I was making myself a drink in the kitchen when Tiff tries (and fails) to sneak up on me. "Hey squirt. It's good to have you back. I have missed ya." I say as I put my arm around her shoulders. Tiff rolls her eyes "Dylan I have told you a thousand times stop calling me squirt. Mom and dad are taking me and Lexi out for dinner. Are you and Dom planning on joining us?" she asks me. "Of course squirt wouldn't want to miss your welcome home dinner. I reply to her and decide to try to ask her about Lexi without setting her alarm bells off. She doesn't like it if Dom and I make any type of moves on her friends. In the past she has had fake friends that use her to just try to get close to us, not that we have ever fallen for any of the fakes, if they hurt our baby sister they are not worth it. "So Alexis seems nice?" Tiffany moves to stand in front of me and narrows her eyes " Yeah she is amazing, she is my soul sister and i love her. What makes you ask?" I chuckle "No reason squirt. Just curious about the girl you have been sharing a dorm with. Can't you big brother make sure his little sister has a true friend?" I replied. Tiff relaxes and bears hugs me.''You and Dom are amazing big brothers. Lexi is definitely a true friend . We clicked right away and I wouldn't have survived his year without her.I am so g;ad she came with me. Can you find Dom and meet me in my room? I need to tell you a bit about Lexi OK?"she asks. I raise an eyebrow "Sure, anything I need to worry about?" . Tiffany shakes her head and replies as she is making her way to the stairs "No i just need to tell you some stuff. She asked me to tell you guys OK?" and then she dashes up the stairs.
I shake my head and laugh to myself Tiff is like a whirlwind and it's so good to have her home.
Dominic
I am sitting on my bed thinking about my run in with Lexi. The way she blushes is adorable, my little strawberry that's what I will call her. God it's going to be hard staying away from her. I already can't stop thinking about her. There is a quick knock on my door before Dylan walks in. "Dude, you are supposed to wait for me to say come in before you burst through the door!" Dylan laughs "What were you worried I would catch ya with your d**k in your hand?" I shove him gently and ask "any reason this visit or are you just here to aggravate me?" Dylan rolls his eyes ''Tiff wants us to go to her room, she needs to tell us something about Lexi and I said we would go to dinner with mom and dad and the girls tonight. Is that cool with you?" he asks. I nod my head and follow him down the hall to Tiff's Room. we knock and wait for her to say come in. we never enter her room without waiting for her to say come in due to Dylan walking in when tiff was 15 getting changed into her pj's and discovered our baby sister had boobs. Lesson learned the hard way. "Come in" she shouts. "Hey sis, why have we been summoned to your room?" I ask. She giggles a little. "You make it sound like I am a princess or something. I raise my eyebrow at her. She knows full well you are a princess, we all spoil her. She rolls her eyes before continuing "Lexi asked me to tell you a little of her background as she will be working with you guys. Mom and Dad already know. Anyway Lexi was in foster care most of her life. Her mom died when she was 3 and her Dad abused her till she was 6. She has small scars on her shoulders where he put off his cigars and she has a fear of the dark and small spaces. Her dad used to lock her in a closet for hours sometimes days with no food and nowhere to go to the toilet. The police found her in that closet after her dad was arrested for being drunk and disorderly. She was in a group home till she was 13. Then she moved to a good home where she was able to finish high school and got a scholarship to college." she was crying. I fetched her a tissue and Dylan gave her a hug. "Wow bless her heart. No wonder you are protective of her." I say. Tiff nods her head "Lexi wanted you guys to know because she has panic attacks and she also needs you guys to know if she does have a panic attack you need to help her." she says. Dylan asks "how can we help her?" Tiff stands up and pulls up with her. "You need to stand in front of her, put your hands on her shoulders and tell her to follow your breathing and take as many deep breaths as she needs to calm down." Tiff demonstrates this with Dylan. We both nodded and Dylan said "ok so anything else we need to know?" Tiff points her finger at us "I have seen how you both look at her and i love you both but she is off limits ok. I mean if she is innocent ok so just treat her as a sister!" We both look at each other and nod our heads and peck her on the cheek before we leave the room. As we had returned to our rooms to get ready for dinner I looked at Dylan and said, "I don't know about you but I want to protect her and treat her like a queen." Dylan's grins back at me and says "I agree, but we need to go slow and not overwhelm her." and we both go into our separate rooms
