Gabriel Madison walked through the courtyard of his college campus, noticing that some of the guys were snickering while leering at him. His brown eyes scanned the area immediately around him and he counted at least several other groups looking at him and he could feel the anger welling up within him. He looked across the courtyard and saw someone he didn't much care for, Travis, his big sister's boyfriend. Gabriel didn't like the way he spoke to his sister, nor how he spoke of her as well. He suddenly turned and approached Travis despite the fact that he had his cronies with him and tapped him on the shoulder.
Travis turned and sneered at Gabriel, "What's up with you little man?"
"What the fuck is your problem asshole?"
"Oh I see, now that you're eighteen you're all big and tough now huh?"
"What did you say about my sister? You didn't think I would find out?" Michael said. The anger clear in his voice, and he clenched his fists.
"What do you care? That shit is between me and your fucking slut of a sister." It was then that Travis noticed that Gabriel's fists were clenched so tight his knuckles were white. "What are you gonna do Gabe, hit me? Come on and take a swing, I won't even defend."
Gabriel was about to take him up on it when he heard a woman scream out his name as she ran up to them and turned to face the voice. He watched as his sister ran up to them and put a hand on both his and Travis' chest, separating them.
"Take it easy Travis, why don't you just leave my brother alone," Jessica said angrily.
"Fuck you slut, he came up to me and wanted to fight."
"You shut the fuck up!" Michael pushed forward, almost pushing his sister out of the way before suddenly feeling his arm being tugged on.
"Come on Gabe, let's go," Jessica said, pulling him away from the group.
"I'll see you around when your big sister isn't there to get you out of trouble," Travis said, an air of arrogance dripping from his voice, causing his friends to laugh like hyena's.
Gabriel suddenly turned and pulled free from his sister's grasp and stepped toward Travis, his fist balled tighter than he had ever felt before and he swung with a force that he didn't know he could possess. His fist connected solidly with Travis' cheek, sending him spinning to the ground. He looked down at Travis as he touched his face, unsure of what had just happened and spat at him, "Stay the fuck away from me and my sister you fucker."
"Since when did you get so big Gabe?" Jessica asked as they walked away. She ruffled his shaggy hair as she felt so much pride for her little brother, but that was soon replaced by concern. "You realize he's going to come after you now."
"Let him, I don't care. Why was he saying that shit about you anyways?"
"I finally dumped him, that's why. He stopped respecting me and wanted me to fuck him even though I wasn't ready. Then he slapped me and that's when I said enough was enough. If mom can kick dad out, then I can walk away from him."
"I'll be ready for him. Fuck the last class, what say we skip out and go get food somewhere and just go home?"
"That sounds good to me, wanna go to Jack's? It'll be my treat," she said, her mood lightening already as she headed towards their favorite local burger joint that was literally just down the street from the college. It was often a favorite hang out spot for a lot of the students that attended the local community college.
"Sounds good to me," he said as he felt the sudden shot of adrenaline slowing leaving him, which caused him to realize he was actually quite hungry. "I could go for a double and chili fries!"
Jessica laughed, "Not going to be a cheap date this time are you?"
"Sorry Jess, but I'm starving," he said, looking at her and smiling. She had called him her date before when they would get lunch, but this time the tone was different. He chalked it up to the sudden rush of adrenaline that he was sure was also coursing through her veins, though that didn't stop him from looking at her in a different light. She was larger than most girls, her hips wide and she had large breasts, much bigger than most of the girls at his school. She had what some would call a classic hourglass figure and her blonde hair fell just below her ears. He had heard some people say she was fat, but he thought differently. She was beautiful and he had a yearning to be closer to her than they were already were, a feeling that he had been noticing for some time now.
They got to the burger place, ordering their food before sitting down in a booth. Since most of the classes weren't out yet the place was fairly quiet and they were able to find a table off to the side. This time instead of sitting on opposite sides, Gabriel sat down next to his sister.
Jessica was surprised by his choice but didn't say anything, she actually felt better with him sitting next to her. As they waited for their food to arrive she put her head on his shoulder and leaned into him, enjoying his company. "Thank you Gabe, I couldn't ask for a better brother."
"Anytime sis, you know I'm always here for you. Though I guarantee I'll fuck him up if he tries anything again."
"I know that, but for now can we just forget about him? Right now I just want it to be you and me," she said softly. She loved how natural it felt to be sitting so close to him. She was always close to her brother, but this felt different. It was a feeling she had never felt with him, or perhaps it was a feeling she had never allowed herself to feel before.
"Sure thing," he said just as their food arrived. He looked up and thanked the worker before tearing into his food. He had finished his burger and most of his chili fries before he noticed that she had barely touched her food, gingerly picking at it. "What's the matter Jess?"
"Nothing, just not that hungry I guess."
