JENNA
“What’s his name?” John asks with fire in his voice. That tone
probably works on other people but not me. Being his little
sister, I’ve seen him cry over the commercials where the dogs are living in
filth and need our help. So I know he’s got a soft spot, and besides one of
them being for neglected animals, the other one is for me.
“John, I’m telling you it’s fine. I have it handled.” It’s the morning rush
at Honeybee Coffee, the little shop I own in downtown Los Angeles. I
bought it with the inheritance I received when our parents passed away. I
would give it all back to have one more day with my mom and dad, but I
know that’s not possible. I’m working behind the counter, my phone tucked
against my shoulder as I make up the daily coffees. We have quite a few
regulars that get the same thing every day. At first I tried to upsell them or
ask if they wanted to try new things, but they’re not budging. So now when
I see them walking by the big bay windows facing the sidewalk, I start their
drink order.
“Handled? See, there is something going on!” My brother is pretty laid
back, except when it comes to me. He’s ten years older than me and has
been out of the house for a long time. With me, he gets a little controlling
and has to know everything I’m doing. It’s sort of hard for him since he’s
stationed mostly on the East Coast now. But when our parents passed a few
years ago, he started thinking that he needed to step up as a big brother. I
don’t want to complain, though, because quite honestly, I need him now
more than ever. It’s tough being in this world alone. But man he’s funny
when he thinks I’m keeping something from him.
I snort loudly into the phone and then start to openly laugh.
“What’s so funny?” he asks.
“You. You’re funny! You’re getting all bent out of shape because you
don’t know something. I swear it must really bother you to know that you
have intel on top secret missions for the country but you don’t know who
your sister is dating.” I pause and then cringe when I think about my ex,
Paul. “I mean, was dating.”
“Was!” he screams into the phone. “See, I knew there was something
going on. What did the asswipe do? If he hurt you… just a name, Jenna.
That’s all I need is a name.”
I signal over to Madison, my best friend and manager of the shop, and
point to the office door. She gives me a thumbs-up, and I leave her and the
other two employees to deal with the rush while I go deal with my brother
in the back.
