Different But Loved

Chapter 3

I'm always the first one to wake up. It's 5:30 in the morning. I brush my teeth and hair. I'm never tired as I wake up I'm always happy to be alive but today it felt different for some reason.

I head down stairs but stop when I hear someone voice.

"Just keep him there until I return-"

"Good morning?" I say as I see uncle Richard at the end of the stairs. He looks up at me and smiles.

"Lan just take care of it." He hangs up the phone and looks at me confused. "Why are you up so early?"

"I'm actually late, I wake up at 5 but since I didn't sleep early yesterday I slept thirty minutes more. I'm always up before anyone to make breakfast." I smile at him and jump off the last step.

"Please excuse me uncle Richard." I head to the kitchen and I could feel him right behind me.

I'm planning to make a buffet since uncle Richard is here. I look back and see him sitting on the stool looking at me, like if I'm some kind of fragile glass cup.

I turn around and take the bacon, ham, eggs, sausage, fruit, pancake mix. I go to the cabinets and take out the waffle mix since I didn't make any yesterday morning.

Omelets, fruit pancakes, waffles anything you could imagine I made. Uncle Richard left after I started on the bacon. He got a call. I was so into the cooking that I didn't see the time.

"Good morning Maya." I turn around to see all my brothers without shirts like always standing with big grins on their faces. They know they will be eating good like kings.

"Thank you lord for giving us this blessing of a cook." Henry say as he spreads his arms almost hitting Iwan as he walks in and I saw him make a face that showed annoyance.

"Good morning Maya." he says to me with a smirk. He saw the blush that ran through my face once I saw him without a shirt. The only thing I could do was smile to him. The only once that had shirt besides the girls were my dad and uncle Richard.

Everyone is sitting at the dinning table eating and saying how good of a cook I am.

I know I am.

I smile at myself and eat my bacon. I love when people say that I am good at things.

"It's almost time." My dad says, letting us know that we need to get ready for church. "Will you be joining us Richard?"

He looks at me for a moment. "Will Maya be going? " He asks and I nod my head 'yes' at him. He nods his head 'yes'. "Boys?" He questions them if their going or not.

"Yeah."

"Yup."

"Yes."

"Alright Maya go get ready I'll take care of the dishes." My mom picks up my empty plate.

I open my closet to get my navy blue dress out that Mike bought me and I very much loved it. For a guy like Mike he had great taste in clothes.

No he's not gay. I am pretty sure that a girl help him choose it.

I place the dress on and head to my bathroom not really my bathroom since it's down the hall and take out my curling iron.

As I'm doing my hair the door swings open and I see Jason with his suit on. He looks at my dress before perking his lips and nod in approval.

"What? If you didn't like it would you of have made me change." I smile at him but what he says makes me roll my eyes.

"Yes I would have made you change." He laughed before messing with my hair.
