TWO - LET IT BEGIN
"Good morning princess! I'm Zaira Kaylee Smith, and I'm going to rock my last year in college!" Z.Kee stated gracefully and loudly in front of her full length mirror.
She's on her normal school outfit: skinny jeans, a white tee with a pouting lip print, and a sneakers. Even with these kind of outfit, she stand out because of her almost-perfect curves, catching lads attention to snap their head to her direction. Her dark brown locks are curled in the end emphasizing her fair white complexion.
"Mascara check, eyeliner check, lips check. I guess this is enough for first day of school for the year. Hmmm." She continued checking herself in the mirror.
When she got contented, she grab her bag and sling it on her shoulder. She went downstairs and directly to the kitchen.
"Good morning mum." She kissed Patricia and took a cup and poured the newly brewed coffee.
"Good morning honey, can you call your dad and Jake upstairs for me?"
She nod, putting back her coffee on the kitchen counter and ran towards the staircase, she took four steps on the stairs and started calling" Daaad, Jaaaake. Breakfast!" And went back, her coffee were already placed at the table with her plate by her mum.
Hayden and Jake went down together to the dinning room. Hayden kissed Z.Kee first then Jake.
"Good morning princess, good morning mum." They said in unison, and the room filled with the Smith family's giggles. Patricia put her laptop at the other end of the table, opposite to Hayden.
"What made you scream last night princess?" Hayden ask her daughter between their breakfast. A knowing look printed on his face.
"Just had a horrible dream dad. Someone was chasing me in the middle of the forest and there are blood on my head, lots of blood." Z.Kee's voice were exaggerate as she explained.
"That's really bad dream huh." Jake murmured.
"Chew your food first Jake." Patricia scolded her son. Z.Kee giggled and try to tease her brother but the laptop rings. Jake quickly pressed a botton and Arvin's face flashed on the screen, eldest son of Hayden and Patricia.
"Viiiiiinn." Z.Kee squealed with excitement. And drank her coffee before turning her full attention to the Skype video call.
"How's our princess doing?" Arvin asked.
"Good as always. How about you? Oh I missed you so much brothaa."
"Same and I missed you more Z. Hey Jake!"
"Hey Vin, breakfast?" Jake raised his fork with bacon and egg on it.
"I'm full. Mum. Dad. I'm going home in a week, and the good thing is, I'll be staying for a month." Arvin stated his news, caughting his family off guard.
Their eyes full of surprise and excitement, Arvin Kurt Smith works at a publishing company across the country for two years. He got a chance to go home twice a year but only for two weeks, during December and Z.Kee's birthday. The Smith siblings has three years gap between each other but they understand and love each other. Their parents also care and love them equally. Though the family spoiled Z.Kee a lot, she stayed with her feet on the ground and does not try to take the opportunity of the special treatment her family gave her.
"Is that true son? That's a good news, good news to start with our morning." Hayden exclaimed gleefully.
"Yeah it is dad. I'm so glad I could stay there for a month." He paused to glance at something beside his laptop. "Hey princess, you should get going. You'll be late."
