What a lucky kid.
I thought as my son bustled through the door of our entryway. He was laden with bags of luggage, grumbling about how he had married an overpacker. His wife followed him carrying two suitcases, her blonde hair falling in her face. The pair bustled up the stairs into the spare bedroom.
I walked out to their Lexus and saw they had gotten most of the bags in. There were just two left. A brown suitcase in one hand and a black gym bag over one arm and I was in.
Rachel was coming down the stairs just as I entered the door. Her black knit top accentuated her thin arms and her not-so-thin breasts. It was a good top. It was tight in all the right places, showing off her flat tummy and breasts. She was probably a C cup, but it looked so much bigger against her stomach. And those tight jeans… what I would do to squeeze her cute bottom.
Stop it, you dirty old man. She is your daughter in law.
I shook off the naughty thoughts and carried the bags in the doorway.
"You didn't have to get those." She said, blushing. "But thanks."
"Well, this way we all made a trip. It's fair." I moved toward the stairwell. "There's bottled water and stuff in the fridge. Help yourself. I'm making dinner in a little bit. Nothing fancy, just some chicken, but I figured you guys would be hungry from your drive."
"Thanks. I think I'll take you up on that water. I'm parched." She moved into the kitchen and I moved up the stairs and into the spare room. My son was on his cell phone. He waved at me absently as he talked. I set the bags on the floor among the others as he finished the call.
He let out a sigh as he looked over the overwhelming pile of bags in the small room.
"Well, I guess I'll unpack a bit. Though I suspect over half of this stuff is stuff we could have left in storage. Rachel wouldn't let me put a stitch of clothing in storage." He crinkled his nose and raised his voice, imitating his wife. "But sweetie! I want options when it comes to clothes."
I laughed. "Trouble in paradise?"
He smiled. "Nah. I love her, just don't love carrying her suitcases."
"Just think! You get to carry them all back out in a few weeks."
He flopped backward on the bed and held his head. He was still a young man, fresh out of college. One step away from the dream life. Married his college sweetheart, got a good job fresh out of college, bought a house in suburbia. Dan and Rachel were both teachers; he was English, she was instrumental music. They lucked out and found a school district hiring both. They would be working in the same building. And to top things off, their new house would have a white picket fence. No one could paint a more crystalline, perfect future. They would more than likely have two kids, who would also be adorable.
They had put the down payment on their house. It was a fixer-upper and was close to finished. The lease had run out on their apartment, and in the interim, they would be staying here.
"Dad… thanks for letting us stay. You're a life saver."
"It's not a problem, Dan. Really. There's plenty of room." I grinned. "So sort out your stuff and I'll show Rachel her room." I teased him. I made my way out of the room and closed the door.

Mmmm… water.
I thought as I grabbed one from the fridge. I also saw several nice looking Fiji apples. I know James had said he was cooking dinner, but I was so hungry, and an apple certainly wouldn't ruin my appetite.
I sat down with my water, the apple, and a home décor magazine I had picked up from a gas station for the two hour drive. I had some of the house planned out in my head already, but I was clueless when it came to the bedroom. I thought about a nice green. Green was Dan's favorite color and my favorite after pink. Maybe even something wild like alternating a green and another green a few shades lighter in a checkerboard pattern. Or I could just paint the damn thing green.
I flipped absently through the country kitchens, the modern looking living rooms, the tips for do-it-yourselfers. I looked up as Dan's dad entered the kitchen.
"Well don't you just look like the fall of mankind herself?" He smiled. He went to the fridge and pulled out a bowl of marinating chicken and pulled the plastic wrap off. He poked the chicken with a fork as he spoke. "Getting ideas for the house?"
"Yeah. It'll be fun! It sounds crazy, but it's something that's ours. We can have it however we want it."
"That isn't crazy. I know when Vi and I moved into our first house, her first order of business was to paint a wall red because we had lived in so many buyer-beige apartments that she was so tickled she could finally paint."
"Well, luckily we were both savers by nature and only went through one apartment before we had enough for a down payment."
I heard Dan coming down the stairs. He looked tired from all the events of the day. He entered the kitchen and gave me a peck on the cheek and walked to his dad.
"Need any help?"
"You know you can't cook to save your life."
"It was the polite thing to ask." He and his father smiled the same smile. Age had taken some of the smoothness from James' face and just a bit of the brown from his hair, but otherwise they looked very similar. Dan was fairer and had his mother's nose, but their eyes were strikingly similar. Dan was a bit pudgy, having spent most of the last four years studying. His father had recently gotten into running and had lost a bit of weight, but was still larger than his son by frame alone.
Dan's parents had been divorced since he was fifteen. I didn't know why exactly. They seemed to get along as much as they needed to for the wedding, which was good. His mother was an absolute doll and loved me to death.
James put the chicken in the oven on a cookie sheet. He pulled off the oven mitts and sat at the table across from me, next to Dan.
"You kids going to make a trip out to the house today?"
"Yeah, we are going to prime the bathroom that's done and the living room. We might be able to do the office if they've fixed the electrical up there." Dan said.
"Sounds ambitious." James mentioned as Dan picked up a newspaper. He laid it flat on the table and turned to the comics. "You know, son of mine. Some people read newspapers for the
news
."
"Not me." He said, looking at the page. He reached across the table, picked up my apple and took a big bite. He set it back down where it had been and wiped some of the juice from his chin. I smiled internally, the scene reminiscent of the first time he had performed oral sex on me. It had even been at our kitchen table at the apartment.
