Andy cannot believe how this day is turning out and how truly blessed he is.
Here I thought that my life as I knew it was over. I was afraid that I was forever destined to live in one hovel or another until I could afford a decent place on my own. Now, because of their extreme kindness and generosity, I can save up as much money as I can in case, I need a good divorce lawyer.
I started to think about Sarah again and our life together. I could feel myself starting to get depressed again, so I decided to be proactive. My friends are going through a lot of trouble to help me, and the least I can do is try to stay positive although it is extremely difficult.
"Thank you for letting me come and stay with you guys. I really appreciate it." I couldn't think of anything else to say. I am just so tired.
"It is no problem at all bud, we are happy to have you. I am sorry that all of this is happening to you. I wish that there was more that we could do." Jason said.
"You guys are lifesavers, really." I decided to change the subject.
"Amy is sure looking great. I have always admired how happy she seems to be all the time." Maybe that is why I failed as a husband. I thought to myself. "I can't remember the last time I saw Sarah smile. Maybe I didn't pay her enough attention."
Jason seemed happy just to listen, he didn't offer any advice which I appreciate. I could feel myself slip into a melancholy again but there was no help for it this time. Was I such a terrible husband? Is that why she has given up on me? I asked myself as we pulled up to the hotel.
It took quite a while to gather up all my stuff. There was actually more here than I thought, it filled up the entire back seat of my truck. We were quiet as we headed back to Jason's house.
When we got there, Amy came out onto the porch and greeted us with a big huge smile. Her hair was wet, so she must have just showered. She was wearing jeans and a tight hot pink tea shirt that showed off her shapely figure.
Man, what is wrong with me, lusting after one of my best friends. I should be ashamed of myself. I chuck it up to the lack of sex in my life for the past five years and let it go. I will have to be more careful in the future though, I do not want to lose my best friends just because I am horny. Amy came right up to the back door of my truck and grabbed up a load of clothes.
"Here, let me take those honey, they are really heavy." I told her as I tried to take them away from her. She just went around me and headed to the house, humming a happy tune the whole time. I looked through the truck over at Jason, he just laughed and shook his head.
I grabbed up my duffle bag and another stack of clothes. When I entered the house, I was surprised to see her coming from the laundry room instead of the hallway where my new bedroom is. She came right up to me and took the clothes out of my arms and went back into the laundry room.
"I am going to make sure that all of your clothes are clean after they have been in that horrible place. Did you know that bedbugs can reside in your clothing too?" She asked as she visibly shivered. I thanked her and tried to tell her that I can wash my own clothes. She walked passed me again and headed to my new room with a stack of towels.
"These will have to do until we go to the store later and get you some brand new ones for your bathroom." She told me as she walked out of my new bathroom, just as I walked through the door of my new bedroom.
I stopped in my tracks. The extra-large guest room that I remember staying in with Sarah was now transformed into a single man's utopia. Compete with video game console, sixty-inch screen TV, and two overstuffed recliners. My mouth dropped open. "Wow, you are way too good to me, you made it so nice in here I may not want to leave." I walked up to her and gave her a hug.
"Good, we love having you here. You can stay forever if you like." She told me as she stepped out of my embrace and grabbed my duffle bag off of the bed. She opened it up and started to take out my sox and underwear. Jason walked in with another arm load stuff. He put it down on the bed and looked around.
"Cool, I can't wait to play against you again." He said as he gestured toward the gaming console and tv.
"I can take care of all of that, honestly. You have done too much for me already." I told her. I never in my life have been taken such good care of O thought to myself.
"Nonsense, I do it for Jason and the kids all the time, why would you be any different. Listen, why don't you take a nice hot shower. I will leave some of Jason's clothes on the bed for you. Your clothes should be ready soon." She said as she left the room again.
Oh my, a hot shower sounds so good. I am so sick of lukewarm, sometimes even down right cold showers. I do not know how she did it but, Amy already had unpacked all of my toiletries and had them laid out for me. I turned on the water and let it run so it will be nice and hot. I took off my clothes and jumped in. Ahhhh... What heaven...
Jason and Amy took the rest of Andy's belongings out of his truck and put them in his room.
"I am so glad that we got him out of that hotel. I have never been to that one before, it might be cheap, but it was just plain nasty." I told her as another grossed out shutter ran through me.
"Why didn't you tell me he was staying at that horrible place? We could have gone and saved him sooner?" She said with her hands on her hips and a frown.
"I didn't know my love, honest. He just told me yesterday. I figured he was safe for the night because he was working. I was going to tell you about it right after breakfast."
"By the way, you did a fantastic job on his room babe. It looks amazing. I am sure that he will feel right at home. He may not even want to go back to his house." I teased her as we left Andy's room and went into the family room to give Andy some privacy while he showered.
