I felt myself getting light headed and knew I needed a drink of water to calm down. As I enter the kitchen, I hear Ace's footsteps follow behind me and he calls out my name
I grab a glass and fill it with water when I notice him stand beside me in the kitchen. Only us two, alone.
"Alexandra, please just listen" he starts to say
I shake my head
"I'm listening Ace!" I slightly yell
"Look, she came by the office yesterday and wanted to see me. Alex, she's a changed person and means well. She told me her side of the story and how she has changed for the better. She's engaged, she's been working, she even... brought back the money, cent for cent that she had taken that day"
I slam the glass a little too hard on the counter and turn to him
"How could you agree to sit and talk to her Ace!? Do you not understand how dangerous she can be!? What if you would have gotten hurt? What if something could have happened to you!? What would happened then-" he cuts me off and gently grabs my arms
"Alexandra! She is your sister. I know you both have a past and it's not easy to forgive and I'm not saying you need to forgive her. But she has put in an effort to change for the better and it's only fair you give her the opportunity to hear her out! She's still your sister by blood Alex, she's your family" he says
I shake my head and close my eyes
"no she's not... you're my family" I whisper and caress his cheek
He leans his forehead against mine and we both close our eyes, taking in the moment.
"Alex, just listen to what she has to say." he says a few moments later, breaking the silence as he pulls away
Looking into his icy blue eyes, I gently nod my head and let out a sigh
"Fine"
*** Sitting at the kitchen island, I rest my head in my hands as I waited for Jennifer to come in.
Ace said he was going to tell her she could come in and I didn't want to make a scene outside with everyone who was sitting there. Therefore, it was better if we just had our conversation inside.
As I waited, I tried to think about how this conversation could go... I felt like I didn't even know my sister anymore. She seemed like a total stranger and that there was no possible connection to her anymore.
I hear the glass door, connecting the kitchen to the backyard slide open, and Jennifer walking in.
I put my head up and look at her, as we make brief eye contact. I'm not sure if it was just my hormones, but I felt my heart hurt a little bit. Remembering all the times it was just me and her when we were younger. How we used to be so close... I missed her.
