Mittens and Zebra, the two gray striped cats that my parents have, chase each other across the living room, tumbling into one of their famous wrestling matches that they’ve been doing since they were kittens. Mittens swipes Zebra across the nose, and Zeb howls in pain.

“You two are worse than kids. No respect for Jenni’s piano performance.”

When Jenni finishes the song she’s playing, she looks up at me. “Hey, babe.” She gets up and walks up to me, slinging her arms around my shoulders. I try not to stiffen. It’s so strange having her touch me like this, but it’s nice too, which puts me on treacherous ground. I can’t enjoy this too much.

“Wes,” my mom calls to my father. “Look at how adorable they are together.” She claps her hands giddily.

Dad looks at us from over the book he’s reading in his favorite chair by the fireplace. “I see that.” He sets the book down and uncrosses his legs. “Is dinner ready yet?”

“I’ll go check with Lidia.” She heads toward the kitchen.

    “And you’re just now telling me this?”Jenni is warm against my side. She feels nice there, like she fits into me. For a moment, it’s almost like the rivalry is gone between us. But who am I kidding? She’s only acting.“I didn’t know we were telling people yet.” I look down at Jenni.“We talked about it, babe.”Babe? Now we’re using pet names? I’m so out of my league here.“So that’s why you took her on such a nice date!” Mom looks like a kid who just got a coveted toy on Christmas morning.I can’t help but feel a little guilty at the look of pure joy in my mom’s eyes.“That’s right,” Jenni says. “I couldn’t help but fall for him after that.” She snuggles into me.She’s good at this. I can barely tell she’s acting, and it’s taking my breath away to have her so close.“Look at the two of you together!” Mom is ecstatic, and guilt creeps up at the web of lies we’re spinning. Jenni and I haven’t really talked through the logistics of how we’re going to end this thing. I don’t like the ide

    LANGSTONToday is race day, and my stomach is tied in knots as I head to the Blue Mountain Racetrack. The Finleys and Keiths created this racetrack years ago, and we’ve been holding races here for generations. I keep reminding myself that I’ve done everything I can to prepare and I have to let Thunder and his jockey do their jobs. I take a seat as the race begins. Jenni is sitting with her family nearby. I look over to see her all dressed up with a fancy hat and everything. We go all out when it’s racing day.“How was your date with Jenni?” my mom asks when I take a seat next to her.“It went well. I took her to seeLes Mis.”“You know that’s her favorite musical, right?”“That’s what I understand.”My mom’s face glows with excitement. “I can hear those wedding bells already!”Kaison leans forward. “Mom, he’s not telling you the whole story. I heard he bought out the entire theater to give her a private showing.”“What? Langston, you sly dog! Who knew you were such a romantic?” Ashton

    “I’ll let him know there’s nothing actually going on between us, and he won’t care,” Langston explains.There’s a car waiting for us with our driver, Nate, one of the Atlanta staff members that serves the Keith family. We’ve done so many things together for so many years that we all know the employees that work for the families.The air is cool, and I wish I’d brought a jacket. But Nate has the car warm, and I slide into the back seat. I scoot all the way over to make room for Langston.“Where are we going?” I ask when Nate pulls out of the airport.“You’ll see.”We drive through traffic and eventually pull up to the Fox Theater. “Are we watching a show? What about dinner?”“Don’t worry, I won’t let you go hungry. Heaven forbid you get hangry on me.”I roll my eyes. “I don’t get hangry…”“You don’t? Then why do you have daggers shooting out of your eyes when it takes too long for our food to come out at the diner?”I scowl at him. “I don’t want to talk about it.”Nate opens my door, a

    Noodle jumps up on the couch and stares Langston down hard.“I’m all out of meat, kitty.” He shows her his empty hands, but she meows demandingly at him.I can’t help but laugh.Noodle eventually gives up and snuggles beside Langston.“I guess you’ve won her loyalty,” I say.“That’s what happens when you spoil a kitty.”“So back to the fake dating thing,” I say. “How is this going to work? Are we going to have to kiss each other and stuff?”Langston smiles. “Isn’t that what couples do?”“Not always in public. Some people don’t like PDA.”“But we’re putting on a show, and we need it to be convincing. My mom can sniff out lies like a bloodhound. After raising five boys, she’s become quite the expert.”I laugh. “You guys did put her through a lot growing up, so it’s no surprise.”“We broke so many things in the house and blamed them on each other.”I shake my head with a smile. “Typical boys. Ronnie tried to do that to me too, but our parents always believed me.”“And sometimes it was yo

    JENNI“Noodle, get out of the noodles.” And this is where she got her name. When I rescued her from the local animal shelter, I had a bowl of noodles I was about to eat, and she buried her tiny head in it and started chowing down.This crazy cat will eat noodles right out of my hand and loves to bat at them. She’s like a little orange mini tiger too, always attacking things. She likes to perch up high and look over the house like it’s her personal kingdom, so I got her a massive kitty playground. It may or may not be taking up half my family room in the basement. That entire space is dedicated to Noodle. I figure if I can’t fill my house with children, I can at least give Noodle the best life possible.I walk over to where Noodle is feasting on a container of leftover spaghetti I needed to put back in the fridge from my cooking lesson earlier.My doorbell rings, and I go to open it to find Langston standing on the front step.“What’s up?” I open the door wider for him to come in.He w
