Chapter 7

"What'd you choose?"
"Raiders of the Lost Ark..."
"...I figured it's a classic relaxing kinda movie. Is that okay?" He looks at me.
"Yea, that sounds good. Plus I love Harrison Ford. Dinner will be here in 20" I hand him the beer and sit down next to him. He pats me on the thigh, leaving it there for a moment too long.
"Thanks sis" He looks at his hand and quickly draws it back looking slightly embarrassed. I realize something's going on. The movie starts to play and I distracted by it. My brother is shifting in his seat.
"Is everything okay?" I ask him, looking a little worried. He looks down then pauses the show.
"I don't know how to say this. But for a long time I've felt something strange." He turns to me and puts a hand on mine. I feel my heart beat a little faster. "The truth is I really admire you and...." He's interrupted by a knock on the door. I turn back to him, but his head is down.
"Ummm..... I'll be right back"
I get the pizza from the door and set it down. I didn't want to leave the conversation open with my brother so I head back to the living room. As I walk through the doorway I nearly bump into my brother. "Oh"

"I... I'm sorry. Forget it happened" He moves past me, getting a plate and some pizza as if nothing happened. The shift in gears delays my actions for a moment, but I finally get some food and return to the living room. I sit down next to my brother to watch the movie in silence.
I can't seem to shake what just happened to me. It wasn't that good of a kiss. I looked at my brother again, this time really looking at him. I finish my slice. I turn to my brother and he's engrossed in the movie.
"Hey, did you see I have a new cable box. It's got some cool features" I drop what I think is an intriguing hint, but I get no reaction. I stop the movie and check the settings. I change the style to Limited, now there's two options for Characters. First one I choose Marion Ravenwood, second one I choose Indiana Jones. Length is just for the Scene.
