“What’s up Levi, how’s my sister?”
“I think I broke her,” I half joked, pulling the jar of jelly out from the fridge.
“Eww…”
“Not like that! I told her I loved her last night.”
“No. No. No,” she repeated.
“Yes. Yes. Yes. And now I can’t even get her to look me in the eyes.”
“There are only three people in this world who have ever said that to her… actually two since I don’t know about the first one; but still… only our grandmother and me. And in all these years, she’s never said it back to either of us. The best I’ve ever gotten was a ‘me too.’ ”
Well at least it wasn’t just me.
“So basically, I’m screwed?”
“Pretty much. But I’m glad you said it. Just give her a while, she’ll reset herself. And it will be like it never happened .oh crap. I have to go Levi, I’m grounded, and if my grandmother sees me on the phone…”
“What did you do?” I asked as I cut my sandwich in half and turned around to wash out a plate.
“I snuck out to see my boyfriend. Don’t tell Thea! Promise me you won’t, you owe me for all the free sister advice.”
“Fine, I won’t tell her—”
Turning around, I found Thea standing in the kitchen with Bellamy on her hip hiccupping as she rubbed her back.
“Okay, bye,” Selene said before the line went dead.
I said bye back, even though the line was dead.
“She has a bottle of gripe water in her bag, can you hand it to me. It’s the clear one,” she pointed.
Nodding, I dug through it for a moment before turning around and handing it back to her.
“How do you know how to do all of this? Most twenty-three year olds would hate spending their weekends like this.”
Finally, she looked to me and smiled. “My grandmother says I was born at forty and by the time I was ten, I could play bridge with the best of them.”
“So that would make you the cougar in this relationship?”
“Is that what I am now?” she asked, holding up Bellamy’s bottle, “I can work with it. But can you really keep your body looking young at fit with all of that?”
Her eyes glanced at the chips, beer and sandwich combo I had going on my plate.
“Don’t even go there.”
She laughed, causing Bellamy to wave her tiny hands in excitement. Shaking her hand, Thea looked up at me.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
