“Stop playing, girl. You know I like it when you do that.”

Smiling, I was just getting to the good part of my dream when my eyes drifted open for some reason.

I jumped and screamed like a bitch at the sight of Houston standing over me with no expression whatsoever.

“What the hell are you doing?” I shouted at him. I’d even startled Rich awake. Weirded the hell out, I clutched the covers to my chest. I couldn’t tell if Houston had been about to stab me or rape me. Rich creeped us both out plenty whenever he had trouble sleeping. Thankfully, it’s been a while since he had an episode.

I’d been a sphincter’s hair from having a wet dream, and strangely, I was okay with that—as long as Braxton was playing a starring role.

“You were talking in your sleep,” Houston announced.

“So you decided to stand over me like you’re Michael fucking Myers?”

“Fuck you. I was coming to wake you up.” Looking like he could barely restrain himself, he took a deep breath and exhaled. “Braxton’s gone.”

Glancing out the window with the curtains drawn since we were so high up, I saw that the sun wasn’t even up yet.

Sucking my teeth, I rolled onto my stomach. Braxton was like a frat boy, keeping late hours and sleeping until noon. No way she was awake yet. I don’t care how mad she was.

It’s too early for this shit.

“She’s sleeping. I’m sleeping. Now leave us both the hell alone,” I mumbled with a face full of pillow.

“Check your phone.” It was all he said before he left the room.

Ignoring him, I concentrated on picking up where my dream had left off. A moment later, I rolled my eyes when I heard Rich grabbing his phone from the nightstand. I was starting to drift off again when I heard his sheets rustling as he got out of bed.

If she’s really gone, I’m going to wring her neck.

“Get up,” Jericho ordered, confirming my worst fears. “Houston wasn’t fucking kidding. Check your texts.”

Heart pounding, I frantically searched the sheets. The last time I recalled having it was before I fell asleep texting her. Not a single message had been delivered since she’d blocked my number. It only gave me the courage to pour my heart out and let loose my anger since I knew she’d never see them.

By the time I found my goddamn phone, Rich had already thrown on a white T-shirt and sneakers since he’d worn basketball shorts to bed. When I finally saw the texts, my reaction was different than Houston and Rich’s.

I smiled.

I loved the balls on this kid.

She wasn’t predictable or needy like Houston and Rich preferred in that order. She made us play the games we liked her way.

Sitting on the edge of my bed, I shook my head at the responses Houston and Rich had sent, telling her to bring her ass back. Underneath my excitement, I admit I was pissed too. It wasn’t even five in the morning yet, and she was out there in a strange city alone and in the dark.
