Whitney Russell smiled as her best friend Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald hugged her long lost brother Antonio. Everybody was surprised when Luis called to say not only did he find Sheridan but he also found Antonio. Pilar couldn't have been any more happier. But some questions still needed to be answered. Like what made Antonio run to Bermuda? Or better yet who made him run to Bermuda? There was no doubt in everybody's mind that the Cranes had something to do with it. Whitney walked into the kitchen and reached for a glass from the cupboard. Her arm froze in place when she saw him.
Chad.
After everybody learned about Antonio, the truth came out that Chad was Whitney and Simone's half-brother. It hurt both girls deeply since both of them loved Chad with all of their heart. But now Simone had gotten over him while Whitney was still having a hard time. Se couldn't get the image of his chiseled chest, his warm smile, or radiant brown eyes out of her mind. But she had too. She sucked in a breath when he stared back at her. Startled, she knocked a glass on the floor. "Great," she muttered to herself as she bent down to pick the pieces off the floor.
"You should really be using a broom instead of your bare hands," a deep sexy voice said.
Whitney looked up to see Antonio grab a broom from the wall and start to sweep. "Thanks Tony."
"No problem Curls," Antonio said with a smile.
Whitney laughed at the nickname that he called her ever since she was five. Whitney took the time to look at him. He was wearing a pair of jeans and a black shirt that clung to his arms nicely. Whitney had never told anybody this but when she was little she had a little crush on him. And she felt the crush start to come back. 'Quit it Whitney,' she chided herself. 'He's like 28 years old for god sakes!' 'But you are 21,' she thought with a smile. Whitney snapped out of her thoughts when she saw Antonio put the broom back on the wall.
"So were you thinking about when you dropped the glass?" Antonio asked her.
"Just life in general. So how are you doing? Whitney sat at the kitchen table with a glass of water while Antonio leaned on the counter.
"Great considering that the woman I was falling for is my younger brother's fiance."
"I'm not going to tell you I am sorry because I know you are tired of getting sympathy from everybody."
"Thanks. So what's going on in your love life Whitney?"
Whitney blushed at the fact that Antonio was asking her such an intimate question. "Well the man that I did love turned out to be my brother."
"Ouch," Antonio replied.
"I know." Whitney walked to the window to see Chad kissing a girl with short brown hair. She felt her heart break. 'Well he is sure over you,' she thought bitterly.
"Is that him?" Antonio asked.
Whitney didn't dare turn around because she felt how close Antonio was standing towards her. She could feel the heat radiating from his body and she felt a chill run up her spine. "Yeah. I have to go."
She grabbed her keys and purse and ran out the front door. "God Whitney what is with you?" she wondered aloud.
