Charlie

Jett steps into the living room to tell the boys good night while I stay in the kitchen with Whit.

“Thanks again for letting Sam sleep over. Next time, I’ll have them at my place. Then you can have a night off,” I tell her.

“It’s not a big deal. It’s not like I have someone to go out with or who just wants me all to themselves.” Her eyes flash to where her brother is now lying on the floor between the boys.

I like that Sam likes Jett. Shoot, I thought I was going to break into a crying fit when Sam got another piece of pizza after Jett explained why he needed more. Having Jett around might not be such a bad thing.

I’d spent most of the day after our date obsessing over how often I should bring Jett around Sam. I don’t want Sam to get attached. Not like I have. I look forward to seeing Jett way more than I think I should. I know the risks of emotion, but Sam, I’m not sure he could handle it.

“You ready?” Jett asks, coming into the kitchen before I pry Whit for more information. Like, why didn’t he come around much before? What changes did he need to make?

“Yeah. Thanks again.” I hug Whit and head across the hall. Jett is right behind me, his hand on my lower back. I know I should tell him more about my life, but him not knowing is like I get to pretend some of it never happened for a little longer. I’ll tell him everything eventually, just not yet.

“Did you have a good night?” he asks.

“Yes,” I say. I want to tell him that tonight was the first night I’ve talked about Kenzie to anyone who wasn’t Sam, and how for once, I forgot how Sam and I are alone in the life we live. Because tonight showed me that we aren’t anymore. So, a simple yes is an understatement of how good my night has been.

“Did you?” I ask.

“I’m quickly learning that any night I spend with you, I’m more than just good, Charlie.”

I can feel my cheeks heat at his words and I hate how he can still make me blush like this.

I step inside and turn back when I can’t feel Jett’s hand on me anymore. He’s looking over the railing.

“Is something wrong?” I ask.

His head snaps to look at me like he’d forgotten I am here. He grins, follows me inside, and laces his hand with mine, spinning me into his arms as the door shuts behind him. The same hand that holds our fingers wraps behind my back while the other touches my cheek.

“I hope you know that if you ever want to talk to about your family, I’ll always be here to listen.”

I swallow back the tears.

“Thank you, but I’m not sure you could handle the hot mess I become when I talk about it or my life.”

“We won’t know till you try, will we?” he says.
