Even Better Together

chapter sixteen

Hunter

She's mine.

I wake up early Sunday morning, looking down at the beautiful girl in my arms.

Her lashes flutter as she breathes peacefully, her right palm on my chest and her leg over my lower half, I think she loves cuddling me.

I knew in that moment down in the lobby, when I nearly introduced her as my girlfriend that I had to do it tonight. I couldn't wait any longer, we had amazing sex again last night, which is a complete bonus for me.

I'm so fucking happy.

The feeling in my chest when I think about this girl, I'm definitely getting feelings and they are coming fast.

Sophia stirs in my arms. We are going to have a chilled day at mine today, no stress about work, no plans, just me and my girl.

"Good morning beautiful." I press a delicate kiss to her forehead.

"Morning."

After lunch we are in my kitchen chatting and drinking coffee, Sophia loves my coffee machine, she likes to get the mugs out, presses all the buttons and watches it make her coffee.

It's like she's never seen a coffee machine before, ironic that she works in a damn coffee shop.

"Hunter, I think your phone is ringing." Sophia says, looking behind her to my phone in the living area.

"It's Jack, let me get this real quick alright?" I tell Sophia, looking down at my screen and the caller ID.

Jack knows I had plans last night, and that Sophia was staying here, this better be important.

"Jack, what's up?" I answer bluntly.

"Shit, did last night not go too well?" He asks me.

"Yes, infact, better than I ever expected." I look at Sophia who is staring at me while sipping her coffee.

"Oh, well good. Listen, I was just making plans with Kim for my birthday and wondered if we could do Lava Lounge next Saturday night? And maybe Brent could have the night off to join us at the club after?" He asks, knowing full well I'll have to redo the schedule now tomorrow for this.

But, he is my best friend, who runs the club for me amazingly.

"Sure, Adam is on day off too, so I'll sort Brent out and it should be good."

"Thanks Hunter, your the best, oh and you can bring Sophia too." He chuckles, singing her name.

"Yes, I'll be bringing my girlfriend-"

I pull the phone away from my ear as Jack screams down the line. I see Sophia's brows raise and I shake my head.

"Thanks man, you've just burst our eardrums now."

"Wait, is she there? Can I talk to her?"

"No, bye." I end the call before he has chance to reply.

"You think he's happy I'm your girlfriend?" Sophia chuckles as I place my phone back on the table, walking back to my seat in the kitchen.

"Oh yeah, he's always tried to set me up with loads of women over the years-" I stop myself as I realize how that came out.

Sophia looks down at her mug and gulps.

Shit, I didn't mean I'd been with loads of women.

"Soph, I didn't mean that, I-"

"No, it's fine, if you've been with lots of women before me, it's alright."
