"She could tell me no for the rest of my life and I would still follow her around just in case she ever needs something." Still not sure he’s not a stalker but it's definitely not because she told him no and he isn't used to hearing the word. A man doesn't hang around like that unless he's committed. I'm not sure if that's committed in a crazy way or committed heart and soul yet but I'm willing to give the guy a chance.

"Alright. Then I'm not going to stand in your way."

"Hmm, on that note maybe there is something we can both do to help the other one. A kind of trade if you will. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours."

I raise my eyebrow intrigued by his offer. I don't have to worry about money and I'm pretty low maintenance. I don't know what this guy can possibly give me as a trade for helping him with Willa. Still...

"I'm listening."

"Willa and the girl you like seem to be pretty close." My back goes rigid at the very mention of Teddy.

Both of us look over at the table the girls are at. Willa has her head bowed to listen to what her sister has to say and I see both of them laughing. This must be the sister she calls all the time. Fuck, if I had known she was right under my nose the whole time I would have paid better attention. I would have asked Willa to let me listen in on all of their conversations. I would have suggested she come spend the night and never leave.

"Theodora." I don't like people calling her Teddy. All I can see is her wrapped up in some lace number that barely covers her generous curves. And, fuck, now I'm hard!

"What?"

"Theodora, she's her sister. They're close." Something he should have known if he’s as into Willa as he says he is.

"Right. Yeah, I know who she is and how close they are to one another.” So he has done his homework where Willa is concerned. “I also know that both of them are going to be on guard with us if we approach the other.” Damn! Would it be easier to get to her if she didn't have her sisters with her constantly? Probably. Would Willa shut me down if she knew what I was thinking about doing with her sister? Uh, yeah, she would. So fast it would make my head swim and crush any dream I have of getting closer. “So we both need to get the other alone." Now he’s talking sense and getting down to our problem.

"What do you have in mind?"
