Sibling Advice
"So, what do you think?"
Alice panted, slowing down a bit. They had been running together for the last couple of weeks, and she still hadn't developed the stamina to keep up with her older brother—much less talk at the same time. It was October now, the leaves had already started to fall and the cold wasn't helping; it was seeping through her clothes, in spite of the thick hoodie she was wearing and the physical activity. "Yeah… sounds… like… a good… idea."
"Jesus, Allie…" chuckled Edward, stopping for a minute, "we can take a break."
"No… we're… almost… there."
Edward shrugged and kept jogging down the sidewalk. "So, you think I should ask her out, then?"
"Yeah… she… likes… you."
Edward sighed and slowed down a little; they were only half a block from their building. "Let's walk the rest of the way," he suggested.
Alice grunted, breathing harshly.
"So, Bella likes me."
"Yeah… she told me… she thinks you're nice."
Edward nodded, pinching his bottom lip. "She's nice too."
"Of course, she is! She's my bestie."
Edward gasped, and grabbed a handful of fallen leaves from a pile. "I thought I was your bestie!" he mocked, tossing the leaves at her.
Alice shrieked and grabbed more leaves. "You're my brother, so that makes you my brother bestie… my brostie!"
"That sounds horrible!"
They kept tossing leaves to each other, and the wind picked up, surrounding them with leaves, but they stopped when they heard someone yelling at them for making a mess.
They made a mad dash towards their home, laughing all the way back.
"Ask her out next time you see her," Alice said between giggles. "I think you two would be great together."
Edward took off his hoodie, shaking a couple of leaves out of his hair. "I will. Thanks, sistie."
"You're welcome, brostie!"
"What's a brostie?" they both heard their Dad ask as he came down the stairs.
Edward and Alice simply laughed and went to their respective rooms to clean up.
