"Lyene! Get up!" Dean opens my room door and runs to my bed. "Lyene!!" he shouts near my ear.
"Shut up, Dean! Go away!" I pull my pillow to cover my face from sunlight. He opens the curtain to wake me up.
"Oh my gosh, Lyene Claire Murray, wake up! You need to get ready!" he shouts while jumping on my bed.
"Okay, okay. Calm down! By the way, where are we going?" I throw my pillow to his chest so he will stop jumping on my bed. I sit up and wait for his response.
"It's your third day in London and you just spend your whole time in this flat and sleeping? Oh, come on! I'll take you to the park, let's hang out, sissy!" He leans over my head and kisses my forehead. "Go get a shower you stinky!"
"You too! Get yourself well dressed, idiot!" I watch him giggle as he walks over my bedroom.
I'm living with my older brother, Dean, on his flat, London. My parents are in Doncaster.
My mum asked me to move into London with him because I was bigger now and it was better for me to start living without my parents and I needed to study hard. Although I refused, I convinced her that I could live with them and I could study hard, she said that the situation was different. So here, I am, living with my protective brother, over protective brother exactly when we are apart from our parents. I know he loves me, but sometimes he's way too far and turns into a monster!
But honestly, I'm happy living here with him. I miss him because he has been living here for two years when I was still at Doncaster. My mum drove me here and the next day she went back to Doncaster. My dad was doing his jobs, he was at Essex when mum and I drove here. They both were busy because of their jobs actually, sometimes they left me alone at home and they went back home at midnight. When Dean hadn't moved, he used to look after me. But then he needed to move here because mum had asked him and he got scholarship in one of the best university in London. And now, I'm at the same university with him even though my mum was the one who applied it for me.
After I took a shower and put myself in a pair of jeans and a pink pastel sweater, I tie my hair to a ponytail and go downstairs to the kitchen.
My brother has already been there as he's waiting for me to get finished. He makes sandwiches for two of us. He puts the sandwiches on the dining table where I sit waiting for breakfast.
"Here you go, I made breakfast for you." He sits next to me and grabs the sandwich.
"I know, thank you." I murmur as I'm chewing my delicious ham sandwich. Then I look for an orange juice in the fridge. "Do you want some?" I offer him. But before he answers, I pour him some.
I hand him a cup of orange juice and I turn back again to wash my hand. "Thank you ugly," he hugs and kisses my cheek like I were a teddy bear.
"Ah, stop it you arse! I'm 17!" I sometimes get annoyed when my brother treats me like I was still five years old. He hides my phone, he tickles me until I do what he wants, he captures me while I'm sleeping, he shocks me from behind when I'm seriously watching the telly, he is so mischievous!
"Hey, hey, you can't shout and say bad word to your lovely brother like that! Say sorry!" He teases me.
"Sorry!" I roll my eyes.
"Good girl!" He giggles. "Let's go, it's still morning so there will be a lot of people walk their dogs in the park. You'll love it."
We go to the driveway and I take the passenger seat. He drives me to the park, but not the park that near our flat. Whereas, it's just about two blocks away!
When we are arrived at the park, I walk around looking for cute puppies I can play with. Dean sits on a bench under a tree taking pictures of me and then typing. I bet he is texting mum. I enjoy the park so much. It's spring so the weather is quite warm, flowers start appearing, laughter of children, cute dogs are playing, it's so peaceful.
I walk to the bench where Dean has already sat there enjoying the park by gazing everything that exist in this place. I sit besides him and lean my head on the back of the bench. I close my eyes for a while because it is pretty tiring after half an hour played with the dogs.
"Do you want me to get you some drinks?" He offers me.
"No, thanks. I'm just a little bit tired."
"How are you? I mean your condition now, are you getting better?"
"Yup, mum took me to the hospital for some treatment and I felt so much better." I know where he refers to. Doctor said I was allergic to cold.
"Such a relief." He sighs.
"So, how's your collegian life? Do you already have girlfriend?" I chuckle.
"I'm confused about whom I should pick because I'm too charming." He acts so cool.
"Ew, it's disgusting." I frown.
"You will see the proof when you start entering the school then."
"I can't wait! I bet you not to lie, because you are going to pay me something if I find the truth!" I punch his arm.
"Pay what? Kisses? Deal."
"No! A big size McDonald's super cheesy burger with french fries!" He tickles me after listened to my answer. He knows how much I love 'cheesy' foods and I never stop asking him to buy me foods with cheese flavor.
We talked about everything, we shared our laughter together after two years we had buried our yearn. He rarely went home so we used to talk via phone. We both missed each other. So we spent our time there having a brother-sister time with the outburst of joy.
