Timely Trials

Chapter 3: An Offer, Breakfast, and an Accident

LOVINO POV
"Hey! Hey! Lovino! Will you make breakfast this morning?"

That was the first thing I heard this morning when I woke up.

"I'm starving. You should make some yummy breakfast for us both."

I groaned and opened my eyes to where Feli was sitting at the end of my bed jabbering about breakfast. I dropped my head back onto my pillow.

"I really want one of those apple raisin strudels today.."

"Make it yourself," I muttered into the pillow.

"Aww, pleeeeeaaase? Ooh! If you won't make it, can we go out for breakfast?" He started bouncing on the bed in excitement about the idea.

"Fine. Just go away."

"Yes!" he ran out of my bedroom and I could hear his door shut.

He left mine open. Leaving someone's door open should be against the law unless they ask you to leave it open (but who does that? No one).

So, since I don't like sleeping with the door open I brought myself up and went to close it like a zombie. And then went back to sleep again. That is, until Feli burst in and pulled the covers off he bed.

"Lovinooo! You said we could go out and get some food this morning," he pouted at me.

I rolled over. "Let me sleep first."

"But the earlier we get there the less waiting we'll have to do for a table and food.."

He can make a good point when he wants to. Like I said earlier, I'm not a patient person, and Feli knows that. So I got up and he grinned at me happily.

"Let's go!" He ran out of the room and a few seconds later I heard the front door open.

"I still have to get dressed, you idiot.." I called, murmuring the last part.

I changed into day clothes and grabbed my phone and got to the front door before my phone rang. I closed the door behind me and looked at the screen. I didn't recognize the number, but I answered it anyway.

"Who are you and what do you want?"

"That's not a very nice thing to answer the phone to," stated the voice on the other line. It was the same man from last night. This was the number I hung up on last night. Oh.

"Deal with it. What do you want?'

"Well, you did hang up on us yesterday, so I figured I'd give you a call to ask why."

"I hung up because I did. My brother came into the room."

"Ah. So, I also wanted to ask you a quesstion about fixing your brother's problem..."

I looked at Feli. He was walking ten-ish feet ahead of me and humming some song. If this guy could fix whatever had been happening to Feli, I wanted him to do it.

"What's the question then?"

"How much are you willing to offer to get everything back to normal?"

I paused. That's not something I'd thought about before. "Uhm..."

Feli turned to me and smiled. "Heyy~ look!" He pointed to the ground over by some bushes. "It's a kitten! Look how cute it is!" He picked it up. "Can we bring it home and keep it?"

"No way."

"Awww... Please?"

"I said n--"

"What? What are you talking about?" The voice on the phone asked. I almost laughed at how confused he sounded.
