Brian went back to his bedroom to change out of his school uniform and then came back to my room to catch up. I was still at my desk on my laptop when Brian walked in "Phillip! It's the summer holidays, put your computer away, for fake sake" said Brian as he sat on the side of my bed. I turned off my laptop, got up from my chair, and was about to walk over to my bed when Brian fixed my shorts "Much better Phillip, that is a great haircut" said Brain with a great smile on his face, I just looked at Brian "You have real matured, deep voice, tall, a bit stocky not fat but muscular, stubble on your face, oh yes you took my bedroom Brian" I replied.
Brian laughed "I am too tall for my old bed Phillip, look," Brian said as he lay back on the bed "See what you mean, did you forget something when you moved into my bedroom?" I replied "Like what Phillip," said Brian sitting up on my bed " Your clothes" I replied fixing the lace on my right trainer. "All my old clothes were given to a charity shop Phillip, why?" "Your clothes and my record player with my records and other stuff that belonged to me were given to a bloody charity shop! my comics, books, DVDs, models that I built, clothes, and posters in the skip. There is nothing of mine in my old bedroom, it's gone. I can't unpack my bags because the chest of drawers is full of clothes, and the big wardrobe is locked" I replied.
"Phillip what's in the chest of drawers," Brian said getting off of the bed and walking over to the chest of drawers, pulling the top draw out "It's full of shorts" he said with a smile. Brian pulled the second draw out "So is this one, Phillip just keep your clothes in your bags for the main time" Brian said closing the second draw shut "Do you have the key to your wardrobe" I asked Brian "Phillip I take a look for it" Brian already had the key to the wardrobe in his Jeans pocket.
As Brian was looking for the key "Phillip I think all of your stuff from your bedroom was put in the skip!" I looked over at Brian "That's what I just said Brian" I replied "Phillip you better get yourself new stuff for your bedroom" said Brian. "Did you find the key yet Brian?" I ask walking over "Does it look like it, Phillip!" Brian gives me a look "Don't give me that look, Brian, going to the bathroom" I replied. Once I left my bedroom, Brian took the key out of his pocket and opened the wardrobe, he had a big smile on his face at what was in front of him, on the rack were 10 suit shorts, on the shelves, were tank tops, sweaters, jumpers, short sleeve shirts, long sleeve shirts, shoes, sandals, skull caps.
"Where is Phillip's school uniform" said Brian when he heard me coming back from the bathroom, closed the wardrobe doors and locked them. I walked in "Phillip can't find the key" he said to me when I came in "No worries" I replied. "Brian, are you taking Gardener as your surname" I ask him "Why? Are you Phillip" Brian pretended not to understand my question, "Mr Gardener said you would...he has tried to convince me to change my surname to his, you forgot to tell me on our last web chat, that are Mum got married to Mr Gardener, Brian" I replied.
"Must have slipped my mind, Phillip but the wedding was good?" said Brian sarcastically "Not good or funny" I replied. We head downstairs to the kitchen for something to eat "Brian you still eat tuna and jam sandwiches" "Yes Phillip" Brian said sitting down at the kitchen table "Great" came my reply, while I was making are snack Mr Gardener came walking into the kitchen, I turned around "Mr Gardener do want a sandwich" I ask him "Not at the moment Phillip, what are you boys doing after you eat!" replied Mr Gardener "Me and Phillip are going for a drive John".
I put Brian's plate in front of him [did Brian just say John instead of Mr Gardener] I thought "Who is driving" Mr Gardener asked "I am sir" "Phillip don't talk with your mouth full young man, bad manners" Mr Gardener replied with a bit of a tone in his voice "Brian is driving, not you Phillip" "It's my car, sir! Brian is not insured to drive it" I replied. "I put Brian's name on the insurance while you two were upstairs, talking young man," said Mr Gardener, I took my phone out of my shorts pocket and checked "Well Phillip! Who's name is on the insurance" I looked up from my phone "Brian, not mine" came my reply with my phone still in my right hand.
"Hand over the keys to Brian young man," said Mr Gardener, took out my keys from the left pocket of my shorts and handed them over to Brian "It's your car now Brian" Mr Gardener said sitting down at the kitchen table. "There is no point in you looking at me like that Phillip" "We just got to know each other, and you think what's best for me by taking my car and giving it to my brother! probably he forgot to tell me that he drives" I said looking at him.
Mr Gardener had a grin on his face "Phillip finish off your sandwich young man and wash your brother's plate while doing yours" said Mr Gardener, Brian gave me a tap of his right boot to my ankle. Once I washed the plates me and Brian left the house and headed down the street to my car, Brian got in the driver's seat and me the back seat.
