He pulls my leg and twists my foot in his hands, not hurting me, but enough to gain full access to my sole and start a slow torture.
“Stop,” I begin a whisper. “Stop, stop, Nolan.”
He doesn’t listen to me, stifling his laughter as he continues to tickle me.
“OKAY. Sorry,” I exclaim, my voice breathless. “I’m sorry. You know how to read. Big and strong Nolan Jones.
He lets go of me and puffs out his chest, smiling. I want to slap him, but my stomach is tingling once again. A “you’re a kid” threatens to cross the barrier of my lips but I hold back for fear of reprisals. I had forgotten how exhausting he could be when he wanted to piss me off. When it comes to being unbearable Nolanhas somehow gotten even better than when I left for France. Meanwhile, I’ve lost my touch.
“I’m ready.”
He stares at the TV, leaving my feet behind once and for all.
And I’ve lost all desire to sleep.

Nolan
Leaning against the counter, I take a sip of the steaming coffee Leo has just made. The night was short, sleep can be felt in my muscles. With the day ahead of me and training this afternoon, I might be mad at myself for spending the night on the couch.
“Hi!”
I turn to Scarlett who walks into the kitchen, her hair wet. She’s wearing a tight black tank top that makes my gaze stumble a bit too much on her breasts. I immediately look away and mutter an almost inaudible hello. She ignores my sudden lack of excitement and walks past me to help herself to a mug. I shift, preventing her body from touching mine as she pours her coffee. She straightens up and faces me, a shy smile on her face. I keep my eyes glued to her, keeping my sudden interest from resurfacing again. I don’t know what’s got into me to focus so much on her tits. It’s hard to imagine her still as a baby when she talks aboutfuckingthe whole world. It messed my brain up, that’s for sure. But these are boobs. My almost little sister’slittleboobs.
Period.
“I’m sorry for last night.”
“Last night?” I repeat, a little confused.
“If you didn’t get much sleep.”
I laugh as I put my cup in the sink.
“It’s the fault of your cheesy show.”
“Sorry, but I thought you asked me to put onthe nextepisode yesterday.”
I smile as Leo enters.
“An episode of what?”
I growl.
“A Korean drama,” Scarlett giggles.
“You watched a Korean drama, Jones?”
“I slept.”
Not a lot.
Not at all.
“Liar. You stayed upallnight,” Scarlett continued to tease.
Leo laughs. I stare at our new roommate; whose face proudly displays a playful pout. She’s thrilled to embarrassing me in front of my friend and my chest swells with pride. I walk slowly towards her, making her step back imperceptibly.
