Chapter 5
"So, are you going to call her?" CM smirked as they prepared to leave for the day.
"Not today," Gina sighed. "Maybe never."
"Oh come on, she's reaching out," CM pointed out. "You could use some more friends."
Gina rolled her eyes, "I don't. I am going home and getting some sleep. Bye."
"What do you think, Ben?" CM questioned. "Will Gina call Elliot?"
Ben chuckled, "Only time will tell. Do you enjoy egging Gina on that much?"
CM shrugged, "It's amusing. Anyways, see you same time tomorrow."

"Elliot, stop checking your phone all the time," Topher huffed as they sat down to have dinner.
"I'm expecting a call," Elliot sighed. "Doesn't look like it'll happen today or ever."
Topher rolled his eyes, "Terrance is gone unless you're expecting a call from heaven, maybe hell, then that will be a long wait."
Elliot huffed, "For your information, I met someone. She was kind enough to have a meal with me and I think maybe Terrance sent her to me. He knows I can't be left alone to my own devices. Remember when you two did a brother weekend and I was left at home with Reese?"
Topher chuckled, "I remember. You sulked so hard that you didn't bother going to work. Your whole staff thought you died or something."
"I like having my significant other within reach," Elliot pouted. "The bed feels so empty without him."
"So you found a replacement?" Topher teased.
"No, that's not it," Elliot blushed. "I like her company. It's nice talking to someone who isn't five years old and can comprehend big words."
Topher smirked, "She'll call but not tonight. Now eat your dinner. You're starting to set a bad example for the kids."
Elliot huffed and dug into the food that Topher made. It was good but it wasn't like Terrance's cooking.
