He was conflicted. On one hand, he really enjoyed Lilo's company, her attitude and banter, her easy way of being brutally honest and extreme, her looks, everything. On the other, the whole family would start hating him for even more reasons. Lilo was everyone's favorite. Lilo was the sister of someone who had long wanted to find a single flaw in Teja's new character.
Teja suddenly decided that he didn't give a shit what other people thought, and waited until she set her coffee down before leaning in for another kiss. It wasn't like he was going to let everyone else dictate his life, when he spent years working on carving out his life on his own, with nobody's help. She was attractive, single, and here. Fuck what anyone else thought. It probably wouldn't matter in a week, anyway.
