I thought I could predict his next words, so I cut him off "And they are the worst three hours of your day?"

"No."

"And they are the worst three hours of your life?" I tried again.

"No." He grated out, a little more aggressive than the first.

Tapping my chin, I concluded, "And you need more than three more hours to fully torment me."

Silence filled the space between us before he let out another quiet "No."

I sat back against the back of the compartment of the truck and sighed "I give up. I have no idea why you want to go to the beach tomorrow."

He shook his head at me while I grabbed my bag of gummy bears and started to open them.

His seriousness faded as I grinned at the little jelly bears. His usually permanent scowl had faded as he watched me smile as I ate my candy.

"So good." I exaggerated a moan as I remembered how much he hated me making a noise.

His question came in the form of a strangled groan "Do you moan at all foods?"

I sucked the whole candy into my mouth as I replied "Yep."

"Fucking great." He muttered under his breath.

My gaze wandered to the proximity of us. In the small confined space, I was pressed up against him due to his broad shoulders.

My body overlapped his as my whole right side was leaning against his. This had caused one side of my body to be extremely hot. It was a complete contrast to the lonely jealous side of my body that was not touching him.

Stone interrupted my thoughts by leaning closer and whispering deeply in my ear "Are you not crying yet?"

I turned my head so that our noses were inches apart. He did not retreat back as I narrowed my eyes at him. In fact, the closeness meant that I saw his smirk up close.

"For the last time, I have never cried at The Notebook!" I bit out, nearing him even further.

Lana giggled from in front of us "It is okay to admit that it is a sad movie and you got upset. Everyone knows that you are a softie, Ella."

I crossed my arms as I pulled away from Stone and leant back against the metal "I am not!"

The enormous man who seemed to have moved closer and taken up more of the space teased "Sure you are not, Medusa."

"Okay, I admit it. The love story is epic, and I cried at the ending, but it was only a single tear. I wasn't as bad as Lana" I argued, "I thought a full exorcist was taking place right next to me."

"I was not that loud!" She argued.

"Tell that to the next-door neighbour that thought their dead relative was reaching out to them."
