“I’m moving to LA as soon as university finishes in November.” My eyes go wide. This is news. He laughs. “Don’t worry I’m not moving in with you and Josh.” My eyes drop to my tea. Shit, if I was a better person I would tell him it’s ok to move in with us but the reality is I want Josh to myself. “I got offered a job six months ago in LA Public Hospital and as Josh has been trying to get me to move over for years, I thought it was now or never.”
I give him a sad smile. “Am I wrecking your plans?”
He shakes his head. “No, I’m just glad you two are working your shit out. I will probably live with Murph, that’s if he gets rid of his wanker boyfriend.”
I frown. “Murph, who’s Murph?”
“Adrian, his last name is Murphy.”
“Don’t you like his boyfriend either?”
“I can’t stand him. I think I hate him more than Josh.”
“Why do you all hate him so much?” He shakes his head as he drains his cup. “Spend some time with him and you will see. I don’t get what Adrian sees in him. He’s not even a good sort.” I smile. The boys really are good friends with Adrian—their affection is obvious. Joshua walks into the kitchen with a towel around him and saunters up to me as he gives me a lopsided smile.
“Sorry baby,” he runs his thumb over my bottom lip and bends down to give me a tender kiss. I temporarily forget that Cam is here and return his kiss.
Cameron puts his hands up to his temples. “Fuck. It’s spinning me out seeing you two together. I know you’re together, but I haven’t seen you together, together.”
Josh rolls his eyes. “Aren’t you going out?”
Cam smiles. “Yes. I’m going to find a certain kind of Mrs Tonight.” He winks at me.
I frown. “Mrs Stanton?” I ask and Josh laughs.
“God no… Mrs Give–Me–Head Baby.”
My eyes bulge. “Oh right. How stupid of me. Have fun,” I smirk.
He raises his eyebrows. “I always do.” And within a second he is gone. Josh blows out a breath and gives me a resigned smile.
I go to speak but he puts a finger up to my lip. “You don’t have to come again. It was a mistake making you go. But in my defence it isn’t normally that bad.” I nod as I listen. “How do you know that guy?” he asks.
“I told you he’s a prison warden at the jail I go to.” Josh listens and then narrows his eyes.
“I want you to resign.”
I smile. “I am anyway, dopey.” I roll my eyes. “I’m sort of moving away with this thug I’ve started dating.” He looks relieved and smiles.
“So you are.” He yawns as he goes to my freezer and removes a bag of peas.
“Are you hurt?” I ask.
He gives me a sly smile, “Yes and I need nurse Natasha to give me some tender loving care.” He grabs me roughly on the behind.
“Are you hungry?” I ask.
“Starving.”
“I don’t have any food so I’ll order some Thai takeout. Go to bed and ice your knee and I will be in after I shower.” He nods and bends to give me another gentle kiss as he leaves the kitchen. Twenty minutes later after I shower I walk into my bedroom to find my beautiful thug fast asleep in a towel on top of the bed complete with frozen peas. I imagine cage fighting must be exhausting. Actually you know what? Watching it is too.
I wake to feel two eyes on me and I roll toward him. To my surprise he isn’t in bed with me. He’s sitting on the side of the bed drinking a protein shake.
“I made you breakfast.” He smiles as he gestures to my bedside table. I look over to see a chocolate protein shake in a large glass with ice.
I frown. “Is this a sick joke?” It’s too early for this superhero workout shit. “Josh, I would like two eggs on toast, please.”
He frowns. “You don’t like protein.”
