“How long has this been a thing?” A car door slammed and heavy footsteps grew louder up the driveway.
“Too long.” She lifted her eyebrows.
Wolfgang appeared following the path to the front door, “Hello Brittanya,” He did a double take to June, “Oh, June as in Juniper. Huh, twice in one day?” He smiled.
“Hey Wolfie.” Brittanya greeted him with a side hug and Juniper just faked a smile trying her best to stay cool.
“So it won’t register you guys even trying to get in?”
“No.” Brittanya said with her arms folded.
Wolfgang placed his palm on the door and it turned green and unlocked. “Huh. Are you sure this is your house?” He joked.
“Are you serious?” She dropped her hands. “Let me try.” Brittanya repeated the motion and the pad turned green and unlocked. “Wow. We look dumb.”
“It happens.” He smiled. “Call me if you need help unlocking your door again.”
“Thank you.” Brittanya opened the door. “See you later.”
“Bye Brittanya.” He stepped to the side, “Juniper.” He smirked as his lips spoke her name and his eyes pierced through her.
“Bye.” June exhaled in response.
“So.” June closed the door behind her. “If that’s who that is, is he off limits?”
“Shh.” Brittanya walked down the hall and looked in Shianne’s room. “Okay, I had to check. I’m sure she would have heard and been outside, he has such a deep voice.” Brittanya followed June into the kitchen. “And no he’s not, that’s not fair to him. Shianne is a big girl.”
“So,” June got a cup and filled it with water, “Can I like him?”
Brittanya gasped, “I thought I felt some weird tension out there.”
“What about Shianne?”
“Listen, they grew up together, Wolfie doesn’t like her like that at all. I am very aware that he doesn’t.”
“Why do you call him Wolfie?”
“Everyone does.”
“I don’t think I’m ready to date.” June revoked her feelings.
“Why do you say that?”
“The day I came here, I woke up in a relationship. He knew nothing about me leaving and that was two days ago. He probably thinks I’m still in town somewhere, not that I left the entire continent.”
“Shouldn’t it be easier to move on, if he was abusive?”
“Not when he still has a grip on every thought.” She tightened her hand around her glass zoning out. “You stay with someone like that, your brain gets reprogrammed.”
“I’m sorry June but I think if you two hit things off, you should go for it. He’s a really good guy, might be what you need.”
June placed her cup in the dishwasher, “We will see how it even goes.” Her optimism was shot down by her thoughts of Ben and of Shianne. She didn’t feel like she deserved it. “I’m going to take myself up on that nap.”
“Alright June.” Brittanya sat on the couch and turned the television on with her phone.
