I haven't heard from Mrs.Sinn all week. Not since I left her house the night the power went out. I'm a bit worried about losing the job, considering I haven't heard anything but I've been keeping myself occupied with extra shifts at the coffee shop, babysitting, and packing for college move-in day.
The grocery store is mostly empty today which I am thankful for because it means limited interaction today. I have to get some small things so I can make meals for the next few days and tonight is meatloaf and green beans. Looking over all the ground beef options I of course pick the cheapest option because I have to buy supplies for four other meals for the week.
"Well that doesn't look like an acceptable choice." someone comments behind me. I turn around still placing my meat in the basket on my arm. I look up to unfortunately see the faces of the three Sinn children. Alicia standing in the middle directly in front of me with her two brothers on either side. I have no doubts Jace made the comment about my choice of meat.
"Blue suits you." Alicia says, referring to my baby blue shirt. My cheeks warm at the compliment, "Thanks," I mumble looking down at my dirty old Converse. "We came to tell you, It's smart if you didn't show up to dinner tomorrow night." Jace tells me. Dinner? What dinner? "We don't need or want a babysitter." Alicia says as she lifts my chin with her fingers. Her hands are baby soft and they smell of cinnamon. "So you will tell our mother you can't make it." Alicia demands moving closer to my face. "Nod if you understand." Jace says.
I feel a little degraded doing this but the sooner they leave the sooner I can go about my shopping. I nod and Jace pats my head as if I'm some pet. "Good see you around." Jace and Alicia turn away from me going back to wherever they came from but Easton stays staring at me. He hasn't said anything this whole time. Not that he talks but still.
"If you show up it will be the most uncomfortable dinner of your life." He signs and walks away.
Uncomfortable? How? Honestly not much worse can happen to me. I try not to think about it too much and move on to collecting the rest of the food items I need to get before heading home.
Tonight my mom will be getting home late and I want dinner to be ready for her so she can have a hot meal. I still have no idea what dinner the siblings threatened me about, I wasn't invited to any dinner but that is the least of my worries.
I enter the house carrying all the bags on my arms to find my dad sleeping on the sofa. It always hurts my heart that my parents split up because of the accident. I can see they still value and love each other. Even respect one another but too many things were said and done and they separated. It's only been a couple of months but I wish they would fix things. It breaks my heart that he still comes here to be close. I know this house means a lot to him.
My father's traditional Indian parents paid for their wedding but he worked to build my mother her dream home, this home and this house is everything to him.
