"Oh My Gawd! What is he doing here?" Abigail exclaimed.
Truly she was talking to herself as she was the only one in the car. She was pulling into her driveway when she spotted her little brother in front of her residence. She came to a stop and hopped out of the car. He started walking toward her with a big grin on his face. She immediately gave him a hug and he reciprocated with a brotherly peck on her cheek.
"I came down to see mom. We went to the bank and lawyer's office today," he told her.
"Oh yeah. You are the responsible one," she teased. "Come on inside and tell me how things are going with you. I have missed you."
"I called the bar and they told me you were on the way home. I was hoping we could visit a little today." He was watching her as he said this. "You still work there?"
Abigail had no desire to talk about this subject. She needed to take a shower. She didn't have to go back til 9:30. If he was going to start lecturing her, this was going to be a very, very short visit. She told him she needed to take a nap and get ready before she went back. She figured they had about an hour or so to chat. She let her long blonde hair down and tossed her shoes off. She offered him a cola or some water. He mentioned he had a girlfriend. He was staying a few days at their mom's and wanted to catch up with some friends.
Abigail did regret she couldn't take any time off while he was here. In her mind that was his fault since he didn't let her know he was coming. Maybe next time they could spend some time together. He gave her a hug before leaving. It took Abigail some time to calm down after he walked out the door. Her brother was looking good. What is it about some males getting into their middle 20's and losing that boyish look. He was looking like a man to her now. Yum.
Two evenings later she was bartending. She kept feeling the hairs raising on the back of her neck like she was being watched. After an hour or so, she spotted her brother at a table with some guys. Her brother was watching her. She wasn't sure if he wanted her to approach him or not so she just kept working after giving him a smile. When it was time for her break, she started heading toward the back. She felt someone coming up behind her. The person grabbed her from behind then spun her around and shoved her into the wall. She was going to scream until she recognized it was her brother.
