A ping had my eyes dashing to the edge of my screen, my heart all but stopping as ScotsDaddy38 popped up.
Crossing off the DM, I double-clicked on Logan. Maybe waiting would have been more ladylike, less desperate, but I didn’t care. I’d waited for days on nothing but a hope and I wasn’t going to let him go that easily.
You’re here.
There was a delay before he responded.
I am. I couldn’t stay away.
I hoped you’d come back.
I shouldn’t be here.
I’m glad you are.
Me too.
I heard about the wedding date.
I’d cried for a solid hour when I heard they’d moved the date forward. It seemed too quick.
They informed me when I got back from Rosenhall. It’s probably for the best.
It wasn’t for the best. He was being a prize idiot.
Can we talk?
Baby girl, I think that’s a bad idea.
Just talking. As friends. I think that should be okay.
The dots bounced on my screen before his reply popped in.
Fine. As friends. No naughty stuff.
I rang through with a private call to him, ignoring the numbers racking up on Footguy’s DM box.
‘Hey,’ I said, smiling as his face popped up, no longer needing to keep me from seeing him. Dark circles ringed his eyes as he propped his phone up on his bedside table, resting his cheek on his arm and facing the camera.
‘You’re a sight for sore eyes,’ he said.
‘Tired eyes. You look exhausted.’
‘I haven’t slept well since... well, I just haven’t been sleeping.’ Logan’s voice cracked as he broke into a yawn.
‘Maybe take a long lie in the morning? You’re your own boss, you can do that.’
‘Mmm. Not tomorrow. I have to meet Ewen at his club at nine.’
I made a mental note of that little nugget before mimicking his stance, laying on my side facing the camera.
‘You look so pretty, Valentina. You suit white.’
The white babydoll I wore was cute and flouncy, its delicate tulle body floating around my hips when I moved and giving flashes of the matching panties.
‘The colour of innocence...’ I said while winking.
‘We all know that isn’t true.’ His face cracked into a grin that sent a warm wave through me. He always looked so much younger when he smiled. His eyes dipped closed for a moment too long before they opened back up, struggling to focus for a second.
