Valentine watched with a small smile he tried and failed to cover as Lottie’s attention went back to the phone the second his message arrived. Much to the boy’s distaste. He failed again to bite back a chuckle, shaking his head.
Whatever the submissive said to the stranger by her side it seemed to have the boy out and off to the bar. A drink, the Commander guessed something on his tab surely. He lowered his gaze towards the table when Charlotte looked around, figuring the cap and his table would keep him mostly out of the spotlight.
His phone buzzed. And it was his turn to smile reading her message.
[sms 22: 46] Just making sure you’re on your best behavior.
He typed, then deleted.
[sms 22: 47] Coincidence.
[sms 22:47] And what is that exactly?
Hitting send Valentine eased back in his chair, curious to see her reaction.
Her phone was still in her hand when the first text came through and she gave a small laugh and shook her head. Lucas arrived back just as the next text came in but she had long enough to read it before her drink was put down. By this stage she had no doubt the Commander was in the bar, he knew too much, and Lottie decided to make him wait, playing a little.
She took a drink and leaned over to speak in Lucas’s ear. Her hand brushed over his back as she spoke about her drink telling him how perfect it was and how kind he had been to bring it. When he turned and smiled at her she showed him her sweetest smile and asked if he would mind getting her a straw. Only when he left did she type a quick message.
[sms 22:55] A fun time.
Lottie's wild adventure
