The next day, I woke up late. Not that I cared because it was Sunday. I always slept in on Sundays, I mean who didn't? I took a glance on my clock. It was 09.30. I groaned and sat up.

I headed to the bathroom to brush my teeth and shower. I recalled the date yesterday. I couldn't believe I kissed Mike on our first date! I kissed a lot of guys, but never on first date. I guessed he was different then.

Hailey was right. Maybe I could give him a chance. It wasn't high school anymore and I'm practically an adult so, I thought I should act like an adult.
I headed to the kitchen after shower. I saw Brian was flipping pancakes and Ethan was reading the newspaper.

"Morning, sleepy head", Brian grinned.

"Morning", I said with dull face.

"So, how was your date?", he asked as he placed a plate of pancakes in front of me.

"It was just fine", I said , grabbing the fork and ate my pancakes.

"Really?", he asked, lifting his brows.

"What do you want me to say?", I asked, annoyed.

"Fine, geez. You're so grumpy", he said amused.

I rolled my eyes and continued eating my breakfast. I didn't realize that Ethan was still quite with the paper in his hands. He didn't even say hi to me. Go get yourself, Linda. I scolded myself.

"So,...",Brian started.

I looked at him. "So what?"

"Kira's coming today"

I furrowed my brows. "You mean Kira as your girlfriend Kira?"

He nodded. His grinned wider. "She'll be here for lunch. So, I expect you to be here too"

"Well, I don't know...",

"Come on, Lin. I want you to meet her. She's great and funny. You'll love her", he begged. "Please? For me?", he did the puppy dog face.

I rolled my eyes. "Fine". I took my plate and washed it in the sink. With that, I went back to my room.

It was around 12.00 and I heard a girl's voice near the living room. I was still in my room, messing with my laptop. I opened the door a little so I could hear them.

"It's good to see you, Kira", I heard Ethan's voice.

"Ah, you too Ethan", the girl replied. "So, where's your sister?", she asked in enthusiasm.

I heard Brian groaned. "I've told her you'll be coming today. Just wait here". I could hear Brian's footsteps coming so I closed the door room and got up on the bed, pretending to sleep.

Right I was covering my face with the blanket, the door opened. He sat on my bedside and shaking my shoulder. "Hey, Kira's here. Get up", he said and he pulled my blanket away from my face. I groaned and glared at him.

"Come on. She's here now and she wants to meet you. Brush your hair", he said and left my room.

I frowned but got up anyway. I brushed my hair and checked myself once again before went out.

I tried not being a bitch this time because I was about to meet Brian's girlfriend and I didn't want her to give me bad impression.

They were all chatting and laughing in the living room. They stopped when they saw me. The girl, Kira got up from her seat beside my brother and smiled at me.

She has a wavy brown hair, with gray eyes, oval shaped face and full lips. She was absolutely gorgeous of course my brother loved her. She was also taller than me which made her looked great with my brother.

"Hi. You're Linda, right? I'm Kira, your brother's girlfriend", she smiled and offered her hand

I shake her hand and gave her a warm smile. "Nice to meet you"

"Firm handshake. I like that", she smiled again". I just gave her a tight smile.

"We're cooking together for lunch. So, you want to join us?", Kira said with hope.

I looked at Brian and he nodded begging me to say yes. I turned my head to Kira again and nodded. "Sure. Why not"

"Great", she said and she began dragging us to the kitchen. We decided to make Lasagna for lunch. It was quite easy.

Kira and me mostly did the cooking. The boys didn't really know how to cook so they mostly sitting in the kitchen and drinking wine.

"So, Linda I heard you want to major in Computer Science", Kira began a conversation after we set the oven.

"Yeah?" I grabbed a glass of water to drink.

"Then you really like computers then"

"Pretty much", I said though I didn't know where this conversation went.

"So much that you know how to hack?", she said and made me choked on my water.

Ethan was beside me patting my back.

"What?", I asked when I was normal again.

"I asked if you know how to hack", she said confused with my shock expression.

"Uh-of course not", I scoffed. I did during high school. I once hacked into the government's database but I didn't look at anything remembering I could get arrested if they found out.

I'd even hacked into the school system to get test questions for Chemistry and spread them to my classmates making us got A and B. I couldn't help it because Mrs Enderson was a pure witch in making tests questions. I got to say it was the most bad ass moment in my life.

I heard the oven ping and I quickly changed the topic. "Food's ready. I'm starving", I said and took out the lasagna using the glove.

The three of them looked amused at my sudden behaviour. Hope Brian or Kira didn't notice my skill in hacking or I would be in real trouble the fact that they were working for law.

"So, Linda do you have a boyfriend?", Kira asked out of nowhere. They were just talking about works and other stuff and I didn't want to interrupt them.

"Uh, no", I answered simply.

"How about that guy yesterday? You went on a date with him", Ethan said, his face fulled with curiosity.

"He kept asking me on a date and I said no. So, to shut his freaking mouth, I said yes. It's only one date anyway", I explained.

"So you don't like him?", he asked.

"No", I said,

He twisted his mouth and took a bite of his lasagna. Was it me or that he seemed glad about it?

"Is he cute?", Kira asked. She lifted her brows in enthusiasm.

"Kira" Brian scolded.

"Oh, babe. Don't tell me you're jealous. I'm just asking. Besides you'll always be the cutest guy for me", she winked at him.

I rolled my eyes. Cheesy much?

"So?", Kira turned her attention to me again.

"A little, I guessed", I kept my head down. I could feel my red was hot.

"You're blushing", Kira squaled then giggled.

"What? No", I almost shouted but it made me blushed even more.

"Uh, I don't wanna hear it", I heard Brian groaned.

Kira still giggled then stopped when Ethan suddenly got up from his chair then left the room. What the hell was his problem?

"Don't worry. He's been like that since this morning. Maybe he's been stressed with work", Brian said, answering my unspoken question.

The three of us continued our lunch. Ethan didn't come back to the kitchen. Me and Kira washed the dishes while Brian probably with Ethan.

"So, how long have you known Brian?", I asked, trying to be friendly.

"Well, it's been 2 years actually. I first met him when I was working a case with him. At first, I thought he was an smart jerk because believe me, most smart guys are jerk", she chuckled. "But he's not. He's the most sweet, kind-hearted guy I've ever met in my life"

The way she talked about Brian, it was clear that she was so in love with him.

"You know, he always talks about you.", she smiled.

A plate that I was washing almost slipped. "Really?"

"Yeah. Even on our first date, he mostly talked about you. If I didn't know you're his sister I might think you're his girlfriend", she laughed, grabbing another plate to dry.

"Oh", was that I could say.

After washing the last plate, I grabbed a cloth to dry my hands.

"You know you can talk to me, right?", Kira said.

I furrowed my brows. "What do you mean?"

"I know you have a lot of things on your plate and it seems you never share it with Brian. So, as a girl, I know how it feels. I just want you to know that I'll always here if you want to talk", she said softly.

"Uh, thanks", I smiled. "I need to do some homeworks, so can I go to my room?"

"Sure. It's yours not mine", she joked. Without realizing, I laughed which was weird. I never got friendly with someone I just met. I gueesed Kira had this effect to everyone.

I closed my bedroom door and did my homework. Guessed the lunch wasn't so bad and so was Kira.
