“You know what? Just leave it to me,” Avi continues. “It’s about time I put end to it and sort it out. But I should warn you: if she tries something, or God forbid hurts my future wife, I won’t hold back. Perhaps this whole concept of living together is too much for me. Maybe we should move to a bigger house?” He flashes a wide smile at me.
“Avi, I can’t be a part of this, I’m so sorry, but this just isn’t my place,” I gently get up and clear up the empty plates. “I’m going to get some fresh air outside, okay? Work this out,” I kiss Michael on the cheek, hug Avi and immediately head out.
It’s hard not to overhear their conversation, but I’m proud of myself for rising above the occasion. This isn’t my battle to fight. I need to respect the fact that they have their own separate relationship, too.
A couple of minutes pass by.
“Sam!” Michael cries out. “Please, come inside.” He hugs me tightly and sits me on his lap. “I really am sorry.”
“What for? It’s your sister, you didn’t do anything wrong, Michael. You’re both adults; I would never let my opinion of her reflect on you.”
“I’m afraid that she’ll hurt you,” he confesses. “She’s crazy, she has this insane competitive streak.”
“How could she hurt me, Michael?”
“I don’t know. She might come and humiliate herself even more than she already has.”
“I’d be happy to talk to her, if you’d like. She’s your sister, which means that she’s part of our family, too.”
“Are you serious?” He seems surprised.
“Yes, gladly. If she’d be interested. But I should warn you and her – don’t you dare hurt Roy. She’d better not say something to him about us or upset him to punish me. I’ll always protect him, no matter what the circumstances. That’s where I draw the line!” After all, I have no idea what she’s capable of and it’s important to stay vigilant.
“God forbid! Of course not! She isn’t that cruel, I can assure you,” he looks at me helplessly.
“So, let’s wait and see how it goes. I’m sure she isn’t as bad as you say she is.”
Avi smiles.
“My love, you have been officially anointed a queen. You’re my heart’s desire. I’m confident that you’re the only one who could get through to her!”
“What makes you so sure?” Michael inquires curiously.
“Because good conquers evil, and beauty outshines cruelty,” he gets up dramatically and steps out to the yard.
“Let him be, Michael,” I ask. “It’s pointless. There’s no reason to get into an argument. Just wait for her to arrive; we’ll handle it responsibly and sensitively. If there’s anyone who knows what being in love with Avi means, it’s me.”
“You’re right,” he smiles.
“Trust me, we’ll get through this. I have to work things out with her. We still have our whole life ahead of us, you know.”
“Fine, we’ll wait,” he kisses the tip of my head and hugs me warmly.
Michael’s phone rings a couple of hours later.
“It’s Michelle, she’s here,” he announces.
“Hang on,” Avi cries out. “Where’s the red carpet? Where the hell did I put it?!”
“Avi, come on, stop it! I’m going to pick her up. We’ll be back soon,” Michael leave quietly.
About an hour passes by.
“...yes, but what’s with all the suitcases? How long are you intending to stay? Are you completely cuckoo?” Michael comes inside dragging two huge suitcases.
Michelle follows behind him. She’s dressed in tight leather pants, a white sweater with elbow-length sleeves, and impressive black high heels. Her dark blond hair reaches all the way to her breasts. She looks a lot like Michael, but a female version. She could easily be any man’s muse.
“Welcome!” I announce, “nice to meet you.”
