"I don't remember staying up this late on the night of my prom." I'm caught off guard by second older brother who steps into the dark living room. He has a t-shirt with shorts on. Glasses and messy hair.
"No, because you remember us putting on face mask and watching Dated and Related." I remind him. "Which mind I remind you, you would be a horrible wing man for me." I added.
"It's fucking weird." My brother takes a seat on the ground next to me. "Who in their right mind want to see their little sister make out with some other guy? Not me. I just have the urge to punch the guy for disrespecting you like that." He said the same thing years back.
I pause the show. "Yeah, while you would have been with almost every women." I fire back.
"Nah-Ah." Adonis looks at me, insulted. "I'm there to win. I'll make my pick, you befriend her, she falls in love because honestly, Cally, come on. Who wouldn't love this?" Adonis points at his body which is covered but all I do is just stare at him as if he was the weirdest person on the planet. "Point being, the grand prize money is good as ours."
"I'll be sure to note that down when you become big on social media and I do too that way it's possible for us to ever be on those kind of shows." I roll my eyes.
"Like you would ever. We both know you wouldn't be able to sleep with a camera in every room." He's not wrong. I really wouldn't be able to talk or do anything knowing it's all on film. Especially when I'm sleeping. God no. No thank you.
"What show is it now?" He asked, looking at the TV.
"Decided to give Too Hot To Handle a chance." I turn back to the TV.
This has always been our thing. I got Adonis into reality TV shows and Dating show by just watching it with him around. He at first made fun of it but then started to watch it out of curiosity. It was like a bounding time with my brother. I loved it. We made so many comments, said who is bullshitting their confessions and who seemed legit.
I was also doing skin care routine so sometimes I would sit close to the TV as I wasn't wearing my glasses. Adonis made fun of me for it until I explained the routine and how well it does for my skin. Apparently he must have searched it up because he started asking me about it and soon wearing it with me.
It became a tradition for us to do our skin care routine together and watch some reality TV show together late at night or in one of our room with the laptop or phone. It was the best, in all honesty. I even once was able to get all my brother in it but I didn't like it as much as this was Adonis and I thing.
But once he left, I was kind of sad. Thinking that it would stop but it didn't. We would face time and watch it on our own TV with our face-mask and everything. In the background, I can hear his friends, roommates teasing him but he always yells back that they'll be jealous when his skin is more flawless than there's.
I just hate that someday he's going to be doing this with his future partner. Makes me kind of sad.
Tonight, I did my skin care routine with him but we went our separate ways after. I couldn't sleep, nervous and scared for graduation tomorrow. So I decided to sneak down and watch some reality show distracts myself. No snacks, no face-mask and no brother until he showed up.
"Couldn't sleep?" I asked as he puts play on the show.
"Yeah. Thought about going for a run but saw you instead." He confessed. "So catch me up." He says.
I move more towards him and explain the situation. I explain who is who and what they have done. Explained more when a influencer says something and what it means. I explained the beef and drama. His reactions are priceless. He's very readable but that's what makes him amazing.
