《Flatmates》49
Advertisement
Carefully placing a sleeping Arlo into his Moses basket that I had moved to the dining room, I gently kissed his forehead before grabbing the massive stack of order sheets and address labels. The first drop of the reopening had fully sold out, and I desperately needed to get the orders shipped. Harry was at a meeting for his new venture - Kick Town, Freezy was up in Scotland visiting his mum and Lux had gone away for the week with friends.
It was strange having the flat to myself with Arlo, but I took full advantage of his naps to get these orders packaged and sent out.
Ethan: Hey you, what you up to?
Jess: Just packaging orders whilst Arlo sleeps, you?
Ethan: Fancy some company?
Jess: Go for it!
Ethan arrived about twenty minutes later, letting himself in through the unlocked front door and finding me in a pile of hoodies on the dining room floor.
We chatted for a while before Arlo woke from his nap, Ethan jumping up and picking him straight up, rocking him and pacing to soothe his crying.
'I think he's hungry' I said, standing to head to the kitchen and make a bottle.
'Sit, I got this' Ethan smiled as he headed out of the door with Arlo still in his arms.

'Hey beautiful, how long have you been in here?' Harrys head pops around the dining room door somewhere around 7pm.
'Umm, around 9am?' I yawned, stretching my legs out in front of me.
'Right, you go take a nice hot bath and order something for dinner. I can do this' Harry takes both of my hands in his, gently pulling me up from the floor and into his arms. Stoking my hair and rubbing my back before gently pulling away and pushing me in the direction of the door. 'Go!'

I started running my bath, adding a bath bomb and grabbing a towel and PJs from the bedroom. When I returned to check on my bath, there was a hot cup of coffee sat on the side of the bath. Harry was definitely a keeper!
Once submerged under the bubbles, I ordered Sushi for the two of us before taking full advantage of a hot coffee and five minutes to myself.
When I returned to the dining room after my bath Harry and Arlo were nowhere to be seen, but the last of the parcels had been finished and moved to the hallway ready for the courier in the morning. I headed through to the living room to find Harry curled up on the sofa with Arlo in his arms, candles lit on the coffee table and a bottle of wine with two glasses sat beside them.
The sushi soon arrived, so Harry went and put Arlo down in his crib in the bedroom, turning on the baby monitor and going into the kitchen to plate up the dinner.
We just sat and watched some rubbish TV, drank wine and ate, and it was blissful. Living with two guys and having a baby meant that moments like these were few and far between, but that just meant that we truly enjoyed these moments when they did crop up.
'Hey I was thinking, we should take advantage of your time off between drops on the website. How about we disappear off to Guernsey for a few days? I know my family would love to see Arlo again, and we could do with some proper family time.'
'You know what Harry? That sounds absolutely perfect. Lets do it!'

Triple Strength
Wiremu was a young level 1 Hunter when his village was raided by Imperial Slavers. If he was destined to live his life as a slave then he would kick that destiny into Troll shit and make his own. Triple Strength is a LITRPG world where the three categories of attributes are Physical, Mental and Spiritual. Follow Wiremu and Tabitha as they learn and grow. Or maybe they become slaves and the story ends early. Probably not. This was written for fun and shared for the same purpose. If you are not having fun, move on. However, if you have any ideas about how to improve the fun, please comment. There will NOT be regular updates. There will instead be irregular postings of multiple chapters at a time.

The Wolf Saga, Wolf that Devours Empires
The Empire of Human is about to enter a turbulent era. A World Power has fallen. But mere hours after dying, he is reborn as a half-human, half-elf boy named Wolf. The story follows this odd boy as he grows up, his relationship with his father and those around him, his lack of common sense from being raised in the wilderness, and his desire for revenge. Witness Wolf's journey as he aspires to climb to the peak of the world to unravel its mysteries, and as he tries to figure out why it’s wrong to decapitate a street thug when the man tries to mug you. “I mean, the man literally said ‘Money or life,’ so what’s the big deal?” Releases Mon/Wen/Fri. (GMT-ish) Trigger warning. The Wolf Saga may not be suited for you if any of the following disturbs you: - The story will have fighting and killing. The gore will not be explicit, but there will be descriptions such as "head burst like a melon", "instantly turned to cinders", "blood splashed/fountained" etc. Most of the violence will be performed by the protagonist, some of it before he reaches his teens. If such scenes bother you, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have sexual content. It's there for a reason. Once again, these scenes will not be explicit. Genitals will be mentioned sometimes, but never described in detail. Nude bodies will be described in passing, without too many specific details. If you're afraid of nipples, you should probably give Wolf a pass. - The story will have a decent amount of cursing. If you haven't given up by now, this is unlikely to bother you. Still, I believe I should forewarn you that a number of curse words will be making appearance from time to time. - The story will have no small amount of loss for the main character. If you enjoy novels in which everything is fine, the protagonist makes it at the last moment and saves the day... This is not such a story. Life happens. As a reader, I'm annoyed with heroes making it in the nick of time, so for the sake of fairness I used dice on a number of occasions, making do with the result. Sometimes it was anticlimactic, sometimes it was tragic and it led to the story you see before you. Dedication: This story is written for Tired Mom and Wolf, whose arrival the rest of the pack is eagerly awaiting. Thanks: I would like to thank Tired Mom for her proofreading and encouragement over the years. I would like to thank you, Dear Reader, for taking the time to read this big pile of words.
