She sighs, hugging a throw pillow. “But, Kristi, you need to get out there, be normal. Nothing wrong with dating, mingling, sex, before you decide to settle down.”
“Yeah, sure, whatever. Dating and sex, right now, all it is, is a brain cell waster. Seriously. I see it plenty around here. Some girl has sex with some jock, she’s dumped the next day, and she’s suddenly stupid, and failing class. Nope, not for me.”
Emma groans in frustration. “Seriously? How are we related to each other? I think you are the only person that thinks that way. Not all girls are like that.”
“And I won’t be. So enough about that,” I say, going through the take-out drawer. “I’m ordering pizza, you want anything special or just the usual?”
“Pepperoni and extra cheese?” she asks excitedly.
I scoff at that. “Of course. And a side order stuffed crazy bread,” I say grinning, waving the menu in the air.
“Okay, no more talkie, go order,” she demands. Emma excuses herself to the bathroom and I get my phone from my bag.
I place the order and sit on the couch, flipping through TV channels, waiting for the pizza guy to show up. Emma comes back to the living room and I ask, “When will you be moving here?”
“Seth is moving up this weekend actually. Wants to get a job and settled, so he’s not rushing everything later. Daddy really wants me to stay home for a month longer at least. I think he’s worried about being lonely, with us all out of the house,” she says sadly.
“Yeah, Mom left, then me, next is you. We’ll have to make sure to call and visit him often. He’s only an hourish away, I don’t see why once a month, or so, we can’t go visit him,” I tell her. I do worry about him being lonely. He’s always had us girls to fret over.
“Hey, have you talked to Ava lately?” Emma asks settling on my couch.
“Yeah, she was visiting last weekend actually. She’s a damn mess,” I tell her.
“Dad was saying that he’d happily team up with Jeff to hurt Cameron if he wants the help,” Emma says, smirking.
I shake my head. And then realize something. “Wait a minute here. Who is Seth?”
Emma’s face turns pink and she smiles. “He’s my boyfriend, we’ve actually been together six months now.”
I shove her shoulder. “What the hell, Emma, you called me not long ago saying some guy wanted a date, yet you were already dating?” I’m so confused.
“I mostly just wanted to see how you would react, and yeah, wanted a weekend with my man.” She winks.
I shake my head. I’ve warned her about getting involved. “Does Dad know?” I’d be shocked if he did.
“Yes and no. He thinks we’re just friends, nothing more. But he also knows the day I graduate that we will be a couple. Well, we’re already a couple, but then there will be no sneaking around, of course.”
“For God’s sake. Just use protection,” I mutter. The last thing she needs to do is get knocked up by the first guy she sleeps with.
“We haven’t done it yet. Seth said he doesn’t want to do that with me until we’re able to no longer sneak around. He said our first time together isn’t going to be in the back of a car.” She grins and I roll my eyes. Gag.
Thankfully, there is a knock at the door. Saved by the pizza from sweet romance talk.
