Estrella chuckled, her voice a playful tease in the quiet room. “I’ve already taken my shower, why would I need to butter you up? Go on, get cleaned up.”

She nudged Jason toward the bathroom. With a boyish grin, Jason cupped Estrella’s face in his hands and planted a quick kiss on her lips. “Honey, just wait for me, okay? I’ll be quick, don’t you worry.” With that, he turned on his heel, grabbed some clothes from the wardrobe, and whistled a tune as he made his way to the bathroom.

Estrella stood in the bedroom, arms crossed, a bemused smile playing on her lips as she watched his swaggering exit.

What a character! An entire evening of antics, all for what? Just to end up in bed with her.
