3 Chapter 3: brother and sister reunion

"I thought you would never come back..."Lilly cried slowly looking up to her brother's bearded dark face.

Over the past few years he had gotten really dark, his once smooth tanned face was now a bearded dark face which she thought was just not a match for his handsome face, his overgrown beard was starting get on Jade's nerves so she pushed Lilly aside and started to pull on his beard as if she were playing tug of war.

"Shave it off, you should show your face...I don't like it." Jade said as she continued to tug on Antonio's overgrown.

"Shut it shrimp...I'm talking to my little sis." Antonio shushed as he pushed Jade's hand off of his beard and started to look down on Jade as if she were a little bug.

"I'm driving home with Antonio, someone come get Jade, she is still flirting with my brother..." Lilly sniffed pulling her best friend over to her side and whipped her tears with her sleeves, she then threw her keys over to Leo who was caught completely unguarded. After that she dragged her brother by the ear and walked to his groups of friends who were left unattended after Lilly had jumped into Antonio's embrace.

"She's not coming home tonight is she?" Tyra questioned leaning towards Leo's shoulders.

Mean while on the other side of the street Antonio and Lilly were catching up on things like drinking and even arm wrestling with a couple of his friends, they were happy to meet and have a hand to hand combat with Lilly cause they had never found a model who acted like a grown soldier. In the corner of Lilly's eyes she discovered someone who she had completely caught her interest.

The guy was handsome and slightly charming, it took her mind off of the whole engagement shit. The guy who she really didn't like in any romantic way he was charming and all but at the same he was the playboy of central city. She had been out drinking one night and saw Cane hand in hand with 3 women and she didn't really care about it because she just thought of him as her assistant and nothing more until she found out that he was her fiancée.

"Do you have an interest in him?" Antonio asked coming up behind of Lilly causing her to elbow his stomach.

Lilly looked at her older brother, "help me cancel the engagement with that ass; will you introduce us?"

"Sure, but we've tried to get mom and dad to cancel the engagement for years. They didn't believe us when we told them that he wasn't the right choice for you." Antonio said as he stood up and looked at his little sister.

"Did none of you not show them proof?" Lilly questioned picking up a cup of martini and chugging it down.

"Hey, calm down we gotta get you home tonight so you better stop drinking if you want me to introduce you to Dante...you've been drinking 10 cups of bloody marries, 5 cups of Martinis, and 2 cups of tequila, don't you think that's enough?" Antonio asked, over the past years he could tell she was getting good at holding her liquor she might possibly him and James, their second brother.

'Sexy name...' Lilly thought gently biting her bottom lips.

Putting down the cup Lilly walked to the a shooting range in the back of the bar and gently put on ear mufflers, she then picked up a hand gun and started to shooting at bulls eyes. Continuing to shoot in two minutes she was able to make shots directly in the bulls eyes and got 100 points accurately bringing eyes on her small figure. Way before her brother had gone to the military base he had taught her most of the things she knew such as fighting, shooting, boxing, most of these were the things that he liked.

She gently put the gun down and walked back to her brother who had been sober and hadn't drink anything expect for juice.

"You've been practicing your shots?" Antonio asked clearly proud of his baby sister.

In the corner of the room Dante had looked over at Lilly from time to time and he could see that she wasn't like other girls, I mean where do you find a model who shoots at the shooting range? and wins in a wrestling match with a group of full grown soldiers...and for her size its very impressing.

Seeing the two siblings walking towards him he stood up to greet Antonio. Lilly's heart started to ponded like a wild drum and she started to blush slightly, feeling her cheeks burn Lilly turned around and dashed away, she hadn't had these feelings in years and when she felt her heart beating like a drum she started to feel shy hence she ran away from meeting Dante.

Seeing his sister acting like a small and helpless rabbit Antonio turned around and saluted to the young General, though Dante was the same age as Lilly maybe older he had also been in the military service longer then him and he was his best friend.

   "Sorry bout my sister man...I think she has a major crush on you." Antonio teased after saluting and got into an eased position after Dante told him to.

   "I like her...are you sure she's a model though? I feel like her aura suits a boxer or maybe a sniper...." Dante commented as he still had his eye in the direction where Lilly ran off to.

   "I'm sure...she and her friends run their own fashion industry and Lilly does modeling along with Tyra and Jade the girls that I was with a few minutes ago," Antonio calmly answered, "I have to take her home so I'll see you tomorrow, and maybe you can hang out with us and then I can introduce you to her."

After saying that Antonio followed after the direction where Lilly went and searched for her to take her home and then he would ask his parents why his baby sis had moved out in a angry fit or why they still hadn't canceled the engagement between Lilly and Cane.
