“Do you have E-S-P TV?”
He raised an eyebrow. “That’s two questions.”
“Okay, well, I can’t count, obviously. But they’re both just as important.”
“Yeah, I think I do,” he said. “Why?”
“Because the Melody Morgan biography airs tonight and I’m not missing it.” I kissed his chin. “Even for you.”
He laughed. “Oh, I see how it is.”
“You know how I feel about my queen.”
“Oh, I’m aware.” He slid my hair behind my ear. “I’ll make sure you don’t miss the show, baby. I’ll even pop the popcorn and pour the wine.”
“This is why you’re my favorite,” I said. “Now, kiss me, then show me the rest of the house.”
He chuckled, then obliged.
An hour later, we curled up on the sofa, a giant bowl of popcorn between us and the surround sound primed and ready to deliver the sound of perfection.
The biography began with Melody’s back story, pictures of her early life floating across the screen as her music played quietly under them, then a live concert came up and Flash let out a quiet grunt.
“What?”
“It doesn’t matter how often I see him, it still blows my mind that Train’s in her band.”
I groaned. “I still can’t believe you’re that close to someone who’s fucking married to the woman, and I still haven’t met her.”
“Well, if you hadn’t ghosted me for so long, you’d have met her when I did,” he pointed out.
I chucked popcorn at him.
He laughed. “I promise that the second they get back in town, you’ll meet her.”
“Right, she’s in Atlanta filming Flowers on Fire.”
Her hit song had been the inspiration for a movie, and she’d been approached by one of the best directors of the modern day, which was the only reason she’d agreed to do it.
“I’m a little scared that you know that,” Flash said.
“It’s public knowledge, honey.”
“Well, when they get back, you’ll meet her.”
I nodded. “Okay. I can’t wait.”
“Do you want to finish watching the documentary now?”
“Yes. I think I’m going to need the rest of that bottle of wine, though.”
He laughed. “I can make that happen.”
Leaning down, he kissed me quickly, grabbing the wine from the kitchen, then we snuggled back up on the sofa and we finished the documentary.
