“You want me to? Don’t you have some friends over the age of twenty-one that would be better at planning a party for you? Not your underaged sister?”
He rests his forearms on his knees and plays with his empty glass before turning his gaze to me. “No one knows me better than you. Besides, I would rather spend my birthday with you than just about anyone.”
“Well, duh.” I flick my hair over my shoulder and he smiles showing all his teeth and for a moment I’m momentarily disarmed and at a loss for words. “But you know what I mean, maybe Monica would be better at that.”
“Monica probably doesn’t even know when my birthday is.” He laughs and stretches his feet out in front of him on the floor and leans back on an elbow.A dark lock of hair falls over his eyes and my hands ball into fists before I can do something crazy like move it out of his eyes for him. Thankfully, he runs a hand through his hair, removing it from his face.
“Who knows when anyone’s birthday is without social media these days.”
“Umm, excuse me, I know your birthday and Monica’s too without looking. And…you don’t know mine?” He cocks a head to the side and for a brief second, I see something that looks similar to hurt flash through them.
“Of course, I do, October fourteenth,” I answer. “The day a star was born,” I say dramatically and he puts a hand over his heart.
“Phew, you almost lost your favorite sister role.”
“Yeeeeahhh right. I’m fairly certain I could crash your BMW, blow through your savings account, and trash your apartment and still be your favorite sister.”
He snorts and pours us both another shot. “Facts. I mean, don’t get me wrong. Mon and I have come a long way and I still consider her one of my best friends but…you…” He smiles. “You’re my favorite person.”
