Graceland 101

Chapter 36: My Braces

PS:

I know that this isn't  as sparkly as the  ones that Derek and his sister gave me.

As the sun peeked  from behind the clouds to stream into his room.  Mikey woke up the next morning to get ready for his usual morning runs. He went downstairs and out the kitchen door to stretch. Later on, he ran down the beach. BD is next to him waiting for his usual pet. They enjoyed this alone time with each other.

Our houses are now alive and noisy. I woke up to get ready for the day. Daddy is brewing some coffee for them to drink. He mixes my hot chocolate to leave it on the island. Both of us greeted each other. I took out a glass and the mugs.

George and mom are cooking breakfast at our stoves. I took out the remaining place settings to put them on the island. The team sets the table together. Mikey grabs a water bottle from our fridge then heads upstairs. He took a shower and got ready for work. Later on, he returns to greets everyone else while giving us our usual kisses in their respected areas.

Breakfast is promptly served at 8:00 am. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in their assigned seats at our tables. Mikey and I are on the couch using our coffee table for the food. We ate together like one big happy family. Soon after eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

The team grabbed our stuff while exchanging goodbyes to each other. Later on, we locked our front doors. All of us went to the cars and trucks. Our driveways and houses are now left vacant. My family went to their missions.

George and I went to the bureau. He parks his car in the parking lot. The pair of us walked into the building. Later on, we head straight to Juan's office. All greetings are exchanged that morning. The meeting begins and lasts for a few minutes.

"Are you guys ready for that trip?" he asked. " No Juan we are going to start packing tomorrow," I replied. We exchanged our greetings to each other. Juan gave me a kiss on the cheek. The pair of us walked back to the parking lot.

Graceland bound for us that afternoon. As for George pulls into our driveway. We got out of his car to walk to our front door. I bent down to pick up a package and open our door. My body guard closes to the door behind us.

We put down our stuff on the couch. George brings drinks, snacks, and a pair of scissors. I found us something to watch on t v and open the box in front of me. We are relaxing together. Our shoes are kicked off.

Derek and his sister sent my braces. I went upstairs to take a quick bath. The team got home from work. Everyone else greeted each other in our family room. Whoa!!! Levi did you rob an art supply store and not tell us.

These are the braces that you were telling me about a few ago, Mom replied. Soon George says his goodbyes to us. He went straight to his place. John kept roasting him for another few minutes. Leave him alone they are mine. I defended my twin.

Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm. Everyone dished out our food toe eat. The team sat in their assigned seats at the tables. Mikey and I are sitting on the couch using our coffee table for the food. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

Soon after that Mikey helped me take a picture to send Derek and Jules. We texted it to them.

I really love these braces. Guessing that we are unofficially members of the DWTS family now.

Mom cooks dinner at our stove. I took out the place settings to put them on the island. The team sets our kitchen tables together. All of us hang around the kitchen area. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves.

Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in their assigned seats at the tables. Mikey and I are at the island. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

We broke up into our usual boys vs groups groups. Our sisters and the girls cleared the tables. I wiped down all the surfaces with a rag. Roo unpacks the dishwasher. As for our rents washed the dishes to refill it with the wet ones. The guys are getting our cooler ready with drinks and ice.

Everything is put back in it's regular places. John is still getting a kick out of my braces. All the kitchen lights are turned off. Later on, we head to the beach. Bonfire time begins that night. We settled down in our spots. Drinks are passed around the circle.

Storytime is in full swing now. A log break is taken to get refills for our drinks. Jokes are always told during this time. Our laughs are heard at each end of the beach. The stars shone brightly over our heads as the fire crackled in front of us.

I walked back up the shore to our house. Upon my arrival left on the lights for the others and put my bottle in our sink. Minutes after that I went upstairs to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Roger follows my cue. We changed rooms in our house.

Mikey is sitting next to me on the chaise. We are cuddling together. Soon after that Mikey begins reading the book to me. I took it from him to read my chapters. There's one more passing of the book to it's owner. It is rested down on the table.

Within minutes the team dragged the cooler with them. The older members added their bottles to our sink. As for our younger ones threw away their juice boxes in the bins. I unpacked the cooler. Mikey threw away the bottles and dumps the ice. The team heads upstairs to get ready for bed.

As for the team returns in the room. They sat on the couch or in it's surrounding areas. Our t v sets are turned on. Mom chose the show from the box to watch. I am just thinking about stuff. We stretch our legs after a while of sitting. Everyone stood up to mention their goodnights to each other. Mikey gave me the usual forehead kiss. The team did the same thing just with my cheeks.

Mel head straight to bed. Both of us moved to the couch. Roger is now cuddling with our big sister. I am sitting on the ground between our coffee table and the couch. As for Nat did the same thing just on the opposite side. He is running his hands through my hair. I went to our room to write on the bed. Seconds later the writing supplies are put away. Pedro is in my arms. Counting sunglasses time begins for me. Within minutes I am finally sleeping.

The team is still watching t v. Drinks are given out away. Laughs are slowly fading now. Our t v sets and family room lights are turned off. They head upstairs to their own bedrooms. Nat walks into our shared one to join her dolphin. Everyone else joins Mel soon in dreamland that night.
