Chapter 24

Aspen's POV

Water.

Water.

Lord, I feel like sh*t.

And what the hell am I sleeping on?

I open my eyes slowly to see that I am laying on Dante. I gasp and try to get to but he pulled me right back.

"Where are you going princess?" He asked eyes still closed but his voice was deeper from the sleep.

"I must be crushing you" I wince at my hoarse voice and he laughs.

"Have you seen yourself? You may be curvy" he says winking and I blush. "But you're not even one hundred pounds"

"Oh, but you called me an elephant once" and it was his turn to wince.

"Yes...well, I have to admit I was a bit rude before."

"A bit?" I say raising an eyebrow.

"A lot I mean. I just..I wanted your attention.."

"My attention?" I repeat.

"Yup, you were always working or doing surveys that you never really...I don't know...you were professional and I like that but I guess I wanted more...and then my brother came along and it was all smiles with you and him.” I stay quiet for some time but then I smirk.
