RUFI:
After I spoke with Ivan i wasn't able to go back to sleep, we spoke til it was about 6:30am and since it was a Saturday I could sleep until eight but instead I went to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Since we still had a bowl of cookies I decided to make sponge cake, that way we'll have sponge cake, cookies and yogurt for breakfast.
By 7:30 the whole house smelt like sponge cake 

"Ms baker, good morning" Maria yawned

"Good morning to you" I smiled feeling complete

"It seem more excellent than good coming from the grin you have on your face"

I had been unable to wipe the smile off my face since Ivan called

"We up for cake?"

"Yup"

"And cookies" she grinned

"Ditto"

"Plus ice cold yogurt"

"punto"  I laughed

"por favor!" She giggled "I'm not the one dating a Spinard"

If there was one thing Maria and i learnt from watching Mexican soap it was their language. We pick random words out and use them as much as possible .

We might need them!

"Ready for breakfast?"

"si" I sent her a look "apenado" she smiled back.

"could you for the love of God speak in English" I huffed.

"thought we are preparing you for the trip to Mexico"

"Umph!" She laughed and carried the tray of sponge cakes out.

IVAN:

I woke up to the noise downstairs. My head buzzed. I checked the time by my bed side 11:37am.

When was the last time I slept this late?

By the time it was 12:20am I was freshly bathed and dressed. My stomach was preparing for riot as it were.

"Are you people telling me Ivan will not come home?" My mother growled

Are they still at this? For one hour?

A voice replied, not loud enough to pick out the words.

My room was the farthest from the living room so for me to hear my mother she must be screaming.

"What do you mean I'm screaming, your Nana's birthday is tomorrow and your brother is not here?"

Trust Callie to never keep her mouth shut.

By the way, why have they not told her I'm around?

Is this my family's way of protecting me from Diana?

No one argues with my mother, well except for Callie and right now I was team Callie.

"Shut up Callie! If not for his obsession with Nigeria would he not be here?"

"Maybe! Maybe if you aren't pushing Diana in his face he'd be here!" Callie's normally low voice screamed right back.

"what?" Mum retorted

Time to intervene.

"Enough cal--- Ivan you're up" Nana spoke quietly

"Ivan!" Mother screamed trying to get past Callie to me
