The Day I Kissed An Older Man

“I know, I know, you’re my half-sister!” Sunny said. “But you can’t control me like that!”

Corinne continued to eat her toast. “I won’t. But I’ll have you know that Xante is my relative on my mother’s side. She’ll listen to everything I say. If I tell her that I disagree with her being in a relationship with you, then it’s as good as over for the two of you!”

Sunny’s expression changed drastically. “Wait! Corinne! Don’t do that…”

He knew that Xante referred to Corinne as her ‘boss’ and would take Corinne’s words definitively. As if that was not bad enough, Lucas did whatever she asked of him too! Sunny was worried that Lucas might veto his relationship with Xante, but he would not have to worry about that if Corinne spoke up for him to Lucas.

Corinne lazily stretched out her hand. “A paper napkin, please.”

Sunny did as he was told and handed a paper napkin to her.

Corinne ate the final bite of toast and wiped her hands with the paper napkin. She then got up and walked to the door.

Sunny followed her from behind. “Where are you going?”

“To the garden,” Corinne answered. “I’d like to take a walk.”
