“Not a chance, mate. Also, if you think I’m going to let you fuck my girl’s sister, then you are seriously deluded. I’ve got enough problems without you getting involved. Nora isn’t a fuck around type of girl, so back off, ponyboy.”

Grayson laughs and stands with me. “But she’s hot, man...” When he pouts at me, I shoot him adon’t even think about itlook, to which he sighs. “Fine, I’m out. Catch you later, mate.”

Just over an hour later, I’m knocking on Jess and Nora’s door with Thai food in tow.

Nora answers the door eagerly. “Thank God you’re here. I’m starving.” She does grabby hands to the food and leaves me in the doorway.

“Good to see you too, Nor. I’m glad we have established that you only need my friendship for food deliveries,” I say wryly.

She shouts a half-hearted apology, but I can already hear her rustling through the food in the kitchen. I close the front door and when I turn, Jess is coming down the stairs dressed in grey shorts and a white, off the shoulder t-shirt covered in holes.

Her brown hair is in a bun on top of her head with some strands framing her face, andfuck,she looks good. I rub my chin, feeling the stubble that she told me she likes, and look up at her in awe.

She walks over to me without saying a word and slides her hands up my chest, cups my face and kisses me like she hasn’t seen me in months.

She tastes like sweet mint and smells like clean cotton. It’s a heady combination when combined with the softness of her lips against mine. I bite her bottom lip and part her lips to taste her again, groaning with need. All the earlier stress suddenly drains from my body at a single touch from her.

“What are you doing to me, baby?” I mumble against her mouth.

I needed that. She has, without a doubt, got rid of any bad energy I was carrying without saying a word. My chest swells being near her. I can feel her letting down her walls for me, letting me in, kiss by kiss. It makes me really fucking happy, but I also have so much confusion from the events of earlier wrapped up in that joy, too.

She smiles and pecks me one last time before leading me to the kitchen, where we all eat so much food we are almost comatose.

“Thank you for bringing dinner over,” Nora says as we all amble into the living room. Nora sits in her reading chair, Jess flops onto the two seater with a grumble and I follow suit.

Jess starts running her hand along the back of my head affectionately. I lean into her hand and groan. “That feels amazing,” I confess as she hums next to me, that noise stoking the fire that burns for her deep in my body.

We stay like this for a while, in comfortable silence, and I almost nod off until Jess whispering in my ear brings me back to reality.

“Baby, before you fall asleep on me, we should have a look at flights for Paris.” She nips my earlobe gently, but I don’t want to move yet, so I snuggle into her warm chest, not wanting to break this relaxed feeling.

“Mmm, I like it when you call me baby. Did you get the time off?”

“I did. Next Thursday for a week.”

My head perks up. “Grab your laptop and we can book it now.”

She goes to stand, but I hug her tighter. “Uh-uh. Stay,” I pout, clinging to her.

“But you said… my laptop is in the kitchen.” She strokes my head, but I’m still clinging to her.

She chuckles and it’s a light sound; one that I love to hear. “I don’t wanna let you go, though.” I pout again, and she smirks, sighing as she looks at me.

“Then let’s use my phone or yours to book things. That way, you can be hanging off me the whole time.” She shuffles back in between my legs.

I nod and squeeze her behind. “Much better.”

“You’re impossible.”

“Impossibly cute?”

“Impossibly something, that’s for sure,” Nora mutters with a chuckle under her breath.

Jess’ snigger vibrates through her chest as I squeeze her again. “Get your phone, baby.” She pats my hands and I reluctantly let her go, but only for the two seconds it takes for me to reach my phone.

“Do you have the details?”

“Let me log into my emails and I’ll send it to you.” She takes my phone to find what she needs and passes it back to me.
