“No.” I shook my head a few times and grabbed my own beer. “Want some pizza?”
She gaped at me. “That’s it? Now you want to eat?”
“Yeah.” I shrugged one shoulder. “I guess we said our piece. I’m ready to move on if you are.”
She nodded. “Okay.”
I snatched the box off the counter and followed her to the sofa. She snagged a slice of pizza and eyed me suspiciously.
“What?”
“What are we going to callroommatenight now?” She mouthed the word, a scandalous look in her eyes.
“Date night?” I tore off a bite of pizza and reached for the remote.
She paused mid-sip of her beer. I glanced over and continued eating as if I hadn’t just dropped a bomb.
“That sounds awfully commity to me,” she said carefully.
“You scared?”
“Nope. Date night it is.” She lifted her bottle to me and we clinked. “This doesn’t mean we’re serious.”
“Suits me.” I switched on the TV. “But Baker?”
“Yeah?”
“I don’t want you giving anyone else my kisses.”
Her breath hitched before she leveled me with a saucy look. “As long as you aren’t showering with other people, I think we’re good.”
I sank back in the cushions and threw my arm around her shoulders. “We’re better than good.”

He’d barely made it half an hour into the movie before his breathing turned even. I, on the other hand, couldn’t turn my brain off.
The torrent of displeasure that had come home had calmed into this. He’d not only been annoyed about my roommate comment, but insulted.
Had we really resolved anything? Neither of us wanted anything too serious, yet we weren’t seeing other people. Wasn’t that commitment?
His phone buzzed on the coffee table, the sound piercing in the quiet living room.
“Easy?” Holt stirred, halfway between sleep and awake.
“Your phone.”
I reached over and picked it up.Celia.That jealousy flared as I held it out to him.
He silenced the call and tossed the phone on the floor. “Movie was good,” he murmured in my ear.
