Kelly Hill Read Online Free PDF

look while he started to prepare the strawberries, a small smile playing on his lips, “Are you sure about that?”
    Rachel forced a chuckle, “Of course I’m sure. Ethan’s never been on time for anything a day in his life.”
    Kelly didn’t take his eyes off of Rachel and she could feel him studying her as she concentrated on the melon.
    “I think it was a little rude.” Kelly said, not letting the subject go, “I mean, we didn’t even call.”
    Rachel felt her molars grind together in frustration but she didn’t say anything, she forced a larger smile and met his green eyes head on with her own blue ones, “Nope.” She solidified. “I didn’t mind at all.”
    Kelly grinned but didn’t say anything. They held one another’s gaze for a few seconds more before Rachel looked away.
    When the fruit was done, Kelly got down two glasses and filled them with orange juice.
    “Grab two more.” Rachel instructed, preparing the quiche to serve four people.
    “ Oh no, they’re not going to be up for a while.” Kelly explained away. “I think it’s just you and me.”
    “ Oh.” Rachel looked down at her quiche, disappointed that Ethan wasn’t going to get to try it.
    She hadn’t seen her brother in three years, there was so much that she felt like they were missing out in each other's lives. The least she could do was make him a decent breakfast.
    And with Kelly up and about, Rachel had just assumed that Logan and Ethan would be making their presence known soon, it had never dawned on her that Kelly was acting on his own. Of course, it had never dawned on her that he would be here either.
    As if he noticed her sour tone, Kelly cleared his throat, “I just heard you up here earlier and I didn’t want you to eat alone.”
    Rachel looked at Kelly again; a lot of things had been said that last night they were together. Was he just looking for some sort of validation? Was he looking for some kind of apology?
    “ I mean, you went to all this trouble, I just figured you’d like the company.” He looked away, as if he was looking for something, as if he had run out of things to say.
    “ I’m used to eating alone.” Rachel stated, unable to stop her lips from forming the words. She didn’t know how else to respond, Kelly Hill was standing here, in her kitchen, cutting up her fruit and talking about simple things like breakfast. It was too much for her to process.
    “ Well, we’re gonna have to change that, aren’t we?” Kelly flashed a different sort of smile and Rachel raised an eyebrow. What did that mean?
    “ It’s okay.” She pushed away, “If you want to get some more rest, you can.”
    She didn’t want him to leave, not in so many words, but she also didn’t want to have the conversation that she knew was coming.
    Rachel had always been on her own doing things. It was what she was used to. It was exactly where she wanted to be. That way no one could see the cracks.  The small bits of her that were wearing just a little bit thin.
    “ But I don’t want more rest.” Kelly handed her a glass of orange juice, “I wanna have breakfast with you.”
    Kelly picked up both plates with little to no more words on the matter. He looked to Rachel to lead the way and instead of trying to over analyze the situation she just nodded and walked towards the patio door. She unlatched it and opened the door for him but he just stood there and waited for her to exit first.
    Rachel wanted to sigh in exasperation, she really did, but she knew she couldn’t. She knew that he was watching with those too green eyes and he would notice everything; he always did.
    “ We can sit over there.” Rachel nodded towards the patio furniture, covered with a large umbrella.
    Silently Kelly walked over. He set the plates of food down and jogged past Rachel back into the house, a moment later, he had reemerged with their orange juice, “Can’t forget this.” He was smiling at her still. Always smiling.
    “I could have grabbed
