Lottie POV
"So, what's the deal with you and Knox?" I asked, side-eyeing my new companion more than a little curiously. I didn't know much about what my mates had been up to while they were away. Perhaps I should ask them, but I had a feeling I would get the unedited version from Chase.
"Caught that, huh?" Chase asked, holding the door open to my bedroom. We had walked up here silently while I had stewed over the last twenty minutes. Deciding I would have to trust my mates and their reasons for asking me to leave, I let go of the anger and decided to make the most of the time with Chase.
"Well, subtly isn't exactly your forte, darling!" I laughed, his eye row lifting at the name I had bestowed on him.
"Get cleaned up, and maybe I will tell ya... Darling." Chase winked in a way that I am sure many women would find sexy. Me, not so much!
"Dick!" I groaned, ducking under his arm and heading to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I may not be able to do much about my clothing, but I could at least make sure I had fresh breath.
"Why don't you have any clothes here?" Chase asked, appearing in the doorway, holding a bunch of Kane and Knox's clothes. His face scrunched into an indignant frown.
"Did you go through my drawers?" I gasped through a mouthful of toothpaste and froth.
"Yes. I thought I would at least find a few lacy items." He grinned, wiggling his eyebrows suggestively. "But there is fuck all of yours." He stated, a question lingering between us.
Why!
"I have only been here a few days and haven't had a chance to get my things from Mike's apartment, and the bag of shit I brought with me is in Lilly's room." I explained, feeling toothpaste dribble down my chin.
"Ah!" Chase nodded before disappearing again. Rolling my eyes, I went back to brushing my teeth, washing my face, and brushing my tangled hair. Only when I had finished did I realise how silent the room was; fear crept up my spine as I poked my head out the bathroom door to see the room empty.
