SOMETHING MORE - CHAPTER 5
Next Chapter Will Be Posted on Saturday, January 13th
I wouldn’t usually credit my mother on her interior design skills. But one thing was for sure, the black suede couch and matching rug she had placed in the first floor sitting area were far more comfortable than anything in the Pennington mansion.
“You seem twitchy,” Wren started with a sly look in her eye.
I glanced up, taking note of her obvious discontent with me. She was no longer following her all too detailed instructions while putting together the gift bags for the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception. Instead, she was eyeing me with everything she had.
“What does that even mean?”
She shrugged, “you’ve been fidgety and bouncy all day; and I know it isn’t the wine because I’ve seen you wine drunk before. You know what? I’ve seen you drunk in every sense, so I know it isn’t the alcohol.”
I barely bothered to look up at her, knowing she was watching me anytime I bounced my leg up and down anxiously, tapped my nails down on the glass table, or even when I continued to rip at the edges of the paper I’d been scribbling down notes on.
I was on edge, and even a barely mentally-present Wren Manny could catch onto that.
“I’ll be fine.” I waved a hand in her direction, picking up the glass and downing what remained of my pino.
Hayden was right, Elias had stocked the bar well the last time he and my mother visited the villa.
Wren frowned back at me, her eyebrows furrowing in her lack of amusement with my answer, “oh sure. We’ll go with that.”
THE DISTANCE THEORY - CHAPTER 7

I shook my head and tossed a sandwich in his direction. “Eli made us lunch.”
“Aw!” Lewis cooed, unwrapping the plastic wrap and diving right into the sandwich. He took what was worth at least three bites all in one before his face wrinkled up in disgust. “This sandwich sucks.” He muttered through the large amount of bread he had shoved into his mouth.
“That’s why I got these.” Pushing the bag of chips from one side of the table to the other elicited an instant sigh of relief from Lewis.
“This is why we’re best friends,” Lewis said. He passed me his bottle of soda to hold onto while he ate what was left of the barbecue chips I had picked up from the dining hall.
I was still starving but I knew that our boss had some special surprise or announcement planned later on today, which usually meant there would be food.
“Where is the man who sucks at making sandwiches?” Lewis asked, popping another chip into his mouth. He brushed his hands together to wipe the crumbs of the chips from his hands.
“I think he’s working in the music school or something,” I shrugged as I took a drink of the soda. “If I’m being honest I really don’t know what he does here every day.”
“He’ll be our resident bad boy. The one no one talks about or knows that well,” Lewis’ eyes glazed over as he played out his many movie fantasies. “That means I’m the boy next door, right? I can get the girl too?”
“You like some girl next door?”
“I don’t even know our neighbours, Bree!” Lewis snapped back at me. “I’m just trying to figure out the logistics of me ending up with some nice, wholesum LA girl who just so happens to live within a very close proximity to us.”
“I don’t even have to know who lives next door to know the odds are not in your favor.”
