Modern 1x1 With my Brother

[anii]

Alicia hears a loud BANG in the distance; her heart races as she begins to run. The lights flickered as she dashes through the dark alleyway, avoiding each puddle in her path. The red-haired woman raced around a corner as the alleyway ended, opening up to a broad street. Breathing heavily, she came to a stop, placing her hands on her waist. She pulled her jacket sleeve up a few inches, and glanced at her watch, it read 10:17 PM. After muttering a swear under her breath, she bolted down the sidewalk, and rushed into a nearby coffee shop, called "Havana Java."

Anthony walked up to the front counter, A fat lady stood behind it, "Alright may I take your order?" She mumbled. "Yes, I'd like a Chocolate-Chip Muffin and a Decaf please," Anthony said to the fat lady standing behind the counter. "All right, that will be $15.00," She scoffed. Such high prices for a cheap coffee shop! Anthony thought bitterly, he went to his table and sat down waiting.

Alicia sat at a booth next to a window, she sipped her hot coffee. Needs more sugar... Her thought was interrupted as she saw a familiar figure sitting at a table in the middle of the restaurant, "Oh crap," She mumbled, "Not again..." Alicia let out a sigh, and stalked towards the man. "Anthony, my brother." She said sternly, "How nice to see you." The woman said with a slight tone of sarcasm in her voice.

"Aha! There it is!" Anthony was talking about the sarcasm in his sister's voice. "Why have you come? Have you come crawling to me for money or something?" Anthony teased."What is it this time?" He asked, "cat needs medicine? Can't pay bills?Or you might just want money from me!" He snapped.

"Oh please, Anthony, I borrowed money from you one time." she retorted, "I didn't know you were in town- and that seems... err... strange if you ask me. It's not like that's my bushiness why you're here, nor do I care." Alicia crossed her arms, "But I am meeting someone here soon- for a very important meeting and- well the point is, I don't want you to screw things up. So beat it before this gets more awkward than they already are." she glanced to the door to see if her business partner had arrived, but there was no sign of him. She looked at Anthony and waited for a response.

Amusement glittered in Anthony's blue eyes. "I'll take my high priced meal and go then," he put on his jacket and walked out into the cold night, and he walked down the sidewalk. He took a large bite of his muffin, and walked the way to is house. By the time he got to his house, it was late, he heard a loud noise upstairs. What is that at this hour? Eh. Must've been the wind. He thought. And he went to bed.

"I'll see ya..." She walked back to her table, and took a sip of coffee. The person she was supposed to meet had not shown up yet, and she thought she was late. Alicia sighed and began to wonder where he could be, he shouldn't be late, this is a very important business meeting which could change her life!
