told me, but what about Zeke? You guys have been seeing each other a lot.”
“We are just friends, and most of the time Hunter is with us. Zeke is fun to hang around with, and he helps keep my mind off Mason.”
“So, I guess you’re excited Mason is coming?”
“Hell yeah, I can’t wait to see his sexy ass.” I cringed and she started laughing.
Groaning, I said, “Ok, here’s the deal, if you’re talking to me about my brother, I only want the PG version. I don’t want nightmares.”
She got serious. “So you are seriously ok with me and Mason? He seems to think you’re going to have a problem with it.”
“He may think I have issues, but I don’t. I love you, Hailey. I know you’ll take care of him and that’s all I can ask.”
“I love you, Kenzie.” She hugged me again. “How are things with Dominic?”
“Surprisingly, we haven’t had any drama lately, and things are good. He’s a little worried about me spending time with Hunter when he’s not around.”
“Well that’s good.” She looked down at her lap again and then back up at me. “Hunter misses you like crazy. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him like this, not even after last summer.”
I sighed. “I miss him too, but to keep Dominic happy, and my heart intact, I can’t hang around him like I did anymore. He made it perfectly clear there could never be a him and me. Time will tell if Dominic and I will last, but for now, I want to be with him. He stood up to my brothers when he wanted to date me. Hunter would never do that.”
“I get it, I do. I just wish he would pull his head out of his ass and figure his shit out. He looks like someone kicked his puppy.”
“He’ll figure it out. He’ll meet someone who will take over the feelings that he has for me.”
Hailey fell back on her pillow and said. “I hope it’s soon. He is such a downer. I thought I was bad. He’s got it way worse than I do.”
My phone pinged. Cooper texted me that they just got to Hunter’s. They were going to swing by and pick us up.
Hailey and I got ready to spend the night with my brothers and Hunter. I made sure she looked extra hot for Mason. We straightened her long blonde hair and did her eye makeup dark to bring out her eyes. She dressed in a pair of black shorts that were tight and short, along with a hot pink halter top that made her boobs look great.
After we got her dressed, she helped me straighten my hair. I picked out something a little less sexy, but still super cute—a short spaghetti strap sundress and a pair of peep toe wedges. It was the end of October but, thankfully, it was still warm enough to wear my summer clothes.
I stopped by Dominic’s room before I headed out for dinner. He told me to have fun, and that he would see me at the party at Hunter’s later on tonight. I stood on my tiptoes, gave him a kiss, and told him I loved him.
As soon as we walked out of the doors to our dorm, Hunter’s head shot up, he nudged Mason and lifted his chin in our direction.
“Damn, he’s hot,” I heard Hailey say to herself. I laughed.
“What?” She asked, with a smirk on her face.
“Not a thing. Now go get your lover boy.”
“Don’t have to tell me twice.” She took off running to Mason and leaped on him. He caught her and swung her around.
Cooper and Hunter both looked at me. I assumed they were waiting for me to have some kind of reaction. What was the big deal? They are adults. He is my brother and she is my best friend. Even if things didn’t work out for them, I would still have them both in my life. Yeah, it may get weird but it is what it is.
Cooper wrapped me up in his arms. I gave him a kiss on his cheek and giggled.
Hunter waited. I gave him a hug too. He wrapped me up tight, as if I was going to disappear. He took a deep breath, like he had been holding it forever. “I’m sorry.”
I pulled my face back, and looked into his bright blue eyes, the same eyes I dreamed about every night, even if he was the wrong person to dream about. I
