Chapter 899 - Best-friend act (1/2)
~ Chicago, Ellie's villa ~
Tom headed to the kitchen for breakfast, as usually. House staff makes sure that there is fresh bread and sandwich materials in the fridge, and he makes his own coffee.
He was surprised to see that the maids are busying themselves in making an elaborate breakfast setup in the dining room.
”Is there a special occasion?”, Tom asked one maid while gesturing to the buffet-style table where variety of fresh pastries are being arranged by two other maids before being covered with a glass bell to preserve freshness. Ellie's favorites breakfast items are there as well.
”Miss Young is home.”, the maid responded with a big smile and went back to the kitchen to fetch more serving plates.
Tom's eyebrows shoot up and a smile bloomed on his face. 'Ellie is here! My Queen!'
Ah, since he came to Chicago she is spending her days in the design studio and nights with that boy-fri-end of hers. And she is here now!
Tom dashed upstairs and banged with his fist on one door few times before barging inside.
He tugged a foot which was sticking out from under the cover.
”Whaaaat?”, angry half-sleepy grumble was heard from the other side of the bed.
”Wake up! Ellie is here!”
”What?”, Brian bolted into a sitting position.
”You heard me. Queen is here. Now get up.”
Brian was doubtful. ”Are you sure she is here? It's Saturday. If she is with Jasper on weekdays, why would she come back on a weekend?”
Tom shrugged. ”I don't know. Maybe she is tired of him and wants to spend some time with her two favorite guys.”
”Hmph… favorite? Dream on!”, Brian threw a pillow at Tom. He rubbed his eyes for a second and got up. ”I need few minutes to freshen up.”
Tom understood. It's a signal for him to leave.
Tom was excited. He dashed down the hallway and knocked lightly on another door. After no answer, he knocked few more times with more force. A second later he opened the door and got inside. Tom froze at the sight of Ellie and Jasper making out in the bed. She is sitting on his lap with her legs around him… The view of their midsection is obstructed by the cover, but he can definitely see that neither of them has anything on top. And he could see Ellie's breasts if only she is not so tightly pressed against Jasper.
”What the…?” Ellie swiftly pulled the cover up to her neck when she saw him. ”Tom! Don't you know how to knock?” Ellie remembered that she heard some faint knocking a while ago, so she corrected herself. ”Before entering someone's bedroom you should wait for a response!”
She wondered, how long is Tom standing there and watching them?
Tom wanted to dig a hole in the ground so that he can hide… disappear… completely. He thought that his Queen might be still sleeping or maybe in the shower or deep in thoughts about her latest design-creation or… anything other than holding onto THAT guy!
”TOM!?”, Ellie's shout pulled him out of his daze.
”I'm sorry… I… I'm sorry…”, Tom backed out clumsily and closed the door behind him.
Ellie sighed and closed her eyes.
”Does he always barge into your bedroom like that?”
Ellie looked at Jasper and saw him frowning.
How is she supposed to explain that they are living here like in a college dorm? Jasper will probably not like that everyone gets in and out without much care. She is their boss, but they are all friends. Next time, she will remember to lock the door.
”Well… usually it's just me, fully covered up in my pajamas.”
Jasper wanted to ask more but decided not to. He trusts that Ellie has no interest in Tom, however from Tom's side…”You should not be that lax. He is interested in you.”
