*The next morning *
I woke up Saturday afternoon, still completely naked and still utterly horny. I looked over at the clock on my bedside table, and like lightning, I darted out of my bed and into the shower.
I was supposed to meet my mom for lunch 45 mins ago. Taking a quick wash-me-down shower. I hopped out, quickly dried my hair, threw on some jeans and a black t-shirt, completely forgetting a bra, grabbed my clutch, and headed out the door.
It was nice to be in such a hurry as it subsided all the thoughts I had just woken up with. That was, however, until I turned on my phone and saw 34 missed calls and 15 texts all from Trish on Trina's phone, as well as some missed calls from my mom.
I pulled up to the Cheddars after confirming that my mom was still there. I ran inside and apologized profusely to her telling her some BS story about how I worked late, forgot to charge my phone, and ended up sleeping in for the first time in months. I felt bad lying to my mom as we had a very strong and honest relationship. That being said, she was very conservative and I do not know how it would have played out had I told her the truth.
We stayed and talked for a while, mainly about my dad, my sister, and my work. After about 4 cups of water and a coffee, I had to run to the bathroom. It wasn't until I was in the bathroom and had pulled out my phone to read Trish's texts, that I realized how bad my head was hurting from the night before.
As I read bullshit text after bullshit text, I came to remember that I still had Trish's phone. She was using Trina's phone, but what got me was that the last text I received from Trish was at 6 AM.
'Was Trish still with Trina? Did she spend the night with her? Did...did they keep fooling around all night?' I thought as I washed my hands.
These thoughts refused to leave my head as I sat back down with my mom. I feel bad because she was telling me a story about her trip to Croatia with my dad a few weeks back, but I was not listening at all. Instead, I was thinking about the possibilities of what the girls did for the rest of the night and into the morning.
After another 45 minutes, me and my mom went our separate ways and I drove over to Trish's house. I knocked twice with no answer before I left her phone and purse in her mailbox and drove home.
To keep my mind busy, I decided that I was going to move forward and become an Airbnb host after all. I went online, signed up, filled out all the required information, and then went downstairs to look at the basement room.
Walking around, I looked at what I would need to do to make this work. Honestly, all in all, it would not take much. I would need a bed (a queen would be best), I already had a fridge, a table, a decently sized hide-away couch, a bathroom, a microwave, and a makeshift cabinet pantry I got from Wayfair. All I REALLY needed to do was put a padlock on the door, create some sort of make-shift Island for the "kitchen" area and maybe get a fold-out camping stove.
Being a realtor, I've seen a lot of innovative ideas on how people put together in-law apartments and guest spaces. So I've learned cheap ways to make things work on a budget while still looking stylish and homey.
"Ya know," I said out loud. "This just might work."
I decided that I would charge $86/per night for a couple, $125/per night for a family of 3 ($25/per additional person per night after that), and $50/per night for a single individual. A $50 cleaning fee and a 60% last-minute cancellation charge. (Most people kept the full 100% for cancellations within 48 hours of the reservation, but I get it, things happen so I was gonna be a little kinder.)
I went online to Facebook Marketplace and found an older couple moving to Texas who were no longer in need of their guest room queen mattress, box spring, and bed frame. They were selling them all in a bundle for $300.
After confirming it was all still available, I took my Jeep over to their house and bought it on the spot, making sure there were no stains of any sort. I couldn't get the mattress or box spring in my jeep but with the help of Ed, the seller, I was able to strap it down to the top of my Jeep. I wasn't going far, so I just threw on my hazards and took my time.
DIDN'T THINK ABOUT HOW I WAS GOING TO GET THIS DOWNSTAIRS, HOWEVER.
I was strong, I mean stronger than most women my age. But I didn't want to try and trek this thing downstairs alone. And it felt weird just shoving it down the stairs. So I got it off the top of my Jeep and just maneuvered it into the garage for the time being. I got the frame put together and the box springs into the frame with no problem. This just gave the whole idea life.
"This really will work," I said excitedly.
It was at that moment, around about 3PM, that I got a simple text from Trish. "Can we talk?"
Me: "Idk Trish, that was weird last night"
Trish: "I know. It wasn't planned, but can I come over?"
Me: "uh..."
Trish: "Please. I mean I'll give you your space if needed, but I also need a friend and you're the only bitch I've got."
Me: "Fine. But you're going to help me move things downstairs."
Trish: "O so..the Airbnb is a go?"
Me: "Yup, tell you more later"
Trish: "K. OMW. Be there in 20"
Me: "K"
Trish arrived about 30 minutes later and she came bearing gifts of Starbucks and pizza.
Trish just walked in, per usual, yelling "HEY BITTTTCHH IM HOMEEEEEE."
"I'm downstairs" I yelled back.
She walked down with a White Chocolate Mocha in one hand and a Cinnamon Dolce Latte in the other. She definitely knew the way to my heart with coffee.
"Hey girlie," she said as she walked over and gave me an armless hug.
Even though the hug was brief and loose, I still felt her breasts against mine and this sent a small shiver down my spine.
Pulling back a little bit quicker than normal from her hug caused a sense of unease between us.
"Still weird, huh?" she asked.
