I wake up to the feeling of a freezing cold liquid going over my face. I sputter and I open my eyes to see an amused looking Liel holding an empty bucket.
"Goodmorning, Princess. You looked hot so I thought I would cool you off." Worst. Thing. Ever.
"You have five seconds before I kill you." Liel raised an eyebrow at me and I smirk.
"4."
Liel just stood in front of me with a puzzled look as if he doesn't understand proper English.
"3."
Realization slowly crept it's way to his face as he slowly started to move to the door.
"2."
Liel bolts out the door and I stay seated on my bed until I get to one second.
"1."
I bolt away from my bed and I run out of my room. I hear Liel's footsteps somewhere in front of me so I follow those sounds.
He needs to learn how to be quiet.
Soon, I catch up to Liel and he screams as I yell 'boo' from behind him. He quickens his pace and so do I. He runs down the stairs and then he heads to the living room. I run carefully down the stairs and I run to the living room too. Liel is about to pass one of the couches when I jump on the couch and I pounce on him, bringing both him and I to the floor.
"Gotcha," I say with a smirk and I ring my hair out on him. Someone clears their throats from behind us and it's only then I realize our positions.
Liel is laying on his back and I am straddling his waist. I quickly get off of him and I scramble to my feet. I turn around and I see Mr. Wilkins standing with an amused expression.
"Good morning, Siayla. Liel," he greets and I wave awkwardly. Liel groans as he stands and I chuckle. I then look at him with a mischievous smirk plastered on my wet face.
"What's that saying everyone says? Paybacks a bitch," I ask innocently and Mr. Wilkins bellows a laugh. Liel just glares at me and I laugh along with Mr. Wilkins.
"Okay, kids. Come on. I am cooking breakfast," Mr. Wilkins says and my eyes widen.
"No! I want to cook breakfast. You let my friends and me in your home. It's the least I can do," I say and Mr. Wilkins raises his eyebrows at me. "You can watch me make the food if you don't trust me."
After I said that, Mr. Wilkins sighed and he nodded at me. A wide smile made it's way to my face and I went into the kitchen. Mr. Wilkins and Liel followed me and they sat down at the island.
"Um... Where's the flour, sugar... And bowls, pans, and a mixer and measuring cups?"
Mr. Wilkins laughs and he gets up and he shows me where everything is.
After getting all the dry ingredients and the utensils, I go to the fridge and I get what I need from there. I was about to close the fridge door when I see something wonderful.
"You guys have mangos?! Can I use some?" I ask excitedly. I haven't had mangos in a very long time.
Liel chuckles and Mr. Wilkins laughs again. He nods, letting me use the delicious fruits. I did a little happy dance while walking over to the counter I am using to prepare everything which resulted in me dropping a mango. Using my soccer skills that I learned from Eli and Leah, I catch the mango on the top of my foot and I keep it there until I have the rest of the ingredients on the counter. I grad the mango off my foot and that's when I notice Mr. Wilkins and Liel's shocked faces.
