The Bass that Makes My Heart Beat

Chapter 2

I woke up a little while later to a knocking on my window making me see Earl smiling at me. He then looked at my lap making me look down to see Geoff was still asleep. I motioned to Earl to give me a minute and he nodded.

"Hey Geoff, we're at the house." I cooed while playing with his hair a little.

No response.

I took my other hand away from his hand and started slapping his face softly.

"Geoff, wake up." I called before he groaned and turned his body to face mine before snuggling into my stomach. "Geoff, we're at the house, wake up!" I exclaimed slapping his arm hard.

"Ow! What was that for?" He asked finally opening his eyes and looking up at me.

"We're at the house and you fell asleep on me the car ride over. So get up." I replied before he slowly got up and looked around.

"Oh. Sorry." He stated before we unbuckled and got out seeing the others walk into the beautiful home.

"Whoa, this place is gorgeous!" I exclaimed.

"But it doesn't even hold a candle next to you." He replied making me blush.

"So, we're starting the flirting up again?" I asked.

"Of course." He replied taking my hand and pulling me up to the front door before letting go and stepping aside. "Ladies first." He smiled bowing.

"Why thank you." I replied before walking in and stopping at how beautiful the place was.

"Layla, come here! Look at our room!" Maria called breaking me out of my trance before following her inside of the room.

"Wow." I said looking at the room. "This was meant for a royal family." I stated hearing a deep chuckle behind me.

"Yeah, Tony liked it that way." Eli said making me nod.

"I can see why. That man wears more makeup than me." I replied making them all laugh before the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it." Earl said before walking out.

"So, which bed do you want Maria? I'm leaving it up to you." I asked making her look at the beds.

"The one next to the wall. You know how I feel about windows." She replied making me nod before spotting my suitcase and went to grab it but Geoff beat me to it.

"I can grab my own stuff! What are you going to do next? Change me?!" I asked exasperatingly.

"I mean, if you want me to." He replied making me roll my eyes before taking my suitcase from him.

"I'm good thank you." I stated before huffing as I carefully sat my suitcase on the bed next to the window looking out to see a beautiful yard.

Then I heard a meow. I looked down and found Geoff's cat that he posts pictures about on Twitter.

"Hey there beautiful. Come here." I called patting the space to the left of my suitcase as he jumped up.

I started loving on him because cats are my spirit animals. He began purring before a big hand started petting him with me. I looked over to see Geoff smiling softly at the cat.

"Clayton Bigsby never likes anyone but me petting him. He didn't even like my ex-wife." He said softly making my smile drop to a frown.

"You were married?" I asked as I pulled my hand away from his cat making him sigh.

"It didn't last long. I thought I loved her, but I didn't. She was also having an affair." He replied before his cat put his front paws on his chest and nudged his face with hers.
