The rest of the week passed in a blur. Every day, Will attempted talking to me and like every day, Cam was there to stop him.
It was currently Saturday morning and I had planned to sleep in but of course, my devious, annoying brothers had a different set of plans in mind.
I could faintly hear Chad say “At the count of three we pour it over her okay?” to Jake.
“Don’t even think about it” I said my voice hoarse because I had just woken up.
“Oh man, how’d you even know” Jake asked annoyed.
“Hmm, I don’t know maybe because I’m awake!!” I replied sarcastically.
I sat on my bed and wiped the sleep from my eyes. When I looked over at my brothers, they were holding a bucket full of water that looked too heavy for them to even carry.
“Next time my dear want to be ninja” Chad smiled mischievously.
They walked out of my room, bucket still in hand. I got up from my bed and headed for the shower.
Sometimes it sucks to shower. I mean, don’t get me wrong; I love to be all clean but in the shower is where you have your most deep thoughts. You sit on the shower floor and just reminisce about everything and anything.
That’s what I did until I heard a knock on my door.
“Sweetie are you alright in there?” it was my mom interrupting me from my thoughts. I had never been happier to hear her voice.
“Do you mind coming out? It’s been over an hour and I really don’t think you want to look like grandma at this age” she joked. I could almost see the sympathetic smile in her voice.
“Yeah I’ll be right out momma bear” I replied.
“Okay little bear” and with that she walked away.
My mom and I had a close relationship. She wasn’t always home but whenever she was, we talked about everything. Except now, I had nothing to talk to her about except the unimaginable betrayal I felt.
I got out of the shower and quickly dried up. I ran a brush through my hair, dressed myself, and made my way down the stairs for some breakfast. My dad was sitting on one of the stools that are around the kitchen island.
“Good morning daddy” I greeted with what I thought was a very convincing happy smile.
He returned it with one of his.
“Have anything planned for today?” He looked over at me.
“Probably just hang around the house. Maybe watch some movies.”
“Do you mind if your mom and I go out for a little while? We haven’t gone out on a proper date in ages. I’ve planned a secret romantic date in the little Italian restaurant downtown. It’s a private table but if you don’t want to babysit I completely understand honey.” I shook my head in disapproval.
“No daddy, go ahead. I don’t mind watching the two little bubble heads.” I smiled while getting up and pouring myself a cup of coffee.
“Alright then we’ll leave at around 7pm so you still have time to go out if you’d like. Maybe even with Cameron?”
“What makes you think I want to go out with Cameron?” I asked.
“Well, you guys have spent some time together. Maybe spending time with other people might be good for you know…the way you’re…you know…feeling.” It sounded more like a question.
“I’m fine dad, really.”
“Okay pumpkin.” He said as he got up from the stool and planted a kiss on my forehead then walking out into the living room.
