“You were sleep?” he asked.

“On my way.”

He looked past me. I shifted, blocking the doorway.

“What do you want?”

“Can I come in?”

"Hell no."

“Milan.”

“It’s after midnight.”

“I need to ask you something.”

I leaned against the doorframe.

“So ask.”

His eyes moved over my face.

“Where were you?”

That was it. I smiled.

“I've been in my room.”

“All night?”

“Why?”

“Just answer me.”

I stared at him.

“You’re not my boyfriend now, Malcolm.”

“This isn’t about that.”

“Then what is it about?”

“I went downstairs to get something from my car.”

“Ok, congratulations,” I smirked.

“I thought I saw you.”

I kept smiling.

“In the garage?”

He narrowed his eyes. I realized I’d just revealed the location, and I watched to see his reaction. He didn’t disappoint me.

“Yeah.”

I folded my arms.
