Erin smiled towards the two brothers, her eyes never leaving Jeff as she looked at him.
"So two to one, I'm still the winner." Matt said as he pushed past his brother and towards Erin and Zack.
"Erin, it's nice to see you again." Matt smiled as he pulled Erin into an unexpected hug.
"It's nice to see you too." Erin said as she hugged Matt back. Matt released Erin after a few seconds and pulled Zack into a hug.
"Hey little man." Matt said and he felt Zack tense up next to him.
"Listen Zack, I want you to know that neither my brother nor I is going to hurt you. You're safe here." Matt said to him as he looked him in the eye.
Zack nodded and hugged Matt unexpectedly. Jeff walked over to the three of them, but stood off to the side.
"Jeff go upstairs and finish that room for me while I get dinner started okay?" Matt asked turning to his brother and watched as he just nodded before heading upstairs.
"Does he need any help with anything?" Erin asked as she watched Jeff head upstairs.
"I don't know but if you want to help feel free to go upstairs and see. It is the second door on the left." Erin nodded at Matt who led Zack into the kitchen before heading upstairs.
Erin knocked on the door before popping her head in.
"You need any help with anything?" She asked Jeff and watched as he stared at her intently.
"Sure.." Jeff said, trailing off before lifting a box up.
"What would you like me to do?" Erin asked entering the room and looking at the miscellaneous items and boxes scattered everywhere.
"Actually if you want you can just sit on the bed and keep me company." Jeff said and Erin took his advice sitting down.
"So tell me about yourself Jeff." Erin said casually as she looked around the room and noticed that most of the decoration had been done for a child. She figured this was Zack's room.
"Well wrestling is one of my many passions. I'm also and artist and a musician. But after that I'm a caring and sensitive guy who loves animals." Jeff said, lifting another box he placed it into the closet before turning to look back at her.
"Tell me about yourself." He said as he looked into her blue eyes.
"Well my parents died when I was 20 and Zack was 3 so I got custody of him. I moved in with Derek shortly after that thinking he really loved me. He was great at first. I love music and animals." Erin finished as she looked up into his eyes. They remained staring at each other for a few moments. The space between them began to get smaller and that was when their lips touched slightly.
Erin pulled back, not sure what to think.
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you." Jeff said as he began to back away.
"No, don't apologize. Just tell me this, did you want to do that or was it an accident?" Erin asked, not letting hope get the best of her.
"I honestly don't know. I mean my girlfriend of forever just left me a little while ago and I just don't know." Jeff said and he watched as the shimmer of happiness that had appeared in Erin's eyes just disappeared.
Without thinking Jeff pulled Erin up and into him. Wrapping one arm around her waist, he used his free hand to tilt her chin upwards. He pressed his lips to hers in a sensual and sweet kiss.
The sparks he felt running through him made him run his tongue across her bottom lip, begging for entrance. Erin pulled back, unsure of what was going on.
"I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. That was stupid. I'm leaving now." Jeff said, completely forgetting he was supposed to finish that room, and walked out of the room and into his own where he laid down on his bed and replayed the kiss over in his mind.
