Chapter Twenty-One

Tabitha

“So, you like my brother?”

“Wait, what?” My eyes go wide at Kylie’s question. I’ve spent the last thirty minutes watching Kent and pondering his comment about talking. Does he regret kissing me? Do I regret kissing him? What were we thinking? What the hell am I doing here? How did my life suddenly get even more complicated in less than two weeks?

Kylie gives me a knowing look. “I wasn’t born yesterday.”

I bite my lip. “I mean…we just met. He’s really nice and…”

“Come on, you don’t have to worry about me telling him. I’m like Fort Knox.”

I glance over at Kent on the pitcher’s mound. Shit, I didn’t even know that’s what it was called until last week. He’s slowly changing my life, seeping into it like water filling in the crevices between rocks.

I turn back to Kylie who isn’t watching the game at all but instead is focused on me.

“Yeah, I guess I do like him.”

She grins. “Good because he really, really likes you.”

I laugh. Why does this feel like middle school?

“You think?”

She nods. “I can tell. I’ve been following that fucker around my whole life. He doesn’t know it, but I know him better than any of the others. Hell, I know him better than he knows himself.” She pauses, considering her next words. “I won’t admit it if you ever say anything, but…I look up to him, always have.”

I smile at her sincerity. “Your secret is safe with me. I just wasn’t looking for a relationship right now. I sort of had a bad one recently and was taking some time to self-reflect, I guess.”

“Oh. Well, Kent’s a really good guy, like seriously the best.”

“I can tell. He’s so…real. I didn’t expect that when I met him.”

Kylie shrugs. “Trust me, Di and Lanie beat him into submission. He never had a chance to be anything but a good guy.”

I giggle. “I hear sisters can be wicked.”

“True story. But big brothers can also be total pricks.”

“Now, that I can cheers to,” I say, raising my cup of beer.

Kylie laughs. “What’s your brother like?”

“Brix? He’s great. He’s laid-back and super smart. He’s a doctor and treats children in third world countries. He’s almost always traveling. I miss him. We are pretty tight, but we still talk quite a bit.”

“Does he like baseball?”

I shrug. “I think so. We don’t really talk sports.”

Suddenly the crowd cheers and our attention turns back to the game, where Kent has just struck out a player.

“Well, just don’t discount him because he’s a jock,” Kylie adds quietly once the crowd stops cheering. I look over at her.

“Why would I do that?”

Kylie shrugs. “Just guessing that he’s not your typical type.”

I don’t know Kylie that well yet, but I think her observation abilities are way under-credited.

“He’s not, but…there’s something about him. Honestly, even if we never date, I’d still want to be friends with him. He’s good peeps.”

Kylie smiles. “He is. The best.”

I laugh. “Come on, he has to have at least one fault.”

She shrugs. “He stinks to high heaven after he works out.
