After a moment, the door swung open and Wheezie appeared on the other side, her eyes going wide at the sight of Rafe and the random blond boy with him. "Hola, Wheez" Jimmy greeted as he smiled politely at the thirteen-year-old making Wheezie's eyes flicked between Rafe and him, confusion clear on her face. She obviously wasn't expecting a stranger to be standing in her doorway.
She looked up at Rafe with her eyebrows raised in question, "Uh, who's this, Rafe?" she asks, confusion laced in her tone while Rafe glanced at Jimmy, a sly smile on his lips, before looking back at his sister. "That's Jimmy, Wheez. The one I told you about. He'll be staying at the house for a few days." he said casually, his words not giving away any further information.
"Aw, babe, you talk about me?" Jimmy teased Rafe lightly making Rafe roll his eyes at the boy's comment, unamused, "Shut it, you." he muttered, a small smile still on his lips making Wheezie raised an eyebrow at the exchange between Rafe and Jimmy. She'd been curious about the newcomer ever since Rafe had first mentioned him to her last night on the phone, and it seemed like she'd finally get to satisfy her curiosity.
"Is he staying in your room, Rafe?" she asked, a grin playing on her lips as she teased her older brother. "I love her, see, besties, like I said" Jimmy declared with a smirk causing Rafe to shoot him a glare, silently telling him to behave himself. Rafe knew his sister was a smart kid and that she could see right through the act.
"Yep, he is" he confirmed, his tone hinting at a warning, "But don't you go getting any ideas in that little brain of yours, Wheez." Wheezie faked innocence at Rafe's words, a playful smirk on her face, "Me? Get ideas? I would never." she retorted, batting her eyelashes dramatically and causing Rafe to roll his eyes again, not buying his sister's innocent act one bit, "Uh huh, sure you wouldn't." he said flatly.
