You Again

Grated Cheese

After everyone came back from swimming, it took a couple of hours to settle in.

"Everyone! Get your lazy butts down here!" Lillian shouted loudly at the bottom of the stairs. 

Eric laid on his bed, reading a book in his hands while Thomas was giving Oliver fashion advice in their room. Will was sitting on his bed as he tried to concentrate as much as he could on the Biology textbook he was reading with a pen that he played in his hand and a messy notebook sitting beside him. 

 Eli was out on the balcony with Tiana and Nessa, they looked out and admired the sunset as they talked quietly. 

Lara and Rose were laying upside down onto the couch in the living room with the tv on in front of them with Friends played on the screen. 

"It's time to bond!" Lillian shouted again, her voice even louder than the first shout. 

Eric cocked an eyebrow and sat up, making his way to the top of the stairs as he looked down at Lillian. "Why are you yelling?"  

She glowered at him. "Because no one is listening to me." 

"I'm coming." He replied, slowly walking down the stairs. 

"Tell them to get down here or I'm going to get them myself." She spat angrily, her eyes forming into slits as she yanked on his shirt pulling him down to her level. 

Eric's eyes grew large. "Yes ma'am." 

She smiled and pinched his cheek lightly, letting him go of his shirt after. "Love you."

He sprinted up the stairs, sprinting into the boy's room. "Everybody get downstairs or Lil is going to come here herself." 

Their eyes grew large as they stopped what they were doing, shoving past Eric as they all sprinted down the stairs. 

Eric moved his way to the girl's room, opening door to Eli already running past him with Tiana and Nessa slowly walking behind towards the door. 

Once everyone got downstairs, Lillian decided that the guys should make dinner while the girls sat in the living room watching tv. 

"I think this is perfect." Tiana beamed as she laid her head on Nessa's lap who was sitting onto the couch. 

"This should happen more often." Lara smiled. 

"What are you guys cooking anyway?" Rose shouted. 

"I don't know." Oliver poked his head out from the kitchen. "I'm just following Eric." He answered, going back into the kitchen. 

Lara wiggled her eyebrows at Nessa. "He knows how to cook?"

Nessa pretended to gag. "Don't look at me like that."

After the guys were finished cooking, they served creamy pasta that smelled and looked delicious with roasted vegetables on the side. They ate in silence and happiness. 

"This is delicious." Lillian moaned as her eyes rolled back, stuffing another spoonful of pasta. 

"You're welcome." Eric smiled smugly as he popped the collar that was not on his shirt. 

Nessa rolled her eyes. 

"Hey! We cooked too." Eli pointed out. 

"I don't care who cooked it it's so good." Rose stuffed her face with more pasta. 

Will picked up the remote and switched it to Netflix. "You guys want to watch a scary movie?" 

They all nodded while Nessa frowned and shook her head.
