“It was implied.”

“Fuck her. That bitch needs to go down.”

“Okay, Brooklyn, bring it down.”

“Shut up.” Nic dabbed a fry into the gravy. “We could take her out.”

“With what, your credit card bill?”

“Well, then what’s Logan doing about it? And how did you find out?”

She explained the airport fiasco and her secret bodyguard. Then going to Logan for an explanation. She left out the make-up sex. That was rather obvious at this point.

Nic sat back when she was done and slumped in her seat. “Are you kidding me?”

“I wish I was.”

“So this whole time, he’s been keeping you safe?”

“Don’t get that look in your eyes.”

“Aww, c’mon. You gotta admit that’s some romantic shit right there.”

“No, he lied.”

“You have to admit that’s some of it. There’s no way your panties would have hit your ankles, because I can tell you’ve gotten superiorly laid, if that wasn’t the case.”

“Nic.” Her best friend was all wound up and it was always a trick to yank her back from the edge.

“Am I lying?”

“No.” Bella warmed her hands around the mug. “But he still lied.”

“He pulled some caveman shit. Now you have to keep him in check. Because if he does it again, then you need to kick his ass.”

She smiled behind the mug before she took a sip. “So, there’s a part two.”

“Seriously? There’s more?” Nic’s voice was almost a squeak. She lifted her mug for a drink.

“He wants me to move in.”

Her mug thunked back on the table. “You just got back together.”

“That’s what I said.”

“Wow.”

“Yeah, it’s been a crazy few days. Oh, and he loves me.”

Nic held up a finger. “Okay, are you trying to give me a heart attack? Because you can’t keep dropping bombs like this.”

“And I love him, too.”

“Well, duh. I knew that one. And honestly, if he hired a dude and dudette to follow you around for the last five plus months—wow. Hi. Expensive.”

“He’s mildly rich.”

“Still, guys don’t like to part with their money. Especially rich ones, they want everything for free. Which doesn’t make sense, but anyway. The salient point in all of this is that he must really love you.”
