One Last Kiss {Book Three}

Chapter 13

The past hour at the café had been extremely odd, considering I discovered a sister that I didn't even know I had. I'm gonna have so much fun trying to explain all of this to Ryan. Its exciting news, dont get me wrong; Ryan just hates the topic of our father being brought up. Even more so since Brendon and I got married.

Luna had offered to pay for our lunch, even after Brendon refused and handed her money anyway. It seemed as if he was still a little off about this whole situation. And I honestly dont blame him. It was..strange to say the least, that now all of a sudden I was informed about this. Why now?

"Come on, Hannah." Brendon stood up and took ahold of Bogart and Penny's leashes. "Let's get back home so we can relax for a little while." Brendon was eyeing Luna from across the patio, a smug look rested on his face. I nodded in response, not wanting to speak about what he was thinking at the moment.

"Oh so soon?" Luna grabs our attention as we're walking away from the table where we once were. Brendon froze in his tracks. He closed his eyes and bit his lip, taking in a deep breath. What was up with him?

"You know," Brendon turned towards her. The grip on the dogs leashes that he had, strengthened. "We have stuff to do. So we're leaving." His voice was low but it had a warning tone to it. Why was he acting like this? Brendon is never usually like this with people.

"Oh well uhm, it was nice to meet you." A stray strand of her bright red hair fell into her face as she tried her best to smile.

"It was nice to meet you too." I tried to break the tension as Brendon walked off out of the café. "I'm sorry about him, he's not having the best of days today." A forced smile spread across my face before I ran after my, seemingly, outraged husband.

He continued to walk down the street as if nothing had happened back at the café. Both dog leashes still firmly grasped in his hands.

"What the hell happened back there?" His face showed no signs of opening up to me on the subject. It was as if he completely ignored my question. "Brendon!" His name rolled off my tongue a little louder than I had intended, but sure enough it got his attention. We both stopped in our tracks and he turned to face me. His eyes showed a touch of anger.

"I get a bad vibe from her." He said through gritted teeth. His eyes closed for a second before he opened them again, this time a little softer. "I'm sorry I reacted that way. I just wanted to leave as soon as possible." He glanced down to the ground then back up at me a few times before he began to walk again.

The rest of the walk home was silent between us. Neither one of us spoke, or even attempted to. I didn't exactly know what to say in return to his comment, and I'm pretty sure he didn't want to speak on the matter anymore to begin with. But it still bothered me how much this new person was affecting him.

I couldn't help to wonder though. What if she wasn't actually my sister? What if she was just a girl with the same maiden name as me, and had a similar outcome with her father? But at the same time, she could be right. She got every fact about mine and Ryan's lives and her representation on 'our' father, spot on. All of this sudden information was confusing me.

"I'm gonna take a drive to Ryan's." I say as Brendon unhooks the dogs from their leashes. And they instantly ran into the living room and on the couch.

"You okay to drive yourself?" Brendon replies, not even looking in my direction as he followed the dogs into the other room.

"Yeah, I'll be fine." I grab my car keys that were hanging on the wall. "I'll be back in a little while, I love you ." Standing there for a few moments, I waited for Brendon to say something, anything in return. But he didn't. I assumed that he had still been upset from the past events at the café, but godamn at least say something. I rolled my eyes and walked out the door, a little angry that Brendon hadn't said anything to me.
