“Are we still on the same page? Still okay with sharing her, or is one of you planning to go solo?” I asked.

They shook their heads.

“I was unsure at first if she could handle all four of us, but she clearly can. And she wants to,” Watson said, and I agreed with a nod.

“She can keep up with us, and she’s interested. I still want to give her time and space. Let’s not rush things.”

Leo raised a brow at me, looking amused. “Sure, let’s not rush things.”

“It was just a kiss,” I told him with a grin. “Right, Ben?”

“Yeah, just a kiss,” Bennett replied, smirking. “An incredibly good kiss at that.”

“Damn, both of you? It’s my turn next time,” Leo stated.

“Let her come to you. Don’t push her,” I warned.

“Bet you pushed her,” Watson murmured, sounding annoyed.

“I didn’t. It felt right, so it happened. Now, stop acting like jealous high school boys. It’s late. Go to bed.”

This night couldn’t have gone any better. Lola went home happy, and the four of us were pleased with the way the date went. We all had high hopes that this would become something big, and we’d give everything to make it work.

For Lola, because she deserved nothing but the best.

Chapter 16

LOLA

I couldn’t think about anything else the next day at work. The guys were on my mind, and any chance I got, I daydreamed about what would come next. They had promised me another date, and it excited me just thinking about spending another evening with them.

It was safe to say that all four of them were incredibly interesting and fun men, with amazing personalities, and a kind of lifestyle that was very intriguing.

Of course, I’ve thought about this being way too good to be true, but after a moment of doubt, I decided that I deserved this. I deserved to have four men show interest in me. It sounded silly, but the more I told myself that, the more it felt right.

I leaned back in my office chair and swung from side to side, waiting for another email to come in that I could answer. It was a slow Monday morning, but it gave me the time to organize some things around the office.

This morning, there was no one around but me, but in the afternoon, I was expecting a small group of lawyers who rented out one of the rooms to have a small meeting. For that, they also asked for a finger-food buffet, which I would have to prepare as well before they arrived. I would do that later though.

Thinking about that buffet, my stomach started to growl, and I decided it was time for my lunch—at eleven.

After grabbing my food out of the fridge, and pouring myself a Pepsi, I went to one of the rooms where we had lounges and bean bags. I sat in one of them and ate my lunch while watching YouTube videos, and just when I was done with my salmon and rice, a text popped up at the top of my screen.

Kline invited you to a group chat

Tap here to join

I pursed my lips.

A group chat sounded fun.

I tapped on the message and it automatically opened the chat I was invited to. The name of the chat was Lola + Four, and I couldn’t stop grinning at how silly that sounded.

There was a message below asking me if I wanted to accept the invitation, and, of course, I was going to join. Once I accepted, a bubble popped up, telling me Kline was typing.

A few seconds later, his text appeared, followed by one from Leo.
