I have been nursing a crush on Ryan forever, since the first day that Damian brought Ryan home and they were both gangly-looking teenage boys.
“Yes, how are you doing, Ryan?” I walked up to him. I don’t know why I do that. Ryan stands up and pulls me into a warm hug and he smells simply heavenly.
“I am good.”
“What are you still doing with this one here?” I gesture wildly at my brother while I look up at Ryan. He is a big guy and that’s something coming from me considering I am not so short.
“Can’t do away with him. Besides, I couldn’t turn down a relaxing night with my friend..” Ryan grins at my brother and my brother returns it with something even wider.
I shake my head at the both of them and then I go sit down on the couch next to my brother.
“Wait..” He stops me as soon as I sit.
“What?”
“Something is wrong.” He states.And I thought I was hiding it well enough.
“Yeah.” I agree. It is never a good idea to lie to my brother. We have been close since we were very young and I can’t get away with lying to him.
“Declan broke up with me,” I say finally. There’s pity in my brother’s eyes and for a moment, I am very disgusted.
“I am sorry,” Ryan says smoothly.
“I am going to end him.” Damian promises me.
“You are not going to end anyone,” I tell him and I hiss. Damian sulks for a moment and then places a cool hand on my shoulder.
“Are you sure? I will do it for you, sis.”
“Damian,” I say warningly and he drops the subject.
I leave him and Ryan to go into my room to change into something much more comfortable and that consists of my green pajama bottoms and my old pink camisole, hardly sexy but I have long accepted that I have no chance with Ryan.
I sit down next to my brother.
“So you wanna tell me why you are here..” I say to my brother as soon as I settle down.
As my brother is about to start talking, Ryan’s phone rings shrilly distracting my brother from saying what he was going to before.
“I told you to change that annoying ass ringtone man.”
Ryan shrugs. He picks up the phone and he is quiet, his head tilted in concentration. He suddenly stands up and picks up his bag.
“Work?” My brother asks him and he nods.
He walks out of my house and mutters a quick bye to me.
Ryan owns a successful tech company. I watch him walk out and I feel my brother’s eyes on me.
“What?” I ask defensively and my brother has a thoughtful look on his face for a moment but then it’s gone. I think I have hidden my crush on Ryan over the years well enough. There’s no way my brother has a clue about what is going on.
“Nothing. Let me tell you what I am here for.”
“Ugh, what’s it now?”
“I want to start a charity organization.” My eyes widened. I know my brother is kind and since he’s been seventeen, he’s been talking about having his charity organization.
“That’s so cool. I am so proud.” I grin at me and I tackle him into a hug. He pretends like I am suffocating him.
