Elese sat in her office and stared at the desktop picture on her computer. It was a picture of her and her brother Rick. It had been taken a year ago when her family had gone to the Dominican Republic for two weeks. It was taken by the beach at night. Rick was very well tanned in the picture and was wearing a white golf shirt and navy shorts. He was much taller then Elese and had his arm around her. Elese was much shorter and had her blonde hair in a ponytail. She was wearing a tank top and jean skirt. She remembered that after that picture was taken her brother and she had walked along the beach. Their parents had wanted to go see the entertainment for the night and they had declined. It was on that beach at the resort that she had kissed her brother first.
Now she was going to have to tell her brother, her lover, that she was moving across the country. She worked for a law firm and they were opening up a new office in Seattle. She had been offered the position of office manager, which was a huge promotion to her current position as a secretary. She knew what she had to do. If she said no, she probably would never get a promotion here. She walked down the hall to her boss's office.
"Hi Jared. I'll take the job."
"I'm glad you made that decision Elese. Are you staying late tonight?" Jared was almost ten years older then Elese and had a crush on the curvy blonde. She was so damn sexy, but every time he tried to make a move she would push him away.
"No. My parents are having a big dinner tonight. I also need to tell them and my brother." She bit her lip when she thought of Rick.
Elese walked in the door of her house and smelled the great cooking of her mom. It smelled like garlic bread and spaghetti sauce.
"Hi. I'm home."
"Hi sweetie. Dinner will be ready in twenty minutes."
Elese practically ran up the stairs and knocked on her brother's door. She entered and saw him sitting on his bed reading a computer magazine.
"Hi bro."
"Hi sis."
Elese sat on the edge of the bed. "I need to tell you something. I've accepted a job in Seattle." Elese waited for his reaction. Knowing him, he would pout and be angry.
"Fine." Rick knew that eventually his sister would move away from home, but the idea of her moving across the country was a shock. He had no say in her life and there was no way he was going to hold her back.
