The Dinner

"Mam!!!! Anth has brought a boy home!!!!!................And they are CUDDLING ON THE COUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The boys wake up with a start and Dec looks worriedly at Sarha who was looking at them in surprise. Ant sit up slowly, rubbing his eyes and look at Sarha in annoyance
"Shut up!!!"

Christine enters the room and Dec stands up awkwardly.

Christine: "Sarha, find some manners pet"

Sarha: "But they were cuddling on the couch!"

Ant: "Sofa Sarha, and no. We just fell asleep watching a movie"

Sarha: "Under a single blanket?"

Ant: Yeah. So what?"

Christine: "Don't start you two"

Christine moves to Ant and he hugs her and she kisses his hair. She then walks to Dec who awkwardly lifts his hand but Christine hugs him "Nice to meet you again pet, thank you for coming"

Dec: "Thank you for inviting me, Ma'am"

Christine: "Christine"

Dec nod at her and before he can reply he hear a squeal and see Sarha lunging at Ant, hugging him "Sooo good to meet you bro"

Ant hug her back and Dec see an affectionate smile spreading on his face "You too and all, cheeky"

Sarha: "We have some talking to do Anth.."

Ant: "Oh yes nosy. How was the flight mam?"

Christine: "Good, but tired. You boys had your dinner?"

Ant: "Yeah. Your rooms are ready. We are in the ones opposite to yours"

Sarha walks to Dec and extends her hand "Hai. I'm Sarha"

Dec: "Declan"

Sarha: "I know...you and Ant dating?"

Dec: "Umm No!!"

Christine: "Sarha!!!"

Sarha: "Just checking"

Ant: "Dinner is ready mam"

Christine hugs Ant again and kisses his cheek "Thank you so much pet"

Ant nod at her and she turns to Dec "Thanks to you too Dec and now, up you go ... have a good sleep you two"

They could hear Sarha already in the kitchen, talking animatedly to Ellen

Christine smile at that "Wonder what's for dinner"

Dec frowns Ohhh Shit!!!!

Ant: "Sarha's favourites obviously. Ellen has the menu memorised"

Christine: "Your sister has weird food choices"

Ant raise his eyebrows at Dec and Dec shrugs

Ant: "Goodnight mam"

Christine: "Good night love, and you too Dec"

They walk up to their rooms and Ant stops in front of Dec's room

Ant: "Mmm.. Dec, sorry about Sarha...she can be a bit nosy sometimes"

Dec: "It's okay, I get it. I am the youngest in my family, remember?"

Ant: "Okay then, see you tomorrow?"

Dec laugh at that "Goodnight Anth"

Ant: "Goodnight"
