Graceland 101

Chapter 97

The sun peeked from behind the clouds to stream into my twin's room. Mikey woke up to get ready for his usual morning run. He went downstairs and out the kitchen door to stretch. Later on, he runs down the beach. BD is waiting for his usual pet. They enjoyed this alone time together.

Our houses are now awake and noisy. I woke up to get ready. Jakes brews some coffee for them to drink. He mixes my hot chocolate to leave it on the island in my tumbler. Both of us greeted each other. I took out a glass and the mugs. 

George and mom are cooking breakfast at the stoves. I took out the remaining place settings to put them on the stoves. The team sets our kitchen table together. All of us hang out around the kitchen area. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves.

Breakfast is promptly served at 8:00 am. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in their assigned seats at the tables. Mikey and I are sitting on the couch using our coffee table. We ate together like one big happy family. Soon after eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

The team exchanged our goodbyes to each other. Later on, we locked our front doors. All of us head to the cars and trucks. Our driveways and houses are now left vacant. Everyone else went to their missions. 

George and I went to the farmers market. Both of us parked in it's parking lot. I took out the list that had Mom's writing as we walked around checked off what he put in our basket. We split the payment for the goods.

Soon after that we made a quick pit stop to his house to put away their food. Graceland bound for us that afternoon. He pulls into our driveway. Minutes after that I opened the door for us to go inside the house. George closes the door behind me.

We put down our stuff on the couch to unpack the bags. George went into the kitchen to get drinks and snacks. I found something to watch on the tv. We relaxed together on the couch. Our shoes are kicked off.

 I went upstairs to take a quick bath. The team came home from work. Everyone else greets each other in the family room. George mentions his goodbyes to us. He went in the direction of his place.

Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in their assigned seats at the tables. Mikey and I are sitting on the couch using our coffee table for the food. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

Everyone splits up in their own directions. I am playing the guitar. Seconds after that Mikey is sitting on our bed. He starts singing a song. This floats through our house like the ways it always works.

George and Mom cooking our dinner at the stoves. I took out the place settings to put them on the island. The team sets our kitchen table together. All of us hung out around the kitchen areas. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves.

Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in their assigned seats at the table. Mikey and I are sitting on the couch using our coffee table for the food. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

We broke up in our usual boys vs girls groups. Our girls and sister cleared the tables. I wiped down every surface with a rag. Daddy washes the dishes to refill it with the wet ones. The guys are getting our cooler with the drinks and ice.

 Everything is put back in it's regular places. All the kitchen lights are turned off. Later on, we head to the beach. Bonfire time begins that night. We settled down in our spots. Drinks are passed around the circle.

Story time is in full swing now. A long break is taken to get refills for our drinks. Jokes are also told during this time. Our laughs are heard at each end of the beach. As for the stars shone brightly over our heads as the fire crackled in front of us.

I walked back up the shore to our house. Upon my arrival left the lights on for the others and put my bottle in the sinks. Within minutes that I went to our room to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Mikey follows my cue. Both of us changed room in our house.

Mikey is sitting next to me on the chaise. We are cuddling with each other. Seconds later he begins reading the book to me. I took the book from him to read my chapter. There's one more passing of the book to it's owner. It is rested on the table.

Within minutes our family came in dragging the cooler with them. The elders added their bottles to our sinks. As for the younger one threw away their juice boxes in the bins. I unpacked the cooler. Mikey threw away the bottles and dumped the ice. The team head upstairs to get ready for bed.

Our family returns into the room. They sat down on the couches or in it's surrounding areas. Our tv sets are turned on. John chose something for them to watch from the box. He added extra volume for us to hear from the living room. 

We stretch our legs after a while of sitting down. Everyone stood up to mention goodnights to each other. Mikey gave me the usual forehead kiss. The team did the same thing just with my cheeks. I relaxed on the chaise.

Seconds later a quick bathroom break is made. I jumped into our bed. Pedro is in my arms. Counting sunglasses time begins now. I am fast asleep. Meanwhile in the family room with the team still watching tv. As the laughing is dying down slowly now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team heads upstairs to their own bedrooms. Nat walks into our shared one to join her dolphin. Everyone else joins Mel soon in dreamland that night.
