Page 40 of Me For You
“Ordering in would be perfect.”
He nodded and left me to unpack. I removed my phone and tapped Marlee’s name for a video call.
I smiled widely as soon as her face was onscreen. I waved and held up one finger, signaling for her to hold on. She nodded and I flipped the camera and moved around the room, giving her a virtual tour of everything in the main space, then the bathroom and closet. Both were beautiful. Once I was done, I flipped the camera again and placed my mini-tripod on the dresser so I could use both of my hands to talk to her.
“I love this house,”was the first thing I signed.
“Shit me too.”
“All you’ve seen is one bedroom, which is a guest room,”I signed with a grin.
“True, but based on that room, the rest of the house is amazing.”
“It is. I’ll show you later. He chartered a jet to bring us here too.”
“Oh so you’re fancy now?”
I laughed and rolled my eyes.“Pretty much. Talk to me nice.”
“Speaking of, are you talking nice? How are things with you guys?”
“Good. He really went all out for Rylee.”
“Not Rylee, friend. You and him. Did he go all out for you too?”
My eyes rolled once more.“It’s not about me.”
“Yes, it kind of is. You’re in his home. You have to play house for the next couple months.”
“We’re fine.”I shrugged.“Did you get your plants?”
I decided to switch the subject because I didn’t want to talk about the man who’d had my panties soaked since I woke up this morning.
“You know I did. Got them at half price and secured a job too.”
“Boss T-I-N-G-Z.”
“And you know it. You talked to your mom?”
I shook my head.“Not yet. I’m not ready to deal with her.”
“So you’re hiding?” She smiled smugly.
“Pretty much. I miss you already.”
“I know, me too. I’m coming to visit, whether he wants me there or not.”
“I told you, he won’t mind. Just let me know when.”
“You gonna tell him to send me a jet.”
I grinned.“Absolutely not but I will get you a first class ticket because he’s paying me enough to afford it.”
“Aww, friend. You love me.”
“Love you more than matcha and you know I love me some matcha.”
“Love? More like obsessed, Somee.”
