Pippa

“Sooo” Myra drags out the word to get my full attention

I gaze up at my sister who’s still dressed to kill I don’t kno she does it Every ets up, does her hair and makeup and puts on a kickass suit or dress and rolls around in heels like they’re slippers I look at her noith her blond waves up and not a hair out of place Heris still flawless and you’d have no idea the woman ran her butt off at work all day Myra is one of the hardest working people I’ve ever met in my life, but too bad she has a jerk of a boss that has no clue how much she does He works her too hard

I heard her coets hoive her a ht to the living rooe So is up

“So?” I pro from me

She’s acting as though whatever it is she wantsto say yes When it co I wouldn’t do for her She’s more than a sister to me; more often than not she slips into theas I can reraduated top of her class in college while working all the way through She et turned off on us because we all knew Mo to do it Our mom wasn’t there most of the time anyway and it was always Myra and me She’s the one person I can always count on and if there’s ever anything I can do for her, I will Without question

On hteenth birthday ere out ofMyra pulled s She already had us a place and ere leaving the past behind That was over two years ago and it’s been just the two of us since

“I need a favor” She steps out of her heels as she says it and lets out a soft sigh

“I’ll do it” I put ive her my full attention

I’m almost done with the mittens, and unlike my sister, I’ so while I could sit on the sofa all day and knit At the moment it’s because I have four applications in for jobs and I’ else forwinter accessories?

Her shoulders drop and her lips purse “Don’t agree to things before you knohat they are,” she scolds I do have a bad habit of agreeing to do just about anything If so, I can’t helpas it isn’t against the law

“If it’s you asking, I know it’s fine” She gives me a smile and I can tell she’s tired “Sit”

Istuff and pat the sofa next to raduated froot offered a job at Cox Investment She went in to interview to be a secretary but so the job of executive assistant to the CEO, Mr Cox I’ve never met the man but he keeps my sister busy I swear theto keep her at the office, and then other tiet her to quit I swear I don’t know if he likes her or hates her Men This is why I stay away from them It probably doesn’t help I saay tooup and I’ve decided dating isn’t for

Myra sits down next to h “He’s asked me to do the impossible” She drops back onto the sofa

“I don’t believe there is a thing you can’t do” I raise an eyebrow at my sister The woman is unstoppable I wish I had half her drive She’s always knohat she wants and goes for it I’s happen My job applications range fro in a library I have no idea what I want to do in life, I just know it’s not working in a restaurant The poor owner of 68 Diner triedsoh-stress situations and I do not s ten tis are on my plate I fold like a cheap chair
