Chapter 6
Luke came out with Strawberries, and ice cream. He handed Reid a bowl, and sat down with his.
"This looks good no cookies from Grandma"? Reid smiled, as Luke shook his head.
"Oh she will make some more for me this weekend. I will have to tell her to pack more, since you enjoy them so much"
"Yes Grandma's cookies are so good, better than the ones in the store".
"I will tell her, wait until you taste her brownies".
"Oh I love brownies, can you visit her sooner, or can she come over, and bake for us".
"Reid tell me a bit about yourself, I know you are a Doctor. I can see you love sweets, you have some nasty habits, but that is about it"
"Not much to say, I'm single, I'm a Doctor, I love to eat. I love sports, I'm a only child, and I don't see my family often. I have a busy life, I have a bad habits, but living alone, I never had a problem until now.".
"There isn't a problem, I'm sure we will be fine. You will have to get use to living with someone".
"Yeah I guess, you will have to get use to cleaning up after me". Reid laughed as Luke coughed while drinking his coffee.
"Just kidding, I will try to be clean, but I can't promise you". Reid looked at his watch, "Oh the game is on, do you mind"?
"No but what about the dishes"?
"Well you have a dishwasher right"?
"Yeah"
"Well you don't need help to load it do you "?
"Go watch TV, I will clean up". Reid helped carry the dishes, than he ran into the living room putting the TV on. Luke was cleaning up, he laughed, Reid had the TV on pretty loud. Reid yelled when his team hit a home run making Luke jump. He wasn't a sports person so this was going to be something he had to get use to . Luke loaded the dishwasher, than wiped the table down. He walked into the living room, "I guess your team is winning"?
"So far they have let me down from time to time. I have a $100.00 bet on this game. I better not lose, or I will be broke for the week". Luke sat down, "Why bet than, I don't understand that"?
"Because if you win, I get triple the money"
"Yeah if you lose, you have nothing".
"Yeah you are smart". Luke smiled, "What is that guy doing"?
"What you don't know anything about baseball"?
"Not really well Ethan my brother plays. I'm not a huge fan, he is up to bat right"?
"Yes". Reid was explaining the game, Luke was listening, and he kind of enjoyed it. They were having fun, Luke was actually starting to like the game. Reid put his feet on the table, that was one thing Luke hated, but he didn't want to be a nag. Reid could see it was bothering him, so Reid lifted his feet down.
"Sorry this is your furniture, I shouldn't do that"
"No it is ok, I just don't do it myself"
"You don't like feet on your table right"?
"Well yes"
"Than don't say it is ok, just tell me "
"Your mad, I don't want to be a nag"
"I'm not mad, just tell me don't be all pouty".
"I wasn't you are a jerk". Luke laughed, so did Reid, they both looked back at the TV, and continued watching the game.

Chapter 7
It was 11 pm, when they went upstairs, to go to bed. Reid smiled, "I'm going to take a shower, do you mind"?
"No go ahead goodnight Reid"
"Goodnight Luke, today was fun, thanks for everything".
"No problem". Luke went into his room, shutting the door sitting on his bed. He got up changing into his pajamas, and was about to get in bed. He couldn't remember if he locked the back door? He walked out of the room, and was walking by the bathroom, the door was partially open. He saw Reid, he felt bad, he ran downstairs, feeling guilty that he looked in the washroom. He started to laugh, seeing Reid like that wasn't to good just before bedtime. He checked everything, and was walking upstairs. Reid came out of the bathroom in his boxers.
"Oh I thought you were going to bed"?
"I was I had to check the back door, I'm going to bed now".
'Goodnight again". Reid walked into his room, shutting the door. Luke was walking by the bathroom, he stood staring. Their was a towel on the floor, Reid shaving cream on the counter. He left toothpaste in the sink, which drove him crazy. He held the wall, but he decided he had to put some rules down, before it got worse. He walked over to Reid's bedroom door. He knocked Reid yelled, "Come in"
Luke opened the door, "Reid I'm not trying to be mean, but you left the bathroom a mess. Please don't leave wet towels on the floor, and toothpaste in the sink. I hate that it is so gross, I just want you to keep the place clean".
"Oh God sorry I'm not perfect". Reid walked out picking up the towel hanging it up. He rinsed out the sink, and than he picked up the shaving cream, and was walking to his room. He was about to shut the door, Luke yelled, "Reid"
"What now, is there something else I did wrong"?
"No, I just don't want you angry"
"I get it, we are right out of that show the Odd couple you the neat freak, and me the slob. I'm sorry, I would rather be the slob, you need serious help Luke"
"Why because I like my place neat"
"No you have a obsessive behavior but that is ok". Luke laughed, "You really are annoying, and you are a slob"
"I'm so glad we figured that out, do you want me to leave"?
"No I want you to just respect my wishes"
"Fine I will try, can I go to bed now"? Reid slammed his door shut, leaving Luke shocked, and upset. Luke walked to his door, he walked to his bed, and sat down. He was so upset, he was about to lay down, when someone knocked on his door.
"Yes"
Reid opened the door, "I'm sorry, I have a anger management problem, I will respect your place, but you have to realize, I'm not a perfectionist, and I can't live like that"
"I know just hang up your towels, and don't leave toothpaste in the sink, I'm not asking for much"
Reid smiled, "I will try, but if I forget, just tell me. Sorry about slamming the door in your face. Goodnight Luke, don't let the bed bugs bite"
"There is no bed bugs in my home Reid"
"Not yet".
"Oh gross stop I won't be able to sleep". Reid shut the door, Luke could hear him laughing, but he smiled, and got under his covers, and fell asleep.

Chapter 8
Luke woke up at 7am, he got up going to the bathroom. He noticed Reid's bedroom door open. He walked downstairs, finding him in the kitchen, making himself some toast with peanut butter. Luke walked in, "I have eggs , and waffles, why are you having toast"?
"Oh I love this, do you want some"?
"Not right now it is to early for me. I'm going to have a coffee, want one"?
"Sure"
Luke was putting water in the kettle, and than he grabbed two mugs. Luke walked over sitting down, "You get up this early everyday"?
"No I couldn't sleep I guess it was being somewhere new".
"I'm sorry"
"Don't be I will survive, I don't have to work today"
"I don't either, I'm going over to my Grandma's Emma's place today. I have to help her do some stuff around her place.
"Grandma Emma the one with the cookies"?
"Yes Reid, I will probably bring some home, maybe some brownies too"
'Oh I would love to meet her someday, she sounds cool"
"She is so is my Grandma Lucinda, they are so different, but both of them are extremely strong women. Would you like to meet my Grandma you can swim down by the Pond, you would love it"
"Oh no I wouldn't want to do that, I'm fine here"
"No come I want you too, you can help me do some of the chores"
'Oh no chores for me, I have to do them here, I'm not doing them somewhere else too"
"Fun stuff my Dad hurt his back, you have to help with the horses"
"Like shovel the crap they put everywhere"?
"Yeah and brush them, and ride them"
"Oh ride them sounds cool, I could handle that"
"Great after you have your coffee, we will go over to Grandma Emma's"
"Wow we are going early maybe she will make us another breakfast"
"You love to eat Reid I'm surprised you are not the size of a house"
"Ouch I'm active so it saves me I guess'
Luke laughed, he got up getting them coffee. He walked over asking Reid if he wanted cream and sugar. He said yes he brought it over Luke had his black. Reid put some cream in his cup than he put a lot of sugar in, than was stirring it. Luke sat looking at him, "OMG Reid all that sugar".
'Yeah I like my coffee sweet"
"Yuck whatever you like"
Reid smiled, "you really don't get me do you Luke"?
"I'm just kidding you, I just get amazed at your eating habits".
Reid smiled, "Oh everyone does, but I guess I was deprived as a child so I'm making it up now"
"Deprived what do you mean"?
"Oh nothing I won't bother you with my sad childhood. I'm going up to change, what do you wear to go horseback riding"?
"Jeans would be fine, don't wear expensive shoes, you may step in something , and ruin them". Reid made a face, and turned and ran upstairs. Luke looked at the table, and laughed, "Oh Reid you get away with not cleaning up after yourself all the time". He rinsed the dishes off, than put them into the dishwasher. He finished, he ran upstairs to change, he actually was looking forward to taking Reid to the farm, he just hoped he enjoyed himself.

Chapter 9
Luke and Reid got to the farm, he took him in to meet his Grandma.
"Hi Grandma this is my roommate Reid, he came by to help out with the horses"
"Hello Reid nice to meet you"
"Nice to meet you too, and by the way, your cookies are amazing."
"Reid you are to much, Grandma he loves your cookies, he is hoping we get to bring some cookies home tonight".
"I already made you a batch, would you like one"?
"Yes please". Reid said, but Luke said he would wait. She gave Reid a couple of cookies, and offered him a coffee.
"No Mame the cookies are enough". Luke smiled, "We will go out to the Stables, we will be back around lunch time. "
"I will have your lunch ready, when you get here". Luke walked out Reid followed him, they were going to the stables. Reid was looking around, Luke yelled for him to watch, but it was to late Reid stepped in some horse maneuver.
"Oh gross Luke, this is disgusting".
"You have to watch where your going, I will take you over to the hose, we can get that crap off your shoe". They walked over Luke turned the water on, and cleaned off his shoe. He turned spraying Reid making him yell. Reid grabbed the hose, they soaked each other, they both were laughing. Luke yelled, "OK lets stop, now we have to work all wet". Reid smiled, "Well we can strip down to our boxers"
"No we can't my Grandma could come out any moment"
"Oh right, but she probably saw a man in boxers before Luke"
"Oh Reid Oliver, shame on you that is my Grandma". Reid was laughing so hard , Luke laughed to. They walked in, Luke handed Reid some gloves, and a pitchfork , and told him to clean out the stale. Reid smiled, "What are you going to do"?
"Get the horse ready to ride"
"Oh I shovel crap, and you get the horse ready, something is wrong with this picture".
"No do you know how to saddle horses"?
"No"
"Well pitchfork away". Reid walked over, and was working, Luke couldn't keep his eyes off of him. He looked fine in his black jeans. Reid turned, "Are you going to do something, or just watch me work"
"Oh God sorry" Luke turned, but he couldn't help but smile he couldn't get Reid out of his mind. Reid finished with the stale, he walked out, "what next"?
"Do you want to take these two horses out for a ride first, than we can clean out the rest of the stales"?
"Sure"
Reid walked over, he was scared he never really rode a horse before, but he wasn't going to tell Luke that. He tried to put his foot up, to get on the horse, but he was struggling. Luke was laughing, he knew he didn't know what he was doing.
"Reid you never rode a horse before have you"?
"Yeah don't you dare laugh at me, it is my runners". Luke walked over, "Let me help you", Reid put his foot up, but Luke put his hands on his butt to boost him up. Reid sat on the horse, "Oh you touched my butt, Luke Snyder you did that on purpose"
"Oh right Reid". Luke walked over he whispered, "You are right Reid"
"What"?
"Nothing Reid, lets go riding". Luke got up, and smiled, "We will take it slow ok"
"Fine with me". They both started to ride the horse out of the stable.

Chapter 10
Luke and Reid were riding, Luke was smiling at Reid. He was doing ok, but Reid was obviously nervous.
"Reid are you ok"?
"Yeah I'm fine". Luke smiled, "We can get off for awhile, lets stop by that fence". They rode over, and stopped by the fence, and got off the horse. Luke tied them up, and smiled, 'Want to go down by the Pond for a moment"?
"Sure". Reid was walking but his butt hurt, but he wasn't going to admit it. They got to the Pond, and they sat on the hill. Reid smiled, "This land is beautiful, why don't you live here, instead of in the city"?
"I love it here, but I don't want to live with my Grandma"
"Yeah I see your point".
"Reid you don't talk about your past"
"It isn't very exciting, I wouldn't want to bore you".
"I'm sure you wouldn't bore me Reid".
"Luke you are nice, but lets change the subject".
"Fine sorry if I offended you".
"You didn't offend me Luke don't get all sulky "
"Sulky that isn't me Doc".
"What is it like being born rich"?
"I don't consider myself as a rich man, I'm just like everyone else Reid"
"Sure Richie Rich, you are so young, you have more than the average young person has".
"I work just like you".
"I know you work, I'm not putting you down. I wish I was rich, I'm doing fine now, but I worked my butt off to get here".
"Being a Doctor is a great accomplishment Reid".
"Well it was worth it, and I'm the best by far".
"You are to much Reid". They both laugh, as Reid looked at his watch. I guess we should continue our ride, lunch will be soon".
"You are hungry already, but you are right lunch will be at 12".
"Well lets get going than". Reid and Luke walked over to the horses, and got up. Reid smiled, "I did it myself without your help".
"I see that , I thought I would have to push you up again".
"Oh who is bad Luke".
"I didn't touch your butt on purpose Reid".
"Whatever where to now"?
"Over there than we can race back if you like"?
"No thanks I love being a Doctor, I don't want to be a Patient".
"You never really rode before have you"?
"Well not really when I was young, I rode a pony once"
"A pony Reid".
"Yeah it was cool". They both laugh, as they continued riding, and Luke said maybe they should go back to the stables. They rode over but slowly, and got off the horse. They brushed him down, after Luke took the saddles off of them. They put the horses in the stable, and fed them. Reid whispered, "You get feed before me, how fair is that"?
"I'm sure you will enjoy my Grandma's food better than what you are feeding these horses".
"Yeah I'm sure I will". They were walking over to the house, Reid stopped, "OMG my legs are so stiff, does this last long"?
"You will be sore for a little while, but you will be fine". They walk into the house, Emma smiled, "Hey you two, I have everything set up, I hope you like fried chicken, biscuits, and corn on the cob, and apple pie for dessert".
Reid smiled, "Yes Mame, I never had a lunch this good.". He sat down, Emma touched his shoulder, "Did you tend to the horses ok"?
"Yes but I stepped on". Luke ran over, "Reid no". Emma laughed, "Oh did you ruin your shoes Reid"?
"No they are fine, I took them off before coming in. I guess I will have to buy some cheap runners when I come over to help out. I sure love getting rewarded with food, for all my hard work". Emma smiled, "Dig in you too Luke".
Luke sat down so did Emma, they both were amazed at Reid, he ate like he never ate in weeks. He smiled, "What I love to eat, I guess you can tell".
"Eat I love that, I wish Luke would eat like you. He is way to skinny, but you are too".
Luke smiled, "Oh Grandma, I could never eat like Reid". They all laugh, and continued eating, Emma liked Reid he was different. She knew Lily liked Noah better, but Emma liked Reid there was something about him that appealed to her. She knew Reid was just Luke's roommate, but she knew they would be friends. She didn't know if Reid was gay, but she could see Luke loved being around Reid, so she hoped for Luke's sake Lily would be nice to Reid.

Chapter 12
Reid and Luke finished eating, and finished up with the chores around the farm. Emma packed them up some brownies, cookies, and some other dishes they just had to warm up for dinner. They both gave her a kiss goodbye, and were walking to the car. They were laughing, when Lily and Holden drove up.
"Luke you are going already"?
"Yes we have to get up early, we wanted to get home, and go for a swim first".
"Luke can I speak to you alone for a moment"? Luke smiled, "I will be right back". Luke walked over, and Reid could see Lily was saying something about him. Holden smiled, "Reid you are living with Luke I hear"
"Yes he invited me over to meet his Grandma, she is really cool"
"Yes she is my Mom".
"Oh sorry, I'm Reid you must be Mr. Snyder"
"Yes but call me Holden, so you are a Doctor at Oakdale Memorial"
"Yes just started there, it is cool so far".
"Oakdale is a cool place, but it is a small town"
"Yes it isn't Dallas, but I love it".
Reid turned when Luke yelled, "Mom me and Noah are over get over it".
"What if he comes back, and see you living with Reid"?
"Goodbye Mom, we are going home". Luke walked over, "Goodbye Dad, Reid lets get out of here". Reid walked over to the passenger side door, he said goodbye, and got in the car.
Luke pulled out, and was driving off.
"Lily why do you keep doing this, let him grow up, you can't dictate his life anymore"
"I don't like that guy, something about him"
"They are roommates, will you stop'. Holden walked into his Mom's house, and Lily ran in after him.
"Luke are you ok"?
"No, she is driving me crazy, I love her but she never stops".
"What happened"?
"She is talking about my ex, and she has no right to"
"Your Ex, does he live is Oakdale"?
"Not right now, but he may return. I cared for him but it is over".
"Him"
"Yes I'm gay Reid does that bother you"?
"No but this is weird"
"What you have a problem , give me a break in this day in age"
"No I don't have a problem, but I'm gay too"
"Oh man you are"?
"Yes Luke, but lets not talk about this now".
"What are the chances Reid, that is hilarious"
"Hilarious I'm not a freak"
"I guess I know that, I would be one too". They both smile, Luke wondered but he really couldn't tell if Reid was gay. He was kind of happy he was because he didn't know how Reid would react. It is pretty cool that he can be himself, but Reid being so good looking might be a problem". Reid smiled, "What are you thinking about"?
"About the pool and a couple of beers, I could use a swim right now".
"Me too but helping your Grandma was pretty cool. Oh I love the treats too, they smell so good"
"You can have one when we get home, my Grandma liked you a lot"
"I liked her too, I never really got to know my Grandma"
"Oh I have Grandma Lucinda, I hope she likes you, she is pretty nice"
"Your Mom doesn't like me but your Dad was pretty cool"
"Lets not worry about anyone tonight, lets just relax and enjoy the rest of the evening."
"Deal" Luke continued driving home, while Reid looked out the window.
