Moving day arrived and the workday dragged slowly. I could finally wait no longer and decided to close the gallery early and drive over to my new home. Just as I was preparing leave, Jules showed up.
âHey DK, I thought I would see were you worked,â she said. âJules, Iâm glad to see you. I was just getting ready to go.
âGreat,â she said.
âI canât thank you enough by the way for letting me join your group. I know that you girls must be very picky about who you choose to live with and Iâm ⌠just glad you chose me.â
Jules looked around the front of the gallery and then said, âSure DK. We really think you will like it there and Jen and Laurie are happy you seemed so nice. The last guy we had began nice enough but turned into a real jerk. Very selfish.â
The thoughts I had been thinking came to the forefront of my mind. I had these reoccurring thoughts that they kicked him out because he was such a pervert probably couldnât keep his hands off them.
âJerk, huh,â I said.
âYeah, the other girls really didnât like him, said Jules. Never became a part of the group and NEVER helped out the way he should.â
âOkay, I thought, he was an asshole and didnât join in when there were group activities. Mental note. Donât be afraid to clean up and do the dishes.
âSo, DK show me around,â Jules asked. I showed her the artist I was currently featuring and a few works arriving later in the month. She liked them and said she might be interested in some artwork for the condo. âOf course she would get the friends of the gallery discount,â I told her and she smiled at me.
Jules had a natural smile, making her face light up and drawing out her innate sexiness. Then it might be the lemon-scented perfume she always wore. Some woman made my knees weak just by the way they looked or smelled. I could never predict it. Probably if you asked ten guys whether they thought Jules was very pretty the answer would be split down the middle. On the other hand, if you asked the same ten guys if she was pretty when she smiled those same ten guys wouldnât say she was drop dead gorgeous.
There is something about a woman with a smile but Jules was deeper with a subtle air of mystery and a face that revealed something new every time you saw her. She was a woman of average height about 5 feet 5 inches and dark brunette hair. She was confident, assertive, and but wonderfully pleasant. She was fit and trim.
After showing her around I realized it was well past time to lock up and told her so. âOkay, that just gives the girls more time to dress for dinner. You can follow me back to the condo in your car, she said. Iâll show you a few short cuts.â
âTerrific. Just give me a few minutes. Where are you parked?â âJust across the street,â she said. âIâll be with you in five. Iâm just parked out back.â I said.
I let Jules out the front and locked the door behind her. Checking around the store, I turned on the evening light and set the gallery alarm, then let myself out and walked to my car. I pulled my car around from the back and stopped just behind Jules so she could exit her space. The ride to the condo took about 20 minutes even with the evening traffic. âNot a bad commute,â I thought. Jules pulled in behind the building and I followed her to my new parking space. I was home, 152 Harbinger Way, apartment 17.
The elevator to the top apartment in the building was a short ride. As the doors opened Jules handed me a key and said, âA key to your new home. I hope it is a wonderful stay.â
âThanks, Jules, I said. I am really glad I am finally here.â
I put the key into the lock and held my breath. Frankly I wasnât sure what I was going to find. Would there be two naked girls standing on the other side of the door? I opened the door and walked into a world that would change my life.
The door opened to the nicest apartment I had ever seen. There was a wonderful entryway with a large closet for coats and fine crafted woodwork evident everywhere. Jules led me in and did a quick tour downstairs.
The condo had two floors with the bedrooms upstairs and the living area down. The first floor was composed of a living room, dining room, and kitchen with pantry, mudroom with laundry, a full bath and entertainment room. Jules told me upstairs had four bedrooms all with full baths, an exercise room and a staircase that lead to a patio/deck. Not only was this gem spacious but also it was well decorated with paintings I immediately recognized. Not masters mind you but very good contemporary artists. We made our way through the first floor without running across Jen or Laurie. I asked Jules if they were home and she told me they were probably upstairs dressing for dinner.
Tonight we would go out to dinner and get to know each other. âI have made reservations at a great spot just around the corner. They make the best drinks. We have reservations for 7:00 pm but we will head over there about 6:15 pm for cocktails. Sound good,â she asked?
âWonderful,â I said. In my mind I breathed a slight sigh of relief. I thought I would make a much better first impression if I didnât have to stop myself from looking at three naked women. I always felt that first impressions are lasting ones and I really didnât want these girls remembering me as a lecherous asshole who drooled all over their naked bodies.
I heard Laurie and Jen talking as they came down the stairs. Jules and I were in the kitchen when she called out to come in the kitchen. The girls walked in and their beauty immediately impressed me. Jen had light brown hair and was about 5â 10â. She had large breasts and a thin frame with long thin legs. Laurie on the other hand had deep black hair was a little shorter than Jenâs but with a more rounded figure. She definitely had all the curves in the right places. Jen and Laurie were ready for dinner and said they were hungry. Jules introduced me to Laurie and when I extended my hand to shake she pulled me in and gave me a little kiss on the cheek. âWe are going to be roommates, DK I thought we would be a little less formal,â Laurie said. Jen followed Laurieâs lead kissed me too. Without even seeing my new room we took Julesâ car to a local eclectic restaurant.
We found a table in a quiet corner for drinks and quickly fell into a comfortable conversation as we shared intimate âbondingâ stories about ourselves. I was apprehensive about this day because of the very problem of trying to fit into a group that enjoyed living together under the most unusual and intense circumstances. Those fears quickly disappeared as we seemed to click, and I fit into the cracks and fissures of their personalities.
We moved to the dinner table after about 45 minutes and continued our conversation. Without thinking about it we all sampled each otherâs dinners, something that would have never occurred to me before but with these girls it seemed very natural. Finally, I asked the one question that I had been longing to ask from the time I met Jules.
âOkay, does everyone really go naked all the time at home?â Laurie without missing a beat said, âSure silly, and we expect you to do the same. It is the first thing we do when we get home and the last thing I regret whenever I leave home.â Then Jen chimed in, âfrankly if I could walk the street of this city naked without getting arrested I would do it.â
âWow, I just said. I am impressed.â âImpressed with what,â Jules asked?
âImpressed that the three of you are so comfortable and casual about nudity. I mean every girl I have met with the exception of one were so uptight about being naked. Most of the time girls have their arms rapped around themselves like they are trying to get another layer of clothes. I never thought I would meet another girl like my friend Suzie.â
âWho is Suzie?â Jen asked.
So I told them the story of Suzie and myself.
The other thing Iâm surprised at is you are letting a guy become a part of your living arrangement. I could understand if the fourth roommate was a woman but why look for a guy,â I asked?
âWell to tell you the truth, Jules said, we all like the erotic tension it throws into the mix. If you were just another girl there would be far less excitement and eroticism. Think about it would you really want to see a bunch of naked guys around the house?
I had to admit that the thought of a bunch of guys naked was not my ideal living situation.
âBesides there are lots of times when a guy can get a job done much easier than a woman. You will be handy to have around the house,â Jules said.
