Lost in Time

CHAPTER 5 DEPARTURE

Time really fly so fast. The schools over and we were heading to the airport. Time to spend some time with grandma.

We haven't seen her for 3 years. That's a long time you know. I remembered the happy moments we've spent together with my brother. Mom and dad's always busy. They barely have time to spend a nice vacation with us.

The last 3 years we just spent our vacation at home. Dying with boredom. Lucky for Roe he has friends to hang out with. I'm a loner for crying out loud.

Well I guess I should be more friendly then. The dreams were still there but we've learnt to ignore it. We reached the airport and our parents lead us to the departure area.

"Be careful you two." Mom said while we walk.

Dad's carrying my suite case and walking beside Roe. We walk ahead of them, I'm holding my mom's hand.

"They should be careful with us" Roe answered with a smirk. Mom glared at him.

"Don't dare get into trouble young man." Mom warned him. Dad just laughed at them and I joined him as well.

"Give the kid a break Rebecca. He's just teasing you." Dad said while laughing.

"I swear if you get into trouble you can kiss your dream of having your own car goodbye" she said with a serious tone.

My brother flinched and dad laughed even more.

"Uh-oh!" Dad teased Roe even more nudging his shoulder.

"Aw come on mom? Really?" He whined. He really wanted to have his own car.

"That's a promise. Now you better behave." Mom's now smiling. She's really good with her parenting skill.

"Don't worry mom. I'll keep him on a leash. Besides we wouldn't want to lose that good looking car would we Roe?" I joined the conversation.

Enjoying how my bully of a brother tatse his share of being bullied. He just glared at us but stay quiet. He's handsome face turned into an adorable pout. We laughed even harder at him.

Looks like me and mom are not the only childish in the family. We continued to walk laughing at Roe's pouting face. Not liking how we made fun out of him.

"I'll have my revenge soon and I'll laugh at you all." He muttered under his breathe but I managed to hear it.

He really hates being teased. Typical Roland.

We kissed our parents goodbye as we both walk all the way to got on the plane. I was still grinning at my mom's last word.

"Keep your brother on a leash Robin. I mean it. And Roe? You know what will happen." Mom said in a very serious tone.

I really can't help but secretly laugh at my brother. I'm already enjoying this vacation.

Our plane arrived an hour later.

Grandma is waving at us enthusiastically at the waiting area. She's very energetic for a sixty year old woman.

Nothing has changed since the day we lasy saw her 3 years ago. Roe quickly hugged her lifting her in the process.

"I missed you granny!" He said kissing her cheek and settling her back to stand.

"How did you grew so big and tall Roland?" She asked in a hyper mode tone.

"Well I guess I eating my green leafy vegetables really works granny." Roe answered in a very playfull tone. Granny just slap his shoulder. Always a tease. He really loves our grandma though. She turn to look at me and her smile widened.

"Oh Robin, look at you. Your so beautiful. Give your granny a hug." She said looking at me with wide eyes that shows love and adoration. I bet she's far more beautiful than me on her younger years. I smiled at her and hugged her tightly.

"I've missed you too granny." I chuckled as she hugged me back.

She leads us towards her car. For an old lady she's surprisingly has enough energy to drive her own car.

"I can drive for you granny. I already have my driver's liscence." Roe asked politely. He sure wanted to drive us to granny's home.

"Oh, your such a gentleman Roland. Of course you can. Here!" She said handing her car keys to him.

We settled in the backseat and Roe started driving. Soon we arrived at Raven Valley. Our granny's home town.

Roe parked the car outside granny's bungalow house and we quickly got out of the car to settle for our tiring day of travelling. We ate dinner and immediately went to bed. What a tiring day it is.
