Chris' POV
Sharing the same house daily for these weeks made me pay attention to some little things; little details that has made me see her with other eyes. It's another emotional battle I have to struggle with. I don't want to give the wrong impression, so I try to stay as much absent as I can. It's been hard to deal with the thought that she is a very beautiful woman, with a great heart and a perfect body! She is very strong and much more flexible than I am!
Now we are so close to each other as I sit by her side on the couch. She's trying to understand me, I can see her puzzled look and those pink lips that are partly open as she tries to figure me out.
"Are you okay?" she asked. I nod, but she's not convinced. I slowly move my hand to touch her left hand, my heart is so accelerated. I don't want to scare her, but I so want to kiss those lips.
Her icy blue-eyes are hypnotizing me and her lips are calling for mine. I'm so nervous, my heart is beating so fast, I'm sweating cold. We are about to kiss. I can already feel her breath on my face, I look deep in her eyes still asking for permission, I can't resist… I lean my face at hers; we close our eyes. Our lips finally touch softly. It's been a long time since I don't get so intimate with someone...
I follow her lips' moves. She increases the speed, our tongues dance together. It gives me shivers, my body is taken by the adrenaline. I know where this is going to end; my body is not going to stop it. I massage her breast with my left hand. She passes her hand on my thighs while she gives soft bites on my earlobe and then descends to my neck, I moan in pleasure. She passes slowly her hand down to my thighs close to my groin, teasing me to want more. I can't stop myself and can feel my erection. Her kisses lean down to my chest; she can feel my rigid member through my shorts and makes a naughty face. Slowly my hand caresses her inner thighs and then I massage her clit through her panties. She moans with my touch. She passes her leg over me staying sitting while she puts her hand into my boxers and massage my cock while I finger her as we kiss passionately. She really knows how to touch me but I want more and she noticed it and then pull out my penis from my black boxers. We cannot hold our urges for more.
"You are so damn wet…" I whisper in her ear
"I want you now!" she begged for me
That was the moment we were about to become one as I could feel her warm and wet entrance.

"Ouch!" Chris yelled as he woke up after falling off the couch after a restless night
"Are you alright?" Evana asked in concern after hearing the loud noise when she had just left the hallway
"Yeah… I was just dreaming…I mean, sleeping." He replied as he stood up from the ground and started arranging his sleeping bag to take to the bedroom.
"What a dangerous dream huh!" she said starting to laugh, "I'm going to prepare the breakfast for the two of us and then we'll leave to go to Emma's house ..." she said and seemed to have a tone of mockery as she spoke the other woman's name
"Okay, I'll go to the bathroom and change my clothes." He replied avoiding looking at her "It was just a dream…" he spoke to himself passing his hand on his hair as he headed to the bedroom.
Chris looked at his reflection in the mirror thoughtful since the moment he woke up at dawn, remembered his name, and tried to remember his dream about someone named Claire, however those subtle moments with Evana – that was the real reason that made him restless.
"I do not know if that would be good or bad, after all, I live in favor at her house... this can become complicated if it does not work." He thought, "But it could also turn out to be good and really work out..." He pondered as he shaved his long beard
That was a fact, his feelings were already surpassing the limit of pure friendship and he could already perceive it more clearly, after all, in the brief moment when he took a nap he ended up having an erotic dream about her. He laughed as he remembered this, "This is not working... I'll have to hold myself!" He told himself
(**)
The breakfast was quieter than usual. Certainly not only because Evana had the habit to avoid conversations during meals, but also because they were different. When they finished their meals, Evana washed the dishes while Chris packed his work supplies and they left the house together.
"Is Emma's house too far away?" Chris asked to break the ice.
"A little, about 20-25 min of walk."
"Okay..." he replied and made a brief pause, "Do you know her?"
Evana sighed rolling her eyes, "Unfortunately..."
"So just tell me the way and I'll go alone. You do not have to force yourself to meet someone you do not like because of me. "
"No, I'm going with you! Your work comes before my enmity."
"But I'm going to be in the middle of the shooting and I do not want that."
"Relax, it's not something that bad either... it's just dislike." She forced a smile.
"Alright... if you say so..."
Another moment of silence. That was definitely the most silent walk they ever had since they met.
"Did you get some sleep or remember Claire?" She asked, breaking the ice.
"Not really... I do not really know who Claire is."
"Maybe she's someone close and important to you... maybe a girlfriend or something..." she said with a vague tone
Chris sighed deeply, "Can't tell..."
"The good thing is that maybe your dreams are telling you more about yourself... the problems is that I can't check on your dreams every night."
Chris let out a laugh, "Of course not!" He made a pause, "At least you have a good point and my dreams might be telling me who I am or what I used to do."
"Yeah… You know, let's make a shortcut, but on the way back I will show you the lake that is on the other side." Evana said
"Alright."
It was not long before they could see the red house from afar, it had only one floor, but it had a large yard, which was filled with all kinds of flora. As they approached the place from the corner of the house, they spotted a tall girl with long, loose brown hair, white skin, wearing only shorts and red top. The young woman noticed the presence of the couple and the surprise on her face was noticeable when she recognized Evana.
Evana kept her composure and greeted the woman first.
"Good morning... Emma."
"Good morning... Scarlet." The young woman answered and did not hide her seductive look and wide grin when she saw Chris, "Good morning! I can't believe you're here!" She said and then pulled him into a hug.
"Good morning Emma, I'm the one who came to repair what you need." Chris said enjoying the coincidence
Evana's blood immediately began to boil and nothing had prepared her for such a scene. The surprise was evident in her expression, "Do you know each other?" She said with her eyes widened
"Yes, we met a few times a few days ago at the market and on the street too... when you were busy with something else..." the young woman spoke in a provocative tone
She already knew that this could happen, "Why did not you tell me that you already knew where she lived?" Evana turned to Chris hiding as much as she could her disliked gaze
"But I did not know where she lived, I just did not imagine it would be the same person when you mentioned Emma."
"Relax, Scarlet, this is the first time he comes in my humble home... you do not give him much space so he can explore more of the charms of the city."
"He does it with me!"
Chris realized that the two of them did not really get along and as he was unwilling to be caught in the crossfire, he interrupted their 'heated' conversation, "So Emma, what exactly do you need my service for?"
"My shower burned and I think the heater is in trouble and at this time of year this is not cool."
"Okay, I'll take a look at it."
"Yes, let's go in... the shower is the bathroom in my suite, I had to take baths in the visitors' bathroom yesterday, but it was difficult to leave the bathroom to go to my bedroom with the cold house." The woman said taking the lead
"I see, you live near the lake and it's normal to be cooler than the average." Chris said as he followed her
"Yes, this is one of the great side effects."
Evana crossed her arms, watched the pair getting distant, and took several deep breaths since she was left behind. Chris realized it and looked back, "Are you going to wait here or go home?" He asked
"You'd better go home..." Emma intruded
"I'll wait, we already had a later commitment, did not we?" Evana replied and only after Emma's provocation she decided to stay
"Okay, I will not take too long." Chris nodded in cofirmation
Emma rolled her eyes without letting Chris see it; she knew Scarlet was poking her back.
"Okay, I'll wait for you out here." Evana replied smiling at him.
Evana's POV
I'm so pissed right now! I swear I could beat that bitch! No matter how hard I try to control myself, I can't help it when she provokes me! In addition, I can't do anything right now! I cannot just invade her house and take him away from her. He needs the money! I hope money is the only thing she'll be giving him…
I take a long deep breath, what am I saying? He's nothing to me! He's there to work and I have no reason to feel that way… but that bitch annoys me so much! I saw her throwing herself on him in that embrace! I'm sure she will try to do more there as they will be alone… dammit!
I can't help these thoughts… I have to keep in mind that he's nothing mine, he's just the guy I helped because I have a good heart, stupid heart by the way, who is living temporarily in my house… he's a free man and can do anyone he wants… but not bitch Emma!
Walking around is not enough, I need to vent with someone… "Yana!" I said with some excitement and dialed her number. "Answer it!" I let out an annoyed breath after having to call her once again
"Hello."
"Yana! Thank god you answered it!"
"Sis, what happened?" she asked with the concern evident on her voice
"He's with her…"
"Who's with who? Stan?"
"What Stan! Who's Stan! Don't say crap Yana! Don't remind me of that moron!"
"Evana, I don't have a crystal ball, what is going on?"
"Chris and Emma."
"Who is Chris?" she asked
I paused as I remembered I didn't tell her the news, "Chris is my handsome roomie's real name."
"What? Really? When did he tell you that?"
"That's not important now! I need your help with something else."
"Okay… with what?" Yana sighed
"I need your lectures… I'm not thinking straight."
"Okay…" she made a pause, "You mentioned Emma… Emma the offered bitch?"
"Yes, that one!" I said in annoyance
"So… how can I help you?"
"Can't you notice? I'm freaking out!"
"Yes, but…I don't know what to say… it's not typical of you to act that way…"
"He's in her house… they are alone in there."
"Oh…and you are jealous."
"I'm not jealous!"
"You're so jealous!"
"I'm not jealous, he's nothing mine! I just can't stand her and you know that."
"Because you know she can get from him what you haven't…"
"If she hadn't got it already… I found out, today, that they already know each other for some time!"
"That explains why he's so calm towards you… he already has his sexual valve escape with her."
"Dammit… What?! You are not helping!"
"Sis… I think you are PMSing and that's why you are overreacting about it… unless you have finally come to your senses that you really have feelings for him..."
"So what if I admit I do have some feelings for him?" I didn't let her finish her sentence
"So fight for your man and take him from the bitch!"
I couldn't help but laugh, I couldn't believe Yana was telling me that, since she was never much fond of him and now she was telling me the opposite, "Yana, is that you?" I questioned her
"Yes, why do you ask?"
"You just told me to fight for someone you don't even like!"
"This is reverse psychology! Everything I told you before you didn't do, so now I will tell you whatever you want to do and see if it works…"
I laughed again
"I guess it's working…I did get your attention." She said
"Well… maybe it did, but… he's not my man."
"True that… he's just your 'roomie'." She emphasized the last word
"Exactly."
"So let him be happy with bitch Emma because you are a rational woman and a non-jealousy person."
"I don't know if I can do that…"
"Why not?"
"Because last night I admitted to myself that I'm starting to have feelings for Chris and I'm jealous because he is with bitch Emma and I know he is just a man…"
"Sis, you are way better than her and have so much more to offer to him than she could ever do!"
"She got him first…"
"So? It's not like he never had anyone else before in his life… Don't act like he's a virgin!"
I sighed, "I met him first…"
"I'm sure you have tricks that can get his full attention on you real quickly… and I'm not talking about just sex."
I sighed, "This reverse psychology really works huh!"
"I guess…"
"Or maybe I just needed you to talk… it's been a while since we don't talk like that."
"Yeah… it's the new routine of me sharing you with your future husband."
"Future husband…" I snapped, "Yana!" I started to laugh
"Laughing is better than freaking out!"
"You're right!"
In the meantime inside Emma's house, Chris was checking the heater problem.
"First of all, I need to apologize for the scene outside with Scarlet, but we do have some irreconcilable differences and animosity is expected between us." Emma said with an apologetic tone
"Yeah, she told me." Chris said with a single tone
"Oh really? I didn't know you were so intimate on personal matters… actually I never thought that she'd be the…friend…you said you lived with."
"We live in the same house, but it doesn't give me any right to come between her personal matters."
"I can see you two have a unique relationship…" she said stepping closer to him, "Actually you are unique." She spoke with a flirty tone
"Well, I can see the problem with your heater, it's the resistance. You will need to change it." he said ignoring her approach
"Oh… I'll have to buy a new one…"
"Yeah… There's nothing I can do for now, so let's go to the shower." Chris said standing up still looking concentrated on his work
"Hummm, now I liked it." she said with a teasing tone
Chris ignored it as well
"By the way I already bought a new one, but I didn't know how to install it." Emma told him as they headed to her suite
"Is the power here turned off as well?" he asked
"Yeah."
"So all I need is to change it."
"You are really in a hurry… would you like a cup of coffee or something?"
"No, thanks. I just had breakfast."
"I see… by the way do you have a personal number so I can call you directly… when you come to change the resistance?"
"No, but you know where to find me."
"You know I'm not going to call you at your girlfriends' house."
"She's not my girlfriend."
"Ohh, understood…" she spoke with a tone that got Chris' attention
"Understood what? We are just friends."
"Uhum, right… Scarlet letting a 'just friend' living with her…" the woman spoke with an incredulous expression
"Could you take this and give me the new one?" Chris decided to ignore her teasing and removed the broken shower
"Sure!" the woman obeyed and didn't take long to hand him the new object
"Thanks."
"You're welcome…" the woman replied and took advantage to touch his hands
Chris remained in silence focused in his work while the woman stayed by his side watching him, "By the way, what is your name?" she broke the ice
"Chris."
"So Chris, how much are you going charge me for your services today?"
"Well, I didn't do much…" he replied thoughtful
"Is this enough for the payment?" she said showing him some cells of cash
"Yeah, more than enough. I can't accept all that."
"But I'm going to need you more times, I promise to give more compensations in the next ones." She said with a teasing gaze
"So you want to advance the payment for the heater?"
"Yeah… even though I can give you a good compensation next time besides the payment." She said caressing his hand and licking her lips in a seductive way
Chris looked to the side and smiled in an awkward way, she was a beautiful woman and he understood her loud signs for more. He was a still a man who had his needs and it had some time he didn't get laid with anyone.
"Now I have to go, you know how to find me. Just let me know and I'll come to finish the service." He said with a serious face
"I'm sure you will…" she said with a teasing tone
Evana paced back and forth outside her rival's house as she waited for Chris to come out. She looked at the time it had just been 15 minutes but it felt a little longer to get. She looked at the house wondering what was taking them so long and again looked at her watch. She told herself to calm down and sat on a bench outside the house, deciding to patiently wait for Chris.
Evana tried to keep herself busy by just observing the people on the street but soon, she got bored and started pacing back and forth like before. She looked at her watch and it had been just 19 minutes since Chris left her side.
"C'mon... You gotta be kidding me!", she cursed out loud, "Is this thing broken?!", she muttered to no one in particular.
She sighed leaning against the wall, feeling sad and angry for no reason, at least she didn't know one to feel that way. The thoughts about Emma and Chris just flooded her mind, and she couldn't put those thoughts under the 'good thoughts' category. She couldn't stop herself from checking her watch yet again counting almost every minute that Chris spent inside that house. It was somewhat about 30 minutes or so when she saw the front door opening revealing Chris and Emma stepping out, talking about something.
They both stood on the porch talking about something, when Emma noticed Evana from the corner of her eyes, as the latter woman watched the pair talk. Emma smiled at Chris and without any fear or hesitation planted a kiss on Chris's lips in good-bye.
Chris was left baffled by such a bold gesture, "See you next time..." she smiled seductively at him, which turned to a smirk as she threw Evana a condescending look.
Evana's hands curled into tight fists and she felt her face getting warm, but she tried really hard to not take away that smug smile off that brunette's face. She wouldn't allow herself to fall for any of those dirty tricks of her rival and she just would let her have the satisfaction of seeing even the slightest sign of devastation on her face. She might be a raging tempest inside but she won't let her face broadcast those feelings.
