“It’s hypothetical. Forget it. You’re delusional, and it sounds like your brothers are too. I feel sorry for your sister.”
He coughs and chokes on his water.
Good.
“We’ve been great brothers,” he argues.
“Great. Sure. You’re going to try to marry her off to the first guy you think she’d like instead of being adults and having a conversation with your mom. Why are you so hell-bent on being a bachelor for life anyway?”
“We’ve been over this.”
“Have we? You said it was so you could achieve your goals. Newsflash, you’re about to become partner, you probably live in a high-rise penthouse, and I’m sure you have plenty of money in your bank account, so I’m not sure your original reason holds any weight.” I sound angry for some reason. What do I care? It’s none of my business how he lives his life.
Before he has a chance to respond, I place my hand in the air. “I’m sorry. It’s none of my business. I think I was getting protective of your sister, who I don’t even know. So forget it. Don’t answer that question. I’m going to the restroom.”
I leave before he has a chance to say anything. Once I’m securely in the bathroom, I stare at myself in the mirror. What is wrong with me? I’m such an idiot.
I pull out my phone and pull up my group chat with Beth and Mae.
Me: I need help.
Beth: Come over tonight and we’ll make cookies.
Mae: Yay! Cookie night. I’ll bring the milk, mama.
Me: Thanks girls.
Just like that. No questions asked and my sister and bestie are ready to guide me out of the jungle of emotions I find myself lost in. They might have to send a chopper because I’m in deep.
