The Invisible Girl

Chapter 30 Sibling Time

Amy and Jonah drove her back to her house, on the way they were both quiet. Amy had no idea how to break the ice, occasionally she turned to him, and he looked stoic, as he only had his eyes on the road. She couldn't figure out if he was really focused on driving or he was mad. She hugged her panda teddy bear harder. At least it wouldn't treat her badly.

"Thanks for the bear, it's really cute. " she said not knowing what else to say. 

"You're welcome. " He answered not moving his eyes from the road.

"You have a good aim, have you participated before in carnival games?" 

"Just one or two times. "

Clearly, he was not in the mood for talking so she stopped insisting. If he was not wanting to speak to her, she would not beg him either as she had her own pride. She felt relieved when he parked the car on the apartment parking lot. She unbuckled her seat belt and grabbed all her stuff. When he was not seeing she quietly slipped a twenty-dollar bill close to the radio, it was the least she could do since he payed almost everything.

"Thanks, see you on Monday.  " she said as she placed her hand on the door to open it.

"Wait. " he said placing his hand on her shoulder. 

"What?" She asked almost desperate wanting to go out. 

He leaned close to her and softly pressed his lips to hers. At first, she was about to push him away, she was mad at him for ignoring her the way she did, but the way he kissed her made her forget it. Amy usually mocked expressions like feeling butterflies in the stomach, but this was the effect he was having on her, she felt as if something inside her was about explode. She had received her first kiss, and it was with no one else that Jonah Parker, her longtime crush. 

"I couldn't let you leave without giving a goodnight kiss. " He whispered. 

"I have to go. " she said leaving.

Amy took her key from her backpack and stuffed in the keyhole. She opened the door and saw Sean seated on the dinner table. 

"Hi sis. " he said. 

"Hi, I'm sorry for not answering you before. I didn't listen to the phone; you know if I did I would have answered." She replied sitting next to him.

"I know, I needed to know you were fine. That's all. But when you didn't answer and didn't call me back either I was afraid something bad happened. But from what i see, everything is fine as you as you even brought a new friend home.  " he said pointing the panda. 

"It was actually nice, I had a good time. What about you, how was your day?"

"Pretty good too, i had a lovely time with a charming lady. "

"You did? Who is she?" Amy asked interested.

"I propose you something, let's have breakfast tomorrow at the Bread and Butter restaurant and we can both discuss our respective dates."

"So, it was a date?" Amy asked opening her eyes. 

"Not really, it wasn't planned, it was more casual and i don't think she would call it that way. But it's the only term i can think of now. "

"It's agreed then, good night. "

"Good night, Aims. " he said kissing her on the cheek.

The Bread and Butter was a family restaurant that Sean and Amy knew perfectly well since every Saturday they would eat with their parents, it was a tradition since they could remember. They decided to honor their parents by continue having breakfast every Saturday, unless other things interrupted their plans. They were seated close to the window. The waitress came to ask their orders, and when she left, they started speaking.
