In The Blink Of An Eye

Here Goes Nothing

While we both laughed, we made it back home and entered the house where my sister was sitting in the living room. When she saw us come inside the house, she looked at us like she saw ghosts. She immediately put her head down when she saw Jake half naked.

"Have you lost your mind? Put some damn clothes on" she exclaimed.

"I am so sorry Aileen, I didn't know you were going to be up."

He immediately rushed into the room and when he left, she picked her head up and looked at me. Suddenly, she began to laugh.

"You look like you just had sex. Wait...you had sex didn't you? OH MY GOD!!!"

"Aileen, will you keep your voice down?"

"What the hell, are you naked under that?"

"Aileen!!!"

"How was it??? Was it good, what did you guys do?"

"AILEEN! WHAT HAS GOTTEN INTO YOU?"

"What?? I just want to know how it was."

"It was fine, now change the subject. Why are you up at this time?"

"Fine?? It was fine??? That's it? You waived for years to screw that man and it was just fine?"

"Heheh I didn't screw him first of all..."

"Okay okayyyy you made "love" either way...how was it?"

"It was incredible!!! I have never experienced something like that before."

"I KNEW IT!!! Now I bet you wish you gave it up to him sooner huh?"

"No, I'm actually glad she didn't. It was definitely worth the wait" exclaimed Jake.

"Wow, you look different with clothes on."

"Hehe shut up Aileen, leave him alone."

"So, what's this I hear about you and Viktor?"

"Madisyn!! You told him???"

"Sorry, it must have slipped out," I said.

"Yeah yeah slipped out, sure."

"So? Are you guys in love?" Asked Jake.

"I will answer it only if you answer my question first. Are you actually going to let that man back into Madisyn's life?"

"Hey!!! I already talked to you about that once before. We are not starting that subject again" I shouted.

"I was talking to Jake."

"Aileen, I love your sister more than life itself. I won't let anything happen to her just the same way I won't let anything happen to the rest of you."

"How can you trust him again after what he tried to do?"

"I don't trust him at all. I'm just going to make him believe that I do and I hope you actually help me because if he thinks you're not after him, he might be more comfortable at making mistakes if he is going to make some."

"No, I can't be around that man again, not after what he did to me."

"Think of it this way, if he helps us find the man without a face, all this will be over. You will get to be with Viktor, I get to be with Madisyn and marry her and your niece gets to finally be a kid and be free."

She just looked at him without saying anything and then looked back at me. I didn't want to say anything because I knew how much she thought that I wanted this man part of my life for some reason. I was just hoping she would listen to Jake and he'd get to change her mind. I didn't want Aileen around that man just as much as she didn't want to be around him. For God sakes, she's my sister and he tried to kill her. There is nothing he could have ever done that would make me forgive him for that. I only wanted him to help me find the man without a face, nothing else.
