My Boyfriend's Sister (gxg)

29

As I'm waking out of my office for the day, I run into my boss in the hallway. Literally, I walk right into him.

I laugh with embarrassment and step back, "I am so sorry." I laugh and he smiles wide at me.

"No problem, you're leaving?" He asks me.

"Mmhm."

"I hate to be a bother, but would you mind coming to my office for a second? I have a photo shoot coming up for our new advertisement and I need help choosing a suit." He explains.

"No, I don't mind at all. Let's go." I say, not hating the idea of being a stylist for a few minutes.

We get to his office and he has four suits hanging up. Black, grey, navy blue, and another grey one, but a slightly lighter shade.

"So, I like them all. I had a deep red color picked out, but my friends told me no way." He laughs and leans against the desk.

I walk over, touching the material. I point to one of the grey ones. "This one. Your eyes will pop more and it'll make you look more intense." I say.

"Shoes?" He asks. I bite my cheek and look at the options he has and bend over to grab a pair. I feel something brush against my ass it I choose to ignore it. Accidents happen.

"These." I say. When I stand up he's directly behind me.

"That's what I was thinking." He says in a low voice with a soft grin.

I smile and step around him, "that's all you needed?"

"That's all..." he nods.

I smile kindly and make my break, "okay, I'll head out. Have a nice night!"

"You too, Jennifer." He says, taking a much more serious tone.

I'm sitting on the couch with my sister and she starts asking questions... lots of questions.

"Are you and Leah like... a couple?"

"Not really. I don't consider her my girlfriend... it's just- it's complicated I guess." I shrug my shoulders, not too clear on the nature of mine and Leah's relationship anyway.

My little sister gives a sarcastic laugh, "what makes it complicated? You clearly like each other."

"She's leaving, Jackie. She'll be gone for two weeks soon and then after that... she might move to London. I'm not getting into a relationship that's gonna be long distance." I say and my sister is surprised to hear this.

"I didn't realize she was leaving."

"I- she told me the other day. It's not a big deal, and I don't want you saying anything to make her feel guilty about whatever she chooses." I snap, knowing how good my sister is at guilt-tripping people.

"I won't!!" She promises.

"Good, now tell me about this guy you've been sleeping with." I change the subject and her jaw drops.

"What?!" She gasps, playing stupid.

"Your headboard slaps the wall, dude. I'm not dumb. This is why you always put it totally against the wall or make sure there is something between the wall and headboard before you start boning." I say and roll my eyes.

"Gee, my sister is a secret sex expert?" Jackie smirks.

"Your sister is many things." I wink and walk to the the kitchen.

It's midnight and I'm laying in bed with my eyes wide open. For some reason, I can't get Leah off my mind tonight. Just the whole idea of her leaving and- it's a lot. I'm finally feeling happy and like I have something good since Danny and I broke up. I'm not ready to let that go. I'm not ready to let her go.

My alarm goes off and I've never hated the sound more. I slept for maybe three hours... it was a horrible night.

I get up and get dressed, all of it takes me about an hour. As I'm walking out the door I get surprised.

"Saved you a trip." I hear her voice and turn around smiling.

"You're a saint." I say as I take my coffee from Leah and hug her.

I stand there holding her for a little longer than I normally would. "You okay?" She asks me and I look at her and bite my lip. "Hey, what's up?" She asks.

I feel my eyes get all watery and then a tear comes sliding down my cheek. "No! You're not crying. Come on, come tell me what's wrong." She says and we go back into my apartment and sit on the couch. "What is it?" She asks and uses her hand to wipe my tears.

"I couldn't stop thinking about you last night and- I don't want you to leave me." I say.

"Baby..." she mumbles and hugs me.

"Leah, I feel so selfish for saying that but I don't think I can lose you right now. After coming out of my broken engagement and falling right into you... I don't know how to be on my own." I say to her.

She frowns and keeps wiping my tears as they fall. "Stop crying, please. Jennifer if it makes you this upset I won't go. I'll turn it down right now. I just hate to see you like this." Leah gushes.

"Don't turn the job down!" I say and she laughs and raises her eyebrows at me.

"Then what should I do?" She asks and strokes my thigh.

"Love me... love me now while you're here." I say.

She just stares at me for a second and then she hugs me tightly. "I do." She says and kisses my head.

At this moment my sister walks into the room. I don't feel like explaining anything to her so I suck up my tears and stand up, "walk with me." I say.

Leah and I head out and she ends up dropping me off at work. "You have plans today?" I ask her, now in a totally different mood.

"No, actually. I just have a phone conference with Rachel and her fiancé about the wedding. Nothing serious... how about I take you to lunch?"

"I would love that. Pick me up around 11:30." I say.

She nods and kisses my lips a few times, "have a good day."

"You too, baby. Thank you." I say as I slam the car door and head into the building.
