"We are going to bake some muffins, ok?"
Shawn's face illuminates by the word muffins. It is funny to see how obsessed he is with them. He immediately starts putting out the mainly ingredients like flour, sugar and for sure chocolate chips.
"Alone, Shawn. We need girls time."
Aaliyah gives her brother a serious look. He wants to say something but I cut him off.
"You can eat the most, babe."
We once baked together but that ended in a mess. We were full of flour because he started tipping my nose with a finger full of flour.
"I am okay with that."
He gives me a kiss on the forehead and strokes Aaliyah's hair so they look a bit messy. Such a great older brother. Then he disappears in his bedroom. He keeps saying that that is our bedroom now but it feels kind of unreal to me because to be honest it is my first time in Canada since we are a couple and I still live in Germany. Anyways it is cute when he says that.
"Ok, he is away. Let's start."
Aaliyah is full of motivation and me too. It is one of those days when you are extraordinary glad for a roof over your head. It does not stop raining and it is windy. I like that because it feels a way more comfortable in a flat to me. I am really into this kind of weather and spending time with people I like. And these siblings are definitely two of them. Aaliyah is only a year younger than me. I like her since the day I first saw her.

"Girls, are you ready?"
Shawn suddenly appears behind me and lays his hands around my waist.
"You just can not without her."
Aaliyah laughs and goes back to the oven to look after the muffin which should be ready in a few minutes.
"Have you both had fun together?"
"Yes, I love her. You should be thankful to have her as your sister. That's a blessing."
Shawn turns me around to face him. His hands wander to my cheek and he strokes my skin behind my ear with his soft thumbs.
"I am so glad to have her. I love her and I love you. So so much. You are my two favourite girls and my mom, but she is a woman."
I laugh because of his confusing words.
"Aaliyah and me are adults too."
Shawn hugs me tight and shakes me a bit.
"I know but she is my little sister and you are... you are younger than me too."
I jump on him and lay my legs around his waist. He supports me with his hands on my butt. We smile at each other and then kiss passionately
"Hey love-birds, the muffins are ready!"
Shawn does not think about letting me down. He immediately runs to the muffins.
"I love you both!"
All Aaliyah and I can do is laugh because of his madness. Shawn sits down with me on top. He takes one muffin and stuffs it into his mouth.
"Mmh, they are delicious!"
The afternoon turned out to be one of the best of the past few weeks. We talked, laughed and just enjoyed our time together.
