I smiled, and Jessica nodded knowingly.
“It’s shit I don’t want to get into. But let’s say Ellie is just like my mum and doesn’t approve of my lifestyle or how I conduct myself.”
It’s true; she doesn’t.
Ellie thought that Dad leaving was good, but it wasn’t. He died not long after because his piss-poor choices didn’t keep him alive very long.
“You do drugs and party,” Jessica said, staring at me intently. “You fight for money; that’s not the best environment. But you could stop any of it if you wanted to. You clearly don’t, and that’s your choice.”
I did a double take at her words, trying to find something to pick and throw in her face, but I couldn’t. Instead, her raw honesty hit me deep in the feelers.
“Yeah? And how doyoufeel about my lifestyle?”
Jessica’s eyes flickered away from me, and her shoulders shrugged slightly.
“The thing is, Logan, I can’t help but be attracted to you.”
“Girls love the bad boy cliché; I’m aware I fit right into that.”
“Have you got a motorbike?” She asked, her eyes widening.
“No—”
“Criminal record?”
I made a face, and she groaned.
“Ok, You’re a bad boy. But you’re notjustthat.”
“Stop with the flattery, or I’ll have to punish you.”
“So you keep saying. I’ve got to get ready for work soon.”
I wrapped my arms around her, impressed and relatively calmed by her chilled attitude surrounding us.
“Ok.”
“When is your birthday?” She asked, climbing over me to pad to her clothes, dragging out her uniform.
It was pretty sexy, and I was still checking it out when she looked at me expectantly.
“Oh.That. Next week.” I yawned. “Don’t worry about it.”
“If you’re having a party, will I get an invite?”
“Yeah, of course. If you give me a birthday present I can find between your legs,” I said, hooking my fingers into the waistband of her panties and pulling her over to me. “Maybe I could get a taste now….”
She fell onto the bed, protesting that she would be late if she didn’t shower.
I couldn’t give less of a fuck.
I need her.

“I swear, if Margot evenlooksin my direction—” Ellie warned, her mouth lolling open with concentration as she blinked onto her mascara wand.
