I lay on my bed listening to music and mindlessly flip through a bunch of prestigious college applications. Greer's idea of course. My mind drifts to memories of the past and I can't help but feel grateful to still have her in my life.
This past year has been crazy. Greer's parents got a divorce and it nearly broke her into pieces. In fact we even split up for a while because she went through thus like crazy anger/depression phase. It was the hardest 3 months of my life without her by my side and it made me realize how much She means to me.
So... Here I am looking applications to Harvard, Yale, Oxford... The list goes on and on of "Greer approved" schools. But if we want to stay together and possibly move in together when we graduate...
"Brenna!" my mom yells interrupting my thoughts of college and Greer.
"What?" I say turning down my music to hear.
"Come down here, I.. Uh... Would like to talk to you.. B-before our... Um... Guests get here for dinner." my mom stutters out dryly.
What the heck is wrong with her? I wonder as my brows instantly mash together.
"What's up?" I say as I lean against the island in our kitchen. I watch her closely as she moves around the kitchen frantically. She seems really nervous. She has been dating some guy for a while now and he's finally coming over to meet the family.. Yay. Not. I hate these kinds of dinners.
I almost wish that things would have worked out between her and Uncle George.. as awkward as that sounds. I think as I run down the stairs. But apparently their history ran too deep for them to start over again, makes sense though.
"Bren I... Just want you to understand... I didnt mean for this... " she says shaking her head immediately as I walk into the kitchen. I am so dumbfounded as to whats going on that I just don't say anything. All I do is look at her and wait for her to go on but she doesn't. Finally she just buries her head in her hands and lets out an exasperated breath.
"We are both adults here mom. What?" I say with a very confused tone as I walk over to her and reach out to touch her arm.
The doorbell rings and my mom nearly jumps out of her shoes and I am now starting to freak out. Why is she so worried? Is she dating an ax murder?
I look down at my apparel and smile. Red tank top and some black baggy sweats. Wouldn't want the poor guy to think I actually cared enough to get ready for him.
I chuckle to myself quietly.
I catch my mom looking at me admiring my sluggish appearance and if looks could kill... I instantly wipe the smile off my face and watch her walk to the door.
As she opens the door my mouth drops to the floor for two reasons.
1. Mr. Danville and Greer are standing there and she looks as horrified as me. Are we in trouble?
2. Greer looks... Smokin hot. Like "damn girl!" hot. She's wearing fish net tights, a sleeveless tight fitting little black dress that barely covers her butt, red high heels and she has a lot of make up on. Slutty. But so hot.
I stare at her and I think I'm starting to drool. I can't hear anything or see anyone around me. Just her. Her expression changes from horrified to sly as she sees me checking her out. She turns to the side and models for me with a smirk and I can't help but laugh. What a nerd. But what is she doing here with her... Instantly my eyes reluctantly pull away from Greer and I see my mom hugging... Mr. Danville.
"What the hell?!" I yell making everyone jump. Silence fills the room as the two adults still cling to each other.
"Brenna I-I'm... So sorry I should've told you." my mom says softly looking like I'm about to hit her.
My first instinct is to turn and run up to my room and never come out. She's dating Mr. Danville! My girlfriend's dad! Is she trying to ruin my life?! I mean I always wanted Greer to be a part of my family just not as.. my freakin stepsister!
I turn halfway to make a mad dash up the stairs but I stop.
A small smile comes to my lips and I decide not to run away. Something even better comes to My mind. Now I know what the sluttish get-up is about I think as I walk swiftly towards my girlfriend. She didn't want to impress anyone either, but she did. Me.
I grab Greer by the shoulders and push her against the door frame And kiss her fiercely. She freezes and tries to pull away but then relaxes as she starts to understand. Instead she now deepens the kiss, opening her mouth so that I can slip inside.
"Brenna Carver stop that right now!" my mom yells as she snaps out of her shock of seeing Greer and I like this. She grabs my arm and pulls me back.
"What the hell is wrong with you two?!" she exclaims glancing back and forth between the two of us.
" Wrong with us?! You two have been dating for months and you didn't tell us! What's wrong with us? What the hell is wrong with you?" I spit back at her coldly.
"Come on Greer let's go up to my room and have sex or something." I turn and say to her casually, trying to make things as awkward as possible.
I think I have succeeded because Greer turns as red as a tomato and her sapphire eyes go so wide, they are more white than blue. Everyone is once again in shock. To shocked to move or speak apparently; so I shake my moms hand off my arm and grab Greer by the hand and guide her up the stairs.
If things weren't interesting enough before tonight, this is definitely going to liven things up.
