I couldn't help but pick at the first ring

TRACY

I just stared at him blankly .

He came closer to where I stood and he placed his hand on my head .

" Tell me sis ...are you feeling sick ?" He asked again and I sighed gently

Do I tell him what's going on ?

It's going to be too much for him to bear and I cannot handle that .

" Tell me sis ...what's wrong?".

RAYMOND

She looked like she was going to tell me something but she nodded her head negatively and sighed.

" I'll tell you about it Ray .....but not now "

I stared at her for a while .

" Whatever it is .... I know you have a good reason for not wanting to tell me but remember we only have each other and I'll gladly listen to you whenever you want to talk ".

She smiled at me and I smiled back too.

" Oh my God ...look at my little brother maning up already ". She yelled hitting my shoulder .

" Refrain from hitting my boyfriend like that Tracy ". Kheera said and we both turned to see her standing by the door .

" How long have you been there for?" Tracy and I chorused together
