“When you’re ready, whether that’s tomorrow, a week, or a month from now,” He rolls his eyes dramatically at me, making me laugh. “I want you to move in with me. You don’t have to give up this place, your independence. But you are my girlfriend, and my girlfriend would live with me. And maybe give me oral for breakfast every day.” He smirks, totally sure of himself.
“What do I get?” I ask, giving him an inch. And the smile that takes over his face makes my heart physically ache.
He licks his lips as his head drops between my legs in an attempt to show me exactly what he has to offer.
I say attempt, but who am I trying to fool.
He had me at breakfast.

“If you’re not callingto tell me what happened with you and Elliot Wednesday night, then I don’t wanna know.” I tease, smiling down the phone as I dust my finger along the top of the computer. I’m in the studio office making sure it is somewhat tidy for Erin’s arrival on Sunday.
“Uh, what? Nothing happened.”
I hang up, giggling like a child.
She calls me back moments later.
“Stop that, nothing happened between me and Elliot, why would you think that?”
“You were glued to each other all evening then disappeared, so…”
“So… We chatted and then I went to bed. You’re way off on this one, Nina. You know me.”
“I do, and I also saw how you were with him. You were so relaxed around him Luce, you’re not fooling me.”
She hangs up. I frown down at the phone, shocked. I try to call her back but it goes to answerphone. Each time it beeps telling me ‘user busy’ I hit call back. I’m about to try her again when my phone starts ringing, and it’s a number I don’t know.
“Hello?”
“Pixie, I’m not boning Luce.”
“Elliot?” I grin. Did she phone him? “Have you tried?” I ask.
“Of course I have! Weeks ago, she wasn’t interested.”
“And Wednesday night? You disappeared.”
“She’s a good girl. We bounce off each other, but that’s it.”
I don’t know if I believe him, but what if it’s just me hoping for something that isn’t there?
“I’ve got my eye on you, Montgomery.”
“Hmmm, Mase not enough for you, Pixie, need me to show yo—“
“Goodbye, Elliot!” I hang up, shaking my head as I call Lucy. This time, she picks up.
“Okay, I believe you! But out of curiosity, why not Elliot?”
“I’m on my way to yours. I was hoping to borrow a top for dinner this evening. What time are you home?” she asks, completely ignoring me.
“We will discuss this later; this conversation is far from over! And not until after three. I have a one on one before I can leave. Will you still be there when I get home?”
“No, I have things to do this afternoon. Are we still meeting on Sunday? What time does Erin get in again?”
