Chapter 9

Calliope fixed her hair for this evening and glanced at it one more time. Her shiny, blonde hair was now perfect and showed off her nape. Hopefully Michael noticed her and realized as a date she was even better than a friend. Then her door opened in the other room. She walked into her living room and saw her brother putting his key in his pocket. She crossed her arms. "Brandon, why are you here?"

He pointed to the window that overlooked the street. "Where were you with Michael Marshall?"

So he saw her. She shrugged and walked closer. Brandon pointed toward the couch. She stroked her arms and thought about Michael, but then she blinked. She hoped Brandon didn't see through her as she slipped onto the edge of her sofa. "He took me to the bank. Chris withdrew money from my account today and I wanted to get him off all my accounts."

He sat next to her. "You did?"

She nodded.

His gaze narrowed. "That doesn't sound like you, to be so responsible when it comes to Chris."

“I’m different.” No. This wasn't good. Brandon had to see she was right. Her shoulders stiffened. "He left me at the altar."

He stared at her hair was that was in an updo for tonight as he said, "You've been making excuses for him for years."

She had settled for years with someone she herself hadn’t loved Her fingers tapped the edge of the chair and she refused to look at her brother. "I'm done with him now."

"Good."

Despite how her skin jittered, so she took a deep breath. Brandon knew more about Michael and what he’d done for the past year. She tugged her ear and turned to face him. "What do you think about Michael?"

Again his brow bunched and it felt like he saw straight through her. "I think he's a good guy, but not good for you."

To stop tapping, she let her fingers massaged the back of her neck. "So I don't deserve a good guy?"

He leaned closer. "Not what I said. Michael has a history of using women."

The excuse Michael made just flew out of her mouth. "Most women don't see past his dimples and bank account."

He froze and then his hand covered his chin. He must see through her. She cringed and waited as he leaned away. "Uh oh."

She hugged her waist. "What?"

"Responsibility. And now you're about to defend Michael."

Her brother’s words shouldn’t make her feel like she stood in front of an execution line. She’d made bad choices before and let herself live in her own delusions. This time with Michael she’d had her eyes opened and she was going to put her heart on the line. She lifted her chin. "I'm not defending him."

He reached out and placed his hand on her arm. "Are you falling for him now?"

If he wanted friends with benefits only, then she’d say no. Brandon saw through her. She stood and paced to get away. "Don't be stupid."

The second she turned to stare at him, she saw he had stood as well.
