CHAPTER

TWENTY-FIVE

LAYTON

I stand by the door, waiting for Penelope to show up. I look like a little kid waiting for a sleepover. And it doesn’t bother me. As long as I get more time with her, I couldn’t care less about anything else. Including Riley and his insane fucking work schedule. But I still put in a few extra practices this week to make up for the time away.

Hopefully, I’ll get a whole 48 hours without him bothering me. If I’m lucky. Usually, I’m not.

I don’t want interruptions. I already have to share her. Between her working and me practicing, there’s not as much time left in the day as I’d like. And then there’s the fact that I have to contend with… him.

He’s always there, like something hovering at the corner of my vision, and she’s not even bothering to ignore him anymore in favor of me. Since I found out and agreed to our little arrangement, she’s gotten a lot more bold. And he keeps getting in my goddamn way.

The last time she was here, we were making out on my couch. I was halfway to third base when he called. Then she left.

I’m jealous as fuck. I’ll admit it. I’ll even admit it to her. I don’t want any competition. I’m insecure as hell. Especially when it comes to going up against someone as refined as Preston. Someone who obviously fits with her better than me. But if she can compartmentalize, I should at least try to learn how she does it so I can follow her lead. The other option is losing her, and I’m not willing to trade my time with her for anything, even if it’s destined to end at some point.

About the time I figure out how to broach the subject, her car pulls into my driveway and all thoughts I had about Preston and bringing him up leave my mind. Fuck it. I get the real her. The relaxed her. I’m fine. I don’t need anything else.

I pick up my bags and drop them at her feet as she jumps into my arms. She didn’t even bother to go home in change after work. I smile. “Did you miss me?”

She gives me a kiss before placing the keys in my hand. “Of course.”

“What’s going on?”

“I told you if you were super nice, you’d get to drive,” she reminds me. “I think you’ve earned it.”

“Wait, you were serious?” I exclaim as she walks to the passenger side.

She giggles. “I don’t make idle promises, sir.”

“Get in, woman!” I command.

She giggles harder as she watches me rush around to her door ahead of her and open it. As soon as she’s settled, I throw my bags into the backseat and slide in too.

I turn the key, sighing as I listen to the car purr. Goddamn perfection. Just like her. I lean over to kiss her and she waits until I’m inches from her face to warn me.

“I never let anyone drive my car, so don’t make me regret this.
