My eyes slowly open as I come back to reality. The sun was no longer shining in the center of the sky as I grab my phone from my modern nightstand.
I had slept well for about 2 hours, 'Shameless' was paused as it read 'Are you still watching?'.
An obscure smell of food flies into the air through my nose as I stand to stretch.
I look in the mirror, combing my hair with my fingers as I yawn.
Walking out my door, down the stairs and into the kitchen I see Mom and Leah busily cooking dinner.
"What's for dinner?" I ask as I observe their actions on the stove.
"Mushroom carbonara and roasted steaks" Mom smiled as she gave a spoon for me to taste.
"Can I help with dessert?" I suggested as I join them on the other side of the counter.
"It'll be ambrosia tonight" Leah responds handing me a bowl of washed strawberries, "Cut these".
I simply washed my hands and sat on the counter with a strawberry huller in my hand which I used to remove the leaf stems.
"You should thank Rafe for what happened today" Mom says looking over at me.
"Pfft." I scoff before looking back at her serious face, "I don't need to thank him"
"He saved you out there, it could've been worst" she replied dropping her shoulders with a frown.
"I didn't ask him to, he probably just wanted attention. Rafe is Rafe so whatever"
"Who wanted attention?" a voice behind me speaks causing me to jump in shock.
I turn around to see Rafe's fierce blue eyes staring down at me, so close I could feel his breathing tingling my ears. Sarah, Wheezie, Rose and Ward enter the kitchen followed by my Dad.
Shit.
"Welcome! Just on time, dinner is ready" Mom smiles as Leah gives Sarah a hug.
Rafe brushes past me with a smirk across his face as I'm in my seat startled.
He probably witnessed the entire conversation, I mean I wouldn't be surprised if he was eavesdropping.
"How are my two angels?" Dad kisses my forehead giving a big warm hug to both Leah and I before we all sit in the dining room.
Everybody sits on the dining table as Sarah taps the seat next to her signaling to sit.
"Mushroom carbonara and roasted steaks!" Mom announces as she sits on the end of the table.
