Technically, they’remypajamas since both items used to belong to me. Swear to God, every time she stays over, another piece of my clothing goes missing. My attempts at getting them back have stopped because I never win.
I grin. “I’m going to have to start charging you for your theft,” I say, falling down onto her bed, lying on my side, and holding my head up with my elbow. I might complain, but secretly, I love seeing her in my clothes.
She rolls her eyes. “Yeah, right.” She tugs at the bottom of my shirt. “They don’t make women’s clothes this comfy. Therefore, your clothes are my clothes.”
She makes herself comfortable next to me, her back against the headboard, and turns on the TV toLive PD.
It’s our favorite show.
Twenty minutes later, Carolina is knocked out.
I chuckle to myself and carefully slide off the bed, not wanting to wake her. I throw the covers over her, kiss her forehead, and then go back to my room. As soon as I walk in, my phone rings.
“Hello?” I answer.
“Hey, little bro,” Sierra, my older sister, says on the other line. “Are you busy tomorrow? I think my computer is on crack, and it needs you to take it to rehab. I can’t access any of my clients’ files.”
“Sorry, sis, but I’m in Texas with Carolina all weekend,” I reply.
“Oh, I like,” she gushes.
Everyone in my family is Team Rex and Carolina Need to Date. There isn’t one person who dislikes her. In fact, sometimes, I think they like her better than me.
“Shut up,” I grumble.
My grumpiness doesn’t faze her.
“What are you doing? Couples retreat?”
“Piss off. She had a family wedding and didn’t want to go alone.”
“I wish you two would start dating. You pretty much already act like husband and wife; it’d just have morebenefits.”
I make a gagging noise. “Gross. You’re my sister.”
She laughs.
I yawn. “I’m wiped. I’ll look at your computer when I get home.”
We say our good nights, and I notice a text from the chick I’ve been hanging out with lately.
I ignore it.
Ever since Carolina came to me, heartbroken, it’s been hard for me to be around other women. I always want to make sure she’s okay. I hate seeing her hurt, and it kills me when I think about her falling for a complete scumbag who took advantage of her.
I hate how much I care about her but can’t imagine her not being in my life.
I love Carolina Adams, and there’s nothing I can do about it because I wouldn’t survive losing her.

Rex isn’t answeringmy calls.
If he overslept, I’m kicking his ass.
All eyes have been on us since his relationship announcement. If we’re late, there will no doubt be more gossip. I brainstorm on possible excuses for our tardiness.
