He chuckles.

"Wouldn't be the first time seeing them. Besides, most the time I am walking mostly naked or fully naked when I'm not expecting anybody."

"That explains your obsession with hanging out in your boxers."

Ele muttered,

"So we should actually discuss the whole sex thing. If we're going to live together, we should know what our expectations are."

"Would prefer to wait until marriage or engagement. Wouldn't want to be dating and end up having a kid."

He states matter-of-factly.

His words and the curtness of them somewhat hurt Ele, they had been talking about kids and a future together but she swallowed the feelings down. She reminded herself that the two of them had only been dating a week, there was plenty of time for their future.

"Right."

She said, keeping her voice even and normal,

"That would be a bummer."

"Making out isn't included in that."

He says with a laugh. Suddenly yawning loudly.

"Now that was a hell of a yawn."

Glad for a change in subject, Ele teased,

"Oh am I boring you? Setting boundaries and expectations for living together?"

"Well, keep in mind it is 3 hours later here."

He chuckles. Yawning yet again.

"Okay, my body is saying. Get your ass to bed. I think I will listen to it. Text the bodyguard again babe, or call him, I will let Vale know you haven't heard back from him. He should be able to get in contact with him and get something done."

"I will once we hang up."

Ele promised, looking out the patio door to the cityscape outside her window,

"I love you, Tyler."

"Love you too, Ele. Good night."

He says hanging up. Getting ready for bed as soon as he hangs up. He hops into bed a little later and falls asleep.

Hanging up, Ele texted the bodyguard and went back to work cleaning up and doing dishes until later in the night. She didn't feel like sleeping, and the idea that her phone would ring any moment kept Ele on edge.

Around three in the morning, Ele finally fell asleep on her couch with the TV on.

Waking up in the morning, Tyler gets ready for work. He drives there in his dune buggy, getting looks left and right. As he gets a mile away from the mall he hears a horn and a police siren. Pulling over he shuts it off and a young police officer walks up.

"Do you have license and registration for this thing?"

"Yes I do, gotta get out to get it though cuz it is in the compartment on the back."

He unbuckles and hops out walking to the back. Pulling out the license, registration and insurance card, handing it over to the officer.

"I am guessing you are fairly new on the force, aren't you?"

"Why would you think that?"

"Cuz all the people at the county and state police post here in the city have been told my buggy is legal."

"Really?"

"Yeah, I have been driving it around here for like 4 years now."

The guy looks over everything.

"Well then. I sure have egg on my face."

He laughs.

"Sorry about that. Just most the time you see people on ATV's around here they are driving illegally."

He puts the papers in the compartment.

"Have a nice day."

"You too."

He hops back in and takes off, making it to the mall once again for the day.

Ele slept for only a couple hours until she woke from the sun shining through her patio window. Groaning and getting up, Ele stretched her cramped muscles and saw a message left on her phone,

Text me your address.

The number was the same as the one she had been calling, so Ele did what he asked then texted Tyler,

The guy texted me. Kate is coming over after work, but I'm going to the post office and bank soon to change my address.

Alright, he will keep your mom and Twitchy McKnobgobbler away from you.

Sending the text he chuckles.

I am loving coming up with new unflattering nicknames for him.

Twitchy McKnobgobbler???

Ele snorted a laugh then got ready to go out. Choosing to be a bit more incognito, Ele put her her jeans and Tyler's sweatshirt. Checking that she had her phone, wallet, and keys, Ele went out in the hallway and down to the lobby. Checking around her, and feeling like she was on the run, Ele went out to the sidewalk and began walking to the post office a few blocks away.

Shifty McNardGargler.

He laughs sending the text.

Giggling at the text, Ele typed back,

Snotty Choadchoker

Sniffy Pudnibbler.

Tyler begins laughing out loud at the ridiculous of their back and forth insults.

They continued the made up insults, Ele laughing as she walked until she arrived at the post office. Trying to compose herself, Ele typed,

I'm at the post office! Time to be serious, tell me something serious!

An Upholsterer is setup in the hall in front of my shop, they came in to talk with me and I might get a custom skin for the racing seats in the Miata. I am getting a Godzilla put in the lining on one, anything you wanna see on the other?

Sending the text he looks up at the front of the shop, watching for people to show up.

Mouth dropping open, Ele immediately started typing as she walked into the office,

You are not putting Godzilla on my beautiful baby! Eventually I'll be the one driving her!

Waiting in line, Ele sent that text and then started another,

But I do want white lace patterning if they can do that.
