cast with the pillow. “Ow! Hey, watch the arm!” Just then the pillow I threw flew across his face.
    “That’s it!” Devon chased me around the room, and I wrapped a sheet around my naked body and ran around the bed shrieking with laughter.
    “You have to say it , too, Devon!” I insisted.
    “I have to? ” he said with a suppressed grin.
    “Yes .” I pouted, running around the bed.
    “Say what?” He laughed and chased me.
    “Yo u know what! Say it.” I held the sheet over my chest, and ran away from him as he chased me.
    Devon threw a pillow that crossed my head and frizzed my hair which made him burst out with laughter.
    “Wrong answer.” I frowned. I picked up the pillow and threw it back at Devon. He caught it and thumped it in his hands. “My turn,” he said with a playful grin.
    I ran towards the door. Devon shuffled across the bed on his knees and pulled the trail of the sheet that was wrapped around me toward him. I grabbed another pillow from the bed and thumped him in the head with it.
    “Hey!” He grimaced.
    “Hey yourself. You still haven’t said it.”
    I turned away to open the door, but Devon grabbed the sheet and pulled me close, wrapping me up in it. He stood up and pulled me toward him until I faced him.
    “I can’t move .” I pouted while peering up at him.
    “That’s the po int, so you’ll be good.”
    I was so close to Devon’s chest, and his scent filled me up inside. I did not mind the idea of being trapped so close to him. “You still haven’t said it.” I said glancing up at him.
    “Say what? ” He said threading his fingers through escaped tendrils of my hair. “Say this?” He pressed his lips to mine, closed his eyes, and took me with increased mastery, forcing my lips open with the tip of his tongue, leaving me burning and aching for more of him. I tasted his firm, sweet lips and pressed my tongue against his, surrendering to his strong embrace and forgetting about everything for that moment.
    Raising his mouth from mine , he gazed into my eyes. “Is that what you need to know? Or do you need me to tell you I don’t want you to go…I would miss everything about you…I would miss your laugh and your smile? Or do you need me to tell you that you are still the best part of my day, and that I am not going to let that go for anything? That I would be a complete fool to let you go? Do you still need to hear me say it, as it becomes more and more obvious with each passing day?”
    “You sti ll haven’t said it,” I simpered.
    “I love you , Erin. I always have.” His green eyes swept over my face and met my eyes.
    My pulse raced and my stomach fluttered. I wrapped my body around him and kissed him with an eagerness that made Devon laugh and lose his balance. We laughed and fell onto the bed. “Watch the arm,” Devon said with a bright smile.
    “Oh, you poor baby. Let me get your mind off your pain.” I slipped the sheet off and climbed next to him.
    “Hey, why didn’t you tell me when I got here?” Devon asked while caressing my shoulder.
    “Because I wanted to hear what I heard tonight. I wanted to hear that you loved me, and that we were worth fighting for. Now I know,” I said, losing myself in his glimmering green eyes.
    “What do we do now? ” he asked.
    “We tell my mom the truth,” I said with a pleased smile.
    Devon cupped my faced and brought his lips to mine.

    Erin’s laughter filled the room and filled Devon’s heart. The pain he felt inside melted away with the warmth of her presence, and joy broke through the dark clouds like the sun.

    The lifeguard position paid enough for him to survive without his mom’s help. As
