Don’t lose your mind in the meantime

“Okay,” Nia says, walking through my front door as I pace my living room. “What the hell is going on?”

I just blurt it out. “Cameron almost kissed me last night.”

My sister stops in her tracks and gapes at me.“What?!”

I groan and flop onto my sofa, palms pressed over my eyes. “He almost kissed me, Nia.”

I should have expected that she’d be more excited than anything else. “Details, Z!” She sits down next to me.

I sigh. “Team dinner was last night, and I hung out after. We kind of went for a late-night swim in our underwear, and things might have gotten a little charged between us.”

“Meaning?”

I would love to wipe that stupid grin off her face.

“We always ask each otherwould you ratherquestions, and they were far from innocent last night.”

“Ooh, do tell.”

I roll my eyes at her. “I’m not getting into bedroom activities with my damn sister.”

“You’re no fun,” she scoffs.

“The point is,” I say, redirecting the conversation, “that we were swimming in our underwear, talking about sex, and ready to kiss each other.”

“So why didn’t you?”

I stare at her. “You know damn well why. Our contracts don’t allow that.”

“Fuck the contracts right now.” Nia looks at me with determination. “What didyouwant to happen?”

“That doesn’t matter…”

“Don’t deflect, Zhuri. What did you want?”
