Chapter 8

By Monday Baton Rouge was a soggy mess. It had started raining late Saturday and poured nonstop, effectively dumping upwards of four to six inches within two days.

“Well this isn’t going to be a good hair day at all,” Courtney mumbled to herself as she dressed in a cream top and black pencil skirt. She’d thought of wearing silk slacks, but she’d yet to pick them up from the cleaners.

As she was swathing her cheeks with light bronzer, Ari waltzed in and plopped down on her bed. Running late for a home closing, Courtney didn’t stop with her makeup. She did however notice Ari’s attire consisted of cotton team-themed shorts and a tank top. Her hair was gathered messily on top of her head in what Courtney referred to as her genie do.

“Why are you not at the dorm?”

“They shut it down.”

Courtney hastily turned, “Why?”

“Uh, because of the floods.”

She said it like she expected Courtney to know all about it. “Floods?”

“The lower levels of the dorms are flooded with an inch of water.”

“Oh, wow. It hasn’t rained that much has it?” Courtney sat beside Ari on the bed to transfer her belongings from one purse to another.

“No, but drainage on campus sucks. It’s kind of cool…a day off.”

“What will you do all day?”

Ari lowered her head to hide the smirk on her face, but Courtney still caught it. “You’re going to be with him?”

“Zeke. Yeah.” She smiled a 100-watt smile.

“You really like him.” Courtney frowned.

“I think I love him.”

Courtney inhaled sharply, rubbing her brow with her middle finger. “Ari, have you thought about how difficult it will be to build a life with him?”

“No Courtney, it never crossed my mind,” she countered sarcastically.

“Do you think he loves you?”

“He tells me he does.” She grabbed Courtney’s arm. “And when we’re together, you know…I feel it…his love for me.”

Courtney was older than her sister by four years. She had experience with what it was Ari felt when they were together and she hoped that her sister wasn’t confusing lust with love. It was easy enough to do. “Ari, when I dated Reese he was close with Zeke because they were on the team together. He told me about how hard Zeke partied after games. I worry about you with him. Are you using protection?”

Ari’s face contorted into an unfriendly frown. She stood to walk out, but turned back, her arms folded across her chest. “You know what, Court? I think you’re jealous because I’ve found someone and you’re all alone.”

Wow. That hurt. Sometimes she forgot that her sister had grown up and somewhere along the way her insults had grown up with her. “Ari, I only want to protect you from the hurt that can come when things don’t work out.”

“It’s going to work out. I appreciate your concern, but it’s unwarranted. And, not that it’s any of your business, but he’s clean. And he’s faithful to me.” She stormed off in a huff.

Courtney felt bad, but Reese’s stories had been so vivid and so raunchy.
