There I Go Again

Chapter 78

Bruno turned off his computer puttingit off to the side walking out the door following Ryan.

"I'll be there soon..." Brunotold them walking off in the other direction toward the back of thebuilding walking past the cleaning staff and employees at the hotelthey were staying at. He dug into his pockets taking a hold of hiscigarette. He twirled it around in his fingers trying to decide whatto do. He finally pulled out his lighter and lit it up blowing a puffof smoke into the cold air. He pulled out his phone trying to decidewho to call. Who would seeboth sides of this? Hethought to himself. He scrolled down his phone to his sister Tiara.

"Brunito? What's going on? Younever call me..." she asked.

"It's Kassandra." he told hissister

"Kassie?" she asked him.

"Yeah...you know how she got thatMaxiumthing?"

"Yeah. You have a hot girlfriend,brother." she responded.

"I know I do..."

"Then what's wrong, Bruno?" sheasked him.

"She's being the same girl she wasback home..."

"Oh. Did you tell her it bothersyou?" Tiara asked knowing exactly what he was talking about.

"Tell her she has confidence oozingout of her ears and that she could have anyone she chooses? Tell herthat she intimidates me?" he asked.

"Yes. Tell her all of that. Shedoesn't know she's doing it." Tiara told him.

"Will you talk to her?" Brunoasked scared of what Kassie's reaction would be if he told her thatshe intimidated him.

"No. I'm not going to do that,Brunito. You don't want to lose her, do you?" she asked him.

"No. I was being stupid. I stilldon't know what to tell her. She yelled at me for being jealous."

"What exactly did you tell her,Bru?" she asked him.

"I told her she dressed too sluttyin the magazine."

"Bruno! Oh my god." Tiara reacted.

"What?" he asked. "I was justbeing honest."

"She was right. You are being ajealous asshole." she responded.

"Wait..you already talked to her?How?" he asked.

"Best friend powers are strong, evenif the best friend is dating your brother." Tiara answered.

"Ugh. Whatever. I can't talk toyou about it. You don't get it." Bruno sighed.

" You need to figure it out foryourself, Bruno." his sister scolded.

"Fine. Whatever." he said in thesame tone as he spoke to Kassandra.

"Bro...it's late." Phil saidsliding into the seat across from his best friend.

"I know. I'm just stuck withthis..." Bruno said handing over the lyrics to his productionpartner. Phil read the lines out loud trying to figure it out.

"You have to talk more about thepast...." Phil told him. "What else has happened? You'retelling a story about y'all...there's more than this, dude."Phil responded. "Take a break. It'll come." he finished. "Don'trush. You want it to be perfect." he told his friend.

"You're right. I'll take abreak." Bruno responded.
