Reunion
I was watching the picture of me and my sister. Seems like yesterday I had find out about her. And I cannot be more rejoiced to know that the girl I called my sister was actually my own sister.
I saw her picture again, her and her husband, Ezra Michael Olyphant, Though I don't like him much he is good for her. He always was. I wonder if someday I can be as good someone as he is to my sister. My phone rang and it was him.
"King" He laughed. "Still hostile towards me brother, I see you can hold grudges." I groaned. "I have no time to waste Ezra, what is it now?" I asked getting irritated. "It is not me, it is your sister, have you forgotten about her baby shower? She will kill you if you aren't here at this instance," Shit, I really forgot, didn't I? Damn, how could I?
"I am coming, I am just on my way" He laughed a little more "You forgot, the wonderful brother whom she loves so much, forgot about one of the most important days in her life? Shame on you Sam." I snorted. "Right Ezra, you caught me, now what are you going to tell my sister? What are you, her spy or her messenger?"
This surely should have irritated him, but he loved my sister more than anything in this world so, well... "How about a slave, I love her and nothing offends me anymore. But you better get your ass here as soon as possible your highness." He cut the call and I typically ran outside. I was not brave enough to face my sister's wrath.
I drove like a mad man. I should have just gone fast, maybe but on my way, I almost killed a lady. She was crossing the streets when the lights turned green and I almost collided with her. She hurled many, many insults on my way. I walked out of the car and tried to check for the damage of both my car and her.
It is a her I know by the way. Dr, Morgan the same doctor who had checked me when I got into fight with my dear brother in law. Not a good memory I am afraid. "You again?" Oh, so she does remember me. "I am sorry look I can pay for the damages." I offered. "I understand you can pay for the damages Mr. King but somethings in there are priceless and even if you spent your entire fortune on them you cannot buy them back. But I don't think people such as you can understand that."
With that said she was gone but she didn't know me. She didn't know what I have been through and from where I have been coming from. She just judged me without even letting me explain. Then again, I don't blame her for judging me so quickly, most of them do judge me quickly. Only few people in my life knows who I am.
I smiled and picked up the little bracelet that fell from her hand when she was busy arguing with me. "I will keep you safe until I can reunite you with your sassy other half, what you say want to be my companion?" I put it on my dashboard and drove towards my destination.
"Brother you are late" My life is full of complaining people. But unfortunately, those are the people I love to death. Nothing I can ever give in exchange for the blessing I call family. "Sorry, I almost killed someone to get here." I said. "Who was that unfortunate soul?" She asked. I always liked her sense of humor.
"I think you remember her Dr, Morgan who once had attended us." I told her. "I hope she had given you a long list of medication you need to purchase for her and a big hospital bill. I would have charged you." Ezra said. "Glad she only hurled insults my way, or you forgot what she was like?" he laughed. "No, apparently she is scarier than my little one here. I can never forget her face, nor her words. She was such a pain."
I am glad someone shares my view of her. Though I wonder what was so important she was carrying that had made her so, so mad at me. "Thinking of something? What are you wondering about?" My sister asked.
"Nothing much, just how much I have to pay for damaged goods." She laughed. "so, she did send you a bill, didn't she?" "Just a small one. But you shouldn't care about that, just tell me how it is going on?"
She put a hand on her round belly. "Almost ready to pop any day now. Doctors say she is healthy." "And that is what we all need. I cannot wait to meet my niece." I kissed her forehead. Soon they started their program, I am happy for my sister and Ezra, it had been so long since, I saw her this much happy. And no matter what happens I am going to make sure that this is how it should remain for rest of her life.
Myra put her hand on my shoulder "So, you are yet again single are you not? Till when you will be single? You and Lucian both? I can vouch for Lucian that he had loved a girl he cannot have so he is coping for now. What excuse do you have Mr?" She asked.
"Yes, I don't have one but that doesn't mean I am ready to settle down with someone just yet. Give me some time, when I have someone, I can share my life with then you all will know because I will put the ring on her finger"
Myra left me and I cannot thank god more for that. Because she is pain sometimes. But because she is my sister's best friend, I cannot just tell her to scram. No, I cannot. It will be immoral, and I cannot just ruin their friendship. Their friendship which is way older than what we share so in will think twice before ruining anything for them.
Their happiness makes me happy. I am content for now on. I am content for now. "She is not wrong Sam. I know you think you should start dating. You had already set my life; mom is doing great but what about you? When you will settle down? When you will start to date? I cannot see you like this alone always hermosa, you need to find someone for yourself to." I hugged her. "I have all I need here, hermosa"
"I love you hermosa always know this, you are the first love of my life. You are my soul mate; one I had searching for. Even if you are my sister you are and always will be my true soul mate. I don't need anyone in my life right now. I don't think I am just ready for any kind of commitment." I told her. "As you wish brother, just don't make me wait long to become an aunt. I want a playmate for my little girl" I laughed.
"Why don't you tell the same to Myra?" I asked her. She made a face." Why don't you ask Damien after all you both are best friends inseparable from each other? You both are match made in heaven Sam" I laughed at this.
She is jealous. So jealous. My sister and I are inseparable since we met still, she is very much jealous of anyone who comes near me, but I don't blame her, for she is always protective of me. She always was and she always will be.
"Hey Sam, are you up for some drinks?" Ezra asked leaning in on me. "I thought you weren't aloud to drink anymore. Didn't you fell down and puked your guts because of that?" He laughed. "Yes, I was prohibited but Doctors didn't say I cannot take one glass or two and besides I am going to be a father, I don't know a thing about being a father." He said.
"I am sorry buddy; I cannot help you in that department. I cannot help you being a father." "But you can celebrate with us, probably find someone worth your time." So, they all are trying to get me to pursue me in the world of relationships yet again.
Last time it had ended badly, this time? I don't know. I don't know if I was ready to try again. The fall out I had with my father was not just because of my sister, it was because of more, something she didn't knew. I will never let my sister venture in the dark parts of my life.
"So? Are you up for it?" Ezra asked again. "Does my sister know?" I asked. "Yes, she does. And she will have Myra, Adam and her wife with her so, I, you, Damien and Lucian can go and celebrate me becoming sensible" How can I say no to that proposal? Maybe I can let myself loose it had been years since that day when I had got my heart broken.
"Ok, let me get my car Keys and we will be on our way." He nodded and walked somewhere probably to tell my sister that his idea work and maybe for one night let him drink. I don't blame him for trying, sometimes she intimidates me.
Poor Ezra, he must always suffer her wrath. I chuckled at the thought and for some reason her face floated in front of my eyes. Miss Morgan, how fiery she had been on the road today.
She hurled many curses in my direction and I, I just kept on listening to her. What more could I have done other than that? I couldn't have just told her how sorry I was can I? because I have a hunch, she wouldn't have listened to me at all. I smiled as I got my coat and walked towards my car. Let's just see what tonight had to offer.
"Ready?" Ezra asked as soon as I got out. I nodded; Let's get over with it.
