“I’m counting on it.” Playing with fire had become my favourite pastime.
"You're really tempting me to stay, aren't you?" His hands embraced me in an instant, his lips decorated my neck with kisses as his stubble scratched my skin.
“Not at all.” I did up one last button as he let out a low chuckle. “That’s better.” As he chuckled quietly, I closedone more button. "That's much better." I patted his chest to signal him to move.
“Are the girls coming over for a bit?”
"To be honest, I might just have an early night." I hadn't intended on having one, but he didn't need to know what I had planned for the evening.
“You never told me about what you decided on doing for your bachelorette party?” He placed his index on his plump bottom lip. “And I have asked many times.”
"Yes, I did tell you. I'm doingnothing." His face fell a little.Why was he so bothered?
“A night with the girls, your mother and mine isn’t exactly a bachelorette party, is it?” Lorenzo wasn’t convinced, and I honestly didn't think he'd want me to go out.
"It’s what I want to do," I said sweetly, because it was never in my interest to marry this man, let alone have a bachelorette party, so I decided to have a girls' night before the wedding.
“As you wish. I can’t force you, but you know you have full access to the club if you want.” He fastened his watch onto his wrist before he was finally ready to go.
"Thank you for the offer, but my decision has already been made. Now, quit chitchatting and get moving before the guys start looking for you." As he dug his heels into the carpet, I ushered him towards the door. "Lorenzo, stop being so stubborn. A fun night out won't kill you."
“Wait up for me.” He sighed with a lopsided smile.
“You’re supposed to say don’t wait up.” I giggled as I leant against the doorframe, watching him walk towardsthe stairs.
“I can say it however I want to,” he called back as he disappeared, only to begreeted by the sound of the guys cheering at his arrival.
I listened intently as I heard them leave, and now it was my turn to get readyfor what I had planned; I had schemed my exit route and was confident I wouldn't getcaught. If Lorenzo got word I was leaving the house, my night would be as fucked up as his.
I took out my phone and dialed Tay’s number; she and Robin knew the plan all too well as we had been planning and plotting for the same amount of time the guys had.
"Are you ready for tonight, baby?" Robin squealed over the car speaker.
“I will be when you get here. I need help getting ready.” I was a bundle of nerves, which was unlike me.
"We're just pulling in. We had to wait forthe guysto leave, and boy, did they take their time." Tay laughed.
“Blame Lorenzo, he didn’t want to leave.” I hurried downstairs to open the front door for them.
“I bet he didn’t,” Robin joked as their headlights came into view.
I hung up the phone as they parked at the bottom of the steps. They weregiddy with excitement as they got out of the car. Robin carried more make-up in her arms than a beauty boutique while Tay revealed a bag containing hair tools, pins, bands, products, and who knew what else.
“Here we are!” Robin squealed as they made their way inside.
We headed upstairs except Tay, who ventured into the kitchen to grab some wine glasses for the number of bottles she had brought with her.
“Why are we heading to what I’m guessing is Lorenzo’s room?” Robin asked, her perfect brow arched.
“Because that’s where all my stuff is now.” Under her astonished stare, my cheeks flushed.
"Wait a minute, what?!? When did thishappen, and why am I only hearing about it now?" She almost shoved me into his room as she dumped her bag by the door.
"It just happened, we had that date, the one I told you aboutand since then,things have been different."
“Shut the front fucking door! Different how?!” Tay appeared right on time. Her mouth was parted slightly in shock.
"I don't know, it's just different. He's different." I sighed because, to be honest, I didn't know what to say or how to evenexplain it.
