It was weird that Solomon hadn't heard from Kaci after he told her come over. Usually she'd jump at the chance to come see him. He kept checking his phone to see if she had texted him. [i]"You're pathetic, man,"[/i] he thought to himself and laughed. Laying down in his bed in only in his jeans, he placed his hands on his stomach and deeply sighed, thinking about Kaci as he closed his eyes. 

They'd have to tell Jeremy eventually. His feelings for Kaci were growing and the fact that they had to sneak around him made him feel like a liar. Solomon didn't know what was worse, Jeremy not knowing or [i]Jeremy knowing.[/i]

Jeremy sighed and laid down in the bed on his side, facing her. "If he thinks he's going to get to you, he's a fucking idiot," he smiled as he propped himself up to kiss her stomach, chest, shoulder, neck, and finally her forehead, slowly and softly. Part of him wanted to take her right there and then, but seeing how upset she was made him realize it wouldn't be a good move. He joined her in the pillows, looking up to the ceiling. "Would you feel safer at the clubhouse? All the guys should be there by now." Looking over to his alarm clock, he saw it was 11:00 am. She still didn't look convinced, so he threw his arm over her bare torso and looked at her intently. "I'm not going to let him hurt you, Tallis. I promise."
