It would have been embarrassing if I didn’t find it endearing.
“You have to stop,” I closed the console.
“Stop what?” He took a quick peek at me and the console then back at the road.
“Doing things like this and making me feel all weird.”
He smiled.The ass.
“I got you a bunch of pads to make sure you’d always have them if needed and you’re gettingmad?”
“Yes,” I huffed. “Return them.”
“No.”
“Excuse me?” I blinked stupidly. “You didn’t just say no to me.”
“I did, what are you gonna do about it?”
Because I was a mature adult, I pinched his arm and fell back with a pout.
“Real adult-like, Adelaide.”
I jerked my head to the left. “What happened tobaby?”
He barely held in his laughter with tightened lips and shiny eyes.
“Is my girl upset now?”
His girl?Oh, I could get used to that.
Mhm, definitely. It was sweet and nice and…
I badly needed to have sex with Christian.
He acted like he wasn’t sweet but then he went and called me baby and got me pads and ugh. I was beginning to hate him again.
Why did he have to be like this?
No guy would live up to his expectations if this continued.
“Whatever,” I hmphed. “Where are we going?”
“Do you know what it’s like to be patient?”
“No. Tell me where.”
I had to imagine every worst-case scenario of the place we were going. In case there was a fire, or a dog ran loose, or someone’s cat got rabies and was spreading it across the mall.
My brain was a vigilant creature and it needed to eat. “Tell me,” I pushed.
“It’s a surprise,” he chuckled.
“If this is your way of seducing me, consider me seduced. Now tell me.”
He quieted down. A somber expression and a tick in his jaw.
Okay, I shouldn’t have said that. “I didn’t mean to?—”
