Chapter 36

"Hey, Lila. Can you come over here?" I asked, crossing my legs while sipping from the juice box.

"I already left home and I'm heading to your house right now. I'll be there in a few seconds, or a minute. Bye, I have to check something in this stupid car." She groaned.

"Thanks, babe." I ended the call, dropped the phone and juice box on the table, resting my head and legs on each arm of the chair and resumed watching the television. I had lost interest in the movie long ago but I hadn't turned it off due to the situation at hand ringing in my head.

Nikita chuckled. I glanced at the dining chair she had pulled to sit in a corner of the living room. She was grinning from ear to ear and her face was crimson.

"What's going on?" I lifted an eyebrow at her.

She glanced at me, still grinning. "It's Dash."

"Your loverboy? This isn't the first time you're smiling because of him. I'm certain he's not a one-night stand person." I smirked.
