“Which is exactly why I want to watch my game on it,” he fires. “It’s more animated.”
I fold my arms across my chest and glare at him. “Stop whining like a little girl about it. Go to your room and watch TV or leave me alone.”
“This is my house,” he says. “Don’t boss me around in my house.”
I am about to respond to his pettiness when my phone rings beside me. I glance at the screen to see an unsaved number and hesitate momentarily before taking the call.
“Hello.”
“Jasmine.”
My blood runs cold, and I freeze. He only said my name, but I’ll recognize that voice anywhere in the world. It’s Alec. I haven’t heard from him since the night we had sex, and I didn’t expect him to call. I didn’t even know he had my number; we’d never spoken to each other on the phone.
“It’s Alec.”
“I know who it is. Hold on.” I leave the couch, and Riley sighs with relief as I leave the living room. I’m hardly upstairs when he changes my show and puts his basketball game on, but I don’t care. My focus is on the man on the other end of the line. My body thrums with excitement, and I shut the door as I walk into my room.
“Alec, hi.”
“Hi.” His voice is sexier on the phone, and I shut my eyes to take it in.
“I didn’t know you had my number.”
“I’ve had it for three years,” he says.
“What?” I shriek. “So, why’re you calling me today?”
He pauses for a fleeting moment. “I don’t know. I guess I just wanted to hear your voice.”
My heart skips in my chest. “My voice?”
“Hmm.” He hums. “Is Riley home?”
“Yes.” I roll into the bed giddily. “Why?”
“I want to see you.”
I sit up. With how fast my heart is beating, I’m scared I may have a heart attack.
“I’m coming over,” Alec says.
“No!” I cry.
“What?”
“That’s not a good idea,” I tell him. “Riley is home; he’ll suspect something is going on.”
“Do you mind?”
“I do.”
There’s a long pause before he sighs and says, “Will you be able to meet me somewhere?”
Is Alec Lionheart asking me out on a date? “Where?”
“I’ll text you an address. Do you want me to send a car to pick you up?”
“No. I’ll meet you there.”
