Mimi’s face turns beet red when she realizes she’s staring at my chest and abs.
“I’m so sorry!” she cries out. “Why are you here…shirtless… Why are you here and shirtless?”
She’s definitely more energetic than Sally and Ella. You’d never be able to tell they are sisters.
Mimi’s outburst seems to stir a sleeping Leon as his messy brown hair becomes visible. He rubs his eyes with a strong yawn before his brown and blue eyes land on me.
He doesn’t look as surprised to see me as his sister was. “Hey, Oliver.”
“Why do you look so unfazed?” Mimi exclaims, looking at her brother in disbelief.
Leon looks lazily at his sister before yawning again and getting up from the couch. He’s just as shirtless as I am, but he has on black sleep shorts instead of jeans.
“I made coffee if anyone wants some,” I say, pointing at the now full coffee pot.
“Sure.” Leon yawns again before walking over to the cabinet and getting out three cups. “Sis, you want some?”
She’s still turned away from us. “I was gonna get some from Shoreline—unless you boys can make me a latte?”
“That might be out of my wheelhouse,” I say sheepishly. “Sorry.”
This causes a little giggle to come out of her mouth.
“Don’t mind her. She’s not used to boys yet.”
“Leon!”
“You’ve never had a boyfriend or even talked about an actual guy,” Leon shoots back in a playful tone. “You only like fictional men.”
“Well, with them, I have a guaranteed happy ending.”
Leon hands me two cups, and I fill them up. He takes the filled cup from me and walks over to the fridge, opening it up and pulling out some almond milk.
Good thing I like black coffee.
The youngest Reed must notice my look because he says, “I’m lactose intolerant. The whole family kind of changed what we drink at home because of it.”
“It sucks,” Ella’s voice comes into the room before she makes an appearance. “Oliver.”
“Ariella,” I quip back, noticing her scowl as she’s wearing Jaxon’s shirt and a headband to keep her hair back.
Now we are just missing my girl—wait, she’s not even my girlfriend yet.
“What’s with the party?” My eyes shoot past Ella at the familiar voice.
Sally walks into the kitchen, clad in my shirt, which doesn’t escape Ella as she stares at her sister with an amused look.
“Just making some coffee.” My voice comes out a little deeper than intended. Does she really have this effect on me? I thought I was smooth. Guess not. We’ve only kissed—well, more like eating each other.
“Hmm.” She makes her way toward the cups.
I jump to action, grabbing and mug and filling it with the hot, caffeinated liquid. “Do you need some milk?” I hand her the cup, ignoring Ella’s snort, Leon’s smirk, and a look of awe from Mimi.
“I’m good.” She lazily smiles up at me and parks herself right next to me, likes it’s the most natural place for her to be, and takes a sip. “Fuck, this is hot.”
“You okay?” my voice comes out fast.
“Perfect.”
