I smiled as I headed toward her bedroom. “Kura!”
“Come here and help me find something to wear!”
It wouldn’t surprise me if she was getting ready to go on a date. Sakura was the flirtatious, social butterfly between the two of us. I made my way up the stairs and to her room, which was just a bit smaller than mine. Since I was the oldest, she decided I deserved the master bedroom. I appreciated the gesture.
Slowly, I made my way into her pink and cream-themed bedroom. Her eyes lit up at the sight of my bags.
“Did you buy me something?”
“Don’t I always,” I teased, setting the bags on the pink velvet bench in front of her king-sized bed. “Where are you heading tonight?”
“I’m not sure, but Tim told me to look good and wear a dress.”
“Tim?” I repeated, following her into her closet.
“Timothy. The entrepreneur I told you about.”
“Ah, yes.” My eyes rolled as I smiled. That man was a drug dealer, and I was sure of that. Sakura was blind to that, though. All she saw was his looks, swag, and money. I just prayed he wouldn’t get my sister caught up. “Since we don’t know the vibe, you can never go wrong with a classic black or red number.”
“Agreed.” I leaned against the doorframe of her closet as her fingers trailed over the several black dresses in her closet. “Okay… let’s see.”
She pulled three black dresses out of the collection and we both agreed on a leather number that I was sure would make Tim feel like the luckiest man in whatever room he took my sister in.
“What happened today to have you shopping like this?” she asked, pointing toward the bags as she placed her dress selection on her bed.
“I had the strangest encounter with Jeremy at the club earlier.”
“Phoenix?”
I nodded, going through the collection of bags in search of the one that held the Sephora bag for her. I’d gotten her another bottle of the Tom Ford Lost Cherry perfume she’d been using like crazy and the new Fenty Beauty foundation to try.
“Yeah. He kissed me.”
“What!” Sakura gripped my arm tightly and turned me to face her. “What the hell are you leaving out?”
Laughing, I handed her the bag so she would release my arm. “Okay, so he randomly came up to me, and before I could even speak to him, he was kissing me.”
She gasped and clutched her chest in true dramatic fashion as her mouth hung.
“Then, he asked me to pretend to be his girlfriend in front of his parents. It all happened so fast… I just said okay and went with it.”
“How did that go?” she asked as we sat on the bench.
“Hmm… like any awkward parent meeting would go I suppose. Jeremy kept the heat off me thankfully, so his mother wasn’t able to ask me the personal questions I could tell she was dying to ask. But when he walked me to my car, I slapped him and told him if he tried it again, I’d feed his lips to Jerry’s dogs.”
Her right hand covered her mouth as she laughed and the left gripped my thigh, but she knew I was dead serious.
“Oh, Jesus. Why did you threaten that man like that?”
“Because he had no business kissing me without my permission.”
“If he would have asked, you would have said no!”
“So?”
Her eyes rolled playfully as she stood. “So, how long are you going to pretend to be his girlfriend? And did he tell you why?”
“Just today and no. We didn’t talk.”
