-1" hmm that would be nice. We really don't want to stay at the house right now." Lily accepted. I on the other hand was a little skeptical. It wasn't that we weren't used to Joe be hospitable it was that I was worried about how he would react to the secret that we had to tell him
Lilys POV
"So..how have you been since we've seen you guys last?" Stephanie asked us.
"Well our mothers gone and we have to sell the house and Charli has taken up smoking and generally life is a big downer," I replied, "but other than that everything is all good. I guess."
"Now Charli you cant just leave! Where are you going?! Charli! CHARLI!" Heads turned as Charli stomped out the door and I see our very distant cousin by marriage Nick going after her. "C'mon Charli I didn't mean it! It was a JOKE!"
I excused myself from Stephanie as I ran to see what was wrong with Charli and find out what nick had said. I ran outside just in time to see my younger twin sister rolling around in the mud in her new dress with Nick and apparently she was winning. I laughed because Charli hated Nick and even though we weren't related to him he was still thought of as a cousin and in his moronic 21-year-old mind he thought that he was in love with her. But that kid may not have Morelli blood he's still like the rest of the Morelli males. Horny and stupid and working on his way to be a drunk.
"What the hell?!" Joe came running outta the house and grabbed a hold of Charli's waist. "Charli quit kicking. Now what happened? Nick! What did you do?"
"Nothing! I swear. Well… not really nothing. I guess I was a lil disrespectful. I didn't mean any harm. She takes everything I say the wrong way…" Nick trailed off, knowing whatever he said was bound to get him into trouble.
"Charlynne Shannon Morelli! LOOK what you have done! You have other things to do besides wrestling with that boy! Now you get in here or you are in serious trouble young lady!" Angie yelled.
"Aunt Angie, I'm gunna take Charli back to the house and we're gunna change and start packing our things. Joe, I think we'll take you up on that offer. Umm..we'll see you around six-ish?" I said, not willing to let Charli get another chance at beating the hell outta Nick.
"Always the peace make huh sis?" Charli snickered. But that just made me even madder at her than I already was. I couldn't believe that she did that. She makes me want to scream sometimes but she's my baby sister. So I can't help but protect her. Considering that now we were in effect now orphaned. I still havent accepted what our mother said to be the truth whereas Charli is delighted to know that Jack really wasn't our father considering she hated him with a passion. I merely tolerated him until he died when we were 5.
"Charli, maybe if you relaxed a little.." I trailed off since Charli cut me off.
"You know maybe you should take the stick that has been firmly wedged up your ass since the day we were born out! You know you always think that you know what's best for us. You know right now I think that maybe we should be totally up front with Joe. Seeing as he's taking us in I think that we need to tell him. I don't want to be deceptive. He has a right to know!" Charli was pissed and I totally agreed with her but I still thought that we needed to break this gently to Joe.
P.S. I haven't written anything in a long time so lemme know how I'm doin! K? Thanx
