Chapter 5

Eve tapped lightly on the door of her brother’s boyfriend’s apartment. She tried to smooth her chestnut brown hair that hung in a low ponytail. She heard someone yell for her to come in and eve turn the doorknob gently, pushing the door open. Wyclef Jean and Claudette’s “Two Wrongs” song hit her face as she went into the apartment.

“Guys?” Eve called out, after she heard laughter.

“We’re in here, eve.” Evan said from the kitchen. Eve walked through the modern detailed atmosphere of the apartment and soon entered the bright white kitchen. Everything was immaculate, which was the way Evan’s boyfriend liked it. The two men stood at the stove. Evan was holding spoon up that was covered in red sauce; he offered it to the other man, who blew on the spoon before tasting it.

Eve smiled as she watched them and placed her bag on the counter and shrugged off her faded jean jacket.

“Any good?” Evan asked the other brunette man.

“Yeah, just a little bit more garlic. Hey Eve!” He smiled wide at Eve.

“Hi James. You two need any help?” Her smile was bright and caring.

James shook his head. “No you relax, we got it.”

Both men were attractive. Evan was about 6’1 with a strong lean body. He shared the same face shape, plump lips; olive toned skin and deep green eyes with his twin sister. His light golden brown hair was cut a little long, but spiked messily all over. Eve always gave him a hard time about looking like Ashlee Simpson’s boyfriend. Which was something that Evan always rolled his eyes at.

He turned from stirring the pot and looked at his twin sister, who had perched onto a stool. He smiled protectively over her as Eve leaned forward to look over the dishes that were being prepared and rubbed her hands excitedly on her burgundy corduroy pants that barely hung on her hips. James walked around her and got a glimpse of her blue and red spider man boy undies and started laughing.

“What?” Eve swirled around.

“Your little t shirt there, girlie, doesn’t cover those underoo’s when your sitting and I’m sure they don’t when you bend over.” James laughed some more and moved to another counter to pull out a wine bottle.
