“I love you too.” Her lips met mine.

Gabriel
I shut off my alarm, climbed out of bed, threw on a pair of sweatpants, and went downstairs for a cup of coffee. When I opened the blinds on the sliding door, I smiled as the sun started rising over the water.
After making my coffee, I stepped onto the patio to enjoy the morning air before I had to get ready for work.
“Morning, bro.” Grayson smiled from his pool.
“Morning. Enjoying your swim?” I smirked.
“Always.”
I walked over to his patio and took a seat in the lounger.
“Are you working today?” I asked him.
“Yeah. I just wanted to get a swim in before I head out. How’s your day looking?”
“I have a patient-filled day, so it’s going to be busy.”
“That’s good. Keep making that money.” He smiled as he climbed out of the pool.
“Is Ava up yet?” I asked.
“No. She’s still sleeping. We were up late last night.” A smirk crossed his lips.
“I bet you were.” I brought the cup to my mouth.
“There’s no better feeling in the world than waking up to the woman you love every morning.”
“I can think of some better things.” The corners of my mouth curved upward.
“You do realize you’re the only single guy left in the family, right?”
“I do realize that, and it makes me happy.”
Grayson reached over and hit me with his wet towel. “Stop being a douchebag.”
“How am I a douchebag because I’m happy being single?” I cocked my head at him.
“You just think you’re happy, but you’re not.”
“I am, brother. Trust me.”
“Keep telling yourself that, bro.”
“I have to get ready for work. I suggest you do the same.” I stood up from the lounger and fist-bumped him.
“You’re not happy, Gabriel!” he shouted as I walked over to my house.
“Says you, bro!” I chuckled.
Jackson and I pulled into the medical center at the same time.
“Morning.” I smiled as I climbed out of my car.
