He snorts and takes a sip from the can of Coke in his hands. I wonder how many of those he and his friends have had tonight. “Is she okay? I missed her text to turn off the alarm so it wouldn’t sound and we had our headsets on so I didn’t even hear her come in.” He looks behind me at the closed door. “Why is she home?”
“I don’t know. She said she got in a fight with Mel but I feel like there’s more to it.”
“Sounds like bull.”
“SJ.” I glower at him as we move down the stairs and I remove the can from his hand. “No more caffeine. How many of these have you had anyway?”
He looks up in the air. “This is like my second.”
“Likeyour second?”
“Or third?”
“SJ, knock it off,” I snap at him.
“Fiiiine,” he says as he makes his way back to the basement door.
“Off the game before three a.m.”
He turns around and his eyes widen in shock. “What?! But we are in the middle of a tournament!”
“I don’t care. Finish it in the morning. You’re ten years old!”
“We’re up against people on the West Coast! We can’t forfeit!” he retorts and I imagine he’s probably cursing Margot and himself for being nosy at the moment because I may not have realized they were still up otherwise.
Especially if I was still face-up in Elianna’s pussy.
“Three a.m., Sawyer. Don’t make me turn off the WiFi.”
He grumbles before he’s through the door closing it behind him and I hear him running down the stairs.
Back in my room, my nerves are still running through me when my mind drifts back to the woman down the hall. I wonder if she’s asleep by now and I’m grateful to see a text from her when I pick up my phone.
Elianna Riley (Nanny): Is everything okay? What happened?
I press the call button and hold my phone to my ear. She picks up immediately.
“Hey,” she says, completely alert and I’m glad I didn’t wake her up. “Is she okay?”
“She’s fine. Said she and Mel got into a fight, but…she seems off.”
“I see. Did she tell you what the fight was about?”
“No, she wouldn’t tell me.” I let out a sigh. “Maybe you could try tomorrow?”
“Of course. I’ll talk to her.”
I think Margot still has a bit of her guard up when it comes to Elianna, but I do think she may open up to her if she wants to talk. Especially if it’s something she doesn’t feel comfortable talking to me about.
Neither of us says anything for a moment while I drop to my bed and fall to my back. “I was so relaxed earlier,” I chuckle.
“I’m sorry you didn’t…you know…come.” She giggles nervously and just that one word falling from her lips has my dick twitching in my pants.
“Trust me, tonight was still the most relaxed I’ve been in…a long time.”
“How long?” she asks, and I realize she isn’t aware of how long it’s been for me.
“A little over a year,” I tell her. “Before Bianca died.”
