Floating In The Sky

Chapter 15

I woke up as the Sun smiled upon me and the clouds floated freely in the blue sky. I wore black skinny jeans and a white sleevless shirt with my hair in a ponytail.

I went into the dining hall for breakfast. Mom prepared French Toast and Coffee. "Where's Justin?" I said eating the toast.

"He might be sleeping." She said.

"I will see what he is doing." I sipped the last drop of my coffee and went to his room. It's strange, he always wakes before me. Sometimes.

I open the door of his room, the curtains are drawn making the room dark and cold as no light is present. I walk inside and immediately rose the curtains letting the warm, light flood in. I see that he is fast asleep. "Justin, get up." I said sitting on the bed and shaking him.

"What is it?" He groaned with his eyes squinting.

"Get up we have a big day."

"Is this heaven? Are you one of the angels?"

He is still dreaming. I took a glass from his bedside table and filled it with water from the jug and dunked it on his head. "Why did you do that?" He bolted upright.

"Because you were in heaven having a great time with an angel."

"Wait. . .what?" He furrows his brows.

"Yes. Now get up and get ready we also have to go for horse riding we don't have much time." I placed the glass on the bedside table.

"You are not my mother so don't talk like that."

"I am your mother, Timothy." I said messing his hair.

"No. You are sunshine. Like that Sun." He points to the window.

"And you are a jerk just like him." I pointed to Stuart who was standing by the door.

"What were you both doing?" Stuart said looking at both of us. "Why are you drenched. Did it rain in your room?" He looked at Justin.

"I was waking him up and in that process I had to throw water at him." I placed my elbow on his shoulder.

"Well, hurry up you two. I don't have all day." He hissed and walked away.

"He is a jerk." Justin removed my elbow and got out of the bed.

"And a spoilt brat." I said.

"Yeah. You go now, I will meet you outside." He said brushing his teeth.

"In how many minutes?" He held out five fingers. "Okay." I went to find Stuart.

"First you have to choose your horse." Stuart said as he lead the way and we followed him.

The walk was not very long. We walked through the green grass and the blue sky till we came to a stable. "How are ye, Stuart?" A man appeared from the stable. He had a round, wrinkled face with brown skin. His eyes were almond-shaped and green, as they stared at Justin and me. He had full lips. His figure was really chubby. His thin,white hair peaking out of his straw hat. Stuart gave that man a high five.

"Fine, man."

"Who are these people?" The man looked at us.

"My guests. This is Willow, my sister."

"I didn't knew that ye had a sista." He shook my hand and I smiled at him. "I am Giovanni. The caretaker of this stable. And ye are?"
