What I Think About You (Rewriting)

Water works

We woke up around 10 pm and walked up the stairs to go to our actual bed. It was a challenge, Nate fell down the stairs once and stumbled twice.

He work up an hour ago, 6 am, I was in the living room going to make breakfast when he came crashing down the stairs and landed at my feet. I was laughing when he looked up at me, he grabbed my ankle and tripped me.

"Hey, no fair!" I yelped on my way down.

"It's so fair, you shouldn't laugh at people." He said while getting up.

"Okay, I'm sorry. are you okay?" I asked while hauling myself up off the floor.

"Yes." He said before walking away.

I feel a slight sense of déjà vu, a reminder that in a way this has happened before. Our argument on the basketball court comes to mind, replaying like a movie.

I walked to the kitchen, getting out the pots and pans to make cream of wheat, eggs and French toast.

I heard someone enter as I was pouring the eggs mixture into the pan, they walked beside me and jumped on the counter.

"Hey." Dad said.

"Hey, Dad. How are you this morning?"

"I'm okay. How are you?" he asked giving me a look that meant that he was asking more about me and Nate.

"I'm okay, Nate's mad at me for laughing at him when he fell down the stairs." I turned back to the eggs before starting on the French toast.

"Trouble in paradise, huh? I'll go talk to him." he said jumping off of the counter and heading outside.

I knew not to try and stop my dad when he wanted to do something. When I was 14 he wanted to go fishing and I wanted to go to the mall with my friends. He threatened to tell my crush that I liked him.

I went back to cooking and setting the table. A few minutes later Dad and Nate came in. Dad left to go wake mom up for breakfast, leaving Nate and I alone.

I went back to the stove, flipping the French toast and putting the scrambled eggs in a bowl. Nate hugged me from behind, resting his head on my shoulder whispering sorry in my ear.

I shrugged out of his grasp and put the bowl of eggs on the table, going back to grab the French toast.

"I really am sorry. I shouldn't of acted like that." He said grabbing the syrup and butter out of the fridge.

"Yeah, next time just talk to me."

He nodded. we sat down at the table, waiting for my parents to get here so we could eat.

"Mornin, sweetheart." Mom said while sitting down.

"Morning mom." I said.

We ate in silence for the rest of breakfast. When breakfast was over Nate did the dishes out of guilt and I sat on the counter watching and waiting to strike.

"You can go do something, no need to stay here." Nate said bending down to put a plate in the dish washer.

"I know." I smiled at him.

I chose that moment to strike. taking a handful off bubbles, I whipped it on his back soaking his shirt. He turned around slowly fidgeting from the wetness on his otherwise dry shirt.

I giggled as I ran into the backyard. Nate came out a minute later with no shirt on. I turned on the hose and sprayed him. He came after me and grabbed the hose from me knocking me down in the process. I landed on my butt in a puddle, Nate was above me spraying more water onto my already soaked form.

"See what happens when u play with fire Lia. You got burned or should I say soaked." Nate was going back to the house when he slipped in a puddle and fell face first into the wet grass.

.......

After we got cleaned up and yelled at by my very angry mother after seeing the newly cleaned wet floors, we decided to go out.

"Hey, the carnival is in town wanna go?" Nate asked, his face alight with excitement.

"Sure."

We arrived at the carnival half an hour later, grabbed tickets and headed in.

"Do you want to eat first or ride some rides?" Nate asked.

"Lets ride!" I said grabbing his hand and dragging him towards the Ferris wheel.

........

Sorry the update is late, I had a bit of writers block.

Love Always,
