“You want to have solo dates with us?” Watson asked, sounding surprised.

“Yes. Not often, but sometimes. Do you not want that?”

“Of course we do. Sounds like a fun idea,” Watson admitted.

I smiled at him. “Great. Today though, I want to hang out with all of you.”

It seemed like dating four men at the same time wasn’t as hard as I initially thought it would be. Then again, they all made it easy. They weren’t complicated. They listened to what I said, and they always did their best to meet my needs.

I still had no idea what I did to deserve them but wouldn’t question it if it made me feel this happy.

KLINE

I didn’t like leaving Lola alone at her place, and though we asked her to stay another night, she insisted to sleep at her place tonight. She had to go to work in the morning, and so I, unwillingly, drove her home around eight that Sunday night.

I got out of the car once I parked it, and after walking around the front, I opened her door for her. She smiled up at me, thanking me as she got out.

“Thank you for taking me home, Kline. You don’t have to come up,” she assured me.

“But I want to. Let me carry your bag.” I reached for the small bag she was holding, and after closing the car door, I placed my free hand on her lower back, and walked her over to the entrance.

“You know, I really love how possessive and obviously obsessed you are with me, but I’m a grown woman. I can walk up to my apartment myself.” She was teasing me, with a small smirk tugging at her lips.

I raised a brow at her. “I know damn well that you are capable of that. But I told you I want to, so let me.”

She rolled her eyes, which only made her look sexier. It was already hard to leave her here, but with that attitude, I wished I could’ve stayed with her.

Without saying another word, I followed her up the two flights of stairs until we reached her front door. She turned to me, with her head tilted back, and the sweetest smile on her lips. “Thank you for bringing me home safely.”

“Are you trying to fuck with me?”

She laughed. “No, I’m being serious. And you are too serious. Loosen up a bit, big guy.”

I breathed out loudly through my nose before chuckling. “You’re right. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to be rude. I just want you to be safe. After hearing someone egged your car, I couldn’t help but think there’s someone out there who wants to hurt you.”

Lola pursed her lips as she watched me while I spoke, and once I was done, she placed both hands on my chest, smiling softly. “I’m sure it was just a bunch of kids being jokesters. I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”

I wouldn’t stop worrying. Not when I had this strange feeling inside of me that there was someone out there wanting to hurt our girl.

I dropped her bag to the floor and cupped her face with both hand, pushing her back against the door. I studied her closely before taking her mouth.

She kissed me back immediately, parting her lips so I could slide my tongue inside, tasting hers.

The kiss lasted for a minute, and when I moved back, I reached down to take her bag to hand it to her. “Go, before I change my mind and take you back to our place.”

She laughed with a shake of her head. “I’m already gone. I’ll text you guys tomorrow.”

“Alright. Good night, sweetheart.”

“Night, Kline.” She gave me another smile, then she unlocked the door and headed inside.

I stood there waiting for her to lock herself inside, but there was no sound. I raised a brow and knocked on the door, calling out to her. “Lock the door, Lola.”

Seconds later, the lock turned. I left the building, though with a heavy heart, missing her already.

Goddamn…I was completely infatuated with her.
