Sophie Foster has run away from her family to keep them safe, using an ability restrictor to disguise herself as an ordinary human. But what will she do when a mysteriously handsome boy enters her life? How will she tell Keefe she has a crush on thi...
When I woke up that morning, I realized it was super cold.
Keefe got out of bed (looking very hot with his messed up hair and tired eyes) but I couldn't get out of bed.
"Foster, you don't look so good." Keefe noted.
"I'm fine." I insisted, regretting the fake cheeriness I had put into my voice. It hurt my throat. "I'm sure it's nothing."
Keefe raised an eyebrow and then walked out, coming back with a thermometer in his hand. My temperature was 101.2. Darn.
"I'm still fine. Just give me a minute." I mumbled.
"No, you're not fine, Ms. Go-Getter. Come on, you can skip one day of work because of a high fever." Keefe replied.
"But I don't-"
Keefe put a finger on my lips, making my heart flutter as he said, "You need to rest."
"Fine, but no kisses. I don't wanna get you sick." I said.
Keefe pouted.
"Nuh-uh. No. Kisses. Promise?" I asked.
"Fine. I promise." Keefe mumbled.
"Good Keefe." I ruffled his hair. He glared at me, re-closed the curtains so I could sleep, and then kissed the top of my head. "Bad Keefe!" I shouted as he scrambled away.

After taking a quick nap, Keefe came into the room with some chicken noodle soup.
"How's my princess?" He whispered, looking SO hot SO effortlessly.
"I'm good." I said with a smile. He leaned in to kiss me and then muttered something about stupid promises and pulled away.
"Sooo, I had an idea." Keefe said. "Since Fitzy was able to feed you medicine when you were hurt, I get to feed you chicken noodle soup." My eyebrows raised.
"Why?"
"Because why not?"
"Fair enough. Don't get it on the sheets." I warned. He nodded.
After finishing the bowl of soup with lots of complaining, Keefe insisted that I get out of bed and watch a movie with him.
"Whyyyyyy?" I complained as he dragged me out of bed. Those stupid muscles...
"Because movies mean cuddles." Keefe said, plopping me on the couch with Ella. "And there's been a tragic shortage of those today. You gotta make up for it."
I couldn't help smiling in amusement. "Okay."
He put his arm around me, and I snuggled in as Keefe insisted on watching the Lego Batman movie.
When the movie finished, I realized that Keefe was asleep. I kissed his cheek and his eyes popped open.
"I got a kiss!" He exclaimed.
"Yeah, whatever." I mumbled. Keefe still looked really excited, though, as he piggyback ride carried me to the bed. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I heard Keefe whisper, "I love you." And I drifted off to the best sleep of my life.

(Keefe's POV)
The next morning, I got an invitation to a party. From Fitz.
I was about to hit decline when I realized the invitation talked about a free abundance of mallowmelt. I hit accept.
I asked Foster about the invitation. She said she didn't get one.
"But you can still go. Get enough mallowmelt for both of us." She insisted.
"You can be my plus one." I decided. "Fitz won't kick you out. I'm sure of it."
"Okay..." She mumbled uncertainly.
When we were both dressed, I couldn't help staring at my beautiful wife.

"You look so handsome." Foster breathed.
"I know." He said. I pulled her closer, whispering, "But you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."
She blushed and I spun her around before we set off to Fitzy's party.
