We sit at the table waiting for our ice cream to be brought to us.
"I am sorry about not telling you about Frank or about Josh and so on"I state
He sighs and looks over at me
"Noel, I am just hurt that happened and I had no idea"He explains
"Austin I wanted to tell you about Frank but, Bell was born and Olive, I"
"You can tell me anything at any time"
I smile "You got a tattoo?"He questions "I saw it at dinner when you went to grab Bell"
Oh
"Yeah, When I lost the baby, I got something to remember her"
"Wait,I thought you only had her to get money? Why get a tattoo of the child if you were giving her up?"
"Because I am messed up"I respond
"Here's one cotton candy ice cream and one peanut butter chocolate ice cream" The girl puts down on the table, before smiling and walking away
"Thank you"I reply
She nods and walks away to the counter
We eat in silence
***********
"I still can not believe you like that cotton candy flavor" Austin laughs changing the mood
"You like peanut butter, that is gross"I gag
"Peanut butter is amazing"He smiles
"Uh no its not"I laugh in deny
"Thank you for checking on me"I smile as we walk up to the house
"Of course"He chuckles
We were about to walk in when he stops me
"Why do you defend him? Why defend someone like him?"He asks
I step back and look at him
"When I was losing Ocean, the baby, he was there for me. In his own way"
His face softens
"I love you and care for you. Noel, I am trusting you. Promise me you will protect yourself. Never to lie to me even if you think you're protecting me"He states
I pause and rehear his words
Promise me you will protect yourself. Never to lie to me even if you think you're protecting me
I think about Olive, before I can do anything my mouth moves and my brother smiles.
"Thank you"
I just promised...
"Wait-"
HONK
We turn our heads over and a woman steps out of a vehicle.
"Tiffany!"Austin smiles big and runs to her "What are you doing here!?"
"I missed you, I took time off and thought I'd surprise you"She kissed him
"I'm surprised! Tiffany remember my little sis-"
"NOEL!!"She yells coming over with her arms open
"Tiffany!"I smile
She hugs me "How are you?! I hear you were with some hot guy at the gala and engaged! Twins!"
My brother looked like he saw a ghost
