"I don't care if he thinks I'm hot. He's rude as hell."

I burst out laughing. "Maybe you can go on a date with him and?—"

"No," they both say at the same time.

I look at Wes in surprise. "Why did you say no?"

"I'm not letting my little sister date Tyler Kane." He shakes his head. "No way in hell. That man goes through women the way some people go through gum."

"And I'm not interested in him anyway," Erika says, rolling her eyes. "I'm just going to go back on the apps and hopefully meet someone else, someone who's not like Thunder, someone who actually understands that I am an honest and?—"

My phone starts ringing, interrupting us.

"Oh, who's that?" Wes looks at me, eyes raised.

"Oh, it's Sadie, my sister."

"Why don't you invite her over?" Erika says with a small smile. "I'd love to see her again. I only got to meet her for ten minutes that time."

I nod slowly. "I guess I can do that. I feel really bad for her. She doesn't seem to be doing so well. Her mom...well... " I make a face. "Her mom doesn't seem to want to leave my dad, and my dad is not quitting drinking, so it's just not a good time for her."

"Did you tell your mom?" Wes says, asking the question he's been asking me every day since we met my sister.

I shake my head, "Not yet. I mean, I want to tell her, of course, but her life is just finally getting on track. I don't want her to go down that road again, and I don't want her to even think about my dad, you know?"

Wes nods. "I know." He pulls me into his arms and gives me a kiss on the lips. "But I've got your back. Whenever you need me, I'm here for you, and I'm here for her."

"I know. Thank you." I kiss him and run my fingers across his shoulders.

Erika lets out a loud groan and jumps up. "I'm going to the kitchen to get something to drink. And then I'm going to sit down and watch TV because I do not want to witness my brother and my best friend making out. I mean, I love you all, and I’m glad that you found each other and finally admit how much you guys love each other because it’s been obvious to me and Miles for ages,” she giggles as she heads to the door, “but I don’t want to witness this. And if you guys are about to make love or whatever you call it, please keep the door closed and be quiet because I don’t want to hear that."

"Oh, my gosh, Erika. I'm not going to do that," I say, giggling.

"I don't know," she says, winking at me and leaving the room.

She closes the door behind her, and Wes just shakes his head. "My sister," he says. "What am I going to do with her?"

"I guess keep loving her," I say, and he nods.

"I love her, and I love you." He presses his lips against mine. I feel his hand creep up inside my shirt. "And I want to be loving you right now," he says.

"Wes, no, we can't."

"What? Just five minutes."

"Five minutes." I raise an eyebrow. "Really?"

"Ten minutes."

"Really, Wes?"

"I mean, I don't have the hour to give you that I normally would. Miles will be here soon. Tyler?—"

"Tyler? But she said not to invite him."

"Too late," he says, grinning. “He’s already been invited.”

“Oh, my gosh. You do know that war is going to break out when she sees him."
