AIRPORTS.
Some people find them romantic. Others think they’re a nasty business. I
fall somewhere in the middle. Crowded from all sides by limousine drivers
holding signs and loved ones cradling stuffed bears, I watch in fascination as
a man and woman race toward one another. What they must be feeling is so
foreign to me, I might as well be watching two manatees mating on the
Discovery Channel.
The closest I’ve ever come to falling in love is sliding on the red
Ferragamo pumps I’m wearing—and that isn’t changing any time soon.
Unless they release the same style in pink. Then we’ll talk.
No, there is only one male alive on this planet who could get me to LAX
on a busy Saturday afternoon, holding a fistful of balloons. My baby brother,
Nicky. I can already picture his reaction when he exits baggage claim, duffel
thrown over his shoulder, sunglasses perched on his nose to hide the
inevitable hangover. He’s going to pretend he doesn’t know me, the adorable
scumbag.
There’s a tight pinch deep inside my chest. I’ve missed torturing Nicky.
We both dealt with the death of our parents this year in different ways. He
went for a visit to Staten Island to revisit his roots—and, I’m guessing, exgirlfriends.
Me? I hustled.
The money our parents left us isn’t going to last forever. Nicky still has a
couple years left until he finishes college, rent in Los Angeles isn’t cheap and
I have a weakness for Italian leather. My film school pipe dream is definitely
last on the necessities list, which is good, because it’s such a long shot, I
refuse to even hope for an acceptance letter.
Breathing in through my nose and out through my mouth, I glance up to
check the Arrivals screen. Nicky’s flight landed forty minutes ago. On time.
Baggage claim at LAX is notoriously snail-paced, but my brother should be
out by now.
“Relax,” I mutter, ignoring a look from the limo driver to my right. “He’s
coming home. He promised.”
Nicky is all I’ve got. Our parents chiseled the word family on our souls,
but they needn’t have bothered. I was only three years old when he was born,
but I’ve loved my brother from the moment I laid eyes on him. Even when he
grew up, developed a chip on his shoulder and started behaving like a prick
on occasion, that love only manifested deeper. He’s my blood. And he
belongs in Los Angeles with his often broke, overprotective sister. Not in
New York.
Our parents moved us across the country nine years ago for a damn good
reason. They’re not here anymore. And that makes Nicky my responsibility.
Swallowing hard, my gaze travels to the clock again. Forty-five minutes.
In a desperate attempt to make myself feel better, I replay the conversation I
had with Nicky four weeks ago, when I dropped him off in this very spot.
Chill, Teresa. I’m just going to see some friends. I’ll be back in time for
school.
