The aftermoon was a relatively relaxing one. Richle and
I spent some time gaming while Megan went out with
Emily and Natashya to do some shopping. I wondered
if getting a taste of my wealth level would influence
Richie's relationship. Would being the girlfriend of the
brother of one of the wealthiest men in the world play
a part in what kept Megan hooked on Richie?
Apparently, I wasn't the only one with that concern.
Richie mentioned it as well, expressing anxiety over
how star-struck Megan was with it all. He wondered
whether Megan would continue to date him for the
right reasons... when he left for college and other
opportunities presented themselves to Megan.
"Look" I said, pausing our game. You can't be
responsible for how Megan feels about you. All you can
do is live your life, enjoy the time you have with her,
and if something doesn't feel right, do what you gotta
do to fix it."
"Yeah" Richie said, "but how do know if something
needs fixing?"
I shrugged. I think it's just something that you can feel.
You know when Megan or Mom are mad at you, even
if they aren't saying anything? It's like that... or you
could catch her with another guy. That's also a sure sign
that it's not working out."
Richie laughed despite the distasteful joke.
"Just be honest with her," continued. "Tell her if you feel
like something's off in the relationship or if you want to
break it off."
"Break it off? Why would I want to do that?" Richie
asked.
"Believe me, bro," I said. "You're gonna be going to
college soon, and your relationship is gonna be long
distance. You'll learn that Megan isn't the only one
interested in you. There are a lot of other girls who are
just as good as Megan in different ways. You're
intelligent and kind. You're a catch; any girl would be
lucky to have you as their boyfriend. If you find out
that Megan or any other girl is with you for the wrong
reasons or isn't treating you right, bail."
"Heh," Richie said. "When did you get so wise?"
I looked back at the TV screen, unpaused it, and
smashed Richie's character off the map. "Since I got
cheated on, inherited a lot of money, and learned a lot
of hard lessons really fast."
"Motherfucker!" Richie said, focusing back on the screen.
"Don't talk about my mom like that," I chided.
"Yeah," Richie said, ignoring my joke, "You sound much
more confident than you did six months ago. It's like
you found cheat codes or something."
"Or something," I repeated as we started fighting in the
game again. "I know sound a lot more mature than did,
but I'm still figuring a lot of this out. Also, it's easier to
give my advice to others than listen to it myself."
"Is that why Jessica is here?" Richie asked.
"Yeah," admitted. "I almost got back with her last night."
"Really?" That caught his attention. He glanced at me,
and I used the opportunity to throw his character off
the map again. "Fuck!"
"Yeah," I said.
"What changed your mind?" He asked as his character
resurrected again.
I hesitated to answer, remembering that this was my
seventeen- year-old brother I was talking to. Then I
remembered that he'd heard about the eight-person
orgy I had in the garden hot tub. I didn't need to
sugarcoat things with him.
"I had sex in the elevator afterward," I said.
"Whoa... really? Was this before or after the hot tub
thing?"
"Just before," I admitted. "She wants to date me."
"Who? Erin?" Richie asked. Don't forget to leave a Comment
