Alex was puzzled at Ash's shy behavior, but he just thought she was getting charmed by his looks after she finally cleared all her negative thoughts from the traumatic past.
She used to get bullied, rather assaulted by Jake. When they met, her eyes were dull and distant, gloomy, and depressed, barely speaking properly, just cussing.
Before he could go grab his apron and start the shift, he remembered the keys in his pocket. The key to his new apartment. Four keys total: the main one and three dupes. He hesitated, mind racing through how to convince the two girls. It wouldn't be easy. Pride, suspicion, fear of obligation—they'd never accept a "gift" like free rent. But roommates? That felt mutual. Practical.
He pulled the keys out and held them up casually, silver glinting under the fluorescent lights.
"I'm renting an apartment" he said, voice calm but direct. "Hm, I know it's sudden, but… wanna be my roommates?"
He looked at the two girls with a gentle smile.
Ash's reaction was immediate—her cheeks flared even brighter, ears turning scarlet. She squeaked softly, eyes wide, fingers gripping the counter edge like it was the only thing keeping her grounded. She couldn't even speak at first, just stared at the keys, then at him, then away again—overwhelmed, flustered, golden eyes flickering nervously.
That was an unusual reaction to being asked to move in with him, but he only thought of it as her girlish worries of living with a man for the first time. He turned his gaze to the mommy.
Mary's eyes locked on the keys first. Her radiant smile faltered, replaced by a bittersweet expression. She looked up at Alex slowly, golden eyes dimming with quiet sadness.
"Congrats…" she said softly. "But I don't think we can afford it. The store is still doing bad… and I have you and Anna as part-timers. I'm still paying you for the work, so… uhm, I don't think I can…"
Her voice trailed off. The joy of possibly carrying his baby faded behind a bitter smile. She and Ash had been living in the store's vacant back rooms for months—cramped, noisy, uncomfortable. The constant buzzing of coolers and fans made proper sleep impossible.
Before buying the store, they'd rented tiny, old, cheap apartments in the pasrt. Run-down places with peeling paint and thin walls. This new apartment sounded like a dream, but dreams cost money they didn't have.
Alex noticed the sadness immediately. He shook his head gently.
"It's quite cheap" he said. "Just around(…) for each. I know the landlord and got a great deal. Plus, I already paid for the first month. The store will definitely do better."
He smiled gently, voice steady and reassuring.
Mary hesitated, eyes searching his face. She was willing to give it a go after his persistent. She knew the store was terrible for living, but she also wanted Ash to have a better place. A real home.
She also thought of him being with them every day, living together… it fulfilled some of her deepest fantasies and desires. Living under the same roof as the man she loved, waking up to him, falling asleep beside him, having sleepless and passionate nights... Her cheeks were beet red instantly.
She bit her lip, then nodded slowly.
"I can decide when we visit." she said quietly. "Is that okay?"
Alex nodded in agreement, smile warm. "Of course. It's not far away"
He turned back to the silent Ash, still blushing furiously at the counter.
"And you, Ash?"
She squeaked shyly and shakily, voice barely audible. Glancing back and forth between him and her blushing mom. "I-I don't mind… I can work extra to cover my part of the rent…"
Alex was still confused by her overly shyness, but he nodded silently.
He added by telling them the location—close to both the store and college for him and Ash, and a possible time for their first visit.
Then he went to grab his apron to start his shift. He wasn't planning to work at first; he only had an evening shift scheduled, but since classes ended early, he didn't mind. Plus, Anna should come soon for her shift too.
The three worked around casually. Ash remained at the counter, her shy blushing face never lifting fully—cheeks glowing, golden eyes darting away every time he passed. Mary and Alex moved through the aisles, cleaning shelves, restocking, making everything neat and up to date. Mary stayed close—brushing against him frequently, golden eyes lingering lovingly, occasional soft smiles when their hands touched.
An hour passed.
The store bell rang—not a customer, but Anna.
She stepped in casually, wearing tight black leggings with white stripes that hugged her huge bubble butt and thick thighs like a second skin—fabric stretched taut over every curve, outlining the perfect roundness of her soft buttocks and the powerful flex of her legs with each step.
On the top half, she wore a white shirt clung to her torso, emblazoned with a big "A" surrounded by cute tiny hearts hearts. Thin material stretched tight over her large tits, deep cleavage spilling invitingly, nipples faintly visible as stiff peaks beneath the fabric.
Her slender waist flared dramatically into wide hips, athletic body toned yet plush in all the right places. Short navy blue hair bounced with each excited step, green eyes sparkling the moment she spotted Alex.
She knew he wasn't supposed to be there—she'd checked his schedule, but the sight of him made her light up like a firework.
"Daaaaarling!"
She hurried over with open arms, practically jumping at him while he was working at one of the shelves. She hugged him tight, squishing her enormous plushy breast around his arm—soft, heavy pillows flattening against him, warm and moldable, nipples scraping teasingly through the thin shirt as she pressed close.
Her bubble ass jiggled with the momentum, leggings stretched obscenely over the round cheeks. She kissed his cheeks repeatedly; quick, needy pecks. Then captured his lips in a deep, hungry kiss, tongue flicking playfully against his before pulling back with a bright, mischievous grin.
Alex grabbed her cheek and pinched it teasingly, making her grunt cutely.
"Ouch ouch! What did I do, daaarlingg!" she whined dramatically, rubbing the spot with exaggerated pout, green eyes sparkling with fake hurt but full of adoration.
Alex smiled, voice low and teasing. "I heard you posted my photos on your socials. I don't remember agreeing on that."
Obviously, he wasn't mad at her for publishing their sweet couple photos.
Anna froze for half a second, then laughed nervously, rubbing the back of her head.
"Ehehe… yeah… sorry♡. I got carried away. You just look so good in every picture! I couldn't help it~"
She batted her lashes innocently, pressing closer again—tits squishing against his chest once more, hips brushing his teasingly.
Alex sighed, but his smile was fond. "I'll let it slide this time… but I need a favor from you."
