"Is eating McDonald's the new, 'Netflix and chill' vibe?"

I pull away from Freddie, seeing Jade leaning against the entryway of the living room. Her hair is out up in a messy bun, and her spaghetti strap tank top rested loosely on her arm, revealing a bit of cleavage. Freddie cleared his throat, then immediately went back to eating.

"Jade," I reply, removing a strand of hair behind my ear as a blush creeps into my cheeks. "how long were you standing there?"

"Long enough to know that Mr. MoneyBags is a Christian dominant." she gives my companion a sly grin. "Amanda might be too innocent for you to handle, Mr. Highmore. Maybe, if my fiance is up for a night of fun, you can teach him how to tie me up."

Freddie looks at her, his mouth slightly agape. He lets out a nervous chuckle. "Actually, that wouldn't be a good idea. I wouldn't want to cause strife before you two tie the knot."

Jade leans forward and laughs. "You thought!" she says. She tilts her head back and continues to laugh. "No, but seriously," she says once she catches her breath. "are you guys on a date? What's that whole contract crap I keep hearing about?"

Freddie turns his head to face me. "You tell her everything, don't you?"

I shrug. "What? She's my best friend."

"That's right," Jade replies, now stepping into the room. "and as her best friend, I'm going to ask you to do me a favor. Contract, or no contract, you better get your head out of your ass and treat her with respect. If not," she takes one of the plastic knives on the table. "I'll make sure that the next time you have a moment alone, you won't be able to have kids. Got it?"

Freddie gulped. "Got it."

"Good," she snatched a hash brown and left the room, calling out to me saying: "Eric's coming over! So be sure to get the Journey album playing!"

"Oh, crap," I grumble.

"What's wrong, love?" Freddie asks.

"Eric's coming over," I reply flatly. "which means they'll be having sex -- and lots of it." I run my hand through my hair in frustration. "Sometimes I wish I could just get away for a bit."

"Well, you know, I have money." Freddie replied as if it were the most obvious statement in the world. "I can take you anywhere you like, place you in a hotel of yer choosing."

"I could use a few nights in a hotel to get some homework done for class," I reply. "would that be too much to ask?"

Freddie wrapped his arm around me, pulling me close. "No, love." He says. "It's no trouble at all." He places a kiss on my forehead; then pulls away as he takes out his phone to book me a hotel.

Once he is done booking my three nights, Freddie instructed me to pack a suitcase and have a few changes in clothes. I did as he instructed, placing my bras, panties, tees, jeans and two jackets in my suitcase. After I was done grabbing my travel pack that contained a toothbrush and other necessaties, I went to my boom box and blared the Journey CD as I could hear Jade screaming about how long and thick Eric was. Like I needed to know that.
