One of them who would never know.
     

“Travis, what am I going to do with you?” I placed my hands on my hips and scolded him like he was a five-year-old.
    “What?” He said around a mouthful of Hostess cupcake. “I can’t help it. You know this happens when we come to the grocery store.” He continued chewing and gave me his silly ass grin that I loved so much.
    “Ugh.” I shook my head at him and blew out a breath then looked over at Nathan. “Not you too, Nathan.”
    He had his arms elbows deep in a bag of chips. “I can’t help it. I’m hungry.” He proceeded to lift out a fist full of chips and stuffed them in his mouth. I wanted to be that chip. For him to devour me the way he did each bite that he took. My pussy clenched and I had to press my legs together to tamper down my desires.
    “You guys are going to be the death of me.” I grabbed the shopping cart and started rolling it down the aisle. The damn thing didn’t want to cooperate. It had a wheel that screeched every time I pushed it. “Seriously this cart is making me crazy.” I stopped again.
    “One of you two pigs need to push the cart or get me a new one.” They both looked at me and then each other. “Yes, that would mean one of you has to stop stuffing your face.”
    “I’ll go get you another one. I’ll be right back.” Travis took off heading for the front of the store. It was just Nathan and me.
    Nathan came over to me while I was having my mini meltdown over the cart and draped his arm around me. “Wanna chip?” He wiggled his eyebrows at me, and I frowned. “Why are you frowning.” He poked me in the rib, and I squealed.
    “Stop, Nathan.” I began giggling, and he started tickling me in front of everyone while he roared with laughter and I prayed I wouldn’t pee my pants from laughing so hard. “You’re bad, mister. You’re lucky I love you so much.”
    He stopped and got serious. “Really? How much do you love me?” He looked away when I stood there speechless holding my breath. “Nah forget it. Didn’t mean to put you on the spot.” He poked me in the rib again and our awkward moment was over. I wanted to rush into his arms and seal my lips against his and tell him I’d been in love with him since the first day I met him, but I knew I couldn’t do that.
    “Back.” Travis bounded down the aisle with a new cart and an open gallon of milk in his hand. I gave him a death glare. He shrugged. “I couldn’t help it. I was thirsty.”
    “Hey! Give me some of that.” Nathan grabbed the gallon of milk and took a long drink. I stood there and watched him. My throat went dry, and my nipples hardened under the lace cups of my bra at the site of his lips caressing the jug. I wanted those lips on mine and my entire body. God I craved his touch more than anything.
    “Lex, what are you going to cook for dinner?” Travis asked and tried to turn on the boyish charm that went along with his good looks.
    “Actually, I’m not. You two are on your own. I have a date tonight.” I continued to push the cart forward even though they were both rooted to the ground.
    “You what?” Travis asked and ran up to me. “How am I going to eat tonight?” He gave me his puppy dog face—one that I had such a hard time resisting.
    “It looks like it’s Ding Dongs and Twinkie city for you tonight.” I giggled and looked over my shoulder to see that Nathan was still standing there looking at me. I couldn’t place the look on his face, but something was off and I needed to figure it out.
    He finally started to walk in our direction, and stopped me by placing his hand over mine. “You really have a date tonight?” He huffed out a breath and ran his hand through his hair.
    “Yes, I really have a date tonight. I’m always home with you two and it’s about time. I’m getting sick of my B.O.B. or, as you two know it, my vibrator. I really need to get laid,” I said a little too loud and got a look from one of the blue haired
