I looked at her and smiled. I thought about throwing back something sarcastic, but there was no point in trying to deny her anything. “I am seriously in love with Aunt Julie.” I repeated, holding her gaze. Julie was so beautiful with the sunlight in her hair. I licked my lips as my mouth went dry.
“You are?”
“Yeah. I mean, yes,” I answered with the slight correction. Julie was always complaining that I sounded like one of her teenagers. “Yes, I am.”
“Are you guys gonna kiss, because I’m so outta here if you are.” Andrew demanded from his perch across the room.
Julie nodded slowly, not taking her eyes off me. “I think we are.”
“Ew!” Andrew shouted and hopped off of his chair. “Gross.”
“Bye, kid. Tell your grandparents we’ll be a minute.” I said, pulling Julie into my arms.
Andrew had to have the last word. “Lesbiablesbianlesbian!” he taunted as he ran from the room.
