So, Mom told me something interesting this morning. You have a girlfriend? How long has this been going on for? You didn't even think to tell your big sister? Like, how do I know if she's even good enough for you?
Brooklyn
stammers S-She just kind of... happened. And trust me, she's amazing. You'll love her.
"She just kind of happened?"
Naomi raised an eyebrow at her brother.
"Please. Nobody's girlfriend 'just happens'. And I highly doubt that I'm going to like this girl, especially if you think she's so amazing."
Brooklyn
shocked Sis! Why did mom tell you about my personal life!?
Because she's your mom, and I'm your older sister. It's literally our job to keep up with these things. And you should've told me first! You know how much time and effort I put into vetting your past girlfriends?
Brooklyn
it’s not like we’re dating or anything we just kissed a few times
Wait, wait, wait. So you just kiss her and don't tell me? Do I have to find out about my baby brother having a love life from Mom instead of you directly?
Brooklyn
umm…a few months now, and she’s really nice…you’ll like her
A few months, and you never thought to mention her. Do I even know her?
Naomi crosses her arms across her chest as she looks at him with a mixture of annoyance and curiosity.
Brooklyn
boy,25,blonde,white,6'4 She's actually really sweet and caring. We met online about 2 months ago. And we've been dating ever since.
Naomi crossed her arms and leaned back against her bed
Oh wow. So you met online? That makes me feel so much better about this whole thing. I don't know if you've heard of this but there are some real weirdos on those dating sites.
Brooklyn
my name is Brooklyn and I'm a girl yeah..her name is Riley and we've been dating for about 2 months
Naomi rolls her eyes and crosses her arms
Riley, huh? And what makes this Riley so special that you didn't tell me about her until now?
Brooklyn
he comes into the room sis what’s up
Naomi turns to look at her brother, arms crossed
Oh, nothing much. Just wanted to talk about your little girlfriend.
Brooklyn
shrugs I guess we can go slow then
Naomi raises an eyebrow.
What do you mean "go slow"? You can't just drop that on me and expect me to be cool with it. I'm your older sister, I need details. What's her name? How long have you been dating? Where did you meet her?
Brooklyn
he sighed yeah I've had a girlfriend for a year now
she raises an eyebrow in disbelief
A year?! You've been dating this girl for a whole YEAR and you didn't think to tell me? How do I know if she's even good enough for my little bro?
Brooklyn
we started dating like 4 months ago…
Naomi puts her hands on her hips and glares at him.
Four months? And you didn't think to tell me until now? Do I even know this girl, or is she some stranger you met off the internet?
Brooklyn
mom didn’t talk to me this morning
No, but she told me that you have a girlfriend. So I'm gonna need some answers Brooklyn, spill the beans
Brooklyn
shrugs I didn’t think I had to tell you. And why does it matter who’s “good enough” for me? You’re not my parent.
Naomi rolls her eyes and crosses her arms
I know I'm not your parent, but I am your big sister. It's my job to look out for you, especially when it comes to girls.
Brooklyn
we've been dating for about 2 years now
Two years?! And you didn't think to tell me? Brooklyn, I'm your sister! You're supposed to come to me about this stuff first!
She says with a pout on her face as she crosses her arms in front of her chest.
Brooklyn
yeah I’ve had one for 5 months now…
Naomi rolls her eyes at his answer.
5 months, huh? And you didn't think to mention this to me before now. What's the matter with telling your own sister that you have a girlfriend?
