Vesper twins were on a one-month vacation which they chose to spend in their peaceful abode. Older of the two decided that they needed to buy groceries, a task which the younger abhorred.
Thus, two went on their own paths, Blair in pursuit of instant noodles and chocolate flavoured cereal, Nova to bring the apple of her eye home, her escape from the stupidity of her siblings, her shelter from the cruel, evil world, her fortress of solitude, her dog Gangsta. She gave the responsibility of looking after her sole heir, Gangsta, to her younger brother. Alas her brother shared his dwellings with three other people whom she never approved of but who was she to deny her baby brother’s request.
Thus, her current predicament, Nova was carrying four pastries, a chocolate, vanilla with strawberry icing, coffee and mint flavoured from the most expensive bakery in the city. Nova brought the pastries only because it would be rude to go empty handed and the choice of bakery? Only because it was the closest bakery on, her way, she most definitely did not go to the other end of the city just to get these delicacies. As she rung doorbell, number voices were heard.
“Sawyer open the door.” The voice belonged to Will who favoured coffee flavoured just about anything. How could Nova have knowledge of this? She had penchant for details.
“Why me? Lui is closest.” A whine from Sawyer who claimed he was a slut for vanilla cakes. Refer to previous statement about Nova having a penchant for details
“Am not. You are at a perpendicular distance from door.” Most definitely her brother who was engrossed in his laptop
A thump of footsteps, a thud and
“I WILL GET IT!”
Voice belonged to Jaime on whom Nova for sure did not have a crush on. Why was she scared for Jaime when she heard a thud? She is a nice person that is all.
“Oooh wittle Beatrix’s sister is here. Maybe I should open the door after all.”
Sawyer that little nuisance, Nova knew he was smirking. After a loud scream and a thump the door opened to reveal a very out of breath but trying really hard to appear cool Jaime.
“Hi.” Was all she said; to say that Nova was disappointed would be an understatement.
“Hello.” She replied as she entered.
As a greeting she received a small smile from Will engaged in helping Sawyer stand up, a Sawyer who had a noticeable bump on his head which was definitely was not inflicted by Jaime. Her brother was too busy steadying his hand while giggling like a teenager, so that he could capture this so- called glorious moment to notice his sister. As she was setting the treats on the kitchen table, a yap caught her attention.
“My baby, how are you? Mommy missed you, she missed you so much.” She cooed at Gangsta
Gangsta licked her face once Nova was settled on the floor.
“I hope she didn’t cause you any trouble.”
Nova said looking up at Jaime who resembled a Spanish tomato after being caught staring at her (crush) friend.
Jaime just clicked her tongue and shook her head as a response.
“Oh of course not. Jaime just showed her your pictures which she keeps because she doesn’t have a creepy crush on you.”
Sawyer said as he entered the kitchen and proceeded to use a pack of frozen peas as an ice pack.
“That bump on your head looks lonely.” Jaime supplied.
“Yo!” was all Nova’s brother said in acknowledgement of his sister’s presence
“Finally decided to grace us with your presence, oh high and mighty monkey king.”
“Would’nt you like to know weather boy.” He said while sucking the frosting off his thumb.
This action of our protagonist brought the attention of our characters to the pastries. And the scene that unfolded was not unlike how ants gather around a sugar cube, even Lui’s bulldog named Kitty came in hopes of receiving cake.
“Stop getting your germs on my pastry,”
“Away you blithering idiot.”
Was all Nova could hear until Will came in.
“Stop everyone. I swear, I am backbone of this household.”
And the idiots scurried away from the pastries but nothing could stop them from sending longing looks to the pastries.
“Nova would you like some tea?” Will asked
“I would love to but I have to go.”
“So soon.”
Jaime said (looking like a lovesick idiot, lovesick puppy)
“I am afraid so.”
If there was a look which said “I am begging you to stay for just a few more minutes”, Will would say that Jaime was giving Nova the exact same look. Oh how much he wanted these two to get together
“You brought my favourite. Marry me Nova” Exclaimed Sawyer, ever the mood destroyer
“Don’t you dare utter my sister’s name from that mouth of yours.”
Lui smacked Sawyer with a spring onion, but alas Sawyer Fern was not that easy to be deterred.
“She brought your favourite too Willy.”
The look on Will’s face was enough for Nova to give herself a pat on the back, because she definitely did not consider the boys as her brothers, nope not in a million years.
“Is that mint flavoured pastry? Looks like you know the way to Jaime’s heart.” Sawyer teased.
Nova and Jaime did not blush like teenagers.
“Um-uh I have to go, see you Olympic of Pennsylvania.”
She did their sibling salute to Lui.
“Tally ho, useless paperclip.” Lui did their salute in return.
“Au revoir, guys.”
“Oh lala, look at my wife being all fancy.” Sawyer said.
“You are gayest of the bunch, Fern” Jaime deadpanned
“Someone is jealous. Don’t worry I only have eyes for Willy.”
“Bye, Kitty.”
And with that Nova left with a smile on her lips and warmth in heart but devoid of a puppy.
“Shit.” She mumbeled to herself as she ran back to the apartment she just left.
⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛⬛

My grammar and writing skills? Pathetic.
