Chapter 21. Exclusive

Louise's POV

He was taking his morning run then hitting the waves, while I was leisurely working from the beachfront patio. I had been working from his laptop, emailing Cherise back and forth and scheduling conference calls for the rest of the day. Mom had been calling since I canceled the last dinner, she was worried but then relaxed when I told her that I was with Allen.

Yesterday he said that he loves me, I've heard it before when Adam said the word years ago. But somehow Allen said it in more depth, I would rewind my memory to the time he said it. It tickled my insides and made my heart beats just a little bit faster.

Yesterday I also agreed to be exclusive with him. Upgrading our many one nights stands encounter, to friends with benefits status. And we didn't discuss anything further regarding his love statement, cause honestly, it made me nervous.

And he was still watching my eating behavior like a hawk, while I let him be.
