“Oh, stop it.” She waved her hand at me and strolled off towards the door. “He knows I’m only kidding. And Max? Don’t take too long before you apologise to Ellie for insulting her in such a terrible manner. I’d recommend more than flowers this time.”
I glared after her as she left, leaving me and Fred to ourselves in the library.
“She likes this Ellie, huh?”
I nodded. “Her favourite author. Bad timing.”
“You like her.”
I shot him a look. “Don’t fucking start.”
He held up his hands. “I didn’t hear a denial.”
“Did Ed show you your room?”
“He did.”
“Good. Then fuck off. I’m out of here.” I got up and walked towards the door, shaking my head.
Fred’s laughter followed me out.
Of course he’d show up today.
God.
CHAPTER TWENTY
ELLIE
Oopsie Ellie
Winston eyed me from the sofa cushion where he’d been curled up, asleep, all day long. He hadn’t even tried to escape when I’d left the door open this morning to run to the car.
If I didn’t know it was because he’d had his flea drops on after breakfast and was sulking, I’d be worried about it.
Seriously.
You’d have thought I was attempting to murder the fluffy little git the way he carried on. I’d even put tuna in his bowl by way of an apology fordaringto squeeze some very necessary medicine onto the back of his neck, but he wasn’t biting.
“I’m not apologising to you again,” I told him, putting my feet up on the ottoman and hauling my laptop onto my thighs. “It’s for your own good. You insist on going off on your jollies, so you have to be medicated occasionally.”
He trilled at me, his little top lips vibrating.
Should have called him Elvis.
“It’s once every three months, Winston,” I reminded him, like he cared at all. “It’s not going to kill you.”
He lifted one leg and contorted his body so he could lick his non-existent balls.
Charming.
“You really know how to treat a lady, huh?” I muttered, pressing the power button on my laptop.
Maybe that was why he and Max got along.
Both of themknew how to treat a woman.
That was said in a very strong sarcasm font, by the way.
