I woke up at 4 am. It was still dark outside and Emma is still sleeping on my bed.
I said a little prayer as I stretch out my arms. After those, I covered Emma with my blankets and I went out of the room. I looked for Franc and he's asleep also..

These people...doesn't know how to wake up early.

After looking for the two, I went to kitchen to drink water. It's a habit. Harper told me to put some water on my stomach after waking up so it will be filled. Then I went to my bathroom to wash my face and use the loo. Not long, I changed my clothes then headed to our little gym beside the theater room. I sweat up for a while. I ran 10 kilometers and carried over 25 kgs. I admit that I am not that buff as my brother but I do these things to achieve a healthy living..

I'm done at 4:45 am. I headed to my bathroom again to take a bath. I turned up the music to soothe myself..

While taking a bath, I heard the door opened..

"Who's there?"

"Emma the Great"

"Get out! I'm taking a bath! Come back later"

I tried to look at her at the side of the shower curtain. I think she's trying to hold..

"Just take the loo beside the kitchen sink. The light's on"

"Okay. Sorry"

Then she left..
Afterwards, I'm done so I dried myself in the towel and went to my room.

It was clean like my mom fixed the sheets, removed my stinking clothes and put everything into order.
I took a muscle tee and sweat shorts from my closet and wore them. Rolled some deo over my under arm and sprayed some perfume prior to my exit from the room to cook some food.

As I walk down the stairs, I saw Franc's still sleeping. I understand him if he's still enjoying fantanizing at dreamland or playing a lead role in melodrama. I walked staright to the kitchen to cook breakfast and there's Emma, sitting on the chair while trying to wake herself up, I guess

"Drink two glasses of water. That'll wake you up" I said

"I'm not waking myself up. I was after my dream. Kinda horrible and creepy" she uttered

"If you keep thinking about it, probably that'll haunt you" I said with a smile

"What do you want for breakfast?" I asked her

"I'm craving for mashed potatoes and pasta but you can cook anything"

She said. I suddenly got an idea. Since Harper loves potatoes (also me),  there are left overs of chicken from last night, a bacon in the fridge and flat noodles in the old cupboard, why not make a carbonara ala Spencer? Cream ingridients can be found on our storage room. 

"Okay. Can you wait for at least 15 minutes? You can take a nap or scroll on your phone, the wifi is on"

"Then start cooking"

As she said, I prepared the pots for the potatoes and pans for the pasta. And cooked them all. She watched me cook and get sweaty over my task.

"Spencer, you're sweaty"

"It's okay. I'm used to it"

"Where are your towels? I'll clean you"

"No, I'm good. I can manage"

"Okay. I'll just wait"

She smiled at me but her face turned pale as she gets back scrolling to her phone.
