When I woke up, I got a new message from Jimmy and smiled at him, him telling him how much he loved me and how much he couldn’t wait to be with me again. Gosh I loved this man, he was everything I ever wanted in a man. He was tall, had amazing blue eyes and this sense of humor that always brightened up my day. He was the best drummer that I had ever met and that lips of his made me crazy. I loved hearing him talk.
I got in the shower and came downstairs to a surprise visit from my brother and his wife, smiles plastered on their faces. They were so happy they looked like they were going to burst, why, I don’t know.
“Hey Johnny,” I smiled and came and hugged my brother tightly which in return I was lifted off of the ground and spun around in circles making me laugh. I guess this would be a good time to tell him about Jimmy and I. He was happy and it seemed like if I told him, he would be happy about it and not be Mr. Grumpy.
“I have news you guys!” Johnny said setting me down. I brushed my hair from my face and looked at my brother who was grabbing onto his wife’s hand with a huge smile on their faces. My parents were sitting at the table drinking their coffee and wating their breakfast, both of them making us eager to know what in the world was happening.
“I do too,” I smiled at my brother and my aunt. My brother demanded that he would go first since he was born first of course and I agreed.
“We’re going to have a baby!” He exclaimed. My heart lifted in my chest, this was so exciting! I am going to be an aunt! But my excitement fell when I looked at them knowing that my brother wasn’t going to like this at all.
“What’s your news sissy?” My brother asked me. I looked at him, my face paling just thinking about it. I was going to tell him that I was sneaking around his back for the past three months being with Jimmy.
“I…I um…I’m dating Jimmy,” I said looking down to my feet scared as heck to look up to meet my brother’s eyes. I know he was going to be furious about it.
“How long?” He asked me gently but I could hear the venom in his words. I swallowed hard, just hoping his wife and or my parents would back me up.
“T-three months,” I stumbled out the words and slowly looked up to my brother who’s jaw was clenched. He was mad, his fists were clenched, he was looking down to his feet. His wife’s touch didn’t really seem to calm him down either.
“I thought I told you,” He said through his gritted teeth, “To not to date that jerk,” He said, finally looking up to me. I wanted to yell at him. He didn’t need to call Jimmy such horrible names when he didn’t do a dang thing to me. He was the best boyfriend I could od asked for, my brother was the real jerk here.
“He’s not the jerk, Johnny, its you who’s being the jerk. Stop. Controlling. My. Life!” I snarled at him and I came and shoved him. He bumped into his wife who actually caught him thankfully and my father stepped in the middle of it.
“You two knock it off,” He said angered looking between the both of us, “Johnny I am really happy that I am going to be a grandpa but do you really have to do this? I mean, your not her parents we are and we said yes to her. She doesn’t need to go to you,” He told him. My mother came and pulled me into the kitchen so that we could talk in private and Dannie came in with us. I needed the girl talk I guess.
It all turned out alright, my brother in the end apologized and him and his wife had left. I was happy to be an aunt and that’s pretty much how the day was until about dinner time when my phone rang and I went outside onto the porch to see that it was Zacky. I was kind of happy to hear from him but then again, it sent my heart into over drive.
“H-hi,” I whispered into the phone as I sat down on the stair of the porch over looking the front yard.
“Hey sweetie…um…do you wanna go and hang out sometime?” He asked me. I sighed, looking down to my feet not sure what I could make of this. I didn’t know if I wanted to hang out with him at all. What if it happened again?
“Is it alright if someone comes with me?” I asked him lightly, “I just…I don’t trust you Zacky,” I said.
“Of course! I totally understand Deanna, but…for the record I won’t ever do that again. Ever,” He told me. I nodded.
“Yeah, look I have to go alright?”
I hung up the phone and ran my fingers through my hair, I just hope this was going to be alright.
