Mason only shakes his head, busying himself at the sink. I’m pretty sure it’s so he doesn’t have to talk to me or bend me over the counter? Jesus, this man is hot and cold and sometimes fucking icy. I can’t keep up.

I’m certain it’s this penthouse. It’s throwing me off. I need to snap out of it.

The buzzer sounds for the reception, and I jump up straight away, knowing it’s our food. “I’ll go!” I rush from the room, taking long strides to the elevator and telling myself internally to chill the hell out.

I pull up the girls’ group chat.

Nina: I AM FREAKING OUT!! Everything is so much harder being here

Luce: Give it a chance Nina you’ve not been there long have you?? It’s only 6!!

Nina: He told me he wanted to bend me over the kitchen island

Megan: So what’s the problem?

Luce: He didn’t want her last week

Nina: Exactly!

Nina: He’s giving me whiplash

Megan: I need to go get me some of that whiplash

Fucking idiot.

Luce: Use Ellis it’s why you’re supposed to be there

Luce: A couple hours and you will be more relaxed

Luce: Have a glass of wine!!

Nina: I have wine

I look over my shoulder making sure he doesn’t sneak up on me while I hide out in the foyer.

Megan: Did you ask him about Saturday yet?

Nina: Not yet! I’ve barely said a word

Megan: Come on my little butt slut!!! What happened to the queen who I dropped off at the gym yesterday morning?

Luce: She has a point

Nina: You think I should come back at him?

Megan: DUH

Luce: A little… maybe once Ellis is in bed?

Luce: At your own pace though. DO NOT force it

I don’t have to force the connection between Mason and I that’s for sure.

Megan: You’re forgetting that he was your man once. Go get his balls and wear them as earrings

Luce: Pretty sound advice Megs

Megan: Right???
