Page 72 of Four of Hearts

LOLA

I didn’t want to be alone tonight, but the guys wouldn’t have let me go home alone anyway. They were being extremely alert as we exited the bar, and while Morris locked the door, Leo took my hand and pulled me closer to him. He put his arm around me protectively, and I smiled up at him, thanking him silently.

“The good thing about this is that you have four extremely handsome men who protect you. You don’t have to be scared, okay, Lo?”

I looked at Willa and smiled at her, reaching out my hand to take hers. “You’re right. I’m very lucky to have them.”

“And you’re lucky to have me,” Morris said, grinning.

Willa let go of my hand and turned to him to wrap her arms around his shoulders. “I am. Even if you’re just one guy instead of four.”

“Baby, you don’t need more than one. You only need me and it feels like four men.”

We laughed and watched as they kissed.

I loved watching them together. Morris truly was a good guy, and I had never seen Willa happier. She deserved someone like him, and I was still so impressed that we managed to find them at the same time, and in the same place.

“Alright everyone. See you next week.” Elia waved at us, and we wished him a good night.

“We should head home now too,” Kline said. “Do we stop them?”

I looked at Willa and Morris who were still kissing. It didn’t look like they were going to stop any time soon.

Watson gave them a little nudge, and they broke the kiss to look at him. Morris raised a brow. “What?”

“Go do that at home,” Watson told him.

“He’ll do way more than that at home,” Willa assured us with a smirk. “Goodnight!”

“Night, you two.” I gave Willa a quick hug before letting Morris take her to his car, and I followed the guys to theirs.

We were home only ten minutes later, and while the others headed into their rooms, I grabbed my pre-packed overnight bag and followed Watson into his bedroom.

“Are you sure we need to get the police involved? I mean, what if she learned her lesson?”

He laughed out loud. “She definitely hasn’t learned her lesson. She got away with it without even apologizing to you, and I won’t let that fucking slide.”

I watched as he undressed to his shorts, and after reaching into his closet, he handed me one of his t-shirts. “Don’t worry about it, baby. I’ll handle it.”

I sighed and started to undress, and once I had his t-shirt on, I grabbed my toothbrush out of my bag and followed him into his bathroom.

“Okay. But could you maybe mention to the police that she’s not well? Maybe that way she’ll get the help that she needs.”

He raised a brow at me. “How can you be so compassionate toward a person who threatened to kill you in your sleep?”

“She clearly didn’t mean it. She’s sick.”

“Exactly. Sick people are capable of doing sick shit. All I ask you is not to get in the way of this right now. It’s for your own good. Trust me on that.”

I watched him through the mirror. It took me a moment to understand just how serious he was about this. I sighed and lowered my head for a moment. “Okay.”

“He only means well.” Ben appeared in behind us. He was smiling gently and looking handsome standing there in the doorway in only his boxers. “We all need to sleep on this. We can talk tomorrow if you feel like it.”

I nodded and turned toward him. “Okay. Good night, Ben.”

“Night, kitten.” He left after kissing me, and I brushed my teeth before heading back to the bedroom.

Leo and Kline entered Watson’s room, and I let Leo pull me into his arms. He kissed the top of my head, whispering to me how much he enjoyed spending time with me this weekend.
