“Yes?” I ask.
“I’ll be in meetings for the majority of the day, but if you need anything, text me, alright?”
“I’ll be fine.” I stare down at my shoes against the paving of our driveway.
“I notice the way you look at her," he says softly.
My head jerks up and I can practically taste the panic I’m feeling at the back of my throat.
“What—why is that relevant?”
“I’m far from a paragon of virtue when it comes to treating her as she deserves," he says. “But all things considered, even though I’ve been unreasonable with her, she’s been incredibly reasonable with me.”
“I don’t understand why you’re saying this to me.”
“I see how anxious you are of fucking things up with her. But I also see how she looks at you, and frankly, I don’t think she’s nearly as upset with you as you think she is," he says, nodding towards her.
Her head is thrown back in laughter at something Theo said, her raven colored hair flowing down her back.
I want to touch it.
Fuck, that sounded creepy.
She’s just so beautiful, I feel the need to make sure she’s real.
“You really think so?”
“I do. I also think if you ask her yourself, you’d find she’d give you the same answer.” He glances at his watch. “I have to head into the office. I have a meeting I have to get to. Text me if you need any help, alright?”
“Okay.”
I head inside, kicking off my shoes by the front door and following their raised voices.
“Holy shit you’re heavy,” Theo groans from the top of the stairs.
“You need to hit the gym more, then,” Stone huffs. “Less time sitting at your desk all day.”
“Excuse me, but sitting at my desk all day is myjob,” Theo huffs.
Reyna’s eyes immediately find me when I make it to the top of the stairs.
“Do they always bicker like this?” She asks, rolling her eyes playfully.
“Yeah, basically,” I say, my lips tugging up into a small smile.
I can’t help it. I like the look of her in our home.
“Alright, I’ll get this meathead into bed. Then I’ll head to the pharmacy to pick up the stuff he needs before I leave for the firm, sound good, guys?” Theo asks.
“Sounds good,” I nod.
“So, do I get the tour now?” Reyna asks, blinking up at me.
Wow.
My mouth goes dry. She’s so breathtakingly gorgeous. Like she just walked off of a modeling shoot, or something.
“Milo?”
