The whole group woke up, showered and came downstairs to find the coffee and breakfast all ready and waiting. Ted and Chelsea had gotten up early taken their run together and a shower together. Looking in on Darlene they could see she wasn't in any mood to get up yet, checking on the others it was also obvious they weren't among the open eye club quite yet. Ted raised his eyebrows when he figured out his ex had stayed with Melinda and Marty last night.
Chelsea saw the look on his face, "What? Didn't expect that did you?"
Looking at her he smiled and said, "If she was willing to have another woman in bed with us when we were married things could have turned out different."
Taking his hand she looked in his face, "Ted, do you wish things had turned out different between you two?" biting her lip she looked away.
Ted was surprised by her question but knew it would come up eventually, "Hey, look at me please," he turned her to look at him. "Chelsea I know we don't know each other very well yet and I want to know everything about you. I decided a long time ago to move on with my life after the divorce. Now I hope Lucinda has moved on too because I found you now and I want us to be together," smiling he cleared his throat, "If she wants to join us I think you may enjoy it and to be honest it would be interesting."
Chelsea wiped away a small tear snorted a laugh then slapped his arm, "I had an idea you might say that. You better watch it, you know what they say a hard dick has no conscience and since I met you I believe it."
Pinching her nipple he laughed, "I can show you it knows what it wants down in the kitchen if you would like?"
Giggling she said as she ran down the stairs in front of him, "Sure you wouldn't like to warm it up with Lucinda before showing me what it wants!"
Chasing her he thought, 'That might not be a bad idea for later,' catching her behind the kitchen island Ted picked her up and sat her on the counter, "Maybe later, but right now I'll settle for you."
Squealing she let him nuzzle her neck, "Settle for me! Wait until later buster; we'll see who settles for whom!"
Calming down they both stopped and looked at one another, she had her hands on his shoulders and he had his on her hips.
Chelsea said, "Kiss me lover," pulling him closer they kissed gently and passionately breaking away she said, "Think we should start breakfast? Or is your 'conscience' going to show me something?" she said with her Cheshire cat grin.
He smiled pulled her around his waist so she could feel his hard cock. Kissing her lips he said, "I think I'll make it wait until later. Sometimes it's more fun that way."
Reaching between them she grabbed his swollen penis through his shorts, "Maybe this will help it remember." Kissing his lips, chin and cheeks she said, "The way it feels I think it remembers me!"
"You keep doing that and breakfast can wait love," holding her ass cheeks he pressed against her crotch harder.
"Ok, ok, enough you horn dog. But later you're all mine!" squeezing him again she unwrapped her legs and slid to the floor, "If you knew the girls like I do you wouldn't delay their meal after a night of sex. Those three have come home after pulling all-nighters from a frat party and almost ate everything in the apartment. I wish you could have seen them covered in dry cum or whatever, their hair going in three different directions and missing several pieces of clothing. It was amazing to say the least," getting out the coffee she filled the pot, "What made me mad was I didn't go because of exams. They came waltzing in smelling like a night with the sailors from a ship, eat everything, kiss me on the cheek, say goodnight and still make it to class and pass the same tests I had. Not being fair just doesn't say enough I think."
Ted was getting the fixings for the meal trying not to laugh out loud, taking a breath he said, "So what was the exam?"
Chelsea stopped turned and saw his shoulders shaking with quiet laughter, his hands were full as he turned around, grinning from ear to ear he said, "What?"
Trying to act angry she put her hands on her hips stomped her foot and pointed her finger at him, "You think that's funny? They have all the fun getting laid by young college guys while I stay in like a step sister and study? Ok funny guy, we'll see if you're laughing later," spinning around she grabbed the dish towel and threw it at him.
Setting everything down he wiped his hands and came up behind her, "Oh sweetie it's ok, I'll try to make it up to you somehow," kissing her neck he gave her a raspberry.
Giggling she squealed then slapped his hand, "Get away from me you dope!"
"Yes dear," he said then slapped her ass.
"Ouch!" rubbing her cheek.
Retreating to the sink he washed the fruit and set about making some breakfast scones. The two of them worked together like they had been doing it for years, helping with each portion of the jobs as it was needed, no argument or slacking off. The conversation flowed from them like an old married couple, teasing, laughing, answering questions and generally having a great time.
When the conversation had slowed they had cleaned up and were waiting for the timer to go off. Sitting side by side at the counter drinking coffee Ted turned to her and said, "Well did you notice it too?"
Looking in her cup she smiled and said, "If you mean how comfortable we are together? Yeah I felt it, I like it too. I never had that with anyone before."
Grinning he touched her hand with his fingers; "Yeah I like it too and want to have a lot more of it," bending in he kissed her cheek.
Her face getting flush she gave a low laugh, "Watch it you big dope, I might fall for you. Then what would you do?"
"Oh I think it's too late for me anyway," placing his chin in his hand he looked at the ceiling and said, "You know, I don't think I've ever been smitten before. I like it though."
Turning to him she smiled and said, "Me neither, I like it too."
Smiling as they looked at each other, neither one had heard the ladies come down. When they started to clap both of them jumped.
Darlene turned to Marty and said, "See, told ya! You owe me five bucks."
Lucinda came in last rubbing her eyes, "See what? Did you borrow five dollars?"
Marty laughed, "No sweetie, it seems that I owe Darlene five dollars because she and I bet on Ted and Chelsea becoming an item. I said it would be at least a month and she said it wouldn't take a week. Seems I lost, look at them, it's disgusting how they carry on."
Lucinda was standing between Darlene and Marty, "That's great! Oh Ted I was worried you weren't ever getting in another relationship," she came over and hugged Chelsea then him giving them each a kiss on the cheek.
Melinda came in last just catching Lucinda's remark, putting her arm around Darlene and Marty she asked, "Well who won?"
Chelsea squealed, "You two sluts bet on us?" she said with her hands on her hips.
Melinda said with a grin, "No. no, we just bet on you actually. All of us figured once Ted got in your pants he was hooked, you know a typical guy thinking with his dick." She squeaked as Chelsea came off the stool and chased her around the kitchen hitting her ass with the dishtowel.
The two of them were giggling and pinching each other. Calming down Chelsea got on her stool next to Ted kissed his mouth and said, "Sorry lover, I didn't realize my friends were so common," glancing at them she smiled, "I would appreciate you ladies not referring to his dick unless he wants you too, after he asks me of course."
They all laughed and said in unison, "Certainly madam!"
Ted finally stopped laughing, turning to Chelsea he said, "So lets see if I have this straight, whenever the ladies want to talk about my dick you have to be in the room?" she nodded very smugly, "Wow, I guess I'll have to get a bigger bed!"
She grinned at him, "Or at the very least I'm sure us girls can work on some kind of schedule."
