Crazy Love Affair

Chase - 8

I finally met up with my sister at her place, she was kind of out of it. "You alright Chloe? You seem like your mind is elsewhere." She peered off into space and when she realized she wasn't alone she said, "Oh, I'm sorry bro. I've had a busy morning. Well..kind of crazy." Crazy? "Chloe I've never known you to have any kind of crazy in your life. That's more so kind of thing." I said with a chuckle, even though it's true. "It's nothing," she brushed it off, "Lets figure out how we're going to survive our parents for an entire evening." We both laughed. We were the complete opposite of our parents. So opposite that we both believed that we were adopted. We laughed and talked more until around 11:30. She was half asleep when I got up, so I didn't bother telling her I was leaving, I'll see her tomorrow at the dinner anyway.

I called Savannah to see where she was, I didn't want to bump into her at the apartment. I also didn't want to hear her complain about her husband. Poor guy, puts up with that woman and all she does is spend his money and complain about life. She was out running errands and wouldn't make it to the apartment today. Cool with me. Alone time it is.

I get to the apartment, and it looks like Savannah has been there. There's an old shoe box sitting on the table. Must be Savannah's. I won't bother it. I go to the fridge to grab something to drink and walk past the box. Its closed, but there's a sticky note with a phone number on it. Is that my sister's phone number? I had to take a double look and double check her phone number in my phone just to be sure. Why...How did Savannah get my sister's phone number? I opened the box and to my surprise, it's filled with things of Chloe. Pictures, love letters, movie ticket stubs; it's as though this is a box full of date nights. I'm confused.

I call Savannah again to question her about the box and the contents inside it. "Hello?", she answered. "Savannah, what the hell is this box and why is there so much shit in it about my sister?! What the fuck is going on??" She stumbled over her words at fist and eventually her story began to make sense. My sister, the Chosen One, dating a married man? From what Savannah says about her husband - Derek was it? Derek was a weak willed, push over who had stole her idea for his own. She let him be the face of the company because he was the geek and knew about the system more. "Savannah...You'd better leave Chloe out of this or you'll regret it big time." I said sternly. Savannah knew how to mess up people's lives. She had access to all the money she wanted and she had no problem spending it on things to make her happy, no matter the cost of others.

"I won't do anything to your sister baby. I know better than that. I just want to scare her off that's all. Maybe you could tell her to back off too? I'll make it worth your while. Whatever you want. Sex...Money...Whatever" She bribed. "My sister, is worth more than any penny you could ever give me and trust me, your pussy ain't good enough to bargain with. I'm not going to be a part of this. We're through Savannah. Leave me and my sister alone." Click.
