Groupies that meant nothing to me.”
    I couldn’t process everything.  It was too much.  Plus, my stomach started to growl from not eating since the day before.  I walked to the kitchen and ordered a couple of pizzas.  Kai didn’t move.  He stayed glued to the couch.

    Pacing, I kept pacing.  If I was pacing I wasn’t talking to Kai who sat in the living room looking like a lost puppy.  Lovely.  Lee came in a few minutes ago, took one look at Kai and I and decided to fix himself a drink in the kitchen.  I guessed he already knew what had been said.
    Ace took my pacing as wanting to play and when he saw me, jumped onto my chest with his front paws.  “Dammit, Lee!  Ace is covered in mud.  Where did you have him?”
    He looked at me and busted out laughing at the paw prints on my shirt, right on my breasts.  “I just, I can’t.”  More laughing.  I was going to kick his ass.  He composed himself for long enough to say, “He found a stick and I kept throwing it for him.  I didn’t know he was muddy, I swear.”  Still laughing.
    Groaning I yelled at him to dry off the dog’s feet and went upstairs to change my shirt.  I heard the buzzer for the gate and yelled down for Lee to let the pizza guy in.  I slipped on a tank top, but grabbed a sweatshirt to throw over it just in case more dog paws met my chest.
    When my feet hit the top step I heard Lee yell for me.  I didn’t know why, it was just pizza.  I saw Kai walk to the door and the second he saw who was on the other side he froze.  Not able to see due to the way the door was only partially open and how my staircase curved, I continued down the stairs.  Pulling my sweatshirt down, I pushed in between the guys.
    I was surprised to see who was on the other side.  Radek was standing in my doorway holding the pizzas and the pizza delivery guy was driving down the driveway.  He had a hard look on his face, the muscle in his jaw moving as he took in my appearance.
    Stepping forward, I grabbed the pizza boxes and handed them to Lee.  I embraced Radek in a hug which wasn’t returned and tried to kiss him, but he turned his head to dodge it.  Shit.  “What are you doing here?  I thought you were working today.”
    “Uh huh, I guess you did,” he said, eyeing Kai and Lee up and down.  “The flight got cancelled late last night, because the person I was flying had a family emergency.  I thought I would surprise you today, but I’m the one who’s surprised and confused as to what the hell is going on here.”
    Radek’s eyes didn’t meet mine, they fixated on Kai’s whose in turn were eyeing him back.  Fuck, this was not what I needed.  I turned and grabbed both Kai and Lee by the arm, hauling them further inside so Radek could come in.  He didn’t.  Walking to him, I took his hand in mine, lacing our fingers, and pulled him inside.  I was met with a little resistance, but he let me drag him in.
    Kai looked down and saw my hand laced with Radek’s.  His eyes moved to look into mine and my heart broke a little.  His eyes gave away his emotions.  He was hurt and I saw it, because he was my friend and I had known him for so long.  Someone who didn’t know him might not have picked up on it.
    Kai’s eyes went back to Radek’s in a silent challenge.  They became hard and I could feel the tension building.  Oh no, they were not going to have a standoff in my house.  Lee placed the pizzas on a small hutch that I had in my entranceway and moved to stand between Radek and Kai.
    “Are you two going to throw down?  If so, I think our girl would appreciate you taking that shit outside.”
    If I didn’t know better I thought I heard Radek growl.  His voice was deep and angry when he asked, “Our girl?”  He turned to me and holy shit was he pissed.  Seething might have been a more accurate term.  He let go of my hand and I immediately missed its warmth.
    “Dude, you need to calm down,” Lee said to him, assuming
