But I don’t say any of that. “I guess maybe I expected you to have carpet. I don’t even know why.”
“Carpet is old-school.”
“Apparently.”
I turn my head to look at him, and he turns his head to look at me, and his green eyes seem to shimmer in the light of the afternoon sun streaming in through the window. I reach out and run my fingers along his jaw as he reaches for his cell phone.
“What are you doing?” I ask, letting my hand drop back to my side.
“Trying to win a contest,” he says, and I roll toward him, trying to snatch his phone away. He holds it out of my reach.
“You’re never going to win!” I shout, climbing on top of him in an attempt to reach his phone, but Oliver’s arms are so much longer than mine.
“Just cave to my musical genius already,” he says, and I put my face against his neck and laugh as he wraps his arms around me. He clicks around on his phone, and then Ed Sheeran starts to play from his tiny speakers.
“Are you trying to seduce me?” I ask him, pushing up from his chest and smiling down at him.
“Technically, I’m trying to let Ed Sheeran seduce you,” he says, and I laugh again, but this one is swallowed up as he leans up to kiss me.
