ANGIE
There’s a happiness floating through me that I haven’t felt before. When I left for school this summer, I was sad. As much as I love school, I was ready to get my future started.
Now? I couldn’t wait to get back from break. To get back to Troy. With a week before school starts, and him having optional hockey practice, I want to soak up every free minute we can have together.
Lying in bed together is heaven. With Harper still gone, the apartment is quiet. Until a loud rumble erupts from me.
“Oh my God,” I say at the same time Troy says, “What was that?”
I cover my face with my hands.
“Was that your stomach?” Troy peels one hand off my face, a joyful smile greeting me.
“I said you needed to feed me!” The rumble sounds again, only this time louder.
“C’mon.” Troy pops up and it takes me a minute tofocus on what he’s doing. It’s unfair that he is that sexy naked.
Hard, muscular planes. Toned ass. Biceps that I can easily make a pillow of.
Troy cuts off my perusal by tossing his T-shirt at my head.
“I thought you were hungry?”
“Can’t I admire the sights for a minute?”
He fishes out his boxers and steps into them. “You can admire later. I don’t need you passing out on me before round two.”
“Ugh. Fine.” I pull his T-shirt over my head and follow him out into the kitchen.
“Do you have anything to eat?”
I duck under him and open the freezer. “One bag of pizza rolls and a carton of strawberry ice cream.”
“There’s some chips and chocolate in here.” Troy takes the bags out of the cabinet next to the fridge. “I guess this is going to have to tide us over.”
“I don’t think any of this meets your dietary requirements for the team.” I step over to the oven to preheat it for the pizza rolls and grab two spoons for the ice cream.
Troy shrugs a shoulder. “I had a good workout today. It should be okay.”
Digging in to the ice cream, I take a mouthful. I sit on the island, watching as Troy spreads everything out and gets the pizza rolls ready for cooking. “I might be able to give you another workout tonight if you really need it.”
Troy steps between my legs, grabbing the spoon and finishing my bite. “You don’t have to ask me twice.”
“Hey! Only if I am properly fed.”
“Is this what life with you is going to be like?” Troy pops everything into the oven and grabs the chips to start eating. “Constantly making sure you’re fed?”
What life with you is going to be like.
I know the meaning behind his words. He’s planning a future. Just like I want to be.
Buthow?
I keep coming back to that thought. If I want this thing between the two of us to continue, I’m going to have to figure out a way to tell my dads.
Troy drops a kiss on my cheek and plates everything up before heading back to my room. “I’ll order Thai just in case.”
“My hero.” I bat my eyelashes at him before grabbing two water bottles and trailing after him.
