Chapter Four: It's You, Times Two

"Darceeeeeeeeey!" A sweet voice squealed penetrating the soft layer of sleep that surrounded my body. This was followed by the patter of four small feet pounding into my room, across the soft carpet and before two small bodies landed on top of mine and consequently sending me awake with a start.

"What?!" I huffed fighting my way out of my duvet and sitting up to find my twin sister smiling up at me innocently. My curtains; wide open, allowed the morning beams to flood into my pale blue room and hit the dusty mirror on my dressing table the glare hitting my sensitive eyes.

"Mimi said you have to wake up" Tia spoke matter of factly, her hair loose in wild coils surrounding her head. Mia knelt beside her, her hair just as messy as her twins in a cute afro.

"Yea it's breakfast time" Mia added in a similar tone.

"Ugh" I groaned flopping back down into my bed. My fighting against being awake at this time of the morning with so little the sleep the previous night. As soon as I disappeared into the soft depths of my duvet, that warm sleepy feeling returned and unconsciously I snuggled deeper into my bed with a soft yawn. The twins clearly were not impressed that I was ignoring their orders to get out of bed and consequently I was rewarded by an assault of small hands hitting my body and trying to steal my bed covers from me. Chuckling I lay still until the girls were both extremely exhausted and whinging,

"Okay" I yawned stretching my arms and sitting up "I'm up. Happy now?"

"Yes!" Mia grinned before pulling Tia of my bed and out of my room, screaming Peyton's name loudly; the sound echoing around the small expanse of my Grandmother's house. I laughed at their small screams glad that they'd found a new victim before begrudgingly dragging myself out of bed. Yawning I walked out of my room, my bare feet shuffling along the old wooden floor of the landing before padding down the large, rickety spiral staircase. Slowly approaching the kitchen I was met with the familiar sounds and aromas of my Grandmother's singing and cooking.

"Morning" I yawned walking over to Mimi and placing a soft kiss on her cheek.

"Oh look who's alive" Mimi chuckled from behind her newspaper. Today she was wearing her dark blue silk kimono, purchased in Japan from her days as an air hostess back in the 80s, just one of the many professions she had worked as over the years. Mimi had been all over the world and her love of foreign countries inspired the haphazard decoration of her house. Each day she would pick one of her kaftan's and kimonos to wear at breakfast before dropping Mia and Tia of at school then making her way to the local stable's owned by one of the rich families in Paradise Valley where she worked as a horse groom and trainer. My Grandmother was what others would describe as an extreme eccentric but in my eyes she was one of the most amazing, creative and loving women I'd ever come across. She was fascinating and could sew from her times as a dress maker in New York, cook due to her short time as a chef and was fluent in four languages as well as play three instruments.

"My eyes" Peyton screamed making my grandmother chuckled loudly and I rewarded him with a smack round the back of his head. Narrowing my eyes I plonked myself in the seat next to him, just as a screaming Mia and Tia bundled into the kitchen knocking a chair over in the process and sending Mimi's cat Darwin off into the other direction with a loud screech.

"Girls!" Mimi scolded as the twins shuffled on the seats. I rolled my eyes and reached over the table for the bacon as Peyton tried to pull Mia onto her chair.

"You two are always screaming, just calm down" I grumbled at the twins. Mia pouted, the fact that I had told them off clearly not sitting right with her and Tia frowned crossing her arms.
