Everything else isn't going anywhere. Take the nap now.

Knowing full well that he would have all the time in the world to explore his new home Cody decided to put it off for now and opt for a much needed nap. The cab ride from his hometown to the boarding house had been a long one and even though it was early afternoon a little extra sleep certainly wouldn't hurt him. He followed Vivian's instructions and made his way into the room he would be sharing with Sam for the night.

The room itself was more impressive than he had expected. It was larger than his own room back at home and was finely decorated in real wooden furniture and had a gorgeous view of the grounds behind the house. In the very center of the room was a king sized bed that looked like it could easily hold three people, looked soft enough that it could be compared to a cloud and, to Cody's curiosity, had a large mirror mounted on the ceiling just above it. If he had to share a room with someone he certainly didn't mind sharing this one. Only having a single bed struck him as a small inconvenience but in one that size there was certainly no lack of room for two people to sleep comfortably.

Cody kicked off his shoes casually by the corner of the room and leapt on to the bed with a satisfying oomf. The mattress and blankets there really WERE soft! Soft enough that he almost felt like dozing off right away. It was only when a somewhat impatient voice was heard clearing it's throat by the door that he looked up.

"Want to explain what you're doing on my bed?" asked the voice by the door. Cody set upright enough to take a look at them and found himself gazing on a redheaded girl roughly his own age.

"Oh, um, this is yours?" he asked, somewhat confused as he was certain he'd gone to the room he was instructed to. "I'm sorry, I was told this was Sam's room."

"It is." came the redheads reply. "I'm Sam. And you're on my bed."

THAT was Sam? He had been set up to share the night with a girl? To say he was taken by surprise was a bit of an understatement. Sam certainly wasn't what he had expected. Not only was she a girl but she was quite the looker as well. Long red hair hung down past her shoulders that served as beautiful contrast to her light skin color, scattered freckles, and emerald green eyes. She stood perhaps an inch taller than Cody and had a body that looked like one familiar with hiking and climbing. Her attire matched her tomboy build with a loose t-shirt pulled over her average sized breasts and a pair of jean shorts hugging snuggly to pert ass. He must have staring because Sam snapped her fingers to get his attention back.

"Hey. Stranger. Do you plan on getting OFF of my bed?" she asked, a look of mild annoyance on her face.

"I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself! My name's Cody and uh... I think i'm your roommate tonight" he said, extending his hand to shake hers but finding her only staring at him in reply. "It's uh... just, well, i've just moved in and Ms. Mitchell said since my room wasn't ready that i'd be staying here tonight."

"She did, huh?"

"Well... yeah..."

"Funny. She didn't ask me about that." Sam shook her head and crossed her arms. "In fact I never agreed to play host to anybody at all. Even if I DID offer to share my room I sure haven't offered up my bed."

Cody was already sitting up and preparing to leave. "I'm sorry. I'll go find Ms. Mitchell and find anothe-"

"Ah ah! I didn't say I WOULDN'T let you stay." Sam cut him off, pointing a finger at him that made him freeze in his place. "But if you're going to be here the night we're gonna need to come to a little arrangement."
