“Are you comfortable sweetheart, need anything while I’m up?” I looked down at her poor hand. It was still pretty swollen but didn’t look to bad. She was trying to adjust herself on the sofa with all the pillows and the blanket. I let out a small laugh and she looked up at me.

“Glad to know I’m amusing you. I can’t do this with just one hand. ARGH! I feel so useless. Shit!”

She threw her head back against the sofa. Poor thing, I knew she was in pain and was trying to act like she wasn’t.

“Here Ellie sweetheart, let me help you.” I reached over and set the pillow on the end of the sofa. “Here, lie down.”

I picked up her legs and the instant I touched her I felt a jolt of electricity go through my entire body. Good lord I can’t even help her with the simplest of things without getting a reaction out of my betraying body.

“Really I’m okay sitting up Gu

“Don’t be silly Ellie, lay down. Please.”

I smiled when I saw her relax. She lifted her legs onto the sofa and I adjusted the pillow for her. I took the smaller pillows and put them on the edge of the sofa so she could put her hand up. She took the ice and I saw that she winced when she put it on her hand.

“Do you need more pain medicine?” I asked her as I moved the coffee table over to where she could at least reach over and grab her water if she needed it.

“No, I just took some not too long ago. Gu

I was now kneeling on the ground in front of the sofa adjusting her blanket.

I looked up at her and was stopped in my tracks. Her beautiful light brown hair was just past her shoulders and had a bit of a wave to it. Not curly but not straight either. Her blue eyes looked like the sky and her smile…… well damn her smile would always be my undoing I decided at that very moment.

I smiled at her and for some reason I reached up and pushed her hair behind her ear. Every time I touched her I felt her heat move through my body. I wanted so badly to reach down and just brush her lips against mine. And then it hit me, I would do anything for her. I would lay down my life for this girl.

“I know you can take care of yourself sweetheart. I just want to help. Now let’s watch this movie shall we?” I said as I stood back up and moved to the other end of the sofa.

I lifted up her legs, sat down and grabbed the last small pillow I purposely kept out to hide my hard on. I placed her legs on the pillow and hit play. It would take several minutes into Cars before my heart rate finally settled back down.

Chapter Seven

Ellie ……

The moment he pushed my hair behind my ear I knew I was in trouble.

He was being so thoughtful and kind. For a second I really thought he was going to lean down and kiss me. I almost was willing him to do it in my mind. How silly am I being? I know he is only taking care of me because I am Jefferson’s sister. There is no way a guy like this would EVER be interested in me. Jefferson was dead wrong. I’m so far out of Gu

Gu

You will never be wanted by anyone…………

“Hey, what are you frowning for over there? Do you want me to change the movie, cars not doing it for you sweetheart?” Gu

OH. MY. GOD. He really needed to stop doing that. This boy must have magic in his finger tips….holy fuck! There goes that pressure in-between my legs again!

“No, its fine I was just thinking about the whole thing with Ryan today. I’m sorry.” I said as I tried to relax while he was sending jolts of electricity up and down my legs. Gu

Oh holy shit! I needed to stop this! I tried to clear my head of my thoughts and looked back up at Gu

“Hey, um Gu

“Always….”

Yep, I would never forget that smile for as long as I lived. The feelings it sent through my body were like nothing I had ever experienced.

“Why do you keep calling me sweetheart?”

SHIT! As soon as I asked him that his smile faded just a little bit.

“I didn’t realize I was saying it a lot. I’m sorry. If you want me to stop or it bothers you, I’ll try to be more aware of it.” Gu

Oh no….FUCK! I think I just hurt his feelings. FUCK! FUCK! FUCK A DUCK!

“No no please don’t stop. I mean, I like it. I mean, um, well…” Good lord what was I trying to say here?

“It’s just that you called me that the first time you touched me, I mean when you pulled me back away from Jefferson and Ryan. I guess I was just surprised to hear anyone other than Jefferson use an endearing name for me. That’s all.” I said as I laid back down on the pillow. Gesh now I felt like a complete bitch. Here this god of a guy was staying home tonight and waiting on me and I just insulted him. SHIT! I truly sucked at this stuff.

“Ryan never called you sweetheart or anything?” Gu

“HA! No….about the only thing he ever called me was Ell or Ells. That should have been another sign.” I said the last sentence practically under my breath.

“Well I can tell you this Ellie, if you were my girlfriend I would let you know every day how much you meant to me, through words, and much more.” Gu

I wanted to say show me this much more and show me now please!

Okay, that just woke up my whole body including my libido. WOW….no one has ever said anything like that to me before. Whoever snags this guy is going to be one hell of a lucky bitch.

“That is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. Thank you Gu

The thought of another girl in his arms drove me almost mad. What was wrong with me? God help me…..I turned my attention back to Cars.

Before I knew it he was stroking my legs again and I feel into a dream. I dreamt I was walking along a riverbank. It was me walking but I was also standing in the back ground watching it all play out. All I could see was my back walking away from me. Then to my side a man came ru
