CHAPTER 7.
I wake to the sound of my phone ringing.
"Hello?" I whisper into it.
"Why are you whispering?" Bree asks, nearly bursting my eardrums.
"Because it's 4 in the morning over here and I don't want to wake anyone up." I tell her.
"Oh yeah. Oops. Who would you wake up? Your 'fuck buddy' perhaps?"
"No! I'm living with someone."
"Who?!" She shouts, making me drop the phone.
"My boss." I say, putting the phone back to my ear.
"A guy?"
"Yes, his name is Everett.'' I explain.
"Is he hot?" Typical of her to ask me that.
"Yes, no, kind of."
"Well is he or isn't he? Answer me straight woman!"
"Yes, he is hot!" I admit, just as Everett walks through my bedroom door.
"Who's hot?" He asks.
"Who's that?" Bree asks.
"No one." I tell them both.
"But I swear I heard someone. Are you fucking your boss? Callie you dirty bastard!" Bree says, laughing.
"Bree I have to go. I will talk to you soon. Say hi to Stephen for me. Love you." I hang up the phone and look back to my bedroom door. Everett is leaning against my doorframe, wearing only black pyjama pants. I stare openly at his muscular chest, his defined abs that I want to lick so badly. No Callie you don't! I look back up to his face and I notice his brown hair is messed up, sticking up in all directions.
"Who's hot?" He asks again.
"Um, Nathaniel."
"Liar." He says, moving to sit on my bed. I pull the blankets up to cover me and he smiles before sitting on the edge. "You know I have a rule in this house."
''Which is?" I ask him.
"If you wake someone up you have to sleep in their bed with them."
"Since when does someone have a rule like that?"
"Since I see you laying in a double bed by yourself. Surely you need company."
"Not yours." I snap.
"A rule's a rule." He says, grabbing a fist full of my blankets, preparing to pull them off.
"Technically Bree woke you up! She rang me!"
"Well Bree isn't here so someone has to pay the price." He says, raising his eyebrows and pulling the blankets off me.
"NO!" I yell, clinging on to them and pulling them back over me. He keeps pulling them, a huge smile on his face. Is this guy ever serious?
"I'm stronger than you Callie you might as well let go." He says, pulling the blankets harder. I sit up, struggling to hold on to them.
"Please Everett!" I ask sweetly. "I'll do anything."
"Anything?" He asks, his grip loser on the blankets.
"Not like that." I say flatly.
"No deal princess." He says, ripping the rest of the blankets off me. Leaving me sitting in my bed with only my singlet and pyjama shorts on. I get off the bed and cross my arms over my chest.
