My little brother is the heartthrob of the family. Though I call him “little”, there’s nothing little about him. He’s taller than me with a chiselled frame that made women fall for him. At times, I don’t like walking with him in town because all the girls stare at him while I go unnoticed. When he got dreadlocks, I finally accepted that I stood no chance against him.
Apart from being a very good-looking guy, my little brother has another superpower. He’s very charming and can flirt his way through anything. He knows this very well and he uses it to get me to do things for him. I can’t say no to him no matter how hard I try. He always gets his way. However, there’s one line that he knows he should never cross. He has never tried to hit on any of my girlfriends.
Since he’s such a good vibe, I always invite him to come to my place and we’d spend the whole day playing video games and talking about life. When I got into a relationship, my little brother wasn’t too happy about it.
“She’s taken you away from us. Mum complains that you don’t come to visit us as much anymore.” He said.
“I was there last weekend.”
“Yeah, but you used to come even during the week. Now we only see you on the weekend. I can’t even come over.”
“You can come by if you want.”
“What about your girlfriend?”
“She’s really nice. You should meet her.”
“Okay. I’ll come this weekend.”
I reminded him that he shouldn’t try flirting with my girlfriend or else there would be consequences. However, I knew I had nothing to worry about. My little brother respected me and he wouldn’t try to cross the lines.
My girlfriend also knew better. We had been together for only a few months but I felt a close connection with her that I had never felt before. She had everything I was looking for and I couldn’t wait for my family to meet her.
She was also excited to finally meet my infamous little brother. I had told her a lot of stories about how his good looks had got him in a lot of trouble with the girls and she wanted to see it for herself.
“Your little brother sounds really interesting.” She said.
“He is but be careful around him. He can be a sweet talker.”
She laughed thinking that it was a joke. However, she soon learnt just how flirty he could be. That weekend, my little brother came over just as we had planned but my girlfriend wasn’t feeling well so she couldn’t meet him. We still spend some quality time together before he left.
“I really wanted to meet her.” He said in a low tone as I escorted him to the door.
“I know but she’s not feeling well.”
“It’s fine. There’s always a next time.”
When he left, Sandra came out of the bedroom and joined me on the couch. It soon became clear that there was nothing wrong with her and she was pretending to be sick to avoid meeting my brother.
“You don’t look sick,” I commented.
After pressuring her a little bit, she came clean.
“I’m not sick. I was just so nervous to meet your brother that I couldn’t leave the bedroom. I kept checking myself in the mirror and backing out.”
“What do you mean? You look great.”
“Yeah, but I want your family to think I’m the best thing that ever happened to you.” She said then chuckled.
“Okay. What if I treat all of us to dinner? You can dress up, do your hair and makeup.”
“That sounds great.” She responded excitedly.
I let my brother know about the new plans and he was equally excited about it. We planned a double date with my little brother and his girlfriend which made me more comfortable since his attention wouldn’t be on my girlfriend.
Everyone showed up at the restaurant around the same time. Sandra had done her hair and makeup so beautifully that I couldn’t keep my eyes off her. However, I spotted my little brother in the corner of my eye walking in and I was immediately distracted.
“How do you look better every time I see you?” I asked as we embraced.
He didn’t even answer me and quickly rushed to greet Sandra.
“Hi, I’m Kevin.”
“Hi, I’ve heard a lot about you,” Sandra replied with a smile.
“Really? What did you hear?”
“You’re handsome.”
He blushed. It was the first time I ever saw my little brother blushing.
“Well, what do you think?”
“It is true. I don’t know where Mark was left when you were being given looks.” She joked.
“Come on.” I interrupted and then invited my little brother and his girlfriend to our table.
We all placed our orders but I could notice that my brother couldn’t stop looking at Sandra. She also glanced at him a few times. I was used to girls melting at the sight of my brother but I didn’t think that Sandra would be one of them. We had a pretty good relationship and I trusted her.
Throughout the dinner, my little brother kept asking her questions that irritated me.
“Why are you not talking to your girlfriend?” I asked, hoping to divert his attention.
“I’m just trying to get to know Sandra better.”
“You’ve known enough. I think we should leave.”
Sandra stayed but when I got up she followed me behind and so did Kevin. He pulled me behind and tried to convince me to stay.
“I’m sorry.”
“This is the last time you’re going to see any of my girlfriends.”
“What do you mean? Are you going to end the relationship because of this?”
“It’s not just this but I just realized Sandra isn’t the girl I thought she was.”
“So, is she single?”
“Grow up!” I said then walked out.
I tried forgiving and forgetting the events of that day but I couldn’t. Sandra could sense that I had completely changed my attitude towards her and it didn’t take long for the relationship to end. My biggest worry was that she would start dating my little brother after we broke up but he promised that he would never do that to me.
