“I’d love to go out to eat, babe. Adriana was telling me about a great steak house nearby.” Heather responds.

“Adriana, what about you?? Ty asks.

“I wouldn’t mind ordering room service and watching a movie.” Adriana says holding my gaze.

I must look like a mannequin because I don’t move. Or at least I don’t feel it if I do. The words from my brother come back to me of just being myself.

“I’d rather stay in and have a chill night.” I say.

“Looks like the deck is split. Adriana, you good with you and Cole hanging out if Ty and I go out to eat?” Heather asks with a Cheshire Cat grin.

“Yeah, I’m good with it if Cole is.” She says with a sly grin.

It’s like she knows that I won’t pass up the chance to hang out with her.

“I’m definitely good with that.” I return her grin.

“Great, hubby, let’s go get freshened up and head out then.” Heather says, and she heads to the room on the left where Adriana came out of.

“I’m going to throw my stuff in the room and change. We can look at the menu and order after.” I tell Adriana.

“That sounds good. I’m going to change too.” She says before walking away.

I can’t help but watch her walk away from me until she’s behind closed doors.

My dick twitches at the thought of the two of us being alone tonight. Don’t you start. And now I’m talking to my cock.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

Adriana

I head into the room that Heather and I are sharing to change.

“You good?” Heather asks me.

“Nervous, but I’m good. You and Dani were right last weekend. I deserve to be happy and not let small dick Toby keep me from finding my happy ending. If I don’t put myself out there, then it’ll never happen. We don’t have to jump right in, but I think this is a step in the right direction.” I’m being honest with not only Heather, but myself.

“It’s always been the four of us outside of when Cole picked you up from the airport. I think it’ll be good for you to see what’s it's like one on one.” Heather says as she puts on a little black dress.

“Agreed. Now you are going to make your man’s jaw drop in that dress. I can sleep on the couch if needed, ma’am.” I tell Heather.

“If anything, it’ll be Cole on the couch. You are a queen that deserves a bed. But I made sure the couch is a pullout just in case. You know you could put on a little black dress, too.” She says while putting perfume on and shaking her ass towards me.

“You’ve lost your damn mind, woman! I’m not wearing a LBD for a Netflix and chill night.” I tell her with the most exaggerated eye roll.

“Why not? It’ll really set the mood.” She tells me with a smirk and waggle of her eyebrows.

I smack myself on the head because I realize what I just said. Netflix part sure, not the chill part. Yet.

“Not that kind of Netflix and chill. You are something else, woman!” I laugh. “Go have fun! See you later.” I say. Hopefully, she’ll stop putting ideas in my head.

“Don’t act like the thought of Cole naked hasn’t crossed your dirty little mind.”

Heather leaves the room cackling. Changing into my favorite black sweats, Sleep Token t-shirt and corgi fuzzy socks, I look at myself in the mirror to make sure my hair isn’t a mess since I have it down and curled. I hear Cole come out of their room with Ty as he says goodbye. I take one last look at myself in the mirror, take a deep breath and head out of the room to the living room area.

Cole is sitting on the couch with the room service menu already. He’s wearing gray sweats with a black t-shirt on and he looks so good just sitting there. I shake my head and make my way over to the couch.

“Is this seat taken?” I ask as I point to the seat on the couch right next to him.
