I sood thing that I’ but lay there”

His eyes ide “I could make you enjoy it”

I had no doubt that he could “I’d also give you strep throat, and then you wouldn’t be able to play in the next playoff game”

He frowned “I thought they said you had to be on the antibiotics for twenty-four hours It’s been eighteen I can wait until tomorrow”

I laughed, which then turned into a coughing fit

When I finally got a hold of lass of water in front of my face

“I’ll call your doctor tomorrow and have her send some birth control pills over,” he said

I shivered “That sounds like a good idea”

Rhys winked at me, then turned to survey the kitchen “Noe can have pizza, or I can make you soup out of a can…then order pizza for myself”

I snorted

“Pizza But s that they have, they sound really good” I smiled down at the counter

But, before I could study the detail in the , I felt Rhys’ hand onit up to look at me

“Tell me about your brother Why hasn’t he co”

My smile died “It’s not uess since he was the one to bring the two of them up, he expected me to tell you” She moaned and moved her hips in the chair “Tyler used to date a wo Tyler and Tyler’s best friend, Rome—real name Romero, at the same time The woman, Tara, chose Romero and not Tyler He’s not been back since they broke up”

Rhys sighed “That sucks big balls”

I snorted “So eloquent you are”

He shrugged “I’ht be a little nicer to him I don’t knohat I would do if I lost you…but I know da her happy would be just oneto endure unless I absolutely had to”

I felt , other things started to flutter, too

“That eet, Rhys”

He winked at me “Now, are you sure on the pizza?”

The one, but the words weren’t able to be unsaid
