He heads into the bathroom as I open the door to Denise, Dean’s twin sister. She’s standing with her hip jutted to the left and her hand on her hip.
“Why does it look like you just gave an epic blow job?” She asks pushing past me and into the apartment.
“Uh,” I start.
“Hey D. What brings you here?” Dean says, coming from the hallway, not looking frazzled in the least.
“Hey D.” She returns, “what are you two doing tonight?” She asks as she looks between us.
“Nothing.” We both say in unison.
Denise looks between us, shakes her head, and then sits on the couch.
“I had a free night, and I missed my favorite two people. This one over here has been ignoring my texts and you—” She points to Dean, “you’ve been side stepping questions about what’s new.”
“I’ve been busy, you keep calling me when I can’t talk.” He defends.
“Why haven’t you been answering my texts?” Her head swings to me.
“My parents and sister are in town.” Good excuse, it’s true.
“Oh God. That sucks. Why?”
“Don’t know.” I shrug. “They’re here for a few weeks and we’re only a couple days in.”
“Ugh, that sounds absolutely dreadful.”
“Tell me about it.”
“They’re not that bad, they’re actually nice.” Dean says.
“Now can we talk about why your lips look like that? Were you experimenting with a hoover?” she laughs.
“I don’t own a hoover.”
“Well, experimenting on my brother would totally not happen, so that makes the most sense.”
Both Dean and I look at another quickly, Denise doesn’t miss it.
“Shut the front door!” She bellows and comes to a stand.
“What?” I gasp.
“Are you guys, you know?” Her jaw drops.
“I’m not sure what you’re talking about?” I say innocently.
“You know.” She eggs.
I take a deep breath and figure that I might as well come clean to her.
“You know my parents, they’re conservative. We are pretending to be together to make them be okay with us living together.” It’s the truth, even though I omitted the part about what we were almost going to do.
“That doesn’t explain why her lips looked like that.” Denise says to Dean.
“Nothing is happening, chill out, D. I’ve got a bunch of homework to do, so if you don’t mind, I’ll leave you two ladies to it.”
Dean walks into my bedroom and shuts the door.
