Chapter 100 Here And Now

*James*

Well this is a first....

"I know I didn't call you first, but I also know he can't use a phone so texted Nate." Lindsay smiles brightly at me when Paul opens the door wider. She stands outside holding a tray with four coffee cups and a box of donuts and Maggie comes barreling over the second she hears her owner's voice.

"Hey!" I've never been so excited to see an ex-girlfriend before in my life. One thing about being on Home Confinement, you welcome any visitors. Me and Linds are friends anyways. 

"Wow, this place is nice!" Lindsay comes in and hands Paul a coffee. He nods a thank you and closes the door behind her. She looks good. Her long blonde hair up in a ponytail like always and in workout clothes .... like always. A hot pink long-sleeved top and black yoga pants.  I catch Paul eyeing her from behind and smirk. I can't blame him. Lindsay takes good care of her body. REAL good care of her body. 

Once she puts the tray down she bounces over and throws her arms around me. 

"Hey sweetie. How ya holding up?"

"I'm ok." I inhale her addicting floral perfume but take a step back. "Julia had to do a sleep study but she should be back soon."

"How is she?" Lindsay asks. Like Julia, she has a heart of gold. She's a bubbly, sweet woman who thinks of everyone.

"Life hasn't been easy for her. Let's just say that." I laugh when Maggie jumps up, wanting Lindsay's attention.

"Aww did you miss your mommy you spoiled brat?" I roll my eyes at our puppy and Lindsay kneels down to pet the dog. Of course, I can't help but to check out her cleavage as she spills out of her top and Paul catches me this time with a smirk and a shake of the head. I just shrug. What can I say? The girl is hot.

"I can't stay long. I'm traveling to Denver for work but wanted to pop in and say hi. I hope that's ok."

"It's ok." Paul chuckles at himself. He's loving this view, isn't he? Literally checking out her ass from behind while he sips his coffee.

"You look good, James." She says as we sit on the floor and pet our dog together. Maggie is going ballistic right now. Hyper as can be and Lindsay is loving it.

"Thanks. They have a little gym down the hall. Julia takes me and helps me." I look at the dog. "You know, you can always take Maggie when you want. I'm never alone now and...well... I'm not going anywhere for the next six months." I frown, thinking of that and Lindsay puts her hand on my cheek.

"You hang in there, ok? I know this is hard- but it's better than going to jail. I personally don't think you deserve any of this."

"Nobody does." Paul huffs from the living room.

We play with Maggie for a few minutes and tire the pup out.

"How long will you be in Denver?" I ask.

"Only three days." She looks at her phone to see the time. "Maybe I can stop by over the weekend and play with Maggie a little more? If Julia is up to it, of course." Lindsay stands up the same time I do.

"Of course. I will have someone text you."

"Ok. I've gotta catch my flight. Just wanted to say a quick Hello. Tell Julia I said hi, ok?" Lindsay hugs me and then hugs Paul. She's a hugger. He's fucking loving this, isn't he?

I see Lindsay out and turn to look at Paul.

"You lucky bastard." He grunts.

"Me?" I raise my brows. I am anything but lucky right now.
