Chapter 7
Jill
Jason and I pulled up into Merlotte's later that night. I changed into a pair of jeans and a nice shirt while Jason was still in his clothes he wore earlier. I couldn't help but wonder why my sister and her boyfriend would want to meet us for dinner.
Something was going to happen. I don't know, I could feel it.
"You're awful quiet" Jason said.
"Sorry it's just weird that my sister and your enemy want to have dinner with us" I said, still looking out the window.
"Luke was my friend believe it or not but whatever happened down in Texas changed that completely" he said.
I still remained quiet when we got to Merlotte's. I didn't hear the door opening and closing until my door opened, which scared me a little bit.
"Let's just get tonight over with okay?" I asked.
"Do you have a rift between you and your sister?" Jason asked.
"Why?"
"Because from the way you're acting it's like you don't get along" he replied.
"I'm sorry" I said before I let out a breath as I got out of the truck. "Ever since she left home, things were fine but recently, it's like she's changed."
"Try not to worry about it. You got the entire summer here to worry about that, okay? Let's just try to have a nice night for one" he said.
"Fine I'm doing this for you and I want to find more about this Luke guy" I said as we were heading inside.
"Be careful and don't say I didn't warn you."
"Hey. It's me" I said with a wink as we headed inside.
I got to admit. Tonight it wasn't turning out too bad as I thought it would. Well, minus the growing tension between Jason and Luke. I think Kris probably felt it also. I wasn't too sure.
I excused myself to go use the bathroom. I was in there freshing up a bit when my phone buzzed. I looked at the caller ID and saw that it was my dad.
"Hey Dad" I answered.
"Hi honey, how's everything going?"
It's going good, me and Kris are eating dinner out and I was just getting out of the ladies room" I said.
"Okay so you two are finally catching up huh?"
"Yeah and just so you know, she knows about well, you know the cancer" I said softly.
"I had a feeling you were going to tell her but I wanted her to know eventually. So listen, I just want you girls to know that I went to the doctors for the follow up. He said that things are okay for now and he wants to follow up on the next visit in a few weeks."
"Okay and are you doing okay?" I asked.
"I'm doing fine and aren't you supposed to be down there for a little relaxation and for you to catch up as well?"
"I am and I'm just worried about you and so is Kris" I replied.
"I know sweetie and listen towards the end of the summer I might go down and visit you girls and then you and me can drive back up."
"Yeah that's fine just let me know when you're coming down. I know that we'll both be thrilled" I said.
"Okay well I'll let you girls get back to dinner and have Kris call me."
"Kay I will" I said and we both said goodbye. I hung up the phone as I was heading out of the bathroom. I made my way back to the table where the guys and Kris were talking and dinner was served.
"What took you so long?" Kris asked.
"Dad called" I replied.
"Really? How is he?"
"He's good he went to the doctors today and it went fine" I replied.
"Doctors? For what?" Jason asked.
"Just a checkup. No big deal" I replied looking down at my plate. "Oh by the way, Dad might take a visit here at the end of next month."
"Do you think that's a good idea?" she asked.
"If he's careful with his health, then yeah I don't see why not" I said.
"Then I'm all for it. I'll call him later" she said. The four of us got back to eating and chatting a bit. I couldn't help but feel the tension to ease a bit. But I'm not hoping for it to go away completely.
"Jill, I was thinking" Kris said. "Since I'd bailed on you today why not this Saturday we do some sister bonding. We can do shopping and what not."
"I'd like that" I said.
"Coolness, now I got to pray I'm not working that day" she joked.
"Do you have a job, Jill?" Jason asked.
"No I don't. I mean I would've gotten a job but stuff came up" I replied.
"Like what?" Luke asked.
"Just stuff, why?" I asked.
"Well I just want to get to know you, I mean who knows maybe you might be my future sister-in-law someday" he replied.
In your dreams.
I saw the look Kris had on her face like she was shocked. I got up for awhile and headed over to the bar and sat down after I excused myself.
"Bad night?" a voice said to me.
"Not really just weird" I replied as I looked up. I saw that it was a man who was looked like to be in his thirties working behind the bar. He had light brown hair and he had blue eyes. I noticed that he had a beard which was starting to grow in I noticed. He wore a Merlotte's T-shirt and some jeans.
"You're not from around here aren't you?" he asked.
"It's that obvious" I said with a small smile. Before he could say anything else, Jason, Kris and Luke came up towards where I was.
"The guys are going to head out" Kris said sitting next to me.
"Yeah I got a long shift, but I'll give you call when I'm on break" Jason said.
"You don't have my number" I said.
"I gave it to him" Kris said.
"I see. Well, I guess I'll see you around Jason. Luke." I said as both of the guys were leaving but before Jason left, he gave me a hug and a smile before he left.
"Someone's loves you" Kris said.
"Look who's talking" I retorted back. "I thought you said Jason was trouble."
"I did but while you were gone, I did get to know him a bit more since I rarely saw him before and well he isn't that bad of a guy" she said.
"Here you go. Two cokes and rums on the house" the guy behind the bar said, giving us our drinks.
"Thanks oh and Sam, this is my little sister Jill, this is Sam. He owns this place" Kris said.
"Well Jill, hope you're enjoying down here I hope you plan on staying for awhile" he said.
"I am only until the end of August" I said.
He nodded and excused himself to go help a girl who looked like she was having trouble with someone.
"That's Tara right over there. She does have attitude but she doesn't bite unless you get on her bad side" Kris said.
"And you know this how?" I ask with a smirk.
She rolled her eyes before sipping on her drink.
"Kris you think you going to tell Dad about Luke?" I asked.
"I don't know yet, I do want to see how this relationship will go" she replied.
"Well you think you can promise me one thing?"
"Anything" she said.
"Just be careful. I don't know him well and I know that you're just getting to reconnect all over again but be careful, please" I said.
"Okay I will. Only because you're my sister" she said.
"I know" I said as I took a sip of my drink.
A/n: Okay I've made it long enough to update only because I have class and then work almost right after. Thank god I'm off from school for the next two days!
I'm still deciding on whether or not I should write those steamy sex scenes in my story. I know I suck at them but maybe if I read some other lemony stories; it may help or may not. We'll see!
Hope you're enjoying the story so far! Let me know what you like, dislike, what you want to see etc.
See you guys next week!
Signing out for now,
