Not Enough: Is love ever enough? (The Enough Series Book 1) Read Online Free PDF Page A

my relationship with Austin platonic thus far, it has
taken a serious amount of willpower.
    “What is wrong Jeremy? I am a grown woman. I can be friends
with anyone I want.” I find myself angry and defensive because I cannot tell
what J is thinking. He clearly has not been to bed. His eyes are cloudy and the
dark circles tell the rest of the story.
    “Oh baby girl, I don’t care who you are friends with I just
don’t want you to get hurt.” The way he says the word friends is laced with
sarcasm and I can tell he does not believe Austin and I are only friends. I
cannot say as I blame him since he did find the sleeping god in my bed. Heaven
knows that does not scream platonic.
    He looks at me with his signature green eyes full of love and
it nearly makes me cry. “I know J but honestly we are only friends. I refuse to
date. You know that.”
    After a moment I begin to wonder, “J, what were you doing in my
bedroom anyway?”
    He lets out a hearty chuckle, “Well I hadn’t planned on
climbing in bed with Austin Black, that’s for sure.”
    My eyes go wide with shock, “Oh my god you didn’t, does he, I
mean did he wake up.” My mind races through the various scenarios of my brother
climbing into bed with Austin before I lose my composure and begin laughing.
    “Oh, he is awake and let me say I don’t imagine that meeting
could have been more awkward,” he begins laughing too.
    “Well, I guess you have a good locker room story now.”
    With that statement, J’s laughter subsides merely to be
replaced by agitation, “No Rylee, this story will go no further.” I didn’t mean
to make J mad I was just making light of the situation but now my curiosity is
piqued. What happened up there? Maybe Austin will enlighten me later.
    “Ok J, I was messing with you. I am going to go find Austin.”
I give my big bro a quick hug and head inside.
    When I don’t find Austin downstairs my heart sinks and I
begin to wonder if he left without saying goodbye. In case he is still upstairs,
I grab his favorite coffee mug and make him a cup of coffee. He takes it black
with a spoonful of sugar.
    Just a spoonful of sugar, it always makes me think of the
song from Mary Poppins. There is no amount of cream or sugar that could get me
to drink the stuff. A spoonful of sugar might make the medicine go down but it
sure as hell will not make the coffee go down, not for me anyway.
    As I make my way into my bedroom I can hear the shower
running and feel a flash of relief, he is still here. While waiting for Austin
to finish his shower I begin making my bed pulling the yellow and black
patterned comforter up and rearranging the pillows. My room is large with a bay
window overlooking the front yard.
    The cherry colored king size bed is in the center of the room
and is flanked by two matching nightstands. I have a matching dresser on the
wall opposite the bed and a large flat screen TV hung above it. The color
scheme is simple black and white with a few yellow accents.
    After I finish making the bed, I lay back and turn on
SportsCenter while I wait for Austin. After about five minutes of watching
highlights, Austin emerges from the bathroom in nothing but his pajama pants. He
looks absolutely sinful. His broad shoulders and well-defined pectoral muscles
are divine, but it is the washboard abs and perfect ‘v’ at his pelvis that makes
him drool-worthy.
    As he finishes towel drying his hair he looks up at me with a
shy smile, I am sure he can tell I am feasting on his body. “So, I met Jeremy.
Seems like a nice guy,” he says with a hint of mockery.
    “I am so sorry Austin, I had no idea he was coming over. And,
I am so sorry that is how you two met.” I sit there fidgeting with my hands a
little nervous that Austin could be upset with me for J’s indiscretion.
    As he reaches the bed, I hand him his cup of coffee which he
places on the nightstand before taking my hands in his. With a soft smile, he
melts my fears with his reply, “Thank
