The memory brought a smile to her face. She and Bri did have some adventures during their two years of living together. They complimented each other's personality, and once they got past the initial awkwardness of Keila finding out about Michael, they'd been inseparable. In this moment, she wished it were she and Brianna sitting on the couch, fantasizing about their relationships and futures over ice cream and Lifetime movies. Bri could drive her nuts, but she missed her best friend. They did have fun together. That afternoon, long ago, was why Keila refused to get sucked into the world of the Soriano women. Living with Brianna, meeting Michael, and getting to know Jack had been the best reprieve she had ever gotten. It wasn't something she wanted to put at risk.

The look on Jack's face told her it was an all or nothing scenario for him. She needed to bide time.

"I know how much you hate secrets and lies. I promise I won't keep any from you, but I just cannot rock the boat with Mom and Grams before graduation."

"Are you worried that they'll cut you off financially? You know that isn't an issue."

"If I go in there all brazen, parading you to them, without a care or thought about them cutting me off, that will only make you and any relationship we have seem worse in their eyes. It will all be suspect."

"You really think three more months of hiding will make them feel better about there being something more than friendship between us?"

"I don't think anything will have the two of them on best behavior, but once I have my degree and turn twenty-one, any trouble they even think of conjuring up will be pointless."

Jack picked her up and placed her back to his side and faced her. Keila couldn't piece together what his look meant. It was either a look that meant he wasn't buying a thing she was selling and she was busted, or it was a look that said, okay, Kid, I can work with this and three months of sneaking around would be worth it. Fine, the last one was wildly far-fetched. She just needed him to say something, anything.

"Jack, please say something."

"I'm trying to decide if I'm going to cuddle you on my lap and forget this entire exchange or if I'm going to pull you across my knees and spank the nonsense out of you."

Keila's mouth literally dropped open. Spank her? This wasn't the way she saw the rest of their night playing out. She didn't think it was possible to make things worse, but somehow she had managed. What the actual hell? It was time to get him back on the cuddling track, and quickly.

"Keila, there will never be a justification for maintaining a lie, never. The fact that you can sit here and give me one after all this time makes me think maybe we'll never be fully compatible."

"You can't be serious. I'm asking for three months. Just until graduation, please, Jack.
