Recap
Is it the rumours or is it that you don't want James to mistake " Richie replied in his cold calculative voice that she had seen him use to people or sometimes on phone.

She froze for a minute and turned over to look at him, he was eyeing the wine glass with a cold smile .
She knew this was going to be bad...

Recap ends

She wasn't going to let it go bad.

She went to him and sat on the floor next to his knees while kissing his right palm that wasn't holding the glass and looked up at him.

"You know that's not true right? I ve never cared about what anyone thought when it come to you Richie" she muttered softly looking at him while resting his right palm on her cheeks as the left hand held the wineglass.

"You've always been my priority, but I don't want him to walk in to us watching porn, that looks so wrong and perverted Richie, its basic manners right?" She said softly comforting him while slowly moving up and sitting up on his lap.

He didn't reply for a while but he stroked her cheeks and didn't push her away when she climbed up on him, she knew Richie was very moody and she could not let him get closed off on her .

"Richie, talk to me baby" she murmured softly as she took his face on her hand amd made him look at her face.

His face was still expressionless as he stared at her face and softly patted her cheeks .

"Prove it then "

"Prove what Richie?"

"That you don't care what he or anyone thinks " he replied with a sly smile as he kissed her cheeks now.

She froze and that only deepened his intent .

"Uh, how do I prove that Richie? " she asked softly as she looked up at him doe eyed as he played with her hair.

"Oh nothing really, switch off the porno and stay close to me and don't move away when he comes" he said looking straight in her eyes as if in a challenge.

"No problem at all " she mumbled amd nodded her head drantically.

He smiled and got up to answer the knock on the door, James walked in and sat on the opposite couch facing her as Richard refilled the wine and sat close to her pulling her closer by wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Uh hey James" she said nervously while pulling the edge of the t-shirt lower hoping it will cover up more, her face was totally heated up and red, for that she was sure.

Richard looked down at her and went closer and blew some air in her ears before muttering "Its okay, he has seen worse, trust me " . She just nodded her head and she could imagine how it would probably look like to James to see her wearing a guy tShirt at this hour in Richie's room looking all disheveled and Richie's behaviour was nothing but adding fuel to it.

"Oh hey, Celiena" he nodded as he finished texting and looked up at them all expressionless.

"So what is it"Richard asked somberly to James and he quickly switched over to Italian while replying and Celiena could only judge what was happening based on their facial expression and they gave away none.

"What is so important that y'all have to talk in italian, Its almost rude you know" she said haughtily as she hugged herself and pouted. James just looked at him and raised a single eyebrow and Richard just nodded.
