Until We Meet Again

Chapter 16

I opened my eyes and realize I have fallen asleep. I wonder what time is it. I searched for my phone and checked the time. I suspected it would be morning or something but it was still 6 pm. So I went out of bed and decided to go downstairs just in time to see my parents just walk inside the house. "Oh hello Rosaline!" My dad said with a warm smile. "Hey guys! Had fun at work?" I asked them and my mom groaned while my dad chuckled at her. "Yeah your mom had a lot of things to do today." He said. I chuckled as I watched mom put all her bags down and collapsed on the sofa.

"Is Shay upstairs?" Dad asked. I turned my eyes to face him and said, "Oh! Umm...I think so. She was home before. I'll go check." My dad nodded and I went to the stairs but didn't go upstairs. I just shouted, "SHAY!!" "WHATT?!" I heard her shout back. I chuckled and turned back to my dad who had wide eyes. "Yep she's here." I said and he just chuckled. I almost forgot my mom was in the sofa so I looked to see her passed asleep and giggled at her sleeping state. "Wow. She must've had a rough day." I said and my dad came to see her fast asleep and chuckled at her too. Soon he decided to carry her to their room. I waited in the living room until my dad comes back.

When he does, I asked, "So...what's for dinner?" He slapped his forehead in realization of something, "Right...I forgot. What do you want? Delivery? Or...do you want to cook?" I thought for a while and decided to check the fridge. My face turned to disappointment as I saw there was nothing interesting to make. I closed the fridge and grabbed the phone. My dad chuckled,"Delivery?" I nodded at him and asked, "What should we have?" My dad thought for a while and said, "Chinese?" I chuckled for some reason. It's been a while we haven't ate Chinese food.

I dialed the delivery number and thought of what to order, but my mind goes blank. I don't remember the menu. I looked to my dad and tapped on the table repeatedly. "What to order? I forgot the menu." He chuckled at me and just shrugged. I quickly thought of any menu I could possibly remember us eating and soon a voice came on the line. "Good evening, may I take your order?" I heard a female voice say. I mentioned the foods that I could only remember and gave her the address. Soon I hung up and put the phone down with a huge breathe. I haven't called for delivery in a while.

"I'll be in my room okay? Call if you need anything. Or when the food is here." I nodded and watched him walk to his room and closed the door. I went to the sofa and as soon as I turned on the TV the doorbell rang. Wow. They are fast. "GUYS! THE FOODS HERE!" I shouted as I opened the door. The delivery man was their holding the packages and he gave me a warm smile. I grabbed the food from his hands and brought them inside. I put all of them on the kitchen table and went back to the door to pay for the food. As I closed the door, I heard the sounds of plastic rustling. I turned around and spotted my family already taking out the food. I giggled and followed them. Soon I headed to my room and slept peacefully.

-------------------------------------------------

The next morning I opened my eyes and really didn't feel like doing anything. I drifted back to sleep but was woken up by the sound of someone barging into my room and shouting, "OMG ROSALINE WHY ARE YOU STILL IN BED?!" Claire's voice was heard. I sat up on my bed and rubbed my eyes to try to clear my vision. As soon as I regained my vision I looked to the time. It was still 12 pm. I looked back at her and said, "It's still early." I groaned and went back to sleep. "What do you mean it's still early? We have a lot of things to do today. You need to do your hair, your makeup, everything!" She said. "Why do we need to do that?" I said and looked to her confused. "Ehm.....your date?" She said as if it was the most obvious thing ever. I opened my eyes and realized that I am actually going on a date tonight. But why do we need to do all those things this early?

"It's still 12. All those things won't take too long. Besides, my date is at 6 remember?" I said. She just groaned and sat on my bed. "I know. I'm just so excited for some reason." I giggled at her and finally decided to just wake up. I went to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I went back out and changed to my casual clothes. I turned back to Claire and asked, "Eaten lunch?" She just shook her head. I grabbed her hands and dragged her downstairs. No one was there, but my family had prepared some breakfast food for me, which I missed. I dragged Claire to my car and she asked, "Hold on. Why not my car?" I answered, "Because we need to save patrol for your car ride back home, and I'm not using my car anytime later." She giggled at my response and went inside the passenger seat.
