Adoring Ms. Stevens

Chapter 23

Shiranda's POV

   Deena and I are at the skate park that's around the corner from the beach house.

"So, how are you, sis?"  She says to me.  "I'm doing pretty ok, I guess."  "How are things with you and Aurora?"

My brow raises at the question.  "What do you mean?"  "I mean, like, are things awkward between y'all?  Are y'all good?"

"We're fine."  I get on my board and skate down the ramp.  She ends up rolling next to me.

"That's good."  "What made you ask that?"  "Well, I just wanted to know how things were after you kissed-"

"Wait, she told you?"  I immediately cut her off with a frown, raising a brow.

"Yeah.  She seemed pretty bent up about it."  God-fucking-dammit.  "Why would she do that, though?"

"Maybe she felt guilty because you're my little sister.  I'm ok with it, I just told her to be careful."

"There's nothing to be careful about.  The kiss was a one-time thing.  I didn't even know she was gonna do it.  She caught me off guard."

I skate over to the half pipe, going down it and doing a trick in the air before landing back onto it.

Deena skates around the park, doing her own tricks.  I glide along the rail, continuing to skate and do tricks.

She ends up beside me again.  "How are things with you and Terry?"  "Um, well, we're on a break right now."

"Really?  How come?"  "She wasn't too keen on me dancing with Shayla.  You should've heard her over the phone, she was so pissed.  She acted like I fucked her.  It was just dancing."

We go down the half pipe together, both doing our own air tricks before landing back onto it at the same time.

"I hope things work out for you two."  "Eh.  I love Terry to death, I do, but she be doin' too much sometimes.  It's kinda gettin' old now.  I'm just gonna do my thing until she changes her mind or whatever."

"Whatever you do, I support it."  She smiles.  "Thanks, sis.  Means a lot."
