Clarissa
It was evening and just a couple hours since Brandon left and everything around here was getting strange.
All of a sudden, it seemed like the guards around the house had doubled.
Jenna was in a portable crib beside me fast asleep and I was watching a movie since there's literally nothing to do in this house.
"Hello!"
I turned to see Bethany.
"Hi Bethany." I smiled.
"How's my sister in law doing?"
"I'm okay, thank you."
She saw Jenna fast asleep in her crib and smiled.
"My brother sure is lucky."
I only gave a polite smile.
Bethany told me she had cancelled her plans for Mexico but was heading to another country and she wanted to take Jenna along.
"Oh okay."
I quickly went upstairs to grab Jenna's belongings. Handing them over to Bethany, I picked Jenna up from her crib and followed Bethany outside the house.
I placed Jenna in her seat and buckled her up.
"Bye Clarissa and thank you so much."
I waved back at her.
********
I went back upstairs and into the room I shared with Brandon. Since it was cold, I entered my part of the walk in closet to get my favourite set of pyjamas but they were no where to be found.
In fact, all my pyjamas' had vanished and were replaced with night dresses and gowns.
What in the world?
Opting not to dare try any of them on, I snuck into Brandon's part of the closet and searched through his stuff and found a grey hoodie.
I smirked and picked it up.
Before getting out, I picked up Brandon's laptop because he told me he was going to call tonight. I jumped into the bed and opened up the laptop.
Woah!
The wallpaper was super hot!
Pervert.
It was Brandon, at the beach, in nothing but shorts, the yellow sun glistening on his toned upper body.
He looked so eye candy-ish.
You know what I mean *wink*
No.
By the way, why in the world would you use that as your wallpaper?
So maybe thieves might get distracted.
Soon, I saw the alert on the screen, accepted it and Brandon's face Dilled the screen.
Brandon
I told Clarissa I was going to call once I had the time. I wasn't calling for her, I only wanted to check up on my niece Jenna.
For the love of grenades, drop the act!
I called her, waited until I saw her face fill the screen.
She looked different.
She looked.....beautiful.
Her absurdly long brown hair was let down and was trying to get into her hazel brown eyes.
Calling to check up on your niece my foot.
And she was in my hoodie.
"Brandon." She waved.
Is it just me or was she always this childish.
"Rissa, how's everything at home?"
"Bethany cane for Jenna a few hours ago so I'm home alone now." She said.
I was studying how slowly her lips moved while she spoke.
What's up with you?
"Alright." That was all I could say.
"Yes."
"You look....pretty."
Her eyes widened.
"Your blushing wife." She smiled and covered her face.
Flirt much?
"Hey lovebirds."
Alan took the laptop from me.
"How are you doing Clarissa?"
"I am doing great!" Clarissa laughed.
I just rolled my eyes.
For more than minutes, Clarissa giggled at every word Alan said.
Why? You jealous?
Alan handed the laptop back to me.
"Take care of yourself Rissa."
She smiled.
"You too, Brandon."
"Good bye."
Alan stared at me wide eyed.
"Wait, that's it?"
I stared at him with one brow up.
"What?".
" No I love you or sweet dreams, nothing?"
What was wrong with him?
"Come on, Brandon."
There was a weird pause between Clarissa and I.
"I love you." I said.
Clarissa stared at me with her mouth open and she blinked a number of rimes.
"I- I love you too."
With that, she covered her mouth and ended the call.
