"Where is it?" I grit, looking down at him. When he doesn't respond, I stand in front of the screen to block his view and force him to look at me. "You're so childish, you know that?" I analyse with a squint. My eyes trail behind him, to the centre of his sheets on the bed and my phone lights up with a notification. He must've caught it too because he reaches back before I can even react and pushes the phone into the waistband of his shorts. "I was actually gonna give it back to you at the door then you cursed at me, so now I changed my mind." I release the biggest self controlling sigh, step forward and grab at the neck of his shirt, threateningly. "Leo do not play with me, I will reach in and take it. No hesitation." His eyes meet mine and he chuckles before grabbing my wrists with his large hands and speedily flipping me so I land with my back flat against the bed with him now towering over me, his knees beside my thighs on the mattress. "Go on then," He smirks. "Take it." •~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~• Leonardo Blanc and Noémie Moreau have known each other longer than they can both remember.
