Playing With Fire & Ice

7

Walking out of my building, pulling off the over jacket from my white pants suit. Feeling the breeze hit my naked arms.

Its been almost a week since dad's been in the hospital and his pneumonia is under control now. He's doing much better and I couldn't be happier. Even though Jazzy hasn't spoken to me since the argument, I still give her a nod of acknowledgement.

Unfortunately dad's still in the hospital since his immune system is a bit weak. I don't want to count him out or anything. But I don't think Dad will make it much longer like this. He's been dealing with dementia for almost 4 years and it's taken a immense toll on him. I don't want to tell Jazzy because then she'll start crying.

She doesn't know that I don't like when she cries. Even when we were little it had always effected me. It tore me up inside so me being strong for her was always my top priority. I've watched my baby sis turn from a little girl with pig tails to a woman that is going to do something with her life.

Coming from my thoughts, I stop dead in my tracks as I see Sean once again leaning against his car. He looked up and he smiled at me a spark of something went up in my heart but I burnt it out before it could grow any larger.

I didn't even try to talk to him just continued my way to the door. I would not let this man in again.

"Tiger wait." He said and before I could open the door he had me pinned to the side of the car. I could feel the dips and curves of his abs against my back.

"Didn't I tell you to leave me alone?" I said to him turning around pushing hard at his chest. "Tiger c'mon lets talk. I-I'm sorry." Sean said and I laughed in his face.

"A little to late for that." I said cynically. "Tiger your are my bestfriend before anything. Can we just talk?" Sean said. "Oh so what? You expect after five years you're just going to show up and I'm going run into your arms. Fuck that bullshit and fuck you Sean. I want nothing to do with you." I say to him coldly and seemed like I slapped him in the face as a look of guilt and remorse crossed his features.

Getting in my car, I start the engine before driving to the clinic to visit dad. Parking my car, I head inside going straight to dads room seeing him fully awake with a pile of food on the table. I could see Jazzy trying to get him to eat.

"Dad you need to eat." Jazzy said as I entered the room. "It has no seasoning." Dad grumbled crossing his arms.

"It has no seasoning because your a diabetic dad. Please eat for us." I said making myself known as I walk up beside dad. "Hmph. You kids so manipulative." He huffed before he began to eat. "How was the report today? Everything copestetic." I asked dad.

"They said that my heart is slightly weak but other than that I'm fine.  No strenous activity but I'm still gone bang bang bang. The nurse is a littlr cutie pie" Dad said jerking his hips upwards. "Jesus old man keep it in your pants." I blush shielding my eyes with mu hands.

"Daddy!" Jazzy exclaimed hitting him on the shoulder. "Aww what? You girls are grown now. What's the problem with me getting some action?" Dad said. "Everything. I don't want to talk sex with my dad." Jazzy said. "I didn't believe those soliders where still marching. Good job old man."  I smirk fist bumping him.

"I know your not condoning this Effie." Jazzy said shocked and I shrugged. "Jazzy let the man be. He's right we are grown, nothing is stopping him from having some fun with a willing participant." I said nonchalantly and she shook her head mumbling a unbelievable.

"Anyway you better get better dad. I want you to see me graduate." Jazzy said to him. "Of course I will baby girl. I wouldn't miss it for the world." Dad smiled

We continued sitting around the room talking and laughing for the last hour. Soon it was time to leave though. "See you later dad. I'll try to come visit during lunch and after work tomorrow." I said hugging him. "Yeah I'll be here tomorrow around the same time."  Jazzy said and we walked out.

"Hey Effie can I talk to you outside?" Jazzy said and I nodded to her. Getting outside, I turn to Jazzy and she immeadiately hugs me.

"I'm sorry I accused you of not caring and calling you miserable. It's just seems like you always look so cold but you have the biggest damn heart out of both of us." Jazzy apologized to me. "It's okay Jazzy but I need to talk to you about something." I say pulling away from the hug.

"Okay." Jazzy says preparing herself. "You know I went to the gala the other week. I seen him and ever sinces he's been showing up at my business demanding I talk to him. But I don't want nothing to do with him." I say to her.

"So that bastard that believes a picturw produce by his slutty ex-girlfriend over you wants you back?" Jazzy said frustrated. "Bing fucking go." I grumble. "Well he needs to earn a place to talk to you. He can't barge in your life like you owe him something." Jazzy said.

"You got that right sis." I say. "You know what make him work for it. Because I remember that if it weren't for you that business would not be what it is." Jazzy says. "I know but anyways you want to get go to the gym or you going home." I said.

"Why don't we get a pepporoni pizza, a supreme pizza and hot wings, we could watch some movies. We haven't done that in a long time." Jazzy said her dark eyes lighting up in happiness. "Why not? I'll get the pizza delivered." I say as I quickly place the order. "Cool I'll go to the redbox get some comedies." Jazzy said before she went to her car.

Getting in my car, I drive to the  apartment. Parking my car, I sigh as I go inside before getting to my place. Walking to the bathroom, I strip down, taking a hot shower refreshing myself.

Drying off I put on deodarant and lotions before I put on a simple tank top with shorts. Hearing the door bell ring, I answer the door seeing the delivery boy.

"Um...that'll be $30.30." He says as a  blush staining his cheeks. Handing him a $50 dollar bill, I take the food and my change before closing the door. Setting it on the coffee table Jazzy soon walks through the door with movies in hand.

"I got Kevin Hart and Tiffany Haddish." Jazzy said as she came inside. "Alright. Lets get started." I say as I get a plates going to the couch. Setting the movies down she went to the back I could hear the shower running as I put Get Hard in the DVD player. Eating a piece of pizza Jazzy finally comes from the back dressed in a dinosaur onsie.

"Oh my God this is precious." I laugh covering my face. "Shut up Effie. It's comfortable." Jazzy said as she sat of the couch making her plate. Pressing play to the movie, I enjoy the night with my sister.

"That is priceless." I laugh out as Joaquin askes James with gang name and he say it Mayo short for mayonnaise. "It's good to hear you laugh Effie." Jazzy said ad she ate a hot wing. "Yeah it fills good Dino." I chuckled. "Shut up." Jazzy laugh pushing me lighting.

I bark like Dino from the Flinstones before breaking into uncontrollable laughter.
