chapter 5

"Mom, can I have my, uh, boyfriend over for dinner on Sunday?" It was so embarrassing thinking about Cazimir coming over for dinner, but he had only met Bianca, and he'd have to meet my parents at some point.

"Ooo la la, a boyfriend," she joked. "Of course you can bring him over. Is he good looking? What's his name?" I didn't think she'd grill me with a ton of questions. I had no idea she'd have any interest in my relationship whatsoever.

"Yeah, I think he's gorgeous. His name is Cazimir." Bianca stopped eating her cereal and cleared her throat.

"If he's bringing his boyfriend over, I'm bringing mine too." Bianca had a boyfriend? Something seemed a little bit strange, because she was totally into Caz. I was a bit worried we'd end up fighting. It was obvious that she really liked Cazimir.

I could see the headlines now, 'Siblings Duke It Out Over Sexy Schoolboy.' I'd totally kick her ass, but I just didn't want it to come down to a catfight.

"Yes, yes of course. This is turning into quite the party, eh?" I had not wanted to bring Caz over to begin with, but he wanted to meet my parents...something about first impressions being important.

Bianca and I didn't talk the entire trip to school. She put on her headphones and listened to music while our mother drove. She was pissed. She looked like she was shooting an R&B music video. It would be about a woman who had lost her man to her closest friend.

I didn't care enough and I hated myself for it, but Caz was gay, there wasn't a chance for them to be together. I remembered when Bianca was my little sister and not a "woman." We really used to be close, but we barely ever talked anymore.

She was going to hold the whole Caz thing against me forever, I just knew it. She was a really attractive girl too, so I was sure she had many suitors. She was small, like me, and had huge boobs. It didn't hurt that she had similar curly, brown hair and brown eyes either. We had similar features, both taking after our mom. I did have my dad's nose and thick eyebrows.

"Bianca, we need to talk." We had gotten out of my mom's car and were in front of the school. "Bianca, come on." She had walked away. Ah! I was so mad at her for being such a bitch. She was probably looking for a boy to bring over on Sunday, because I was almost positive she didn't have a boyfriend.

I found Caz in the lunch room eating breakfast. I sat down next to him. I felt my stomach fill with little butterflies. I liked how much they were flapping around. He smiled at me and offered me a grape. "No thanks," I said.

I wondered if public school food was getting to him, because the fitness workouts were definitely sculpting his beautiful body, but he was also putting on weight in a less muscular way. His belly had been poking out more and more and I guess it was inevitable the way he ate. Every time we saw one another he had some form of food to munch on.

I didn't mind. I liked it. He was gorgeous no matter what, but I felt the weight added a masculinity to him that made me even more attracted to him. Size had always been something that attracted me to a guy and he was most certainly filling out nicely. "What's the matter?" he asked, looking at me thoughtfully.

"It's just Bianca is maybe a tad bit mad that you and I are dating." He smiled. "What?"

"I just like hearing you say that we're dating, and I'm sorry Bianca's upset, but I'm kind of gay." I laughed.

"She'll get over it. You're coming to dinner on Sunday, right?" He nodded and finished eating a chocolate chip muffin. "Good, because Bianca's bringing her boyfriend and I'd hate for you to ditch me."

"I thought she liked me," he said glumly. I laughed. "And when did she get a boyfriend?"

"I didn't know she had one either." I smiled. "But he couldn't possibly be as sexy as mine." He cheeks reddened slightly and he smiled at me.
