“It would be a pity if you were.” The man abruptly straightened up. “Well, as fun as this has been, I see my sister standing behind you looking like she’s about to kill me.”
“Sister?” Camilla echoed as she heard Katherine come up behind her.
“Hey, little Sis.”
Katherine screamed as she hurled past Camilla and threw herself into her brother’s arms. Camilla awkwardly took a step backwards as she made eye contact with Leroy.
Leroy shrugged as he leaned against the nearest wall.
“Jayden, what’re you doing here? You weren’t supposed to be arriving till tomorrow. You’re already settled across the street? I thought the movers weren’t done yet?”
“Well, it turns out they work a lot faster if they’ve got incentive, and Abigail insisted that we hit the road as soon as we could.”
Katherine looked up at her brother who towered over her. “She’s got you wrapped around her little finger, doesn’t she?”
Camilla felt something lurch in her stomach, but she wasn’t sure what it was.
“I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
Camilla inwardly rolled her eyes as she realized that this man was probably a womanizer who was probably used to getting anyone he wants, anywhere he wanted, and she doubted that any woman had actually said no to him especially with his brown eyes, mischievous smile and chiseled cheek bones.
Leroy coughed to remind them of our presence. Katherine colored as she hastened to Leroy to tug him forward. “Jay, you remember my boyfriend Leroy.”
Jayden held out his hand as Leroy shook it, and they did some kind of complicated handshake. “Of course, it’s good to see you again, Lee. It’s good to see you’re surviving my little sister.”
Leroy laughed good-naturedly. “Honestly, she’s the one who puts up with me, I don’t know why, but I’m thankful.”
Katherine grinned as she blew him a kiss. Leroy pretended to catch it, and Jayden rolled her eyes. “Two years, and you guys are still doing it.”
“We just need to find you someone, Jay. That’s all.” She ruffled his hair playfully as he gave her a wryly grin.
Katherine bounded towards Camilla and dragged her towards Jayden whose brown eyes bore into hers.
“I can’t believe you’re finally going to meet, Camilla. I have been trying to introduce you guys for such a long time. Camilla this is my big brother, Jayden. Jayden, this is my roommate, and best friend Camilla.”
“Pleased to meet you.” Camilla held out her hand, and Jayden lightly wrapped his hand around it. His eyes twinkled. “Charmed, although we hardly need an introduction after our little prologue at the door.”
Camilla flushed as Katherine slapped him on the arm. Jayden gazed at her curiosity as he rubbed his arm. “What was that for?”
“Just because you’re older than me by like twenty-five years doesn’t mean you get to hit on my friends while I’m standing there.”
“Twenty-five years?”
Katherine turned to face Camilla. “Yeah, my parents weren’t exactly planning on having another kid twenty-five years later. This big lunkhead over here got used to being an only child, but that all changed when I came along. Now he realizes how fortunate he is to have his little sister around, and how I really am something else.”
“You’re something else alright. A pain in my ass,” he said as he wrapped his arm around her shoulder and began rubbing her hair.
“Hey, hey,” she muttered as she squirmed beneath his grasp. “Watch the hair.”
Jayden held up his hand in mock surrender. “Wouldn’t want to mess with the do. After all, I learned that lesson the hard way.”
“I’m so glad to see the things I taught you back then have resonated,” she said sweetly.
“How can I forget? You left me a rather obvious momento,” he commented, very dryly.
“One of my finer dares.” She winked at Camilla. “He was visiting for dinner, and I was about to go on this big date, and he messed up my hair, so I told him I’d get my revenge. He dared me to shave one eyebrow off, and so I did.”
Leroy burst out laughing. “You didn’t.”
