“She’s a bitch. And he’s a schmuck.”
“It’s sweet! She’s damaged from the spotlight and he’s clueless. It’s adorable,” she complained, but he just shook his head.
“Watch your movie, Kace, I’ll just lie here and look at stuff on my phone.”
“If you don’t want to watch it, then why are you in here?”
He looked from his phone to her. “For the ice cream. Give me another bite.”
She pursed her lips at him, and he shot her a grin before she directed the spoon in his mouth. “Plus, you’ll be all hot and bothered and feeling all romantic after it’s over, so I’m bound to get laid.”
“Pig.”
Leaning closer, he snorted in her ear, nuzzling her and causing her to giggle before pushing him away. Grinning, he fell back against the pillows as she cuddled in closer to him.
“What are you looking at?” she asked after a moment.
“Apartments.”
“Really?”
“Yeah, as soon as I sign my new contract, I’m gonna move out. I told Karson that when I came back. I’m sure they want their house back.”
She paused her movie and leaned on his shoulder, looking down at his phone as he went through each apartment. “Are you gonna stay close to Karson?”
He shrugged. “Not sure yet.”
“Do you want an apartment or a house? I mean, you don’t plan on leaving, do you?”
“Not really. I wanna retire here,” he admitted and she nodded.
“I know, so why don’t you just buy a house?”
“A house might be too big for just me,” he suggested, curious to see what she would say to that.
“You could get a dog,” she said and he smiled.
“I could,” he agreed.
“And I might come visit.”
“Just a visit?” he asked and she looked up at him.
“Um, yeah, you still haven’t taken me on a date,” she said and he laughed.
“I got you tomorrow,” he decided and she grinned before looking back down at his phone. Taking it from him, she clicked a few things and then gave it back.
“If I were to come visit, I’d want to visit a house in this neighborhood.”
Fighting his grin, he said, “Good idea.”
Clicking through each house, they found something in each that neither of them cared for. He realized they essentially wanted the same thing. A huge kitchen, a huge yard, and a master bedroom with at least four other bedrooms. When one that was down the road came up, she looked up at him. “That’s a nice house.”
“It is,” he agreed, clicking through each picture. It was almost the same layout as Karson and Lacey’s, and the price wasn’t too frightening. “It’s huge just for me and a dog.”
“Yeah, but maybe you’ll get married and have some kids?”
Scoffing, he looked down at her as she looked up at him. “I’ll buy it tomorrow if you’ll move in with me.”
She eyed him and then looked away. “We are going on six hours, Jordie. You can’t get me back, have mind-blowing sex, punch my ex, fight with me, and then ask me to move in.”
“I think I asked before the punching of the ex happened,” he corrected her and she shot him a salty look.
“Don’t be so literal. Give us a little time before we jump into something like that.”
“Okay, answer me this—will we be sleeping alone from this point forward?”
Her eyes narrowed. “That’s not fair. I like sleeping with you.”
“Oh, I do too, which is why I won’t be sleeping without you unless I’m on the road. But at least this way, we can do it as loud as we want and anywhere we want.”
She shook her head. “Let me sleep on that,” she decided and he nodded.
“Fine, I don’t sign my contract till Friday.”
“I’ll have an answer by then,” she agreed.
