She stopped and looked at him as If he had grown a second head. “What?” she quietly asked. He repeated the question. She looked at him, and said “Do you know something I don’t?”
“Well, the preliminary results are in. It looks like you have a brother.”
She stared at him, mouth open, for 30 seconds. Then she collapsed on the couch, laughing and crying at the same time. He walked over and looked down at her. “I can’t tell if you’re happy or sad.”
She looked up at him and punched him in the leg. “My brother is stupid!” she said. “You can’t even tell if I’m happy! What kind of brother are you!”
He began laughing, “Come here and let me give my sister a hug!” She stood up and they squeezed together. He felt tears on his chest, and he felt a rising down below as well. He backed off a bit and began thinking of how much his life had changed in the last three days. He also wondered how he could deal with this beautiful sister of his, because his body was betraying him.
She looked at him and said, “We need to celebrate a little. Where and how is the only question. You figure that out, I’m going to get a shower.” He sat back and thought about things, deciding to take a shower himself while he figured this out. Scrubbing in the shower, he resisted the urge to touch himself and decided exactly where to celebrate. It had to be in public so he wouldn’t do anything stupid, so he knew where he needed to go.
When she came out, clean and sparkling, he was ready to go as well. He pulled out the truck, an almost brand-new Ram four-door, and told her to get in. Down the road they went for a few miles, then stopping at a dingy looking saloon. “Really?” she asked.
“Trust me” he said. Inside, he was greeted by the only person working
“Hey Mike, got another one huh? I told you I was gonna start warning them!” Looking at Jill, he said “Your two weeks have started. Enjoy the ride but know when to get off young lady!”
Jill just stared for a second, then got an evil smile. “I got this one broken!” she said, “He’s never leaving me!” Mike looked at her, and she whispered, “Just roll with it”. Mike ordered two breakfasts and two shots of tequila with an evil smile at her. She said, “Paybacks are a bitch, someone once told me.” Mike found that hilarious.
After breakfast, he said “You wanted to get in the pool, does that still stand?”
“Sure, but we can’t drink too much. I’m just happy for the first time in…well…forever!” They took a slow ride home, just enjoying the day. Mike was starting to get some ideas, but he found he definitely needed to check in at work as well. He asked if she wanted to come with, and she said, “Why not?”.
Once in the door she said, “Nice place. What do you do here?” Mike said, “Just watch”. He waved hello to a few workers and went to the main office. His secretary Linda was there, very pregnant, and said “Hi boss!”.
Jill stopped and looked at him. “Boss? You run this place?”
“Nope. Just own it. It runs itself!” He went into the office with her, and almost immediately his phone buzzed.
