Walking over to open the cabinet where the trashcan was, he threw the paper in it. In the fridge, he found a huge sub sandwich already prepared. There were fruits and a vegetable platter. Jinx had restocked his beer and added bottles of water. It was more food than Drake had seen in his apartment in a long time.
Drake shut the fridge and glanced around. She had cleaned again, and not just the kitchen. Somehow she had managed to clean the carpets, getting the beer stains almost completely out. He checked the bathroom, spotless. She had even been careful to return all the bottles to their exact order.
Moving down the hall to his bedroom, Drake stopped in his tracks. She’d made his bed. There were two cards on his dresser. One was for a dry cleaner that picked up and delivered clothes, and the second was for a maid that serviced other apartments in his building that would come and help maintain everything. It was like a completely different apartment, but quiet--way too quiet.
In a short amount of time, she had taken a place that he sometimes hung out but mostly slept at into a home, clean and organized. She didn’t have to do all that, but she did. A simple thank you or a six pack of beer would have sufficed.
Jinx was a thoughtful person. She saw a need and helped out. She volunteered with sick children, helped her mother take care of her sick grandparents, and had saved up for months to buy tickets for her grandpa to go to a sports game. That was who she was, and he really admired her for it.
Jinx was special and the more time he spent around her, the more special she became. It was best for her to move into her own place but Drake didn’t want her to go. And not just because she cleaned his damn apartment.
What if he asked her to stay? Maybe they could get a two bedroom apartment if that would make her feel better. Hell, what was he thinking? He barely knew her, but Drake felt like he knew Jinx better than some of the people he had worked with for years. She had a way of getting people to open up to her, making it easy to talk to her.
Maybe he just needed a good fuck. Yeah, he would go to the club and find a lady to spend a night of fun with. Forget Jinx, she was off limits.
