Brad: “We need to talk…I want to know what’s going on with you.”

Tina: (panicking not sure of what to say) “What do you mean, what’s going on with me?”

Brad: (giving Tina the stop fucking around look) “you know what I mean…there is no way, you are going to have me believe that you got sent home by Bette’s mommy.”

Tina: (finding it hard to control the verbal vomit bubbling up in her throat) “I kissed her…we were playing this game…power hour… and Alice….and truth or dare…and I kissed her.” Feeling like a weight had been lifted off her chest; she sat the wide eyed starring at the rug. Brad sat there allowing what she said to settle be for he said anything.

Brad: (trying to make eye contact) “And…what happened.”

Tina: (shocked at her brother’s nonchalance) “what do you mean what happened…nothing happened…I mean not nothing nothin…never mind why aren’t you freaking out.”

Brad: (shaking his head) “You don’t get it …I’ve know you were family since we were kids.”

Tina: (slightly horrified) “what do you mean family…since we were kids what?”

Brad: (crossing his arms) “Oh you’re so clueless…the term family is just something people say when they refer to fellow gay people.”

Tina: (confused and offended) “Fellow gay people…you’re not gay …and just because I made out with a girl…and kinda let her go to second base …does not mean I’m gay…I was drunk.”

Brad: (rolling his eyes and lighting a cigarette) “Oh shut up …you’re so gay…you should see how you’re face light’s up when you talk about her…and you’re right I’m not gay I’m Bi thank you very much…so my gaydar works fine, and you like the twat.”

Tina: (Gasping and covering her mouth) “Brad! … Don’t say that word …and when did you get Bi.”

Brad: (laughing at his little sister) “Tina you don’t get Bi…or gay for that matter (pointing at Tina) …it just happens….like tonight…what really happened?”

Tina just spat the story out; it actually took her less than ten minutes. After she finished she just sat there like a lost puppy looking for guidance.

Tina: (rubbing her temples) “so what do you think bro?”

Brad: (putting his feet up) “I think you’re a scared little twink that freaked out … and you need to talk to her.”

Tina: (not quiet sure of what he meant by “twink” but not having the energy to ask) “Wha…how am I supposed to do that …I made an ass out of myself …or did you forget the part where I stripped my shirt off and balled my eyes out.”

Brad: “I know…but Bette’s done this sort of thing before…she’ll understand you’re new to this and were scared.”

Tina: “how do you know…I mean that she’s done this sort of thing before?”

Brad: “Tina you’re so hopeless…she’s a flaming alpha-lesbo…but I’ve seen her around on the club scene …with that little blonde, you know the one with the big mouth.”

Tina: (laughing thinking of how crazy Alice is) “yeah Alice…she’s outrageous…but how am I gonna talk to her…what do I say?”

Brad: (Picking up a pillow an attacking Tina) “Tell her you love her…and you want to have a million of her kids.”

Shielding herself from her brother’s pillow attack she giggled and tried to figure out how she would clean this one up.
