Summer Spent with You

Chapter Eight : Night Number Two

Ava's POV

"Ava, it's time to get up."

I groaned. Every time I was sleeping good, someone would wake me up. I yawned and stuck my head under the pillow.

"Ten more minutes." I mumbled.

"Get your lazy self up." Of course, they just had to send Andrew to wake me up.

"Get out my room." I felt him sit down on the bed.

"What's got you so tired? Stay up reading a love story?" He teased.

'If only you knew.' I thought, but I just told him yes. Most triplets of twins share things with each other, but I had no plans of telling my brothers, or anyone else for that matter, what I had done the night before.

"Well you should have gone to bed Little Miss Bookworm. It's 7:30, you'd better hurry up." I groaned again. Sunday School started at 9:00 and ended at 10:15. Big church, as the the little kids called it, started at 10:30, it was suppose to let out at 12:30. Every now and then, we'd get a short sermon so we could get out at 12:15 or 12:00, but that didn't happen often.

Andrew left, obviously expecting me to get up and get moving. I yawned once more before I threw the covers off of me. I yanked the hanger, which held my dress on it and stumbled toward the bathroom. Noel was standing in front of the mirror, cheerfully brushing through her hair.

"Morning." I sleepily greeted her.

"You look rough." The six year old told me.

"Gee, thanks munchkin." She just shrugged and went back to brushing her hair. I raised an eyebrow at her and continued watching her. She never brushed the back of it, I guess because she couldn't see it in the mirror. "Noel, let me help you."

I took the purple brush from her hand and gently began to work my way through the knotted places. Once her straight her was tangle-free, I fastened the black and red bow on of her head.

"Why are you dressed in UGA colors?" I questioned.

"My Sunday School teacher said to wear our favorite sports teams colors."

"Noel, you don't watch football."

"Daddy does and if Daddy and Drew like them, then so do I." She declared as she slid her feet into the back flip flops with the red ribbons on them.

The dress she had picked out, was one our Aunt Sophie had made. It was red, with a black Georgia "G" on the front and black ribbons to tie the sleeves up. It was cute for a little girl to wear. The hairbow and flip flops were also a gift from Aunt Sophie. She knew that Noel liked to go all out with her outfits.

I shooed my baby sister out of the bathroom so that I could hop into the shower. I hoped that a shower would help me wake up. I stepped under the piping hot water and sighed. I quickly went through my bath time ritual and got out, feeling refreshed.

Once I had pulled the pink dress onto my body, I styled my hair and make up, then made my way to the kitchen for a quick breakfast. The rest of my family was already in the kitchen, I was the last one, as usual.

My daddy was dressed nicely in black pants, his green button down shirt, and his black and green tie. It was my mothers favorite shirt of his, she said it matched his eyes perfectly. The other two-thirds of the Lake triplets were both dressed in black pants as well. Aiden and Andrew had on matching baby blue shirts with black and blue ties. I wasn't sure if they planned to match or if they just didn't know which clothes were clean in their room.

Blaine was dressed in black and red, like Noel. I guess it was apart of their Sunday School lesson. Most of the lower level Sunday School classes did the same lesson, they just taught it differently for each age group. Blaine looked very handsome in his red shirt and black pants, and of course, the matching tie.
