“Do you need any more help?” I stepped
out of Kyler’s grasp and glanced around the kitchen. It looked like chaos…but
organized chaos.
“Nope. Everything is settled in here.”
She hooked her arm through mine and led me out of the kitchen. Noah and Eli
were sitting on the couch when we entered the living room. She nudged my arm,
gave me a wink and turned to the guys. “Eli, would you mind running with Haley
to get the pizzas?”
“I can get them myself.” Eli stood and
headed for the door. I stared after him, hurt that he didn’t even want to be
alone with me. Was he still just trying to give me space? Or did he finally
realize that I was more trouble than he wanted?
“Well, I know you could. But I need
Haley to stop at the store…I forgot something.” Kyler nudged my arm again,
tilting her head slightly in the direction of the door.
I’m fluent in Kyler non-verbal
gestures, and clearly, she was telling me to get out that front door. But my
feet paused at the look Eli flashed Kyler. His eyes shone uncertainly. His gaze
flicked to me quickly, but I caught the softness in them before they darted
back to Kyler.
“What is it? I can pick that up too.”
He plucked his keys from the table and propped himself up against the
doorframe, waiting for Kyler to finish.
“Oh, well…I um forgot… I um…need some
tampons.” She blurted out. I swear every single face in the room turned red.
Noah looked Kyler up and down before
opening his mouth. “But I thought…” Kyler held up a hand to stop him and gave
him a short glare before turning back to Eli.
“So did you want to pick those up? I’d
have to write it down. Haley knows what kind I use, so it’d be easy for her to
just grab them. But if you want to go at it alone—”
Eli interrupted her. “No, that’s okay.
I could use Haley’s help.” He rushed out the door before Kyler could continue
on about her feminine needs.
“Didn’t you just have your
period?” My question hit Kyler’s smirk. I didn’t even need her to reply since I
knew the answer. We were roommates after all.
Kyler winked at me again, before she
pushed me toward the door. “You’re welcome!” I heard her say as I exited the
house.
