Sorry, I've been on vacation in Vegas and didn't have a chance to upload before I left, but here it is. The next Chapter. Enjoy
Later on Mia decided to make dinner instead of eating out as they had done all week. She made hot dogs and bought a few bags of chips since it would be easier to clean up afterwards. The fewer the dishes, the better off they were- or the better off she was.
Once again they all sat in front of the TV eating. Vince and Ebony were off on their 'date'. She had been shocked when Vince told her that Crimson had only been testing him to make sure he wouldn't hurt Ebony since Ebony had had a crush on him for years. Her friend never mentioned it to her, although now that she thought about it, Ebony blushed and became quiet when Vince was around. She shrugged they were a cute couple together.
She glanced over at the others and found it odd that they all sat in the same spot every time. Except now Damon sat on the floor near Serena since she still sat next to Dom on the couch. He was always over now, practically lived there. He slept in Serena's room which worried Dom even though he tried to hide the worry. She knew Serena and her boyfriend would be getting the dreadful 'talk' from Dom soon. It was always a hoot to watch big brother sweat while he explained sex to his younger siblings. He had been so nervous when he talked to Mia, she had to watch him talk to Serena. He always stuttered or bit his lip or rubbed the back of his head. It made Mia laugh just to think about it.
Brian looked at her, hearing her laugh. "What's funny?"
She shook her head, "Nothing, hon. I was just thinking of something."
A few minutes later Serena and Damon threw their paper plates in the trash and went upstairs, talking along the way. Mia heard the door shut upstairs, she ignored it and continued to watch The Simpsons on TV, trying to take her mind off what was bound to happen. Oh yeah, she felt sorry for Serena. This was going to be embarrassing if it happened at all.
Mia heard her sister giggle upstairs, before hearing her laugh louder along with Damon. Out of the corner of her eye she looked at Dom. He was looking up the stair case. He fidgeted in his seat and tried to focus on the television show in front of him. He sighed and folded his arms across his broad chest.
Mia had to contain herself from laughing. Watching her brother fidget and try to ignore what was going on upstairs was killing her. She could tell he wanted to go up there. It was killing him to just ignore it. Even if his eyes were on the screen his mind was wondering what was going on in his baby sister's room. She was up there with her boyfriend, with the door shut. She knew it was only a matter of time before Dom lost it and pulled them aside for 'the talk'.
The laughter grew louder and Serena squealed followed by a 'thump' as something fell.
Dom stood up and Letty glanced at him warningly. "Dom!"
He turned to her, "Not this time Letty. I've ignored it for way too long. I'm going up there."
"I'll go with you," she rolled her eyes and went to get up.
Dom shook his head at her, "This is something I gotta do on my own."
Letty sat back down, "Alright, good luck. I'm telling you, Serena isn't stupid. She wouldn't have sex when her brother was at home."
"I'm going to make sure she doesn't have sex even when I'm gone," he said, ascending the stairs quickly.
Mia let out the laugh she been holding in. "I thought I was going to die."
Brian smiled, now knowing what she had snorted about. "You knew all along he was going to go up there?"
She nodded, "He looked the same way he did the day he told me."
"And look what good it did," Letty teased, leaning her head on her hand.
Mia stuck her tongue out at her, "Least I'm not pregnant. So it did work…I feel sorry for Serena though."
"Why?" Brian asked.
"She's talking about sex with Dom with her boyfriend in the room. That's as fun as sitting in Geometry class staring at the problem on the board and hoping it'll disappear."
Brian winced at that, "Good point. Dom's the last person I'd want to talk too."
Mia looked up the stair case. "Tell me about it."
~*~*~
Dom hurried up the stairs and down the hall. He opened the door to Serena's room, not bothering to knock, just walked in. Serena was on the bed, lying on her stomach, Damon on the floor on his back both gasping for air. He frowned at the scene.
"We got in a tickle war and Damon fell off the bed. I won," she grinned childishly and sat up. She was wearing a tank top and a pair of black boxers. Damon was in his undershirt and boxers, Dom noticed, as Damon moved to his sleeping bag on the floor.
"I want a rematch," he huffed.
"Sore loser," she muttered grinning.
Damon moved towards her, "I'll give you 'sore loser'."
"How bout not?" Dom shut the door and sat by Serena. "We need to…uh…talk?"
"I'll leave the room," Damon said, moving towards the door,
"No, you stay. You need to hear this too," he said sternly.
Serena groaned and put a hand on forehead, shaking her head.
"What?" Dom asked.
"Dom," she groaned, looking at him. "Not now. Please not now."
Dom shrugged, "Your eighteenth birthday is right around the corner."
"No, not now," she said glancing at Damon who stood clueless as to what they were arguing about.
"Have to, Serena."
Serena fell back on the bed, "Dom, not 'the talk'."
"Ohhh," Damon nodded understanding.
"Yes, 'the talk'," Dom rubbed the back of his head and bit his lip. "You t-two are young adults here. And-uh- I-I know hormones rage and all that. You two know about s-…sex," Dom's voice squeaked at the word and he cleared his throat before continuing. Serena buried her face n her pillow shaking her head. "You know h-how its done and…all that."
"Do me a favor and spare the embarrassment. Get to the point," Serena said, lifting her red humiliated face up.
"Well I just don't want you two making any…mistakes. I know your birthday is right around the corner, but it doesn't mean you have to go out and…h-have…s-s." Dom couldn't even say the word.
"Sex," Damon filled in for him. Dom nodded and Damon grinned. "We're not going too. Believe it or not we already talked about that topic."
"You did?" Dom asked raising his eyebrows.
Serena nodded, "Yeah, we decided it's not the right time. We haven't known each other long. Kissing's good for right now."
Dom let out the breath he had been holding in relief. Thank God his sister was easier to talk to then he thought. He was hoping she'd say that and hold off on…sex for a while at least. It relieved him a lot to hear her say that. It felt like the world was lifted off his shoulders and it gave him one less thing to worry about. He sighed and patted her leg. "Goods girl. Stay that way. Hey, maybe you can remain a virgin for the rest of your life."
Serena raised an eyebrow. Dom shrugged. "I tried." He kissed her forehead. "Thank you for making that decision and making this easier on me."
"Thank you for not embarrassing me," she said, sarcastically.
"Hey, you'll do this with you kids too…thirty years from now when they're bout to turn eighteen."
"Not that long…but yeah, you're right."
"When am I not?" he said getting off her bed.
"Well there-," she started but Dom interrupted her.
"That was a rhetorical question - thank you very much," he grinned, knowing she would have gone down the list forever and soon Letty ands Mia would be in on it. Then he'd never hear the end of it.
He looked at Damon, "And thank you for understanding my sister and for making a good choice- not many guys can do that."
"I'm not most guys," Damon shrugged.
Dom smiled and opened the door, "I'm glad you're not." He left the room shutting the door behind him. He smiled as he walked down the stairs and sat next to Letty.
"You're smiling?" Letty mocked in a terrified tone.
"Did you kill Damon?" Mia asked teasing him with her.
He laughed heartedly, "No, it went well. They're smart kids - young adults. They made a good decision," he corrected himself. His sister wasn't a 'kid' anymore, at least not physically. Now she was a young adult. He heard another laugh and thunk from her room and chuckled. A young immature adult he corrected himself once more.
