I cut her off. “It’s fine. He gives great cuddles,” I tell her, trying to lighten the situation.
She relaxes but doesn’t move back into her position. CJ grins, tapping her on the shoulder and making her jump. I see a flash of hurt across his expression before he masks it.
“If you ever need to cuddle, I’m always here.” He pauses before leaning in and whispering, “And I didn’t smellthatbad, did I?”
She giggles, shaking her head. “No, you don’t smell.”
He fakes relaxing against the sofa, doing it with such dramatic flair it makes me smile. “Good. Now that you’re comfortable with dribbling all over me, I expect some Rosie and CJ cuddles in the future. I was starting to wonder if I had something wrong with me.”
She just stares, shock written over her expression, before she surprises us by bursting into laughter. “You are terrible.”
He just grins before turning to Cole. “Shall we go see if he’s been told?”
Cole nods, focusing on his phone. “Yeah. Dylan is meeting us downstairs.”
“Downstairs?” CJ asks.
Absently, Cole nods. “Yeah, he’s moved into a spare room on the third floor.”
“The third floor?” I ask, wondering why I didn’t hear of any free places available.
CJ shakes his head at me, grinning. He gets up, pulling me into his arms. “No, Cupcake. Just… no.”
“But—”
He kisses me, silencing me, before pulling back, grinning. “No. I’ll be back in a few hours. We’ll go grab a DVD to watch.”
“Something funny?” Becca pipes in.
CJ grins. “I want to see that Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates, so I’ll grab that.”
“Okay. I’m going to go lie down for a bit. Can you wake me up when it’s dinner?” she asks me.
I nod, agreeing. “Promise.”
She leaves, moving to the room she’s sharing with Rosie. I turn back to CJ. “Pick up pizza, too?”
He grins at me. “Anything for you, Cupcake.”
“You two are so sickeningly sweet,” Jordan groans, before sitting down next to Rosie.
“The sweetest,” CJ sings, before kissing me. “Be back soon.” He winks, tapping my nose, before turning to Cole.
With that, he and Cole go, leaving me and the girls alone. “So,” I start, rolling on the balls of my feet. “What you want to do?”
“Um, why are you grinning? It’s kind of freaking me out since we’ve just found out another girl has been killed.”
I lose my grin instantly, feeling heartless. I didn’t even realise I was smiling until she mentioned it.
Damn CJ.
“Oh, Missy here lost her virginity.”
Jordan and Rosie gasp, their heads turning slowly my way, smiles on their faces.
“So, what was it like?” Jordan asks.
“You lost your virginity?” Becca asks, poking her head round the door frame, a glass of water in her hand.
