With one problem out of the way, I reached forward and pinched my fingers around Alesha’s bony upper arm. “Alesha Marie Roberts, consider this your official warning. Pull one more trick and you’re going to find yourself with a one-way ticket to New Hampshire.”

She wrinkled her nose at me. “New Hampshire?”

“Yeah, dad and I decided that sending you on a three-month vacation to Greece wasn’t exactly a fit punishment. So instead, we decided that if you can’t behave yourself here with me—under my roof—you’ll be going to spend the rest of the summer with grandma in New Hampshire.”

Alisha’s bottom lip protruded in a pout that I’m sure could’ve worked on a variety of suckers. Unfortunately for her—I wasn’t one of them.

“So get it together, or the highlight of your summer will be Friday night Scrabble tournaments where the most exotic thing on the menu is green Jell-O.”

She sucked her lip back in, obviously realizing that it wasn’t working, and jerked her arm out of my grip. “This is exactly why I didn’t want to come stay with you.”

“Because I make rules?”

Alesha crossed her arms. “Because you always have a huge stick up your ass. All I want to do was have a little fun! It’s Summer! But no! My stuck up prissy do-gooder sister hasn’t pulled the stick out, yet!”

I let out a sharp laugh. “Don’t you fucking start with me or I’ll put your ass back on that plane and call it a day.”

“See? Hard ass!”

“It’s called being an adult, Leash. You should try it some time. Daddy isn’t going to always be there to soften the blow when you mess up your life.”

She set her lips in a defiant purse and glared at me. “You mean like when he bought you a restaurant just so you could have a job somewhere?”

I was done playing games. “Come on. We need to get your luggage and then get out of here. I have to get back to work.”

Alesha muttered something under her breath as I tugged on her arm, dragging her towards the baggage claim. I did my best to block out her pitiful grumbling, knowing that whatever she was complaining about wasn’t my problem. It was my job to keep her safe and out of trouble. It wasn’t my concern whether she liked me or not.

Which was fine with me since I didn’t think I’d be winning any Sister of the Year awards anytime soon.
