Johnathen's Apartment

"Wow what a nice apartment, Johnathen you never told us you lived in an apartment! It's so high up and clean, honestly I'd never expect a man to keep a clean apartment." Celeste looked at Sarah and they both got a glint of being devious women in their eyes, all Johnathen could do was look on with frustration.

"Oh Sarah some men can clean, besides I'm sure Johnathen's thoroughly embarrassed with our chatter. By the way Johnathen where will the three of us be sleeping, I'm sure we wouldn't be sleeping in the same room." Celeste tried to think of something that would let Johnathen escape a devilish conversation.

"Ahem, I know that you are both probably tired from all that dancing we all did so I think we can all agree that I'll sleep on the couch and you two can sleep in my room." Johnathen had his hand behind his head and looked quite uncomfortable, as if the thought of two pretty girls chattering about his apartment was a bit unnerving. He started to worry for a moment that their conversation would soon change to him, he secretly cursed that he had soundproofed his bedroom.

"Oh okay" Celeste started to look around as if to find the bedroom Johnathen started to chuckle a bit at how she didn't know where a bed could hide in the living room. "Um just one small question," Celeste squinted her eyes a bit as if to emphasize that the question was just a bit tiny. "Where exactly do you hide your bed?"

At this Johnathen's chuckle broke out into a full out laughter. "It's in the bedroom, the door beside the painting of a beach." Breathlessly and quite red in the face Johnathen had forced out the information, he could barely contain his laughter. Celeste couldn't take the humiliation and just punched Johnathen in the shoulder at the moment of contact he flung around and started to tickle her, Sarah fell back on the couch and started to laugh, she watched for a moment longer and then tackled Johnathen so that Celeste wouldn't be out numbered.

"Hey, Hey, alright lets get you two nuts to bed, jeez two to one, how unfair!" Johnathen joked with the two women.

Sarah jumped in quickly with "You're a man, so your bigger and stronger, Celeste wouldn't have stood a chance at all!" Johnathen sheepishly accepted the comment, as it was true, he was bigger. He lead them to the bedroom, and showed them the closet so that they could pick something to change into. He pointed to some of his pyjamas that he had hiding in the back of the closet. Celeste picked out to pairs of plaid pants, but none of the matching tops. She then went to the t-shirts against Johnathen's wishes and pulled out two of those. Sarah held Johnathen back and it was then that he noticed that Sarah too smelled of lemons, was this some new fad?

"Can I ask a question before we go to bed?" Johnathen said as he lowered down the sun-proof blinds, he had them specially made so that he could sleep during the day without any hint of sunshine.

"Sure what is it?" Celeste and Sarah said together, Johnathen stared at the two of them for a moment, and realized they didn't even know that they had both said it.

"Uh why do both of you smell like lemons? Not to offend anyone it smells nice I just wanted to know." Johnathen quickly added so that he didn't offend anyone.

Celeste and Sarah both started laughing hysterically, at an inside joke. Celeste finally stopped giggling and told Johnathen the whole story about tripping over Sarah and the bucket of lemon cleaner she was washing the floor with, and how she didn't realize that the smell had stayed.

"Well I still think you both smell great, in fact you should market it as a new perfume, ode to Lemon, or something like that. Well have a goodnight, I'm going to go get comfy on my couch. No girl talk you two, get to bed." Johnathen quickly darted out of the way as Celeste tried to smack him again. Johnathen ran over to the door as they were trying to catch him again. "Alright enough, enough, get some sleep you two, I'm sure you're tired by now, besides we all have to be rested, we'll talk about what we can do later today, after we've all slept."

Sarah and Celeste just stared at Johnathen until he realized that he hadn't left, or closed the door yet, It finally dawned on him that he couldn't watch them get changed, so he blushed a little and closed the door. What and exciting day it had been, the ball, rescue, and then an early morning tickling fight. Johnathen climbed on to the couch and pulled a cover over himself asking once more that the women in his bedroom, what a thought, please not talk about him.

Sarah and Celeste started laughing again, and it could just faintly be heard Johnathen's plea of no comments.

"Celeste, do you like Johnathen?" Sarah looked over to where Celeste was laying and Celeste had turned on to her back so that she stared at the ceiling.

"I think I do, I mean just the smell of him is going to drive me nuts, he's just so interesting, and nice, I mean he rescued us! What more could a girl want of a guy?" Celeste had now turned to face Sarah, and she was so excited but Sarah and Celeste were starting to feel exhausted, they knew this conversation was going to have to end soon.

"I think he is definitely quite a guy, but don't push anything, and please promise me you'll try and wait until the danger has passed, there's nothing more dangerous then being in love with someone and not looking after yourself. Now go to sleep!" With that Sarah turned over and faced the door hoping that Celeste would go to sleep, she felt Celeste turn once more, and finally her breathing went to a steady sleeping sounds. Sarah gently got out of bed and went to the door to the living room, she saw Johnathen sprawled on his couch and looking quite content, Sarah walked over to him and poked him on the shoulder, Johnathen jumped up and almost fell off the couch, he looked around quickly and saw Sarah standing there waiting for him to gather his senses.

"What is it Sarah, is something wrong?" Johnathen hated being woken up and he was still groggy even though the clock told him it had only been a few minutes.

"I need to garner a promise from you, I need you to promise that you will never hurt Celeste, that even in the worst case scenario you won't destroy her virtue." Sarah looked deadly serious when she was saying the whole spiel.

"I will I promise Sarah I will never hurt or harm Celeste's virtue or honour, you can trust me." Sarah seemed satisfied with his response and turned back towards the bedroom, even though it was unspoken they both knew that they would never tell Celeste what had just transpired while she was sleeping.
