"I'm sleepy" I say to Jeter on the phone and he smirks. 

"Go to bed" 

"But I want to keep seeing your face" 

"You will see my face tomorrow, You can go to bed, you know" He says, Looking sexy in his reading glasses. 

"I wish I was there" I say. 

"I wish you were here too" 

"Aren't you gonna ask?" 

"You can tell me when you feel comfortable enough to" He says, Tilting his head as he nods at me. 

"You are too good to me" I say and he laughs, I watch him in silence. 

"You have no Idea how grateful I am to you Star, None at all" He says and I nod, Feeling my eyes going droopy. 

"Love you baby, You can go to bed" He says and I nod. 

"Love you too" I wisper before disconnecting and drifting into dream land.

When I wake up the next morning I feel strangely refreshed, I grab my running shoes since I won't be having a shift till 2 In the afternoon. 

I decide to go for a run. 

"Good morning Ma!" I say to my mum who's sitting at the kitchen table as I run past her. 

It's safe to say I'm running and hiding from my family, I know they are going to try and quiz me on my emotions and how I feel. 

Right now, I'm still riding the high from Jeter's confession of his love to me, I dont need anything diminishing it. 

I run past the local diner and I wave at a kid I operated on early last year, I see familiar faces and I wave, my face in a smile. 

"What's got you all happy this morning?" Mila asks as she begins to jog in stride with me. 

"Run, no talking" She slaps my butt as she runs past. 

"Race you to the old mill and back" She says before taking off. 

"Hey! No fair!" I shout before running after her. 

We jog back and forth before deciding to end it on the fourth lap. 

Our street isn't that long so we walk as we go back. 

"Is it just me or is that car following us?" Mila asks and I turn to watch the red SUV following us. 

"If it's following anybody it's you, I'm sure it's one of the thousand guys you've broken their hearts" I say and she flips me the bird. 

I poke my tongue out at her. 

We walk past Mila's house and her dad is outside, mowing the lawn. 

"Hey Mr Harriet, looking good as always" 

"Still a smooth talker as always, Uh? Star?" He says and a blow him a kiss, he catches it comically, and I laugh. 

"Is that you star, trying to steal my husband?" Mrs Harriet asks and I laugh, just noticing her behind the big potted flower she's trimming. 

"Wow, Mrs Harriet, that's the biggest flower I've seen in my life" I say, stopping, Mrs Harriet loves  gardening, she's won the towns Golden hands 3 years in a row. 

"Thank you darling, it's growing under my love and care" she says and I nod, giving her a thumbs up. 

"Let's get out of here before she regales you stories about all of her potted plants" Mila says pulling me and I follow, everyone knows about Mrs Harriet's stories, and everyone loves them. 

"Milan Venus Harriet, you get back here early, you hear me?" Mrs Harriet shouts. 

"Yes Ma" She shouts back before taking off, we all know she's not going to go back early. 

When Mr and Mrs Harriet decided to get a house near us when we moved from our former town I was over joyed, We had to move because it was too much for me staying at a place where I could see Ezra Kane everywhere, my parents uped and moved us, Mr and Mrs Harriet just happened to be looking to move too, I don't know what I would have done if I didn't have my best friend living close to me. 

This brings my thoughts back to Ezra, I haven't told Mila about yesterday and I know she's gonna kill me when she finds out I've been hiding things from her. 

I lift my shirt from my body at how hot it is outside this morning. 

"Waow" Mila's soft exclamation brings me back to reality. 

I follow her gaze to see my well muscled, well toned and well tanned brother shirtless on our lawn, watering the grass. 

Alongside him is.... Jeter? 

He's as shirtless as my brother, and wet, very wet. 

I swallow the spit which has pooled in my mouth as walk past our white picket fence and approach. 

"What are you doing here?" 

I ask and he turns, he smiles when he sees me, his dimples popping out. 

Swoon. 

"I came to get you for breakfast but..." He says, pointing at his wet chest, my eyes follows a drop of water as it trails down his pec and into his...

. Sweet Mother Mary. 

I want to be that drop of water. 

I take a step forward, my hand going to his chest, I don't know the nature of the conversation he and Liang had but they seem cool with each other. 

"How did you get roped into watering the grass in my father's compound?" I ask. 

"It's the least I could do for my future father in law, I came to get his daughter who wasn't in, I couldn't have left without helping my brother in law with chores" He says and my eyes go to the window to see my parents standing there, my father looks suspicious, my mother just looks plain happy. 

"What happened to us meeting at the hospital?" 

"I can't stay away from you Star" He says quietly and I blink, I do it again. 

I love this man. 

The thought that my parents don't want to see their only daughter mauling a man is what is stopping me from jumping him and peppering his face with kisses. 

I turn sharply when Mila squeals, she's wedged between Liang and a wall. 

How she got there is beyond my understanding, talk about been stuck between a hard place and a wall. 

"Apologize" Liang is saying and my friend has the look in her eyes that says hell no. 

"Mila..." Liang says before raising the garden hose. 

I turn to Jeter, Trying to get us to safety. 

"Run" I say but he doesn't budge. 

"Jet....." I start but I didn't finish before Liang let's out a stream of water at my bestie. 

"Liang!" I scream, Mila hated cold water more than anything in this earth. 

"Liang, Stop!" She shouts but my hard headed brother does not budge. 

I vaguely notice my parents step away from the window, wise people, it's bad to be stuck between mila and Liang when they are fighting. 

"Apologize, Mila" 

"Fuck you asshole!"

"Thought you would never offer" He says and my mouth drops open, are they? Are they flirting? Nooo, it couldn't be. 

Before I can wrap my head around whatever is happening Jeter grabs and hold me before shouting. 

"Liang? Fire!!" 

"Nooooo" I squeal when my brother let's out a stream of water on me. 

"You!" I shout, turning around to wrap myself around Jeter. 

"Make it stop" I squeal around laughter but Liang continues, Mila grabs her own hose and soon it became a fight amongst boys and girls. 

"Children, act like the grown ups you are!" My mum shouts at us, dropping fresh towels on the lawn chair. 

We pay her no mind as we try to dominate the world in a water battle. 

I feel water in my ear and I'm laughing so hard, the steam of water suddenly stops and I laugh, trying to catch my breath, I turn around when a grunt comes from behind me. 

Liang is pummelling someone and Jeter is trying to get him off the person,they are rolling around on the lawn and it's scary. 

"Liang!" I scream, afraid for whoever it is, Liang does not respond to my scream, he doesn't stop. 

"Liang" Mila says, fear in her voice, my brother freezes before standing up and dragging his victim with him. 

"You fucking dare to show up in my house?" He growls at the person. 

Sitting on the curb Is a red SUV and standing before my brother is Ezra Kane. 

"Hey baby" He says, his eyes on me, I take in the blood dripping from his lips and I feel the tears fall from my eyes. 

"Liang" I say, quietly.
