Sunday is 'Family Day'. But the thing is, my parents were almost never home. They always had this 'meetings' for their jobs and most of the time, they just stay at a hotel and sleep and shower there. And yes they have clothes at their cars. Uhuh, my parents are that prepared. So, every Sunday, I bond with my siblings.

I was supposed to have a big brother, but my mom had a miscarriage during her pregnancy of him. So it left them 3 girls, My elder sister, Tracy, Me, Tessa, and my younger sister, Tamara, but we call her Tami. We just chill outside sometimes when its hot, or watch TV when there's a nice show airing, or walk to the park. But this Sunday, it left me with Tami only, Tracy was heading to a university for college.

So right now, Tami and I are on our way to the park, she's meeting her friends there to play and i'll be there.... to watch her. 'Sunday Fun Day' huh? I rolled my eyes by the thought of it while sitting down the bench.

I brought my iPod and plugged in my EarPods, while selecting a song, I saw someone staring at me, and a familiar voice shouted at me from my back. I smiled.

"Hey there, loner." James said, smiling.

"Hey there loser." I joked.

"You guys get a room, okay? Not here. And Tessa, I have to teach you better comebacks." Joaquin said.

Geez. Quite an honest person huh.

"Wow, a good morning to you, too, Joaquin." I said.

"First of all, its 12:48pm, and I bet you haven't eaten lunch, so would you like to have lunch with us?" Joaquin said.

"I'd love to, but i'm with Tami right now."

"Who's Tami?" James asked.

"My baby sister." I smiled.

"Bring her with us, then." James said.

Woah, I've seen girls wishing for guys like James right now, well... girls on twitter but okay then! I guess its my lucky day, phew.

I called Tami from across the park and she said her goodbyes to her friends. I found her staring at me in the middle of the park when she saw me with two guys.

"Hey T-Tessa? You have guy friends now?" She finally said something. I liked it better when she didnt talk.

"Yeah, and were having lunch with them okay, so behave." I whispered.

"I'll do my best." She grinned.

"Cheeseburger without cheese?! Are you mad?!" Joaquin said, bursting out of laughter.

"Yeah, you have a problem with that?" I raised an eyebrow at him.

"N-no i-its I-I was s-shocked." He defended.

"That's what I thought." I said, smiling.

"Why dont you be useful and go with Tami to find a table for us?" James demanded.

As they were walking away, James added, "Damn are you sassy."

"S-stop i-it."

"What? All I said is that you're sassy...?"

"Ahhh y-youre making me feel n-nervous again. Feel it? I-I'm nervous, i'm stuttering and i-im-"

"Shh, okay i'll stop, you'll just have to get used to me complimenting you every once in a while" James said, smiling.

"So i'm guessing you'll always be beside me and around me, huh?"

"Yes, of cour-"

He got interrupted when Joaquin said, "Damn you love birds are taking so long! Tami and I are hungry!"

We laughed and walked to our tables. We were silent the first few minutes, since we all were eating and chewing and all that. But Tami broke the silence.

"Wait. I still don't know both of you."

James and Joaquin laughed. Then introduced themselves.

"I'm Joaquin, you can call me J, he's my brother and I love fries and burgers." Joaquin said, taking in a big bite of his burger.

"I'm James, his brother, and I-I like your sister." I blushed.

"So he's your boyfriend then?" Tami said, facing me.

"Finish your food." I demanded.

"But you didnt answer my question! Is he?"

"Yeah, am I?" James joked.

"We'll see, but if you guys will excuse me, I have to use the restroom." I said, grinning.

While I was walking towards the restroom and I heard Joaquin laughing so hard and I glanced. He was giving me two thumbs up.
