" Look who's here." Erica gushed as she walked towards her friends. She parted her arms, and her friends rushed to hug her.
"I've missed you," Avery said.
"Same," Suzzy exclaimed
They sat down on the couch facing each other.
"So start talking", Erica said as she crossed her arms and looked at Avery.
Avery diverted her eyes from Erica's piercing eyes, and she rubbed the back of her neck.
"About what?" Avery asked in a low tone.
" About your relationship with Alex. The last time we checked, you both were one step away from killing each other. Ok, you were one step away from having his head."
Avery groaned and closed her eyes before opening them. " I wasn't one step away from killing him. It was just a misunderstanding between a couple."
Suzzy rolled her eyes, " Oh sure, now she calls it a misunderstanding. Cool."
Avery was ready to retaliate when a figure walked into the living room.
"Who's he?" Suzzy asked
Erica shrugged her shoulders and leaned against the couch. "He's one of my subordinates."
Suzzy made an oh sound.
"Didn't you say you had someone you wanted to introduce us to" Where's that person?"
" Oh yeah! Unfortunately, she will be coming in the evening"
The men sat beside them. Everything was ok until both Stefan and Greyson sat beside Erica, caging her in the middle.
Stefan clenched his jaw at Greyson; however, the latter ignored his presence.
Erica cleared her throat and clasped her hands together.
" Gentlemen, we ladies have decided to share a room. With none of you"
"NO!"
"NEVER!"
"IN YOUR DREAMS!"
The three men said in illusion. Erica turned to Stefan and raised a brow at her.
" Who was he and how dare he speak?" she thought to herself.
Stefan met her gaze and smirked at her., however, both Avery and Suzzy turned to their men.
" Tell me she's joking. You didn't agree with her, right? Never mind, even if you did, I'm still not allowing," Alex said to Avery
" Why?" Avery bellowed
" Babe, we just got married, and we are supposed to share a room."
Avery scoffed at him. "It's a week, Alexander. What could go wrong?"
His eyes darkened. He hadn't gotten what he wanted earlier, and she was calling him with his government name.
Avery's eyes widened.
" Fuck!" she cussed under her breath.
Alex groaned at her. He leaned against her ear and whispered.
" We can do that if you don't agree with Erica."
Avery pushed him away, but the evidence was written on her face. Her cheeks were pink
"It's a week, Alex. Cope with it."
" Babe, seven days. One hundred and sixty-eight hours. I don't wanna cope with it."
" I see. If you're not ready to cope with them, I suggest sleeping together again. Since you can't do it for -
"Fine, I agree. Seven days isnt that bad. I mean, i can still see you
