I just realized I would be living alone with my girlfriend.
Smiling on my way back into the room I got naked once again and jumped into some work clothes.
Grabbing my dirty clothes I walked back out into the hall and into the washroom to begin my wash. I hope Amy doesn't mind.
Turning on the washer I left it alone for the time it needed to get clean and headed outside to find my bike waiting for me as always.
Approaching the street bike, I took it's handles and kicked up the stand slowly walking it into the middle of driveway.
Getting it steady, I opened the garage and looked around to see if Amy had any tools to use. Lucky for me I found some hidden under some old boxes.
Going back to the lone bike, I got down on my back and slid under so that I could begin some needed repairs.
One Hour Later
Still under the bike I began my finishing touches and covered in oil and dirt I wasn't going to be surprised if I needed another shower. Now thinking about it I should have done this first. Whatever, I'm not the smartest but who is?
"Tap! Tap!"
My ears perked and immediately at the feeling of being tapped on the knee I jumped and drilled my forehead on the bike's metal frame.
"Awwwww!" I shouted as I slid out from under the bike.
Opening my mouth I shouted.
"What the fuck!? Was that necessary!?"
Looking up I stopped my rant to see officer Merk there.
"Yeah, best shut it Frost." He stated as I asked.
"What are you doing here?"
Looking at the house he replied with a question.
"This where you decided to stay?"
Looking at the house with him I replied.
"Yeah, why?"
"Nothing really, just wanted to know if you were selling the place."
"I am, and thanks for waiting not even a day to ask!"
Smiling he laughed and replied.
"Just watching out for you buddy."
"I'm not your buddy Merk, but thanks I guess."
Nodding he helped me up and asked.
"Is this your girlfriend's place?"
Nodding back I replied.
"She said I could stay with her till I could find my own place."
Smiling he replied.
"After all she did you, still trust her?"
"Of course I do. I love her Merk." I stated as he replied.
"I wish I could be like you but I guess being human doesn't allow me to see compassion for a woman that cheated on you."
"It's not that easy Merk I swear. I still believe she is the girl I loved from when we first met five years ago and I believe she is just in a rough spot right now."
Patting my shoulder he began to walk to his car.
"You take care with her and don't cause anymore trouble. I wouldn't want to arrest a second boyfriend for trying to kill her."
Chuckling I replied.
"I won't touch her."
"Good." Stated Merk as I went to turn around.
As I heard Merk get into his squad car I stopped and went to his window.
"Merk!?" I shouted as he looked at me through the glass.
Rolling down the window he asked.
"What is it Frost?"
"I...I just wanted to ask if you...! I mean if you feel that...! Ahhhh!"
"Relax Frost just say it." Ordered Merk as I tried to relax.
"Do you like kids?"
Giving me a weird and confused look he replied.
"Their sweet and innocent but when you work so much they get in the way as horrible as that sounds, but being a father is a great thing, why you ask?"
Defending myself I replied.
"Just something on my mind. Thanks Officer."
Smiling he nodded and drove off leaving me in confusion.
Walking back to my bike I continued to work still seeing that minus sign in the trashcan back in the house.
