One-Hundred Fifty-Nine: Family Meeting
Chris
I walk over to the packhouse with a huge smile on my face. It always makes my heart sing when I can tell my sisters what I am about to tell them. I live for these days. Nymyra is with me. She is going to hang with Leah, Daniylla, and the other women who will not have to attend this meeting.
“You really do get off on telling your sisters that there is a family meeting, don’t you? She asks me.
“It is the highlight of my day. Yes, I do.” I say, smiling.
She just shakes her head. She knows how much my sisters detest having to go to our family meetings. They complain and throw a tantrum of epic proportions. It makes me smile to see their irritation. Mom has no idea how they haven’t killed me yet. I can answer that one; they can’t kill me cause I can’t die.
“Why do you have that stupid shit-eating grin on your face?” Tye asks.
“Oh no, not today,” Jailynn says.
“What’s today?” Mykenzie asks.
My sisters, Mykayla, and Bryn have just walked into the room. Donte and Rye see my face and know exactly what I am going to tell them. Reecie just sits there with a smile on his face. I am bubbling with excitement.
“Today we have a family meeting,” I say with a smile.
Two seconds is all it takes before my sisters start whining. Here it comes.
“Why the fuck do they need us to be there?” Kylani asks.
“We don’t even care about any of the shit they discuss. We never have.” Mykenzie adds.
Oh, this is music to my ears. I just stand there with a smile on my face and watch the meltdowns start. It is glorious. I really shouldn’t enjoy this as much as I do, but I can’t help it. This is the one way I can get my sisters back for the pranks they played on me during the latest prank war. I have to get my revenge somehow. This way is safe and hilarious at the same time. They do this every time. It never gets old.
“You enjoy this don’t you?” Seth asks.
“Greatly,” I tell him.
“You are the worst,” Rye says.
“I have to get my joy from somewhere,” I reply.
“I thought you got your joy from me?” Nymyra asks.
I pull her to me and kiss her. I do get my joy from her, but this is a different type of joy.
“I do get joy from you but doing this to my sisters brings a different type of joy,” I tell her.
She slaps my arm, and I laugh. For fuck sake, they are still throwing a tantrum. Oh, this so warms my heart. The large smile on my face probably says it all. Bryn and Jailynn both shoot me a glare, but I don’t care. Nothing can dampen my mood right now.
Mykenzie
I know that bastard brother of mine finds great joy in telling us about having to attend these pointless family meetings. I think it’s the highlight of his week to tell this. I still don’t understand why we need to be there. They never talk about anything of importance. It’s the same shit every time. But no, for some damn reason, they just have Kylani and me there. Ok, so I know they turned over power to us, but they still deal with pretty much everything. That’s the way we wanted it. We should have told them that if we agreed to this, we would never have to attend these stupid meetings anymore.
“Why do they even need us?” I ask.
“Because you’re the boss.” Reecie answers.
“I am not,” I reply.
“You’re one of the bosses.” He adds.
I give him my best glare, which does nothing. Any other person would have run away, but not him. Damn him. I don’t want to go. I stomp away to get dressed for this stupid fucking meeting. It’s not like I am going to pay attention during it. I never do. Neither does Kylani. I wonder if they would notice if we just didn’t show up. We have places to hide where no one can get to.
“You’re going.” Chris states.
“Fuck off you ass hat,” I tell him.
I get absolutely no response. He ignores me completely. I hate him. He needs that shit-eating grin punched off his stupid face. I am seriously thinking about punching him in the face. I think Kylani is too. Maybe if we both punch him, we won’t have to go. Mykayla actually looks excited to go to this thing.
