He looked at me like he wanted to say something else, but just ran his hand through his hair and jogged back to his house to pick Maddy up as she squealed in happiness.
Which didn’t at all make me think entirely wrong things about him…
I checked my phone and saw the response from Hadley.
Hadley:Thank GOD we’re coming home tomorrow!
Me:It’ll be good to have you home.
Hadley:It’ll be good to make you go out some more! Celeste told me you’d been skiving?????
Me:lol, yeah a little. I’ve been busy.
Hadley:Oh well. No excuse after tomorrow. Although Dad’s told me we have to go to some dinner tomorrow. But, I’ll see you first thing Monday?
Me:As long as first thing is like 11?
Hadley:Duh. I’ll come over?
Me:Sounds good.
Hadley:Talk to you later xoxo
Me:night babes xo
I chucked my phone on charging, went back to the movie and snuggled down.
Just after I’d started the new one, something distracted me. There was a noise at my window, I was sure of it. I paused the movie and listened. Sure enough, there it was again. I crawled out of bed, pulled the window open, and looked down.
“Seriously?” I hissed.
Roman grinned up at me, juggling a pebble in his hand. “Hey.”
“What are you doing?”
“Avoiding the screaming, flu-y five year old. What are you doing?”
“Having a John Cusack movie marathon.”
“Seriously?” he hissed sceptically. “Lame!”
“That’s rich coming from the guy running away from a five year old!”
He shrugged. “Yeah, true.”
“Did you want something?” I asked.
He shrugged again. “I dunno. Thought you might like to hang out?”
I smiled. “John Cusack takes precedence over you and your five-year-old avoidance, sorry.”
I saw him smile back. “Can I at least join you?”
“You’re going to voluntarily watch John Cusack movies?”
“I have no idea who that is, remember.”
“I’m having a Rom-Com binge,comprende?”
