“Adrian… I’m not stupid. I know you had the bed removed, so I’d have to sleep with you.”
“Your accusation offends me, Paige. I don’t know where your mattress went.”
“Bullshit.”
“Have I told you how much I don’t care for this vulgar language you’ve picked up? You never used to swear this much. Where’s my good girl, Cherry?”
“Fuck off, Adrian.”
“I’d much rather fuck you.”
“You agreed to hav—”
“The only thing I said yes to was leaving you alone after everything is said and done. It isn’t my fault you jumped to the wrong conclusion”
“What about the part where my room was furthest away from yours?”
“It is. The guestroom is on the far end of my penthouse and my bedroom is on the other side.”
“You’re unbelievable.”
“I don’t usually have guests spend the night with me.”
“Right… Tell that to all the women who I’m sure have done the walk of shame in the morning. I’m surprised there wasn’t a woman waiting for you when we arrived.”
“I told her to leave.”
She winced. It was quick, but I saw it.
“Does that bother you?”
“No.”
“No?”
“What bothers me is the lack of respect you’re giving me.”
“My demeanor toward you hasn’t changed.”
“You mean treating me like I’m that dumb naive girl?”
“You were neither.”
“Of course I was, or I wouldn’t have let you use me.”
“That card is getting a little old, Cherry. Are you going to be singing this same tune for the next six months?”
“I want my own bed.”
“For tonight, you’ll have to sleep in mine.”
“Adrian… I’m five seconds away from—”
“Paige, why don’t you go take a shower and cool off?” I stated ignoring her outburst.
“Let me guess, you removed the shower curtain and the door to the bathroom?”
Sidestepping her accusations, I simply stated, “Or you could make yourself comfortable and take a bath? I had my housekeeper buy all the girly shit you used to leave in Cade’s and my apartment.”
