***Still a flashback***

●Zinnia's POV●

Colton and I were now waiting for our parents at the airport. I told him how lunch went and he started teasing me about Zach. Brothers.

He acts like he is younger sometimes, i swear. Soon enough, mom and dad emerged from the crowd of people heading out of the airport. 

"Mom! Dad!" I shouted waving my hands in the air so they would notice me and my doofus brother. They finally spotted us and walked towards us with big smiles on their faces.

As soon as they were close enough i hugged them tightly. God how much i missed them. Colton moved in to hug them as well.

After asking how we were and all we piled into the car and drove home all the while catching up on each others lives.

——————————————————

Once we reached home, mom and dad went up to their rooms to freshen up. Colton was ordering chinese take out since everybody was pretty tired and weren't in the mood to cook.

I went up to my room to have a long shower as i was feeling pretty sweaty since i was out the whole day.

Once i was done with my shower, i decided to put on a pair of sweatpants and a comfy t shirt that may or may not have been Colton's. Oops.

As i was heading down the stairs, the bell rang signalling the food was here. 'Right on time!' I thought.

I walked into the kitchen to see my parents and Colton already sitting around the table getting ready to eat what they have ordered.

"Hey peeps! Missed me?" I questioned cheerfully.

Colton snorted. "Why would we? I am good enough of an entertaintment to light up the room!"

"Like a disco ball?" I offered. Hey! He might have said christmas tree or something!

All the of them rolled their eyes on returned.

"Oh how i missed the banter between both of you kids." Mom said and dad nodded at her statement.

"Aww we missed you both alot too!" I replied.

"And not to mention your lectures too. That was our personal favourite." Colton piped up.

What was this? A restaurant dish? Imagine this: 'Hi! Could i please order a large lecture with a side of rolling eyes and a scoop of anger please? That will be all thank you.'

Yeah it sounded pretty much like that. To be fair, when my parents decide to lecture us, it is all that in one. Oh add an hour or two with it as well.

After that banter we all sat at the table and ate whilst talking about anything and everything under the sun really. I missed doing these things everyday.

To those who get the chance to do it everyday, appreciate it because there are alot of children out there that wish they had that.

Wow there is some mature ish right there. Take note people!

After dinner, mom decided to make us all a cup of coffee because my mom's coffee is hands down the best i have tasted. She always made it for us when she had the time.

"So Zi, who is this Zach i've been hearing about? Apparently he is some new hot guy and all. And that you went on a date today. Tell me, how was the kiss? Is he a good kisser?" Mom asked me with an excited tone.

Colton! He must've blurted out everything to mom and dad while i was in the shower. Now don't get me wrong, i was going to tell them or atleast mom later because i know for a fact that Colton is a big ass drama queen.

He will always add more spice to the topic for no rhyme or reason. I looked at him incredulously and all he did was sip his coffee and acted dumb.

Dad acted as though he were in a different world altogether but when mom asked about the kiss, he choked on his coffee and narrowed his eyes at me.

"My daughter will do no such thing. She has enough spit for herself. She does not need extra from someone else. No way. And keep your tongue to yourself young lady! Use it for food not exploring. You ain't no Dora the explorer. Got it?" Dad sure is pissed.

I turned completely red like a tomato. This is not a talk any girl wants to have with her father, whether dad is like a best friend or not.

That is just awkwardness to a whole new level. And i definitely didn't sign up for embarrassment 101.

"No dad, i did not go exploring and he is just a friend. Nothing else." I assured them still blushing.

"Yet." Colton muttered. I glared at him. I'm going to kill him in his sleep, bury him in the backyard while laughing maniacally. Yeah that sounds good.

'Watch your back dear brother of mine. Revenge is on the way. It will be a little late because it got caught in the traffic on the way to the train station. Once it arrives you shall be notified.' I conveyed the 'threat' through my eyes as we were having a stare down.

Okay, i tried to convey it through my eyes and i'm guessing it kinda sorta maybe got conveyed since he had a look that said 'bring it on' with a smirk of course, no surprise there.

I will never understand why guys love smirking so much. Probably the same way girls love rolling their eyes. Hmm that makes sense.

After that rather 'enlightening' conversation, we joked around, watch some movies and heard stories about what my parents did when they were away. Lawyers have rather interesting stories i must say.

All in all today was a good day. That thought put a smile on my face. I like how life is going. I just hope it continues this way.

But hey, who ever said life was a fairytale? This isn't a storybook where it is always sunshine and rainbows. Dark clouds are always around the corner waiting to screw you over.

This is what life is all about. Sunshine and dark clouds in rotation.
