6 MONTHS LATER

I try to pump my legs faster, but the laughter escaping my body causes me to slow down and stagger. His arms wrap around me and pulls me to the ground with him. I land on top of him and roll off of him.

"I liked you two better when you were just best friends," Lee grumbles.

I sit up with a smile."We are still best friends. We just added another title to our names." I explain and rest my head on Ty's shoulder.

"Reed, be my wingman. I need a girlfriend." Lee states and Reed mutters to himself.

Reed, my overprotective brother, isn't thrilled about me having a boyfriend.

"I'll be your wingman and in return you should be mine. You have been grumpy lately. Maybe a girlfriend will lift your spirits," Lee states. My brother responds by spraying Lee with the water hose.

Lee wipes the water off his face and turns serious. "Oh, it's on. Ahh!" Lee let's out what I assume to be a war cry and shoots him repeatedly with his water gun.

Yes, two colleges males are having a water gun/water hose fight.

"Want to fight?" Ty questions me.

I don't say anything, but take off towards the closest water gun.

Yes, two high school graduates join in on the the battle- soon to be water war.

"You're goin' down!"

"Shut up!"

"Bring it on!

"Ahhh!"

One hour later, the water war is over. My brother won because he had the stupid water hose. I took a shower and exchanged my soaked clothes for a nice cozy grey sweater and black shorts with red stars on them.

I am now laying on my bed and waiting for Ty to finish showering. I scroll through the TV channels for something to watch, and I decide on Family Feud.

Steve Harvey is hilarious.

During the commercials, I scroll through Pinterest.

Ty enters my room, now wearing shorts and a t-shirt. He crawls on the bed and lays half way on top of me, so his head is on my stomach.

"Um, hello." I say to him.

He moves his head, so he is looking at me. "Is this okay?"

"Yeah, I guess. There's a thing called personal space." I respond with a laugh.

"But I want to take a nap." He pouts.

"On me?" I question.

"Yes."

I shrug. "Okay, but I do want my personal space sometimes."

He nods and wraps his arms around me. Within ten minutes, he is out like light.

A couple hours later, my brother steps in my room. He looks at Ty and then to me.

"He's napping," I explain.

"Why didn't he at his house?"

I shrug. "Will you pop me some popcorn?"

"Do I have to?" Reed questions.

"No, but I would really like it if you did." I grin.

He sighs. "Only for you. Ty can't have any of it."

"Way ahead of you brother."

One hour later, Ty raises his head and squints.

I run my hand over his head and pat his cheek. "How was your nap?"

He grunts and face plants into my stomach softly. I laugh and push him up.

"Ty."

"Hmm?"

"Go home and asleep you goober." I state and give him a look.

"No," he groans and holds me tighter. "Let me stay."

"How am I supposed to sleep with you in my bed? We haven't been dating that long." I reply.

"But we've been best friends for a very long time. The only difference is I get to show you how much I like you every day."

"Shut up," I blush. "Turn the lights and TV off so I can try to sleep with you in the same bed."

"Yes!"

I've never seen him do something so fast in my life.
