Roman's Little Sister

FOUR

                                  ROMAN

      I was quiet on the ride back to the hotel. Dean and Seth are my boys, my brothers. Seeing Dean looking and openly flirt like that was something I was used to. But watching him do it with my sister was not something I was okay with. Entering the room I decided I had set him straight. I refused to let her be another girl that he played with. He needed to know up front, Dez was off limits.

     "We need to talk Dean." I said as we walked in.

     "Sure man. What's up?" He answered turning to face me.

     "She's off limits Dean," I state matter of factly. "I mean it man. And the flirting needs to stop too. I'm not going to let her be one of your locker room stories."

      He raised his hands in the surrendering stance. "Woah, bro. Judgy much? Relax man, I was just messing around." Dean replied.

     "I'm serious Dean. We all know the stories about you and your girls." I stress.

     "Alright, I fucking heard you man! Stay away from your sister. I get it. " he spat angrily. "And you know what, thanks man. You know I would expect other people to act like that about the so called stories, but you'd think my friends would give me the benefit of the doubt." He says on his way to the bathroom, slamming the door behind him.

                                       Desi

           * Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang *

           * Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang *

    I wake up to a pounding on my door that wouldn't stop. A pain in my neck from falling asleep in the couch weird. "Alright, I'm coming!" I shout to the person trying to break down my door.

   " Roman. What are you doing here, "  I ask confused. " I thought we agreed to meet at the diner  at 8:00. "  He looks relieved to see me. "We did. It's after 9:00. I got worried that you changed your mind, so I came to check on you." He says.

    I groan outwardly. "No, I'm sorry. I had a weird dream. And couldn't get back to sleep, so I came into the living room and must of dozed off watching t.v. and didn't hear my alarm. Come on in. I'll get ready and then we can head out." I apologized.

     "So, what qualifies as a weird dream? Spiders in tutu's? Tap dancing clowns?" Roman asks as I come out of my room.

    "Okay, um... no," I reply furrowing my brows at him. "Do you dream about spiders in tutu's and dancing clowns often Roman?" I ask jokingly. He shakes he head laughing me off.

     "Are Dean and Seth waiting for us?" I ask blushing as I remember the dream that woke me up so abruptly last night. "No, it's just the two of us this morning. We'll meet them later on. Hope that's okay." Roman's says.

      I nod my head, grateful that I don't have to face either of them right now. "Yeah that sounds good to me." I reply.

                                       Seth

    Roman took off this morning to meet up with Desi for breakfast. It's been tense between him and Dean since last night. Dean's stomping around pissed off at the world right now because Roman wanted to have this morning alone with Desi and then all of us get together later on before she has to go to work. I thought some gym time might take away some of his pent up anger, but that only seemed to intensify it. 

     "Hey come on Dean, why don't you sit down and chill out? Let's watch a movie or something. Or we can play a video game if you want." I suggested.
