"Whatcha want for breakfast sis?" Ben asks as I wheel into the kitchen. "Let's have one more big, sugar-filled, breakfast before I have to go back to school tomorrow" I say and giggle softly, looking up at my big brother.
"Waffles with everything on 'em coming right up!" Ben chuckles softly and gets everything out to make waffles. I smile and turn on Pandora on my phone, changing it from country to shuffle before Ben can complain.
"Mar, do we have any strawberries?" He asks, pouring some batter into the waffle iron. I roll over to the fridge and open it, looking for the strawberries. "Yes we do" I grab the strawberries and hand them to Ben, shutting the fridge before going back to the table.
"Thank you" Ben smiles and cuts them up after making the waffles. He puts two waffles each on our plates, putting strawberries, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce on them.
He puts our plates on the table and gets out two glasses. "Chocolate milk, madam?" He asks and looks at me. "Yes please" I nod and giggle softly, smiling at him.
We eat breakfast and talk a little, Pandora still playing in the background. Ben spends at least half of breakfast trying to convince me to wear something other than black for my first day of school. He finally gives up on that idea, jokingly mumbling that I need to stop being so stubborn.
"I'm not stubborn, I just know what I like; which is black" I say and giggle, sticking my tongue out at him. "Yup. You're the country girl that wears all black... That won't confuse people" Ben laughs lightly, shaking his head.
"Eh. I don't care if people understand me. I like being a little confusing" I smile and take a drink of my chocolate milk. "I keep things interesting for people" I giggle.
"You definitely keep things interesting" Ben smiles and puts our plates in the sink, wheeling me to the living room. "You do too" I smile up at him as he parks my chair by the couch.
"If you say so" He laughs and puts me on the couch. "I sit at home all day, taking online classes to become a graphic designer" He says with a sigh, sitting next to me.
"I think that's awesome. Plus you get to take videogame breaks" I giggle and lightly shove his shoulder. "Good point" He smiles and lightly shoves me back, turning on House MD.
I smile and lean back on the couch, watching the TV. "Yu would seriously get along with House" Ben says and looks at me. "I would definitely get along with him" I say and giggle, looking back at him.
***Later that night***
"What do you wanna wear to school tomorrow?" Ben asks after we get into my room. "Definitely skinny jeans and combat boots, so I just need to find a shirt" I say and smile, opening the top drawer of my dresser.
Ben pulls out a Luke Bryan t-shirt and a black and white striped tank top. "Which one?" He asks and smiles. "Luke Bryan" I smile. Ben nods and puts away the tank top.
After we pick out my outfit I get in bed and change into my pajamas, laying down. "Night sis" He says and turns off the light. "Night bro" I say and fall asleep after he leaves my room.
