The next afternoon, I’m seated in the backseat of my car, Hamish behind the wheel. Just as I’m getting out of the car to walk up to the front door of Skye’s building, Kennedy rushes out and snaps a photo. She’s a regular paparazzi.

“So, this is how the other half lives,” she muses, bending over to peer through the rear passenger window. “Hello, Hamish!” She waves at my driver, who gives her an awkward wave back.

“Haven’t you got something more important you could be doing?” I ask her.

She shakes her head and gives me a quirky smile. “Not really.”

I glance inside the open doorway to see if Skye’s on her way out.

“Relax, pal,” Kennedy says. “She’ll be out in a sec. Sheesh. Impatient much?”

I keep my eye on the doorway, and as if on cue, Skye appears. She looks sexy as hell in a pair of ripped skinny jeans, an oversized pale blue sweater, and short boots. Her long hair is pulled up into a messy bun, a few tempting tendrils left hanging down the sides of her face.

Smiling, she waves at me.

I take one look at her, and my breath catches in my chest.

“Sorry I’m late,” she says, a bit breathless as though she’d been in a mad rush.

“Not at all. Your timing is perfect. I was just chatting with Kennedy.”

Kennedy winks at Skye. “Have fun, kids. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t do.”

Skye blushes, and I have to wonder what these girls have been talking about. Kennedy’s probably been teasing Skye all morning. Reaching forward I open the passenger side door

Kennedy snickers behind me. “How chivalrous.”

I reach behind my back and flip her the finger.

Skye slides into the back seat, and I follow her in. Leaning close, I kiss her lightly on the lips.

“Oh my God, will you two get a room?” Kennedy grouses.

Skye blushes again, this time at Kennedy’s insinuation, whilst I, on the other hand, think it’s not a bad idea. I could have Hamish drop us off at a five-star hotel—the best in the city. The thought lingers for a moment before I reluctantly dismiss it.

Skye isn’t interested in extravagance, you tool.

I could throw thousands at this girl and get nowhere.

I can’t fuck this up. She wants to go to Notting Hill, so that’s where we’ll go.

Kennedy lingers by my open car window.

“Take care of her, Will,” she says, practically glaring at me. “You hear me?”

I nod. “I will.”

She leans down to whisper, “If you hurt her, I’ll personally castrate you. Capeesh?”

I laugh, but she doesn’t even crack a smile. She’s dead serious, and I realize I’m walking a very fine line here. We’ve all become good friends—Connor included. If I fuck up, I risk throwing a massive spanner in the works.

I reach out the car window and take Kennedy’s hand, looking at her with a hundred percent sincerity. “You have my word as a gentleman. I promise I’ll treat her like a queen.”

Kennedy’s tense expression melts into a genuine smile. “You like her,” she mouths.
