"I'm on my way!" I texted Dakota, my best friend of about 10 years. I was headed to her place to help her finish settling in as she had just moved into a new house a few towns over. This was her first house, and was excited to get all of her furniture and belongings situated.
I knew she spent most of her money on the closing and furniture, so I told her I'd help her get everything set up so she could save a few bucks and so we could hang out together since we hadn't seen each other much lately. As if hanging out with my best friend wasn't incentive enough to help, the usual friendly promise of pizza and beer was just an added bonus.
I pulled into her driveway, and she ran outside eagerly to meet me. She was so excited to about showing off her new home, it was kind of cute. I never really saw her eyes light up that way before. It caused me to take note of her beauty. Of course, I'm a man in my late 20s, so this isn't the first time I've noticed how hot my friend was. She had shoulder length reddish brown hair, piercing aquamarine eyes, and a perfect smile. Not to mention, a killer body. Now like I said, I've noticed these attributes before. I'm not blind, but she's my friend, and that's all we've ever been. I never had reason to feel any sort of other way, especially since she was so far out of my league. I'm not a bad looking guy, average at best, but I'm short at only 5'6. A girl like her can, and certainly has, pulled much better looking men than me. Nonetheless, we had a solid friendship. A lot of the same interests in movies, tv shows, video games, etc. We had been friends for all this time and nothing more than a friendly kiss on the cheek has occurred, and I was okay this.
As I got out of my car, she ran up to me and embraced me in a tight hug. "Thank you so much for driving out here to help me with everything. I can't wait to show you around!l" she exclaimed.
"Help? I'm just here for the free booze" I said jokingly. She shot me a sarcastic look, and invited me into the home. The house was cute, small, and older, but it had a lot of charm. It was exactly what I'd pictured the perfect house for her would be. She led me into the home, and there boxes and furniture already strewn about. I could tell we had our work cut out for us, but it was early in the day, and I figured we could get most of the hard work out of the way in just a few hours.
"Would you like a tour?" Asked Dakota as she led me into the living room. The living room was small, but had a cozy shape, she then led me into kitchen, and showed me the other rooms in the home including the bathrooms and bedrooms. I was surprised to see a spacious backyard as well as the property didn't seem
So large from the front. "So what do you think!?" She asked excitedly.
"It's beautiful!" I said. "It's got a lot of charm".
"Just like me!" She joked. "Just like you" I repeated.
"So where should we start?" I asked.
"I'm thinking we start with the master bedroom, since it's the furthest away from where everything's at, and then work our way up. What do you think?" Said Dakota.
"I agree. Makes sense to me."
We spent the next hour or so bringing things to the master bedroom. We started with an area rug, assembled the bed, got the mattress and box springs on, and decided to move next to the bedroom furniture. I walked back to the living room and grabbed one of the nightstands. She had already emptied them so they'd be lighter to move and it wouldn't matter which one went where. I lifted the nightstand, and carried it to the bedroom where Dakota was putting the bedding on her bed. She was leaned over the mattress reaching to the other side and her low cut shirt hanging down exposed her chest. I could see her breast, large and full held with a blue bra. I couldn't help but stare. She looked up at me with the nightstand, and caught my stare. She was about to call me out and I panicked as I was lowering the nightstand and almost dropped it. It fell slightly forward as I caught it again, and one of the front drawers slid open. It was one of those hidden drawers, hidden under the trim of the nightstands top. You'd have never known it was there. As the drawer opened, its contents fell out.
I bent over to see what fell out and it was a small, wand vibrator. There was no mistaking it. The toy hit the floor just right, and turned on. Emanating a loud pulsing buzz on the wood floor. We both just stared at each other for a second. Neither of us knew what to say or do. After a few seconds of shock we both burst out laughing. I picked up the vibrator and switched it off, placing it back in the hidden drawer.
"You uhh, weren't supposed to see that" said Dakota.
I could tell she was embarrassed, even though we both spent the last few minutes in tears from laughing so hard.
"It's not a big deal." I said.
While our friendship has been pretty platonic, we did often talk with each other about our love life's, and sex. We were both open books and knew a lot of each others sexual history.
"Is that the only one, or should be careful for more?" I asked jokingly.
"The rest are in a box marked "Nightstand". Don't drop that one" she said back.
I couldn't tell if she was joking. My curiosity was piqued and I was a little turned on at the thought of her having a box full of sex toys. Sure enough, there was a small box in the living room marked "nightstand" but I left it alone for now figuring she'd grab that one on her own.
The rest of the bedroom set up went over without a hitch. We then moved to the guest bedroom, and then kitchen, before moving to the living room as the final room. We got all of the furniture set up and situated, including the TVs and appliances. There were boxes of personal items left, but I didn't feel right touching them after earlier.
We looked at the clock on the microwave. 6:30 pm. We had been at this for hours and had gotten all of the heavy work done. All that was left was for her to put away her belongings and do some final touches.
"I'm starving." Said Dakota.
"Thank you so much for all of your help today. I really appreciate it. The pizza will be here in a bit, there's beer in the fridge, and I'm ready to chill. Wanna watch a movie and relax a bit?" Dakota asked.
