Claire was crying. It hurt me to see her like this. I only saw her crying once before. Walking over, I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into a standing position. I cupped her cheeks in my hands and wiped the tears away with the pads of my thumbs.
"Shhh.... I'm here Claire. It's gonna be okay." I looked deep into her hazel eyes, getting lost in the mixture of colors. I slowly leaned in and her eyes fluttered shut. The scent of her green apple shampoo filled the space around us. Then- I shot up from my laying position at the sound of my alarm's persistent ringing. Oh that was weird. I stripped down and jumped in the shower, letting the frigid water stream down and dissipate any trace of grogginess left in me. I quickly got ready for school before heading to Monica's room. Her back was to me, so I scooped her up into the air and spun her in circles above me. I set her down after a while.
"Hey Mona Lisa! Ready for school?" She giggled.
"Yeah. Are you gonna make me breakfast today Bubby?"
"Do you want me to?" She nodded vigorously.
"Okay my little work of art. Let's go." I squatted down and let her climb on my back, wrapping her arms around my neck. I put out my arms, making airplane noises, as I piggy-backed her to the kitchen. I stopped in front of a stool and turned around for her to get off. Just as I opened the fridge in search of something to make, my doorbell rang. Who could that be?
"I'll get it!" Monica rushed to the door.
"Monica no!" Too late, she already opened the door as I rushed after her.
"Monica! What have I told you about stranger danger? It's a good thing it's only Tiger."
"Tiger?" Monica scrunched up her nose and looked up at the red-head.
"You don't look like a tiger...." Claire laughed.
"I'm not a tiger. You're silly brother made me that name. What's your name?"
"I'm Monica!" she stated proudly, grinning and showing off her missing tooth. Claire squatted down to look at my sister.
"That's a very pretty name. Reminds me of a beautiful painting. The Mona Lisa. Have you heard of it?"
"Yeah! Bubby calls me that!" Claire looked up at me.
"Bubby?" I put my hands on my hips and smirked at her.
"Yep. Jealous much?"
"Sorry Bilyk. I have better things to do with my time than be jealous of you." I rolled my eyes.
"We're sitting down for breakfast want some?" She gave me an incredulous look.
"What? You were the one who texted me to come at 5:30 in the morning because you wanted to get to school early!"
"What? No I didn't! I said 6:30."
"Check your phone moron."
"Fine. Get ready to be proven wrong!" I flicked through my phone.
Me: be @ my house early tomorrow.
Tiger: Why? -CL
Me: cause i wanna be @ school early
Tiger: What time Bilyk? -CL
Me: 5:30 am
I winced. Oops? Scratching the back of my neck, I sheepishly looked at her. Her lips were set into a smug smile.
