My Way To You

Rhys

June 9th

     Slamming the car door, I quickly put my shades on to cover the sun from invading my eyes. I take my time walking towards the sliding doors that had many people walking in and out, stumbling while carrying large bags to the exit. Cool air hits my body as I entered. Taking off my shades, I stood standing and waiting near the front of the entrance.

Occasionally glancing at my watch and tapping my foot impatiently, I grab out a packet of chewy War Heads and start to snack on them. I pick up my phone from my pocket and find it dead.

Oh my God. Where is she? She's late and if she's just one more minute late I'm gonna leave the airpo-

"RHYS!" I jump in surprise and find arms wrapped around my body and feel hair just a little above my nose. I look down and see new highlights in her hair from last time. Blue looks good on her.

I smile slightly and pry her arms off of me. I then lean into her again and something smelled from the top of her head and I immediately jerk my head back. Rhian was jumping up and down and bursting with energy. "Are you taking steroids? You're way to excited to be here. You also smell gross, you reek of energy drinks and peanut-free cookies."

She rolls her eyes and unzips her bag and shows me four open bottles of energy drinks and about eight ripped bags of peanut-free cookies. "I was determined to stay awake during the flight. I love looking at the scenery it's so beautiful. Those dumb flight attendants only let you have one or two bags of cookies. I bribed the kids around me to give me theirs. I told them they're donating to a better cause."

"I honestly don't care that much but for my health and everyone's else's health, I hope you take a shower when we get home because I can't even stand being near you." I shove her away plugging my nose in the process. I pick up her backpack and roll her luggage as we exit the airport.

I open the trunk of the car and toss her luggage and her backpack in the back. I quickly walk to the drivers seat and start the car.

Rhian looks at me and bumps me on the arm and smiles wildly. "I'm just so happy to see my butter cups. You haven't visited me in like forever. I see how much you care about family." Rhian looks at me and frowns at the last sentence.

I glance at her and give her a disgusted look. "First off, I told you not to call me 'Butter Cups'. It's honestly gross and makes me not want to acknowledge your existence. Also, I literally visited you last year during spring break for a few days. It doesn't really matter now since your staying home now."

"Come on, I'm your sister and it's just us. It won't embarrass you or anything. So wanna just go out for a drive before we go home? I just forgot, remember when we're talking about going to go on a trip? I just came up with a brilliant idea. Since Mom and Dad are leaving for the vacation thing on June 12th? Let's just drive and go anywhere just for fun. Let's do that!" Rhian exclaimed bouncing up and down on the car seat.

I rolled my eyes, keeping them locked on the road. "Aren't you tired of traveling so much? I'd be sick of moving around if I were you. But if your up for it, it's cool. Paxton will be out of town and most of the school failed and will probably be going for summer school, so yeah let's do whatever RhiMan says."

"'RhiMan,' seriously? That's like seven years ago, come up with something better like Rhino or something that makes me sound cool. And, who the hell is Paxton? Another one of your flings?" Rhian sits back in her seat looking out the window and rolls it down.

I pull up in our driveway and park the car. I've lived in this two story house my whole life. Cream colored outsides with many windows with dark blue shutters. I quickly open the trunk and pull her backpack and suitcase out and roll it into the house. "No, I've already told you that Paxton is a friend and very much a guy. You haven't met Paxton, you left for Washington before I even met him. Why would you assume I have flings?" Of course, I have one night stands. I'm a dude, I'm attractive, and girls love me. It'd be a waste to not use my looks.
