It was dark by the time I got home. My dad called to tell me the Plums are gone have dinner at our house tonight.
"So what for dinner?" Shawn asks me as we entered the house
"My dad said he would pick up something to eat" I said.
Shawn looked at me and nodded but he didn't look away. His eyes became intense. Like a green sea at storm.
My stomach turns into a knot and by breath hitch in my throat. He takes a step forward towards me and two steps back.
This confuses me.
"Shit" Shawn curses. He turn around and storm out the door. Leaving it open. I hear his tires spin and he races down the street.
I just stood there for a few minutes, shell socked.
My dad and Ry entered the door,"Was that Shawn?" Ry asked
I just nodded my head.
Sammie appears from behind the dad and runs to me. I behind down to her height and catches her in an embrace. Replacing the confused look with a smile,we pulled apart.
"Hey Sammie" I said friendly.
"Amber,I haven't seen you in ages" Sammie moans
Smiling at that I says,"I'm sorry Sammie, I have been a little busy lately.
"Don't worry. I'm just glad you're visiting me the whole next week. I can't wait to have you around. I love my brother but you know what I mean. It's a girl thing"
I wanted to laugh at that but her words sink in," the whole next week?"
My dad spoke for the first time. Making me aware that they watched the whole exchange that just happened.
"Hey honey. I'm sorry for doing this to you but me, Ry and a few guys on the team decided to go earlier to check out the plays and get comfortable playing there. Is it alright to stay at Shawn's for the whole week?" My dad asked.
"Like you're leaving in 6 days?" I ask.
I look at Ry and back at my dad who just nodded his head.
"But you don't have to watch after Sammie with Shawn if you don't want to, I said we would ask" he said giving Sammie a pointed look.
Completely ignoring her father she turned back to me,"pleeeaaaasee say yes, pleeeaaaase" she begged.
I looked at her smiling." Only if we eat ice cream for breakfast and cereal for desert."
She jumps at me giving me a hug, almost making me lose my balance I grabbed the ground with my one hand.
She whispered in my ear,"just don't tell my dad"
