Am I ready?
309 Words
"You are not ready for him sis." I Yelp and accidentally knock over my bowl.
"What the hell De! And I have no idea what you are talking about, your friend is too young for me."
I walk over to clean my bowl pieces up.
He bends down to whisper.
"I know you and I know him very well. You do not want anything serious, and Nate is very serious. If he focuses on something, he doesn't take his eyes off it. That's why he is the highest paid QB in the business. He has life ADHD, he does combat training for fun."
Just then, my babies ran down.
"Is the babysitter here yet?" My protective baby Kody took this hard, and does not give his dad any slack. Tired of reprimanding him I just took a deep breath and nod.
"Where did Nate go?"
"How do you know Nate Kade?"
"Duh he is our neighbor and we met him when we stayed the break with Uncle De a few years back. I thought you knew him because he knows a lot about you." Before I can question her, she jumps on me for a kiss and is yelling "Bye". Kody does the same, with less enthusiasm and a couple of under breath cursing.
I look at De, "How does Nate know me?"
"I told you life ADHD. The boy is basically royalty back home. His family is giving him until 30 to come home to take his seat at the table. I would not put it past him knowing your bra size. He did the same with me."
"What? Finding your bra size? You still wearing them? "
"Shut up! you promised not to mention that again and to burn the pictures, I was twelve. I had to practice unbuckling a bra one handed some way."
He says this and storms out. And yes, I still have the pictures.
