CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE
Drew is on the couch in his boxers, hands wrapped around a PlayStation controller, messy hair falling in every direction.
"You want eggs for breakfast?" he asks without looking up from the TV.
"Cereal is fine." I descend the stairs and take a better look at his game. It's colorful and bright. Not one of those gritty shooters where you take out wave after wave of zombies.
I stare at him for a minute, trying to figure out what I want to say about last night, what I even think about last night.
The words never stream together, but it sure is nice looking at Drew. The muscles in his shoulders tense and soften. His biceps too. The forearms. He's pressing his fingers into that controller with so much attention and care.
Dammit, I need to get ahold of myself. I pour a bowl of cereal, fix a cup of tea, and take a seat at the table.
Drew pauses his game. He pats the spot on the couch next to him. "What do you think you're doing so far away, Kendrick?"
I scoop cereal into my mouth. "Eating breakfast." No way any words are going to stream together if my body is pressed against Drew's. I'll be lucky if I can manage anything more complicated than don't stop.
"You eating dry cereal again?"
"I like it this way."
"Eat it over here." He turns back and makes eye contact. "I won't bite." His eyes light up. "Unless you're into that."
Yes. Please. All. Freaking. Day.
I chew my cereal and swallow hard. I need control of my senses.
I like him too much.
Drew rises from the couch. The light streaming from the window falls over him just so.
It's wrong how sculpted his body is. The way his tattoos curve over his muscles like they're highlighting every delicious line. Right now, he's not my best friend. He's pure rock star perfection. A wet dream come to life.
And he wants me next to him.
"I fixed your phone screen. Took a few pictures to test it." Drew motions to my cell phone on the kitchen table.
I play it cool. "I should check for myself."
"Do."
Sure enough, the screen is replaced. It's easy to forget that Drew is a computer geek at heart. I look up at him. "Do you keep replacement screens in your room?"
"About a dozen. A lot of broken iPhones on tour. It comes in handy."
"So they're going with you in April?"
"This really what you want to talk about?"
I shake my head as I navigate to my photos. Sure enough, there are half a dozen pictures of Drew. None are naked, tragically, but they come close. From his lips all the way to the driving-me-out-of-my-damn-mind trail. Okay. That really doesn't have a good ring to it.
He's fucking yummy. And he's right here. In front of me. Dammit, I'm only human. I can only tell that flutter between my legs to shut up so many times before it takes over.
I join him on the couch. He pulls me onto his lap, spreading my legs so they're hanging outside his.
