One night I was sitting in the living room, trying to study. I had a huge test the next day and I didn't want to blow it. As I was finally getting into the study mode, somebody knocked on the door.
Since no one else was in the apartment, I had to answer it. I put my books to the side and stood up. Thr person knocked again right before I answered.
The person on the other side of the door was a man in his mid-twenties, with a receding hairline. Not to mention a helluva lot of tattoos. I raised my eyebrows at this one. "Can I help you?" I asked him.
"Yeah, us is Faith here?" He asked, "I'm AJ."
"No, Faith's not here right now...Why do you want to talk to her?" I asked him suspiciusly. What does he want with my sister?
"Oh, she told me that she might not be here when I came...Uh, I'm here to pick her up. For our date." AJ answered me.
"Your date? Faith never told me about any date," I said, "She never told me about you, either."
"She hasn't?" AJ asked, "Oh, well we've been dating for a few weeks now."
"So you're the one that she's been going out with every night, eh? I'm usually not here when you come." I said, "I figured she was just going out with some people from work..."
"Is that so...Well, I'm just going to go wait in my car until she gets here, okay?" AJ said.
"No, no. Don't do that. Wait here. Faith would want you to." I insisted.
Plus I wanna find out more about you, you worthless scum.
I led AJ inside and into the living room. "Sit down, sit down." I told him.
AJ took a seat on the couch. "So...you're Zach right?" He asked, "Faith's told me about you."
"Really...what else has she told you?" I asked him.
"Just about you...her sister. You know, that's all." AJ answered him.
"How long have you been dating her?" I asked.
"About four weeks, I think." AJ said, "More or less."
"Really? You don't even know how long you've been dating her. That's comforting." I said, "Do you get it mixed up with all the other women you're dating?"
"Excuse me?"
"You know, the other chicks you're banging." I told him. What? Is this guy deaf?
"I'm not 'banging' any other chicks. As a matter of fact, I'm not 'banging' your sister, either." AJ told him.
"Oh, so my sister's not good eno-"
"Zachary! What are you doing?" I turned and saw Faith standing in the doorway of the living room. She had her hands on her hips and she looked angry.
"Nothin', Faith...I'm just trying to get to know your boyfriend." I answered her innocently.
Faith walked over to AJ and took his hand. "Let's go." She said to him.
AJ got up and the two of them began to walk to the front door. Before they were out of the living room Faith turned around and hissed to me, "Zach, I'm serious. Back off. I do not need you screwing things up again."
Me? Screw things up? Never...
