Chapter Seventeen
~The Next Day~
The next day, Jeremy woke up to the sound of rain pounding on the roof. Jeremy slowly sat up on his bed, and then Gordo came in.
"Oh, good. You are up. How did last night go?"
"Last night was fun," Jeremy said groggily. "How was the party?" He asked as he rubbed his eyes.
"It was a lot of fun. Thank you so much for last night. Your mother and I really appreciate it."
"Oh, you are welcome."
"Oh, and today, you don't have to do this if you don't want to, but Miranda, your mom and I are going holiday shopping today, and I invited Ana and Paul to come and play with you guys. We will be gone for a few hours, and it won't be like babysitting because you really don' have to do much. Is that okay with you?"
Jeremy got out of his bed. "Sure, that sounds fine with me. No problem."
Gordo smiled. "Thanks. Breakfast is downstairs."
Jeremy trudged down the stairs, where Ben was playing a game on Nintendo and Olivia was eating breakfast.
"Good morning," he said as he patted her on the shoulder as he headed to the counter.
"Morning. Thanks again for last night."
"Ah, don't mention it. I had fun, believe it or not and it was good to have that experience."
"Yep. Plus, you got to spend quality time with your favorite sister. Next time, you get to pick what we do."
"Good. I hear Monster Truck Rally was coming out New Years Day." Jeremy said as he sat down next to her with his breakfast.
Olivia's expression on her face looked disgusted. "Trucks? In the freezing cold winter?"
"Hey, I am only kidding. I think it is sold out anyway."
"Good," Olivia said as she got up to put her dishes in the sink. "You know, Jeremy, Ana is coming to our house today."
"I know."
"Have any plans with her?"
"Nope. I just want to point out to you that even if I liked Ana, I would never go out with her."
"Why not?"
"Well, because I remember when she is born. I was three."
"Yeah, but now you are only sixteen and she is a whopping thirteen," Olivia pointed out.
"It would never work out anyway."
"Yeah I guess so. I mean, you are both Pisces, and that means your relationship is doomed."
Jeremy rolled his eyes. "Exactly. Yep. It just isn't written in the stars for us."
"Ha-ha. Jeremiah is trying to be funny. . .and he is failing miserably."
"Oh, shut up, Olive-breath."
"Fine. Just tell me one thing," Olivia said.
Jeremy looked at her waiting for her to say it.
"Tell me that you don't have any feelings for Ana at all," Olivia said.
With that comment, Jeremy stood up and left.
"Oh, come on, Jerry. You know you love her!" Olivia screamed to him as he walked into the room where Ben was playing.
Did Jeremy like Ana? He was afraid he was falling for her. He didn't want this to happen, though, for various reasons. One, they were three years apart in age. Two, their parents would probably have issues with the age difference. Three, he doesn't really live here, as he goes to boarding school, so the relationship would not work out as well.
All of this was true, but suddenly it occurred to him that three years age difference was not as much now as it was ten years ago, when he was six and she was three. Also, boys and girls have different ages of maturity levels and girls mature faster than boys, and Ana definitely seemed mature for her age.
He was thinking ahead, though. Ana probably did not like him. He also figured this may have had something to do with the fact that she was one of the first girls he saw when he came in town and had a pleasant conversation with.
Later that morning, Lizzie took everyone to go rent some movies for the afternoon, as it was raining and their activities might be limited for the afternoon. They all rented various movies and picked up a pizza for lunch and then came back home.
At around noon, Ana and Paul came by and Lizzie and Gordo left with Miranda.
When they came in, Jeremy was in his room and on his computer talking to a few friends from school. He was talking to his friend Evan in his Chemistry class about politics, and didn't feel like going downstairs.
Meanwhile downstairs in the living room. . .
"Hey, Ana."
"Hey, Olivia! How are you? Did you have fun at the concert?"
"Wow! I can't believe you remembered! The concert was so much fun!"
"It sounded like it was fun. What did Jeremy think of it?"
"Well, Jeremy says he had fun, and I think he did."
"Oh. Is he here today?"
"Yeah. Why?" Olivia said and smiled.
"Oh, I was just wondering if he was here, or you know, our with friends or something."
"What friends?"
"I don't know. Friends from middle school or you know, a girl friend or maybe visiting a friend or something."
"Oh. No, he does not have a girlfriend," Olivia said.
"I never asked if he did. Anyway, so, is Lang Cooper as hot as he looks in the music videos?"
"Hotter."
"Good."
"Ana?"
"Yes?"
"I am glad you could be here today."
"My pleasure."
"Ana?"
"Hmmm?"
"Do you have a crush on my big brother?"
