"How do I look?" I asked my sister, Gigi. You look good. Stop worrying. He saw you when you looked your worst anyway. If he didn't run, he likes you," she said, typing away on her phone. I picked up my pillow and threw it at her. "HEY!" she said, laughing. You're not funny, Gigi." I just wanted to look my best. This was my first actual date.
I still didn't know where we were going; he wouldn't tell me. "I'm happy for you," she said. "You finally are being properly treated right by a guy," she said, throwing shade at Ryan. Gigi hated me; she felt he wasn't a good boyfriend, which she was right about. He wasn't a good boyfriend. "I have to speak to him before you leave," she said, grabbing my phone. She unlocked it and found his contact before I could even grab the phone before he picked up.
"Already missing me?" he teased, and I rolled my eyes. "This is her sister, Gigi," she said, smiling at me. "My bad, I thought you were Jenna. What's up?" he said calmly as she walked out of the room and into the hallway, closing the door behind her. I walked up to the door. I thank god every day for these thin walls and cheap doors. I was able to hear everything
I just wanted to know about your interest in my sister. I want to ensure that she will be in good hands. In good hands with you," she said. I could hear a chuckle come from him. "I like your sister, and I promise I won't hurt. That's not my intention to do that anyway," he said thoughtfully. "Good because I will beat you up over my sister, and watch out for Ryan. He likes to try to ruin her future relationship. Anything he tells is a lie," she said
She never seemed to lie; each time I attempted to move forward, Ryan sabotaged it by unexpectedly appearing at our dates or fabricating stories. "I'm not worried about Ryan. I can handle him," he remarked calmly. The assurance in his voice indicated that he wasn't planning on leaving anytime soon, or so I believed. "Ryan will learn whatever I like. I always get what I want," Even though I couldn't see him, I could hear the smirk through the phone. "As long as you can handle him, I'm happy my sister is in good hands.
I started to hear movement and quickly returned to my vanity, acting casual. Gigi walked through the door, and she handed my phone back to me. "I like him for you," she said with a smile. Before walking out, I smiled; getting approval from Gigi meant a lot to me. Gigi was the only sibling who cared enough about my safety and the person I dated; Lilly cared, but not like Gigi did,
My phone was vibrating off my bed. I walked over to my bed and picked up the phone. I noticed a text from Ryan and Arias. I rolled my eyes and deleted Ryan's text. I opened Arias, and he was outside already "shit, I'm not ready yet," I said, going back to my vanity and finishing the last touches of my makeup before putting my shoes on. I grabbed everything I assumed I might need, turned the lights off, and walked downstairs
