"Brother? my dear, what are you doing?" I said as I rubbed my droopy eyes.
"Happy birthday my Yvonne". Scott said to me warmly as he usually does.
"When did you wake up and prepare these? I didn't hear anything", I said to him.
"It was very difficult. I even forgot to make you omelette", he said while running round our little but not so little kitchen.
"Obviously you've spoilt me a lot" strolling over to the sit he was patting for me to sit on.
"Oh my God and you tell me to get married, nobody could take care of me like my big brother does! Nobody can do it like him, I mean Scott look at this, such a nice table, thank you". I gave him a warm smile while already stuffing my mouth with food.
"Happy birthday, I'm glad you were born and became my heartfelt companion".
"If our parents were alive, they'd be so proud of you". I told him.
"You are my mother and father, both. you sent me to school, you raised me, no other brother could care for his sister like this right?" I asked him.
"Don't say that",
"say what? this is the truth actually. if I am here today, it is all thanks to you, brother". I said hugging him.
"Okay, Yvonne, I don't like these things, you know that". Scott said and you are not only my companion".
"You too" I replied.
"What was I about to do?" Scott murmurs
"Pour me some tea, please" I asked
"Tea, oh not the tea just wait". Scott said grinning like a cat that got the candies.
"What? what is that? I asked anxiously.
"Here, from your brother, your birthday present".
"Scott, this wasn't necessary".
"This is what I could afford with my cop money, it's barely a present anyway".
It was a bracelet and not so beautiful but still beautiful and glittery on closer inspection. Of course I remember where I saw this same piece, it was in a thrift store down the street while going on a walk with my brother.
"Didn't you like it? he asked.
"Of course I did, I love it. thank you. I wanted to tell you something anyway, you know I have a birthday party tonight ...
"yes I know" he replied
"I want to introduce someone to you there".
"who is he"?
"First get those eyebrows down, His name is Bellemy Oswald he's a doctor like me. We've been in a relationship and I want to introduce him to you". I said
"Yvonne listen to me, I really want you to marry, have children and make me an uncle but I don't know if his annoying, I can't stand thinking that you'll spend a lifetime with him. My God, you need to know him first. If you know him, you'll feel better, this is all prejudice. Don't worry", He said as his never ending reprimanding speech continues, one thing he got from Mom.
Yvonne my girl, my pretty girl". Hearing his husky voice, I already knew who it was.
"Lee's father is waiting for you at the hospital". A staff came running along to inform us.
"My brother was very happy to hear that you are coming to Jamie. I told him you are a hockey fan and he said you wouldn't be welcomed if you had supported another team other than the Wolverines". Didn't notice his sweaty palms until now as I kept talking tho.
"What is it? it is like I forced you into this, are you upset with me?", I kept asking frantically as worry takes over my face.
"Of course I'll meet your family but I am nervous and you said he is a cop".
For a moment there I was amused. I guess he's in for some jabbing from the almighty Cop. Hillary Scott.
"He is, but it is not like he's devouring people", I said while trying to hide those mischievous glint that was probably dancing round my eyes.
"Come on, cheer up. Trust me you will like each other".
We were so engrossed in our convo that we didn't see one of these naughty kids whizz pass us, painting us in mud.
"You animal! Mind where you are going! God damn you!". Those were the only thing that came to mind and I spat almost immediately.
"Your dress is ruined", Bellemy said.
"It's okay, don't worry . Everything happens for a reason and by the way I have spare clothes so I'll just change. Today is my birthday I won't let anything upset us", I told him in order to make him less worried.
"My clothes got dirty too", he mumured while inspecting himself.
"It was refreshing anyway", I said which led us laugh so heartily like we were just 18..
