Hidden Desire
It's been thirteen years since Tyler has seen Mikey for more than just a handful of minutes in a passing visit. A ten year age difference hadn't stopped her crush, not after the fateful day he'd saved her life; he'd been home for Christmas, visiting his sister Val, who's married to Tyler's older brother, Reggie. Val had given birth to their first baby on Thanksgiving, and that Christmas was the first time Mikey was coming home to see him. As Tyler had been leaving the house, she'd slipped on the ice, hitting her head and knocking herself out. If Mikey hadn't found her when he did, rushed her to the emergency room, she would have died of hypothermia. That's when her obviously unreciprocated crush had started. She'd known him all her life. She was nothing more than his best friend's kid sister, the one he barely saw since making it to the N.B.A. and having spent the last ten years playing out in California. But he's home now, having been traded to Washington, the same city Tyler just happens to be going to school in. At twenty-one can she finally catch his attention? Can she finally tell him about her crush? The one she's had for the last five years. Will he ever see her as anything other than his best friend's little sister?Complete
