deepen. “Didn’t realize you two were twins.” She batted her thick eyelashes and did a little shoulder action that took me back to the night we met. Damn, this woman was hot.
    “Oh, yeah, I guess I forgot to mention that,” Lexi said.
    Neither of us said anything, just stared at each other. Somewhere in that awkward silence a look was exchanged, which hinted to keep our previous rendezvous between us. I didn’t like complicated, and since she was my sister’s roomie, I went with it.
    “So, what did Mom and Dad say?” I did a quick scan of the living room and then stepped into my sister’s room. She had everything decorated in black and white with a few hot pink items. Lexi was creative so decorating came natural to her.
    “They liked it, but they’re worried about me living on campus.”
    I walked back into the living area, glancing at Delaney a few times. A flirtatious smile emerged from her lips as she played with the straw in her cup, pulling it up and down in a way that made me adjust my shorts.
    Oh yeah, she remembered me.
    “I told them they had nothing to be concerned about and if I needed anything I could always call on you.” Lexi continued unpacking, removing a few things from a box, unaware of the fact that Delaney and I were eyeing each other purposely.
    I grunted, already hearing my parents nag me about keeping an eye on Lexi. Not that I needed to. Her boyfriend, Collin, who happened to be my teammate and good friend since middle school, was practically a saint. Coming from a preacher’s family, he worked hard to do the right thing. My parents were equally demanding, my mom more than my dad, except I wasn’t as cooperative as my sister.
    “You can always call on Collin, ya know,” I reminded her.
    “I think that’s part of their concern.” She arched a brow. “But I reassured them none of that would be going on.”
    “Don’t they know him by now?” I laughed as I walked to the couch and took a seat. “Because they have nothing to worry about.”
    “That’s what I told them.” Lexi shrugged.
    “So, what are you ladies doing tonight?” I kicked up my feet and placed them on the coffee table.
    Delaney stopped slurping her drink. “I’m headed to the Kappa Sig party. What about you?”
    “Not sure. I might head to 7 th Street with a few friends.” I thought about asking her to come, but decided to play a little hard ball with her. I could always swing by the Kappa Sig party later if I wanted to see her.
    “Collin is taking me to dinner at seven.” Lexi pulled her phone from the back of her pocket. “I better hurry up. He’ll be here in an hour.”
    “Okay. I’m going to grab something eat.” I lowered my feet and inched toward the edge of the sofa.
    “I’ll see you tomorrow.” Lexi started toward her bedroom.
    “What’s tomorrow?”
    “Church?” Lexi stopped and turned around, shooting me a dumbfounded look.
    I sighed. “Yeah, well, if I get up in time.”
    “Whatever.” Lexi waved me off. “Delaney will you lock the door when he leaves?”
    Delaney’s brows arched. “Sure.”
    Lexi went to her room and shut the door. Sweat covered my palms, and I rubbed them against the legs of my shorts. I had no idea why I was feeling nervous. Something about her had my heart, stomach, and head in a different state. “I can’t believe you’re my sister’s roommate.”
    “I can’t believe you two are twins.” Delaney shook her head.
    “You know what they say . . . three degrees of separation.”
    “I thought it was six?” She narrowed her eyes and shifted her weight.
    I hated to admit that she was too damn cute. “Well, Delaney ,” I stressed her name, glad I finally knew it, “I guess I’ll head out.” I stood up, and she stepped in front of the door, gripping the knob as through prepared to stop me from leaving.
    “I was kind of hoping you wanted to see my room.” Her eyes darted to the left. “Help me test the bed.”
    I turned toward her room but stopped
