FIFTEEN

Holy waffles!
I could feel drool dribbling down my chin as I stared at the honey crisped wonderful creation that Sherra had made.

"I take it you like waffles?" Conn came from behind. He smirked when he saw my expression. "I'll definitely be writing that down".

I couldnt take my eyes off the food, not even too glare at Conn.

"How did you sleep Elinis?" Sherra set a full plate on the counter and waved me over.

I moved so fast I think I managed too give myself whiplash. And everyone else for that matter.

My mouth was stuffed when I finally answered, "I slept fine".

"Conn snores doesnt he?" Dan asked.

Not that I noticed.

Conn gave his Dad a dirty look.

The older man gave an oblivious shrug before pouring himself some coffee.

"Any plans for today boys?" Sherra wondered. She glanced between us.

"Pond".

"No".

"You could take Zues outside".

That I wouldn't mind.

"Sounds like a plan. Play with Zues then hit the water".

I frowned at the last part.

Why was he so set up on visiting the pond?

Conn didnt even eat and he was already trying to get outside, but I wasnt budging until my plate was empty.

He figured that out after a few seconds.

Waffles were no joke too me.

I took my sweet time too. Just too piss him off.

But eventually I ran out.

Then it was off to the outdoors.

-------------

I sat on the bottom step (at the base of the hill) and watched as Conn somersaulted through the grass. Zues was barking his head off at the guy, tail wagging furiously.

I wondered if, even as a dog, Zeus realized his master was an idiot.

"Get up already Elin!" Conn called. This was his fifth attempt already.

I didnt oblige last time and I wouldnt this time either.

"I'm not a big fan of rolling around in grass." I said dryly, "I mean, arent there ticks around here?"

He waved me off, "Your no fun at all".

Niether are you dumbass.

I think I preferred work Conn over outdoor lover Conn.

A few minutes passed before Conn stood up and came over. He sat down with a big "Ooomph".

Zeus followed him.

"Throw this".

Conn handed me a small branch.

"Why?"

"Just do it". He sighed.

"Fine".

I did as he asked. Not a second later, Zues was tearing after the object.

"You know, you make the most simplistic things hard".

That definitely wasnt a compliment.

Zues returned with the stick in his mouth. He dropped it at my feet and waited.
