Jake had visited the bank machine and pulled into the parking lot in front of his apartment building and parked.  He got out of the car taking his packsack with him.  As he was heading across the parking lot he heard a voice say “Hi.”  He stopped and looked around and saw 2 girls standing next to a pickup that was filled with boxes.


    “Were you talking to me?” asked Jake, to the 2 girls.


    “Yes,” said the first girl. “We were just moving in and have all this stuff to move.  Could you help us? By the way I am Mandy and this is my sister Cindy.”


    “It is best not to get too close.”  Said Hal.  “Remember what happened with Laurie.”


    “I just will not touch them.”  Thought Jake.  “I cannot let them move all these boxes by themselves.”


    “Ok, but be careful.”  Warned Hal.


    “Hi, I’m Jake.”  Said Jake with a smile.  “I live on the 3^rd floor.  I do not mind moving a few boxes.  I have to warn you I am just coming back from camping and have not showered in a week however.”


    Cindy and Mandy smiled back.  They were glad that Jake was going to help.


    “Oh thank you.  Some of these boxes are too heavy for us and we will keep upwind of you.” Said Mandy with a grin.  “Can you get anyone else to help?”


    “I can move it all, I am stronger then I look.”  Said Jake. “Take a couple of the lighter boxes and lead me to your apartment.”


    They looked at him dubiously.  He looked pretty slim but in good shape.


    “Are you sure?”  They asked.


    “Lead on Macduff”.  Quipped Jake with a bow.


    “Ooh Shakespeare.”  Said Mandy with a smile. “Be careful or I may swoon.”


    “Then I will catch you milady.”  Said Jake with a grin.  Jake was enjoying himself, these girls seemed really nice and were also very cute.


    “Be careful!”  warned Hal. “It could be the hormones in you.”


    “I will be careful.”  Thought Jake.  “There is nothing wrong with helping two damsels in distress.”


    Jake walked over and picked up 3 boxes and turned to the girls, waiting for them to lead the way.  They looked at him and at the 3 boxes.


    “Are you sure you can carry that much?”  Asked Cindy.


    “No problem, just lead the way and I will get this done in no time.”  Answered Jake.


    The girls walked toward the stairs.  Jake walked behind them.  He was admiring the view, both were wearing tight shorts and they walked very nicely.


    “What floor?”  asked Jake.


    “The third.” Said Cindy. “3C.”


    “Cool, I am in 3A.”  said Jake. “It is a small 1 bedroom.”


    “Ours has 2 bedrooms.” Said Mandy. “We are sisters but do not want to share a room.  We had to do that at home.”


    They quickly went up the stairs and to the apartment.  Mandy opened the door and gestured Jake in.


    “No, ladies first.”  Said Jake with a smile.


    “Such gallantry.”  Said Mandy and she curtsied before entering the apartment.The narrative has been illicitly obtained; should you discover it on Amazon, report the violation.


    Jake lay the boxes on the floor and said. “You start unpacking stuff and I will get the rest.”


    He left the apartment and went to get more boxes.  The next hour was a flurry of activity as Jake unpacked the truck and carried the boxes and other stuff to the apartment.  He then set up the beds for them.  He looked around at the apartment and said. “I think everything is up here now.”


    Cindy and Mandy looked at each other and then at Jake.


    “Are you Superman in disguise?”  asked Cindy as she looked around. “It took 4 people hours to load that truck.  It took you an hour to do it pretty well by yourself.”


    Jake laughed.  “I can show you my costume later, but I do not look good in tights.”


    Cindy and Mandy both giggled.  Secretly they thought he looked pretty hot and would love to see him in tights or better nothing!  Both had been sneaking glances at him during the move and were getting more and more attracted to him.


    “Is there anything else?”  asked Jake.  “I am really sweaty and hungry.  I have not had a shower in a week and have been eating camp food as well.   If you do not need more help I will head to my apartment.”


    The girls looked at him and admired his sweaty body and actually rather enjoyed his smell.  There was something intoxicating about it.


    “We do not mind.” Said Cindy stepping closer.  As she did so she tripped over a box and started to fall to the floor.  Jake jumped forward and caught here before she hit the floor.  A shock went through both of them.  Cindy looked up at him with a glazed look in her eyes.


    “Now you have done it!”  shouted Hal.


    Jake quickly put her down and moved back.  He felt a major attraction right now to Cindy.


    “Oh shit.”  He thought.  “This is bad!”


    “Get out of there.”  Said Hal.


    Jake grabbed his bag and backed out of the room.


    “Ok I have to go.”  He said. “If you need any more help, feel free to ask.”


    You are welcome.” Said Mandy and gave Cindy a push. “Say thanks Cindy.”


    “Thank you.” Said Cindy shaking her head.  Her head felt muddled, she could not think clearly.  All she could think about was Jake and how wonderful he smelt and how strong his arms felt around her.


    “What were you going to do for supper?”  asked Mandy.


    “I was going to order some pizza and a beer probably.”  Said Jake.


    “Two of my favorite foods.” Said Mandy with a grin. “Tell you what, we will treat you in thanks for your help.”


    “Get out of there.”  Said Hal again. “Tell them no!”


    “No, no,” said Jake “I was just being neighbourly.  There is no need to do that.”  As he said this he backed toward the door.


    “No we insist.”  She said as she looked around the apartment.  “We only have one problem however, we have no table or chairs, sofa or anything.  What kind of pizza and beer do you like?  I will pick it up and we can meet you in your apartment.  I will not take no for an answer.  You go and get a shower and I will get everything.  Cindy can finish in here till I get back.”


    “I do not think I can get out of this Hal.” Thought Jake. “I will make sure I do not touch either of them and make it quick.”


    “Ok Jake.”  Said Hal. “Just be careful.  I am running tests on your blood samples but am not sure how this will affect human females.  I know how they affect females in my creator species.”


    “Ok Mandy.”  Said Jake with a sigh. “I like any pizza as long as there are no mushrooms on it and I like Bud Light, or Iceberg beer.  But I will drink anything actually.  I will leave my door unlocked, come over when you are ready.”


    “Ok, sounds like a plan.”  Said Mandy with a smile. “It is the least we can do after all the help you gave us.  Right Cindy?”


    Cindy still had a dazed look on her face, she shook her head and smiled at them both.


    “Ok, I am up for anything.”  Said Cindy as she gave a smoldering look to Jake.


    Jake and Mandy both left and Cindy went into her room and lay on her bed.  What was wrong with her?  All of a sudden all she could think about was Jake and his smell was so erotic.  She was getting so excited just thinking about him.  This was not like her, she had had no serious boyfriends and sex on the few occasions she had it was a quick drunken romp, with her getting nothing out of it except messy.  She seemed to be drawn to Jake and could not understand this.


    Her whole life had been a struggle.  Growing up poor, her father and mother working menial jobs just to make ends meet.  Her goal was to get out of the community and never have to worry about money and not struggling.  School was a battle she won, getting the highest grades in her school.  Then off the university on student loans which was not enough to meet her needs.  Working part time while working on her business degree.  Not enough sleep or time and now she was finished and had a job at a local firm.  She had a job, an apartment, she had made it. And now her sister was moving in with her.  She sighed.


    She loved her younger sister but she never had it as tough.  When her sister wanted or needed something it seemed to appear magically, whether at school, growing up or now living with her after high school.  She would pay the rent, the bills and her sisters tuition at the college for her to do office Administration.  That is what family did.  Her sister was the beautiful one, always seem to have boyfriends and went to parties.  Things she never had time for.  It was all over whelming and now Jake was affecting her and she could not understand it at all.  Even now she wanted to go over to his apartment just to be around him.  With her luck her sister would go after him.  She was so tired.  She closed her eyes and soon fell asleep.
