Rosaleen

We both looked at each other, " be careful what you say."

I had Joey go downstairs first then I went behind him. Joey and I sat on one side of the table while my parents were on the other side.

"Why don't we catch up." My dad sounded intimidating.

"We never got your name. Where you from?" My dad started cutting his steak while keeping his stare at joey.

"I'm from La. That's where I met Rosaleen. My name is jack," he lied and I wanted cover my face because my parents have known the Jack I once dated since we were little kids.

"Jack russel? Rosaleen's childhood friend?" They seemed surprised, " you look different. You use to have way lighter hair and brown eyes."

"Oh no. I'm another Jack," he said calmly. How is he so good at lying?

"Interesting" my dad nodded and continued to eat his steak and I took a sip out of my glass of water

"How about you honey? How was school and how did u meet this jack?" My mom added on to the conversation.

I found it hard to swallow my water then finally got it to go through but I started coughing, " well.." I coughed again from it going down to fast.

"I did online since I was so busy with my job...And I met joey at Starbucks so we hit it off and been dating since."

I mean we did meet at Starbucks one time so it was a half lie.

"Where do you guys works?" My dad sounded pushy.

"Ok I think I lost my appetite," I pushed my plate to distract them from asking anymore questions, " I'm also jet lagged so I'm gonna go to bed with JACK and see you in the morning to discuss some stuff."

"Come on, jack," I grabbed joey by the arm as he was trying to finish up his food but I wouldn't let him

"Seriously?" Joey said as I put our leftover food in the trash then our plate in the sink, " He was getting to nosy.. What would you have said?"

"I- uh...I'm a teacher?"

"Then he'd ask, I started sticking out my fingers as I said the list, " What school, who's your principal, favorite student, what subject, and even more."

"I guess you're right..I need sleep anyway," we walked passed the dining room and went up into our room.

I grabbed my pajamas from my bag and went into the bathroom to change and brush my teeth then joey went into the other bathroom . By the time I got out, Joey was already sleeping peacefully in the middle of the bed.

"Ugh joey!" I groaned and tried to push him to his side without waking him.

"Shut up and lay down next to me, " he said with his eyes still closed.

I ranted in my head about it and thought about sleeping on the floor but I was so tired so I just later next to him.

Since he was in the middle we were so close I could felt the warmth of his breathe on the back of my neck.

"Don't think about waking me up early too!" I told him and I could hear him chuckle, " no promises."

"Speaking of promises, thank you," I said.

"For what..?" I could hear the confusion in his voice.

"For letting me have time with them before you do anything."

"It's only fair. As much as I'd like to avenge my sisters death..I need to hear their side of the story..someone once told me that, " he referred to me and I just smiled a bit then rested my eyes.
