My back rested against Maddox’s chest as my legs were stretched out in the bathtub. I couldn’t even see them with all the soft foam floating on the surface of the warm bath.

I’d had so many doubts earlier that the night would end with the two of us talking things out and as I sat there with him, feeling his arms around me, my heart was at peace because he wasn’t mad at me anymore.

I was still thinking about the lengths I had gone to just to make him notice me when he snapped me out of my thoughts with his next words.

“You know,” he said behind me, his chin resting on my shoulder, “I still can’t believe you wore my precious shirt.”

I chuckled with disbelief as I turned my head slightly to look back at him. “You left me no other choice. I had to make you notice me and talk to me.”

As I waited for his response, I kept looking back at him, but when it was time for him to speak, he pressed his lips on mine for a quick kiss that actually made my heart flutter as I didn’t expect it.

I was still blinking rapidly to process it when he said, “I actually wanted to get it washed as soon as possible, but I think I want to keep it that way a little longer. It smells like you and I love that.”

“I never thought I’d ever hear you say that,” I said, as I looked away.

He tightened his arms around me, dramatically inhaling my scent. “Yup, I love the way you smell.”

I knew he didn’t mean it at that moment as I was covered in the scent of the bath, but it didn’t make me feel any less amused.

When he placed his lips on my cheek, they were just as warm as the temperature of the bath, making my lips curve into a smile.

I let him kiss my cheek for as long as he wanted and when he finally gave it to rest, he leaned back as he spoke again.

“How was Aunt Patricia’s first day at her new job?”

My face lit up before I could even tell him.

“When I spoke to her, she said it was a pleasant experience.” I looked down at the foam like I could see my Aunt right there, working in her uniform. “I’m actually glad you asked. Just so you know, she wanted to tell you herself, but she didn’t want to bother you. She knows you’re a busy person.”

“You’re right about that. Speaking of being busy, I have a busy schedule on Friday, but I’m cancelling all of it because you have to meet Dean.”

My head shot back to meet his gaze, my eyebrows raised in surprise as I shook my head with a smile.

“You don’t have to do that.”

“I want to.”

It’s really okay,” I said softly. “Dean is actually paying for my flight.”

He scoffed as he squeezed me possessively for a second. “No, he’s not.”

“What?”

“He won’t be paying for anything,” he said with a hint of cockiness. “That’s because I’ll be the one to personally take you to him.”

My face lit up so hard that he narrowed his eyes as he studied me.

“Look at you, all excited that your boyfriend is taking you.”

I tried to wipe the smile off my face, but failed. “It’s just… at one point, I didn’t even know if you were still coming with me. You were still mad at me.”

He kissed my cheek again. “I’m definitely coming with you. As long as you want me there.”

“What about your dad?” I asked softly. “How’s he handling everything?”
