Chapter 20

Firstly, I wanted to thank everyone for 500 reads! I've made it over 500! I'm so happy! :)xxx

I hear soft snores. Must be Zoe.
I check the time and its 7:56am. Early. Too early. I drift back to sleep.

~~~

"Charlie wake up, quickly. I think I broke the kettle!" Zoe yells in my ear.
"Excuse me. Shit, you don't need to yell right in my ear." I state blankly.
"Well I kinda do, its taken me about 10 minutes to wake you. I've tried everything. I thought you were dead or something!" She said jokingly.
"Oh, sorry about that. So what do you need help with?" I ask sleepily. I get up and check the time. 10:58.
"The kettle is like over flowing, I can't get near enough to tip out the water or turn it off. I don't want to get burned." Zoe said.
"Here. Let me do it." I said, smiling to myself.
I grabbed a tea towel and wrapped it atound my hand, then grabbed the kettle, turned it off and tipped all the water down the drain. A bunch of steam came up out of the sink as I poured it down the drain. 

"Zo, look. There's a line on the side that says 'MAX', alright. Don't fill it past there." I say laughing.
"Shhhh. I'm tired. I never normally do that. Help me clean the bench." She says.
I grab some paper towel and press it onto the spilt water all over the bench. The paper towel soaks instantly so I put it in the bin and pull off a few more squares. I wipe the bench dry and put the paper towel in the bin.

"I'll make your coffee for you. Go watch TV or vlog or something." I say with a smile.
"Okay, I'll vlog." She replies, getting her camera out.
She faces the camera towards me while I put a teabag in my mug and put a spoon of coffee into hers. I put sugar in both and then fill the kettle and turn it on.
"So Charlie is so nice and decided to wake me up and make me a coffee!" She says.
I look to the camera and do a sarcastic smile.
"Only because someone doesn't know how to fill up a kettle so that it doesn't overflow on a Sunday morning." I laugh.
"Hey I was tired! Give me a break."

The kettle boils so I take it and fill Zoe's mug three quarters full. I fill mine all the way and stir them both and pour some milk in Zoe's. I take the coffees over to the table and sit down. Zoe sits with me and I turn on the TV. There's a Home and Away encore on from the whole week.

Zoe shoots me an unimpressed look.

"Its not that bad, really. Just watch it." I say.
"Its a soap opera. They're so predictable." She replies.
"Yeah but just watch. I wasn't even into it until like 2 weeks ago. You'll be hooked after like 3 episodes." I tell her.

~~~

"Its almost 4 pm, I think we should think about going home." I groan.
I don't want to get up. And Home and Away is on.

I make myself get up and turn the TV off.

"Um, excuse me. The episode wasn't over!" Zoe exclaims.
"Too bad, so sad." I say and poke my tongue out. "Get all your stuff together, we're going home now."

"Hey, I'm older than you, I should be the one who's fixing the kettle and forcing my cousin to leave and giving orders." Zoe says with a slight anger in her voice.
"You do at home, now come on. We're going. You can boss me around at home all you like." I tell her.
Slowly, she gets up and gathers together her stuff and shoves it all in her handbag. We throw the food in the bin unless its still in the packet and we get everything else and exit the room. I locked the door behind and walked down to the foyer of the hotel.

"Oh, good afternoon. Did you enjoy your stay?" The receptionist asked.
"Yes thank you, it was lovely." I answer as I hand over the key.
"You paid yesterday so you can leave now if you like." She said with a smile.
"Thank you, bye."
"Good bye, have a lovely evening." She replied and gave a small wave.
I walked out the main entry and got in the car. Zoe was already in the car because she had my keys in her bag.
I sat down and got my keys off the middle console where Zoe left them.

I drove home and pulled up in the drive way.
"No fans here today thank god." Zoe said.
I said nothing, I didn't know what else to say.
We both got out of the car and took all our stuff into the house.
I texted Caspar.

Me: Hey when are you coming home? x

He replied within a few minutes.

Caspar: Today, around 5:45. :) x doctors said to go easy though, you'll have to take care of me. :P

I told Zoe straight away.
"The boys are coming home tonight!" I exclaimed.
Her face lit up instantly.
"Really? So soon? The doctors are really letting them out already?" She asked, still excited.
"Apparently so. We need to take care of them though." I answered.

I texted Caspar again.

Me: I am having a visitor in the next few days, she's staying for a bit.

This time, Caspar's reply was almost as soon as I sent it.

Caspar: Oh really, who?

Me: Kayla, she's my best friend from high school. :)

Caspar: Cool, I'm excited to meet her. :)

Now I need to text Kayla my address.

Me: Kayla Bear! How long are you staying for? :) my address is 45 Greenwood Lane, Mosman. Let me know whenever you want to come. :) x

I'm so grateful that Kayla's a fast replier.

Kayla: Thanks Charlie! I'll be coming on Tuesday if that's okay! I don't know when to leave, if I like living near you I might just stay for a while! :)xx

Me: Aw mad! See you on Tuesday then! Love you!

Kayla: Love you too Charlie Bear!

She's coming on Tuesday... Today is Sunday. That's two days! Woah, she'll be here heaps soon!

"Zoe!!" I called out.

"Yeah what is it?" Zoe shouted back as I heard her walking to me from the kitchen.
"Kayla's coming on Tuesday. Is that all good?" I said as she stood in front of me.
"Thats great! Its as fine as fine could be!" She said, smiling.
"Hey, how long has Joe been single?" I asked.
"A few years, I haven't kept count. But a long time." She replied.
I gave her a suggestive look.
She got my hint.
"You reckon Kayla and Joe? Is he her type??" Zoe asked frantically.
"I don't think she has a specific type, but I know Kayla would like Joe, its just the question of whether he'd like her." I said.
"Well show me a photo of her or something, I might be able to taoe a guess." Zoe said.
I opened my Facebook app and typed in the search bar 'Kayla McKenzie' and clicked her name.
I clicked her profile picture and showed it to Zoe. I kept swiping through them all.
"Woah, she's gorgeous! He will definitely think so as well! I think this just might work Charlie!" Zoe said.
"She is gorgeous." Is all I say.
"You are too, my fellow Sugg!" Zoe says, poking my nose.
I laugh.
"Thanks Zo."

So this is Chapter 20! Thanks again for 500 reads! Enjoy, my lovely readers! Xxxx
