In Another Lifetime

The Secret

'Emi?' Ellie called out as she knocked on her sister's door.

'Come in.' Emika said. 'What's up?'

'Get ready, we're taking you out to dinner.' Ellie smiled.

'I'll be dine in three.' Emika smiled.

Ellie went back to her room to get her mini backpack and headed downstairs to wait for her sister. Chris started the car and waited.

'Ok I'm ready.' Erika said as she walked down the stairs. The two headed to the garage an got in the car.

'Are you ladies ready?' Chris asked. Ellie nodded but Emika was so glued to her phone.

When they got to the cafe, Chris got out of the car first and opened the door for Ellie then Emika. Once Emika was out and she looked up to thank Ellie's boyfriend, she immediately froze.

'Emi?' Ellie snapped her finger in front of her sister.

Emika looked at Ellie who's trying not to laugh, 'Th..the baby d...daddy is... is Chris Evans?' Emika asked as her gaze went back to Chris who now has an arm around Ellie.

'Yup.' Ellie smiled.

'We will talk when we get home.' Emika said as she regained her composure.

'Let's go girls.' Chris led the way, still holding Ellie.

They opened the door then was greeted by Glenn.

'Hey guys, table for two?' He asked.

'For three please.' Chris smiled.

'Alright, right this way.' Glenn lead them to the back corner booth. Chris let Ellie slide in first then he followed, while Emika sat across them.

'The usuals for all three of you?' Glenn asked.

'Yes please, but no martini for me this time. Just melon slushee please.' Ellie smiled at Glenn before he walked off to get their order ready.

'So.' Emika started. 'How did you two meet?' She asked in a stern voice.

'Technically we met here. I bumped into him.' Ellie smiled.

'And the rest is history.' Chris teased.

'Mr. Evans, what's your real intention with my sister?' Emika looked at him and waited for an answer.

'I don't have any bad intentions towards your sister. I love her and I will be there for her no matter what. If that's what you were really asking.' Chris answered.

'Alright then.' Emika wasn't really sure how to feel about her sister's relationship. 'I assume you two are public now?'

'Kind of. We have kept everything on the down-low and we would like for it to stay that way.' Ellie answered sounding irritated. Chris noticed this and he put a hand on her leg, squeezing it a little.

The three ate in silence, Chris paid and they all headed back to the car. They drove back home but Ellie asked Chris to stay in the car.

'Ellie Sage, I don't like this. I can't trust him. Do you even know his love life history? I don't want you to get hurt.' Emika said as they got inside the house.

'Emi, I... I don't know what to say. I don't know what to do. Please excuse me,' Ellie walked over to the coat closet and grabbed her mini backpack.

'Where are you going?' Emika asked.

'Home.' Ellie answered as she walked towards the garage door.

'This is your home.' Emika sounded angry.
