The first time they kissed in front of me I instinctively cringed. I didn't mean to honest, but all little sisters can vouch for me that this is a normal reaction to when a guy kisses your older sister. On the lips no less! Did I hear all the little sisters say, "EWWW" ?!

And that was how I was introduced to Eli. He later bought me a big bag of M&Ms as a gesture of friendship. I, of course, was still weary of him. I gave him the stank eye when he handed it to me. I wanted the peanut butter filled kind and he bought the peanut kind. Hmm...this could be a problem. I spent the entire night watching him from the corner of my eye. I was trying to sum up this guy who had unabashedly kissed my sister in front of me.  Quite frankly, it wasn't a matter of not liking him but hunny it'll take more than a bag of not-the-ones-I'd-even-asked-for-M&Ms to steal my sister away from me!

There I said it. I haven't admitted it out loud to anyone, but let the truth be known today that I, Chatti, was seething with jealousy. I couldn't shake that gnawing feeling that he meant something to my big sis. That this Eli dude was more than just a silly crush. And that, of course, meant only one thing: CRAP, I'd have to share her! The months following the awkward boyfriend-little sister meeting I was subjected to phone calls from Lakana that centered around him. I responded like any little sister would do: I rolled my eyes. It was very clear that she likes him. Frankly, I preferred it when Lakana wasn't seeing anyone. Without the companionship of a boy, my sister actually needed me! I was afraid that this boy, this Eli kid, was going to ruin it all for us.  Somewhere in this brain of mine, I was afraid that she would start to love him more than me. It was irrational thinking.

Oh Internet, I tried to hate him, I did. I tried to find fault in everything that he did but when I saw how happy my sister was I couldn't help but start to like him. A little. Okay, I like him a lot! There I said it Eli and you're not going to get anymore out of me!

Matt and I did a quick 20 minutes shoot with them when we were out in California. Enjoy!
