01. The Pilot
Nikolina's pumps clicked against the hardwood floor as she rounded the corner into the busy kitchen, her handbag strewn over her shoulder and sunglasses tucked into her naturally curly hair.
The girl made eye contact with her younger brother as she surveyed the chaos in the kitchen, receiving a raised eyebrow and a spin hand signal as he lent against the counter.
She raised both eyebrows in slight surprise and complied with the boys wishes, she did a slow spin around with her hands outwards showing off her outfit to the boy. From her black pumps to her blue low waisted skinny jeans to the high neck silk top she wore and hands adorned with gold bracelets and rings.
Her cherry lip-gloss tied the look together and gave off a fruity aroma that smelled ever so sweet.
The boy smiled after studying her outfit, giving her an adorable thumbs up which caused Nikolina to let a slowly growing grin to break out on her face.
"Good morning everyone." The girl said with an undertone of glee, Jeremy's small action filling her with a soft happiness.
"Morning Niki, don't you look nice" Jenna said with a smile as she rushed around the kitchen.
"okay!, toast, I can make toast!" said Jenna with false confidence, walking towards the toaster. "It's all about the coffee Aunt Jenna."
Nikolina grimaced at the mention of her new siblings favourite drink, a soft nudge to her shoulder bringing her out of her thoughts. Jeremy held out a warm mug for the girl filled with hot chocolate with two mini floating marshmallows, one pink and one white. Her Favourite.
With an appreciative smile the girl took the mug from his outstretched arms and wrapped her cold hands on the warm mug, stealing little sips every now and then.
"Morning агнешко" [ Bulgarian translation - Lamb ] Said Elena, pouring coffee into the mug held in her hands.
Jeremy watched the two with a soft smile at the nickname, having gone back to leaning up against the counter the boy swoops in gracefully stealing Elena's mug of coffee, the girl let out a groan of protest in his fleeing direction as he grinned.
Jenna let out a large sigh, "It's your first day of school and I'm totally unprepared." she rubbed her forehead and closed her eyes in disbelief. "Lunch money?" she asked with furrowed eyebrows and an outstretched hand after rummaging through her handbag.
"I'm okay, no thanks" Replies Elena as Jeremy takes the money from aunt Jenna, making his way back to Nikolina's side and passing her some of the money with a small nod. "Anything else, a number two pencil? What am I missing?" Jenna asked in exasperation.
"Don't you have a big presentation today?" Elena said at the same time as Nikolina asked " Don't you have some meeting thingy this morning Auntie?"
"I'm meeting with my thesis advisor at... " Jenna glances down at her watch and with panicked eyes says "Now, Crap!" She hurries taking out her hairclip and grabbing her bag. Jenna gives a nervous side grin walking backwards.
"we'll be fine, promise" Elena smiles at her panicked aunt.
