Markey's POV
I pulled up at the dance studio and there is my sister Arleigh, talking to a guy. That's not happening. So what, I'm very overprotective of my sisters. I noticed a puddle right at the edge of the walkway. If I cut the corner just right, I will spray the little twerp with mud. That will effectively embarrass him and keep him away from Arleigh. I guess Arleigh realized what I was going to do. As soon as I was within 2 feet of the puddle, she grabbed her friend and pulled him as close to the building as possible. It's kind of hard to sneak up on your little sister with a car like this. My Audi R8 stands out like a sore thumb.
Arleigh stomped to my car with a scowl on her face. "Were you really going to splash me with mud? I just got the lead in Swan Lake, is this some sick twisted way of congratulating me? What's your problem?"
"My problem is you hanging out with that lil boy Leigh." As soon as those words came out my mouth, she rolled her eyes.
"Listen brother, Josh is a dear friend, and you need to grow up. Did you think that the mud would only hit Josh and miss me completely?"
"Leigh, it didn't happen, and I promise it never will. You know how I feel about my baby sister talking to boys."
"That's your answer? You do realize that I have to grow up at some point right? Maybe you want me to hide the guys I date from you like Leya? Technically she is your little sister too, by 5 seconds."
"Who is Leya dating? I swear I'm going to lock the two of you in a closet and never let either of you out. "
"Not every guy out there acts like you 'Key'."
"Who told you about that nickname? You always call me Mark."
"Don't worry about who told me, just know that I know the meaning behind it."
When I find out who told my little sister about that name, their punishment will be brutal. My innocent little sister doesn't need to know about my activities.
"You know Leigh, since I'm an architect, I can design a house with only one door for you and Leya. That door will be fingerprint activated."
"You know Mark, I can slash 3 of you tires and leave a slow leak in the last one. That way your insurance won't pay for it. "
"Leigh, you're truly evil! Why would you do that to my baby?"
Rolling her eyes she replies, "I learned everything from you big brother. Now pop the hood so I can put my costume in the trunk."m
"Now, I seem to recall something about you taking me to the new boutique down the road from your house."
Even though they are nothing but trouble, I will do anything for my sisters. Guess I won't be meeting up with the guys tonight, when Leigh goes shopping it's never quick.
