I stood in front of her dusting off pet hair. On the plane here we got to sit next to a pet owner whose dog was in between his feet. And after a little bit of begging the cute pomeranian was walking between Faye and my lap. Then Faye didn’t keep a watchful eye and got off and started a ruckus since the thing was so small could hide literally anywhere.

I chuckled to myself replaying the event, having teased her all the way to my mom's house. When that was over I briefed her on what little I knew about my new step family, “So don’t spar with the little girl whenever she disrespects you and your step dad likes sports so talk to him about that.”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGO3tKxEVQ9

“Your dads a New Jersey and Boston fan. After talking with him, albeit five times last week, I know who won, which players were the best starters, and which coach threw a fit over losing. So you must know something. And your not getting out of this even if you tried. All I ask is for you to ignore her because I can handle her.”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC2NXSt8CoS

“Ok, fine teamwork makes the dreamwork,” She smiled down at me and I leaned in to kiss her. She put her hand at my waist and I breathed in, calming myself. The door shot open interrupting us though and what must’ve been Mia gave only me a scowl.

I sighed and pulled my luggage and reluctantly started to go in, “I never said I did either.”

Everything had gone sorta well. Mia stayed in her room until dinner was served later on and it was easy getting along with Philis. Now I had to hide the ever growing smile at seeing Mia so pressed over my existence. Honestly I don't know why it's me and it’s not like she’s the best to mom but she is tolerable and respectful, “Have you guys gotten anything set?”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65FHMKDXGN

I rolled my eyes at her, having grown tired of her snide comments in just a short time. It wasn’t too much to actually make me mad. More like a toddler repeatedly hitting your side for attention, “Are you just mad that your still a virgin? Don’t worry hun you’ll meet your special someone, hopefully someday that can deal with your horrible attitude,” Her mouth hung open as well as the others, “ Finally got you to shut up huh.”302Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ6LKFOM6F9

I’ve always had a strong persona. It never got used often as it’s my ‘intimidation’ tactic as Cherry calls it. I smiled reassuring him of any answer and side-eyed the teenager who chilled in her spot. Mom only smiled as I already told her of my harmless plan earlier. She got up to remove his and her plate and walked into the kitchen, “Oh yes. She could use some time out and about.”
