Lance looked satisfied as he saw the ink brushing on the contract.
Madeline finished signing everything. She put the pen and the document on the coffee table and said, "Okay, I’m done with everything. I am now your contractual girlfriend, Lance."
Lance raised his brow, "Very bold of you to address me with my first name. I like it."
"We’re lovers now. Of course, you can call me Maddy, too," Madeline said.
"Should I call you babe instead?" Lance suggested.
He thought Madeline would go along with his suggestion, but her cheeks actually began to redden, and she shook her head and said, "T—That’s too much for now. I’m not used to it."
"Not used to it? I thought you addressed your ex-boyfriend with that."
"W—We address each other by names," Madeline lied.
’Cute,’ Lance thought. ’She’s cuter than I thought.’
"I expect you to call me babe in front of my family, got it?"
"O—Okay," Madeline said. She imagined calling someone babe, and her body felt hot.
Even with her first love, Jonathan Hale, she never called him that. She simply called him Jon.
