The Sister - Chapter 5
As I sat in Shane's office waiting for him to arrive, I couldn't help but feel butterflies in my stomach, I knew I would be seeing Paul again that night.I knew it was wrong to do this behind my fathers back, but I couldn't help it, things were just getting really serious between me and Paul, and I had finally decided to ask Shane's advise.
Sitting on the black leather couch, I could help but feel like I was 12 years old again, in Jr high sitting in the principles office, waiting to get my punishment for fighting with Sonja Washington for pulling my hair. If anyone could give good advice I knew Shane could do it, only because he and dad thought exactly alike on most issues. Finally after about 20 minutes went by, Shane walked in surprised to see me sitting on his couch. Shane came over and sat next to me.
Shane said, "Alex, what's going on.you look like you're deep into thought." I said, "Remember, when I got in trouble for the fight in Jr. high with Sonja Washington for pulling my hair, and I asked you how I should tell dad?" He said, "Yea, why?" I said, "Well, you're advise hasn't failed me yet, so I decided to come talk with you first." Shane had a puzzled sort of "my sister is going crazy" look on his face.
He said, "Okay ask away, I'll try and help." I said, "Whew.okay.here goes nothing.I've been seeing someone secretly for the last 5 months now, and it's getting to a serious point in our relationship, Shane I really like him a lot.I'm serious.But I don't know how dad will react when I tell him who it is." Shane said, "Oh my god, it's not the lame ass Bryan Wright from college is it.you know dad can't stand that little prick."
I said, "No, It's a.um. (trying to stall).it's a wrestler from dads company." I blurted it out, and then shut my eyes tight waiting for Shane's head to explode.
Shane stood up from the couch and started pacing back and forth in front of the couch.I said, "Oh Good God, don't do that you look like dad, and you're making me nervous."
Shane said, "That's it.I'm dead.I'm totally dead.I might as well call Marissa and tell her to pack my bags, cause I'm leaving the country." I said, "Why?" He said, "Because when dad finds out you're dating a wrestler, a wrestler from his own company no less.he's going to kill me for not keeping an eye on you." I said, "Shane, please calm down.Listen, dad won't kill you, he might smack you around a little but he won't kill you. I'm sorry Shane, I'm really sorry, but I like this guy and I may even lo." Before I could get the word out Shane put his fingers in his ears and said, "NO! Don't you dare say the L word.You're not old enough to be in.in.Well you know.Who is it.Whose the guy? I wanna know right now, he should of known better then to mess with my little sister, I'm gonna kill him to make it up to dad, so maybe dad will go easy on me."
I said, "Please, this man has bi-cepts bigger then your head, you could have a go at it by swinging and flailing your arms and legs all over but in the end all you'll really have done is give him a cold." Shane said, "Alex, this is not funny, I'm being serious." I said, "Oh yea, and what makes you think that I'm not being serious?"
I stood up and said, "Listen, either you want to help me tell dad, or you don't.but tell me now, otherwise I'll tell dad myself. If you and Steph don't want to help, I'll do it alone." Shane said, "OH MY GOD!!! Stephanie knew about this and didn't warn me." I said, "Chill out, she's only known for a couple of months. I wasn't sure how serious the relationship was going to get, but after a few months, we've decided we want to be a permanent item; we don't want to sneak around anymore, we want the relationship to be serious and long lasting."
Shane said, "Yea, well tell dad, that you've been seeing a wrestler from his company for the last 5 months and you won't have to worry about sneaking around because you'll both be dead. A double murder, just what we need to spice up the family history." I said, "Listen, Not a day goes by, that I don't think of him, I really and truly think I love him.I know five months is a little too short to know, but when you first met Marissa did you automatically know you wanted to spend the rest of your life with her?"
Shane stood there for a second and said, "Shit, I hate it when you use that reverse psychology bullshit on me."
