was starting to get a little worried?not that he was waiting up for her or anything。
Uh…huh。 Sure he wasn?t。
He had tried to go to bed just after midnight; but he just couldn?t seem to fall asleep。 After a
couple hours of staring at the ceiling; he?d decided sleep was out of the question and that the
couch was a better bet。 Too many unanswered questions were floating around in his head; and they
were starting to make him dizzy。
Dan was glad he?d figured stuff out with Greg; but after realizing thatVanessa was the inspiration
for his poem; he was more confused than ever。 If he was gay; then why was he writing a love
poem inspired by a girl? Maybe when Vanessa came home; he?d nonchalantly ask her what she
thought about this whole gay thing as she was getting ready for bed; and then he could let it slip
that he wasn?t too sure of it。Then he?d hug her and they?d sit down and reallytalk ?just the way
they used to。 If she evercame home; that is 。 。 。 His chest ached thinking of the possibility that
Vanessa had met someone else and was at this very moment in some hipster?s smoky; messy
apartment; doing bong hits and peeling off her clothes in front of some indie band asshole with too
much wax in his hair and not enough rocks tumbling around in his head。
Just then Dan heard the scraping sound of a key in the lock and the creaking noise the front door
always made as it opened。Finally 。 His heart buoyed; but he didn?t want Vanessa to think he?d
been up waiting for her。 He closed the laptop and lay down flat; trying to look like he had simply
fallen asleep on the couch; writing。 He heard the sound of footsteps tiptoeing across the room and
felt a pair of warm hands on his face。 He smiled sleepily; turning over。 Vanessa?s hands were so
soft 。 。 。 but she kind of smelled like those peanuts; the ones you get on airplanes。
Dan opened his eyes and yelped; sitting up quickly as he focused on his sister?s freckled face just
inches from his own。 Jenny Humphrey stood above him; wearing a purple Juicy Couture sweat
suit and navy Pumas。
?Surprise!? She whispered loudly; reaching over and messing up his hair。 He swatted her hand
away。
?You know I hate when you do that;? Dan hissed。 Despite his rude wele; he found himself
grinning stupidly。 He was glad to see his sister?it felt like ages ago since she?d left for Europe to
study art for the summer。 He?d missed having her around to talk to。
?I know you hate it。 That?s why I do it。? Jenny grinned and sat down on the couch; shaking her
curly brown hair back from her round cheeks。 She leaned back in for a hug; and Dan wrapped his
arms around his little sister; breathing in her familiar; forting scent of bubble gum and Dolce
& Gabbana Light Blue perfume。
?Seriously; though; what are youdoing here? You almost gave me a heart attack。? Dan leaned
back on the couch and gazed at his sister; still unable to believe she was really here。
