What will people think? X
He replies instantly.
Fuck them. Don’t lose sleep over their opinions, baby. It’s me and you. If they don’t like that, they don’t deserve to be in our lives x
I slip my phone into my back pocket and step into the lift, waiting for it to take me to the top floor.
I have no idea if Nora is home yet, but I want to be here for when Rue pulls up.
Unlocking the door, I grab my phone and camera and dump my bag on the floor. Kicking off my shoes, I move towards the sofa and lay down on it. A silly grin is on my face as I think back to earlier and the way I rode Creed. His fingers marking my skin, our breathy moans filling the car as the windows steamed up and the rain belted down on the roof. Dragging my fingers across my bottom lip, I pull up my messages.
Can’t stop thinking about earlier…
Placing my phone screen down on my chest, my skin tingles and suddenly I miss him. Craving him once more. Craving what we just had and what we could be.
Ace, it’s all I have thought about on my drive home.
My breath catches and I know I could easily slip my fingers between my legs and submerge myself in pleasure, but I can’t. I have to get showered and ready for Rue.
Rolling myself off the bed, I pad towards my bathroom. Turning the tap on, the hot water spurts from the head and the room quickly begins to fill with steam. Peeling my clothes from me, I dump them in the wash basket and step under the water, letting it hit my skin. Lathering shampoo into my roots, I close my eyes and slowly massage it in as the suds run down my silky body.
I take much longer than I needed to, but some showers just hit different.
Turning it off, I step out and wrap the towel around me, pulling it close as I cleanse my face and brush my teeth. I have no idea where we are going tonight, but Nora has mentioned a couple of places that she can get us into using the Saint Onyx name. My heart flutters. I’m dating the CEO of that team. Fuck.
Realisation slowly sinks in and anxiety knots in my stomach.
I have no idea how people will take it. Social media will have a field day, especially because Royce is my ex… and now I am dating his dad.
Rushing out of the bathroom, I swipe my phone up and message Creed.
Can we keep us under wraps for a while? I just think it’ll cause a lot of commotion and it’s not fair on Royce.
He reads it straight away then messages me back.
Of course, we can keep it quiet for now x
I smile. Hopefully it buys us a bit more time and we can just focus on us. We need to date; I don’t really know much about him, and he doesn’t know much about me.
Dressing in pyjamas and wrapping my hair in a towel, I wait until Rue is here before I get dressed. Moving towards the living room, I check the time and notice she will be due any minute. I pace, not sure what to do with myself whilst I wait.
My phone buzzes in my hand and I smile when I see it’s Rue.
Walking to the door, I unlock it and swing it open as I wait like an excited kid at Christmas. I hear the sound of her suitcase being dragged down the corridor before I see her. Once she turns that corner, she drops her hand from the case handle and we run towards each other, wrapping my arms around her, holding her tight.
“It’s so good to see you.” I squeeze and she laughs.
“It’s good to see you too.” We pull away and she has a wide smile on her face.
“How was the flight?” I ask as I follow her to get her case and walk back into the apartment.
“Yeah, not bad. Its not overly long, is it?” She hums.
“No, I suppose not.” I smile, closing the door behind her and she looks around our apartment.
“Well, this is nice.” She steps further into the room, hands on her hips and I stand next to her.
There is a small hallway that leads down to the spacious open plan living room, with the kitchen sitting behind and is only separated by kitchen units and a breakfast bar. There is a small round dining room table with four chairs that sits between. The main bathroom is just as you walk in and mine and Nora’s bedrooms are tucked away at the end of another hallway, both with en suites. It’s spacious and cosy at the same time.
