- Leila -

With very aggressive thumping on the door, I'm awakened. I try gathering my clothes, I find my top on the floor and my bralette in between the sheets, I quickly dress up and throw a pillow on Matty's head so he'd wake. Right now i'm just glad we locked the door. "Leila open the door, what's going on?" Nanna says from the other side of the door as she continues knocking. "Wuht?" Matty asks rubbing his eyes in his thick british accent, "Get dressed!" i yell-whisper to him pointing at the door so he'd realize that Judy is two seconds from breaking that goddamn door.

He gets up and puts on his pants as I try arranging the bed sheets so they'd look like we didn't have a full on intense makeout session last night. "One second." I scream back to Judy who's yelling words I honestly can't make out but it's probably just her cursing or something. "Hurry!" I howl at him, he buttons up the last of buttons of his shirt and I finally open the door, "Judy! Mornin'" I say stretching then scratching the back of my head and pretending to yawn.

The expression on her face displays her dissatisfaction but nonetheless , she doesn't say anything about it. "Breakfast is ready, come eat while it's still hot" she says and leaves thankfully. I let out a sigh of relief then throw myself onto the bed next to Matty. "That was close." He says and I giggle. "Let's go now I'm thirsty." I say earning a dirty look from him, I slap his chest playfully, "Pervert." I add making him chuckle. We both sprint down the stairs excitedly like little toddlers.

"While you're here might as well run some errands, I wrote a list of things I want from the market, after you finish your breakfast I'll fetch you my car keys." Judy orders both of us. We nod diving into our plates of omelets, sizzling bacon, some fried beans and orange juice. She leaves the kitchen to us, we quietly chew our food until we're done, I place both of our plates in the sink then go to the bathroom to wash up my hands and my face. After I was done Matty went in to do the same.

"Leila" I hear Judy call from downstairs, "Get your ass down here these dishes aren't gonna wash themselves." Ugh. I also have to wash dishes? I didn't do that in my own home. No wonder why I always had takeout meals. I put my phone back in my pocket then get down the stairs so I'd make Nanna's wish and do the dishes.

I wore the blue gloves I found in the cabinet underneath the sink matching them with grandma's kitchen apron, I was washing up the last dish when Matty came down. "Sexy." He says sarcastically judging my outfit. "Shut up" I scold him, when I'm finally done I take off the gloves and apron then wash my hands.

I take the note Judy wrote with what she needed from the grocery store, "Judy we're gonna go, where are the keys?" I speak loud from the kitchen, she mentions that they're hung next to the door, I grab my flannel to wear over the basic white shirt and jeans before going.

My grandma's excuse of a truck that was barely functional was slower than my grandma herself. Which killed me. We finally reached the grocery store, I grabbed a shopping cart and hop in like a child of age 5. Matty happily pushes the cart around, we first visit the fruits & veggies section, getting some apples and oranges, and then we looked for milk, oatmeal, jam, toast and some weird spices.

After we were done we went to the cashier counter to get the items scanned, then we paid with the money Nanna gave us. Matty waited for the change as I went to buy cigarettes. He took the cart with all the plastic bags and we went to put them in the back of the car. Then, Matty hopped in into the now empty cart, I set my hands on the bar and began running,then I climbed in myself while the cart was still moving fast.

Matty was giggling which made me laugh as well. After we had all the parking lot covered for like two times and the cart was coming to a stop, our breathing was loud from all the laughing, it was a bright day, sky blue and all, and I had Matty look directly into my eyes, and just then, I was sure of how I felt for once in my life.
