All Things End

"You know the fact that we shared one womb for nine months doesn't mean you get to inconvenience me" She grumbled.
"What did I do again?"
She sighed deeply and packed her hair in a bun.
"What did you not do?"
Seth sprang up from the chair and ran to close the door to his room.
"Oops!, I'm sorry"
Jett shook her head, partly in reply to his apology and partly to shake off the memory of another man's naked ass in her guest room.
"You both really tried to be quiet last night but y'all were too loud"
Seth ducked his head.
She took one last look at herself in the mirror and left the apartment.

The classroom was already open when she got there, and there were a few kids playing around.
They all greeted her immediately she came in and she sat down with her phone.
"Hey, Ms jett" the tiny voice said
"Sofie, hi"
"I was right, babies  poop a lot"
Jett smiled "yeah, they do"
"And they cry a lot too, my little brother does and now mummy can't get any sleep" She pulled her bag from her back and handed it to Jett.
Jett placed it on the shelf behind her and turned back to her.
"Yes, that's stressful."
"But my uncle, he's so good with kids"
Jett's heart did not skip a beat at all, thank you.
"Yeah yeah, where's your assignment?"
"Oh, it's in my bag"
Jett searched her school bag and found nothing.
"Oops, it's not there"
Sofie's eyes widened comically
"I put it there, uncle Charles made sure I put it there"
Her eyes became wet.
Sofie was normally like that, she hated being the last one to do anything in class. She was the model student and whenever she did anything wrong, she started crying.
"Hey, Sofie, don't worry,you must have left it at home, you'll find it OK?"
"But I wanted to show you my drawing, I did it myself"
"You can tell me about it, if that helps"
The other students in class were already submitting theirs and this made Sofie want to bawl.
Jett consoled her and distracted her with another exercise.

School was over pretty quickly and every student had gone.
She packed her stuff and went to the reception to catch up with the receptionist James.
James and Jett had some similarities, both were twins, black, and had a huge crush on Charles Endings.
"You know, I hear blue eyed fantasy is coming out soon, I can't wait to cuddle with boo and watch the heck outta that movie"
He said.
"Wait, is it going to have Charles Endings and Julie Steiner in it?"
James nodded.
She smiled "yes yes please, two tickets please because the chemistry is off the roof with those two"
"It's palpable" He whispered
"I agree with you"
"Oh dear" He reached beneath his table and brought a bag out.
"This is for you, sorry I couldn't make it to your party"
Jett took the bag and hugged him "Jay, you shouldn't have"
He looked offended "damn right i should have, if my girl has a party, I'm finna buy her everything I can because she deserves it"
"Thank you so much, Jay"
"You're welcome" He hugged her again "now Go home and go have a life"
They said goodbyes again and she went home.

Seth wasn't home when she got in, so she took a shower, warmed the meal he made for them and sat on the couch, rewatching old seasons of Blue eyed fantasy because she could.
Charles was so handsome in that movie and the way he kissed, Julie's character and paid attention to everything she wanted made Jett like him even more.
It was just a crush tho, they'd not see each other again.

She fell asleep on the couch and woke the sound of her phone ringing.
It was seth calling to tell her that he'd not be coming home for the night.
That left her alone with her thoughts.

Jett shut her eyes and reclined in her chair, waiting and thinking about how things had been for her.
How bad and good things were, and her father...
Her father...
And her mother, that very nice woman who did everything for her and loved her with her brother a whole lot.
Things were pretty much hard when she was a child, she didn't want to relive the memories, it was harder to relive them than pass through them.
Just in time, the door clicked open and Seth walked in holding two bags.
"Yeah, don't help me at all, it's not heavy" He sassed

"You asked so nicely, dickhead" she replied.
He maneuvered his way to the kitchen, dropped the bags and ruffled her hair on his way to the bathroom.
Having her brother so close to her after so many years apart was a relief.
They'd been inseparable since birth.
When Seth traveled abroad for school, it was as if Jett's heart left with him, they kept in touch for long but it wasn't the same.
Now  he's in her house and she's trying to enjoy the moment before it ends.

The bathroom door banged and jerked her back to the present.
The scent of Seth's strawberry soap wafted through the apartment and into her nose.

"You're still watching this movie?" He asked as he sat beside her.
" obviously.."

"He's fine tho but he's not my type"
" thank God" she mock whispered.

They sat in silence as they watched Blue eyed fantasy.
It was jett's third time that day but it was Seth's first.
But no one needed to know.
