Graceland 101

Chapter 66

The sun peeked from behind the clouds to stream into my twin's room. Mikey woke up to get ready for his usual morning run. He went downstairs and out the kitchen door to stretch. Later on, he runs down the beach. BD is waiting for his usual pet. They enjoyed this alone time together.

Our houses are now awake and noisy. I woke up to get ready. Jakes brews some coffee for them to drink. He mixes my hot chocolate to leave it on the island in my tumbler. Both of us greeted each other. I took out a glass and the mugs.

George and mom are cooking breakfast at the stoves. I took out the remaining place settings to put them on the stoves. The team sets our kitchen table together. All of us hang out around the kitchen area. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves.

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

The team exchanged our goodbyes to each other. Later on, we locked our front doors. All of us head to the cars and trucks. Our driveways and houses are now left vacant. Everyone else went to their missions.

I spend the morning over by his mom. They are too happy to have me with them. Of course, my weekly Spanish class is under way. Lucy is my teacher for the day. Once class is finished we just relax.

Soon after that work is also finished for him. John picks me up so that we can go home. Graceland bound once again for us that afternoon. He parks in our driveway. Both of us head to door. Seconds later I opened it for us to go inside. My brother closes it behind us.

We put down our stuff on the couch. John went into the kitchen to get drinks and snacks. I found something to watch on tv. We are now relaxing with each other. Our shoes are kicked off.

I went upstairs to take a quick bath. The team came home from work. Everyone else greeted each other in our family. Minutes after that I am in the room again. We are happy to see each other.

Lunch is promptly served at 12:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in their assigned seats at the table. Mikey and I are 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.

Everyone went in their separate directions. I am in the phone room checking my emails and cleaning out the mailbox. Soon after that I decided to take a nap. Our kid sister is bugging John. Of course, he is enjoying that because he was the youngest.

George and Mom are in the kitchen again making dinner. I took out the place settings to put them on the island. The team sets our kitchen table. All of us hung out around the kitchen. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves.

Dinner is promptly served at 6:00 pm California time. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in their assigned seats at the tables. Mikey and I are 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.

We broke up into our usual boys vs girls groups. Our sister and girls cleared the tables. Within minutes I wiped down every surface with a rag. Mikey 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. 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 long break is taken to get refill for our drinks. Jokes are also told during this time. Our laughs are heard at each end of the beach. As for 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. Seconds later I went to our room in order to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Mikey follows my cue. We changed rooms in our house.

Mikey is sitting next to me on the chaise. We are cuddling with each other. Seconds later he 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 now rested on the table.

Soon after the team came in dragging our cooler with them. The elders added their bottles to the sinks. As for the younger ones threw away their juice boxes in the bins. Mikey threw away the bottles and dumps the ice. The team heads upstairs to get ready for bed.

The team returns in the room. All of them sat down on the couch or in it's surrounding areas. Our tv sets are turned on. John chose something from the box for them to watch. He puts extra volumes for us to hear it from the living room.

We stretch our legs after sitting down for a while. Everyone stood up to mention our goodnights to each other. Mikey gave me the usual forehead kiss. The team did the same thing just with my cheeks.

Mel went to bed. Both of us head over to the couch. Roger is cuddling with our big sister. I am sitting on the ground between our couch and the coffee. Nat is on the opposite side of the table. His long fingers are running through my hair.

I kept the book on the desk in our room. Pedro is waiting for me in the bed. Soon after that I joined him. Counting sunglasses time begins now for that night. A few minutes I am fast asleep.

Meanwhile with the team is still downstairs watching tv. Laughter is dying down slowly now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team head to their own bedrooms. Nat walks into our shared one to join her dolphin. Everyone else Mel soon in dreamland that night.
