Love At First Glance (Love at Firsts #1)(66)

“You’re not so bad yourself, can’t wait to see if the sex will be weird.” He chuckles.

“Can you imagine?” I look at him in horror.

“Nah, not gonna happen, I’m way too good.” He smirks and I just want to slap the smirk off of his face.

“You’re way too cocky for my own good.” I shake my head and walk out of his house.

“You knew it long before last night so don’t use that excuse.” He chuckles and opens the car door for me.

“That’s for sure. You’ll drive me crazy one of these days.”

“Crazy in love?” he asks after getting in the car.

“That’s already done, Love.” I smile at him.

“Good.” He sighs happily and starts driving to mine. “Are you in the office all day today?”

“Why? Spying on me?” I raise my eyebrow and take a sip of my much needed coffee.

“Of course.” He looks at me seriously then grins. “No, just thought we could have lunch together?”

“Sounds good to me, I’m working on my Untamed Shadows article for the rest of the week so I’ll be at the office every day.”

“Good. Means I can see you more often.” He grins creepily.

“Are you really going to be one of those boyfriends who needs to know where their girlfriends are at any given time?” I look at him with a seriously look on my face.

“No, of course not. Just wondering what you have planned as I know you sometimes go out of the office.” He shrugs.

“I don’t have anything out of the office for another two weeks I think. My next one is an interview with a ballet choreographer. That reminds me, I have tickets for one of her performances, so you’re forced to go with me.” I grin innocently.

“You know I wouldn’t mind. Ballet wouldn’t be my first choice, but I’ll go with you.” He smiles.

“You’re too sweet.” I smile and get out of the car as he parks in front of my building. “You coming up too?”

“Well yeah…chocolate buns…and miss a chance to say hi to my buddy?” He cocks his head to the side.

“Who? Va-”

“Don’t you even think about finishing that name?” He glares at me playfully.

“Too soon?” He rounds the car and joins me, resting his arm around my shoulder and kissing me.

“Yes.”

“Hey, he’s my neighbor, that’s all, stop freaking out or no sex for you.” I squint my eyes at him.

“Threatening me already?”

“If that’s the only thing that works, then yes.” I shrug.

“I’ll work on it. Don’t ask me to be best friends with him though.”

“I won’t, just be polite that’s all I’m asking.”

“I can do that for you.” He kisses me and we walk in, taking the stairs this time.

“Thank you.”

“My pleasure, come on.” He pushes me slightly as he jogs past me and starts running up the stairs slowly.

“Are you trying to kill me this early in the morning?”

“Last one at yours is a loser.” He chuckles and keeps on going.

“I’m a loser and I don’t care.” I chuckle and try to keep up, but he’s too fast for me. When I make it to my floor, I see him standing in the open stairwell doorway with his eyes fixed on something…or someone. As I walk up to Spencer, I see him and Valentine having a stare off. “Gentlemen.” I subtly warn them.

“Haven.” Valentine greets me without taking his eyes off of Spencer.

“Will you two stop?” I glare at both of them.

“I’m not the one that has the problem.” Valentine shrugs breaking his stare to look at me. “I’m having a Halloween party on Saturday at the club. You’re both invited.”

“Awesome!” I smile. I LOVE Halloween. It’ll be a good change to go out with Spencer for once. We haven’t gone out for Halloween in years.

“We have plans already,” Spencer says wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me close to him.

“I see you two finally got together.” Valentine gives us a genuine smile as he takes in Spencer’s hold on me.

“Yes. Took us long enough.” I chuckle.

“Who were you f*cking yesterday afternoon?” Spencer asks him out of the blue.

“Not that it’s any of your business…” Valentine replies.

“Seriously? Doubting me again?” I glare at Spencer.

“No, I just need some peace of mind.” He sighs.

“Your accountant.” Valentine smirks.

“What?” Spencer looks disgusted.

“You heard me. She wanted some, called me and we hooked up.” Valentine shrugs. “What’s the problem?”

“He thought you and I were f*cking, he went ballistic.”

“Like I told Haven the other day, I respect what you two had when you were just friends and what you have now. It was obvious that something was going on. I respect you both, even if you don’t trust me. I never would steal another man’s woman. However, if she comes to me, that’s another story.”

“Right.” Spencer looks like he’s ready to punch Valentine.
