Need A Stack

Chapter 13: Stubborn.

          " Limit your 'ALWAYS' and your 'NEVERS'"-  Amy Poehler.

'I hate rich niggaz goddammit,cause I never had a lot damnit..who you had to kill who you had to rob who you had to fuck just to get it to the top damnit.
Or maybe that's daddy money escalator no ladder money.....cause I'm good with.....'

I got back from the farm and got Alvin singing along J Cole's music as he tried doing the moon walking in the kitchen utensils drawer. This dude must be crazy! He hasn't done anything since I left and now he's on top of the utensil drawers trying to show up what his mama never gave him. As soon as he saw me he jumped to the floor and started acting as if he hasn't been busy all the time...it's been three good minutes I've been standing by the door my hands crossed and my eyes completely stuck on the image above the utensil drawer. His action after seeing my 'scary' figure on the door was just funny and awkward you'd think I'm his daddy and has just got him stealing pieces of meat on the bowl.

"Huh so you listen to J Cole's hits too?"

"Who?me?"

"Of course who else is in this room?"

He was looking everywhere and later settled his eyes on me as his index finger pointed on his muscular chest. He tried to act like I wasn't talking to him and he hasn't even been listening to any kind of music all this time.

"Oh uhhmm yea...yea I do listen to his music ....how about you?"

"No I don't"

I lied as I placed the pepper that I'd collected from the farm in the cabinets. I walked slowly and sat on one of the kitchen counter on the far end.

"So what's next?" I asked him after he was done with the pretending.

"Well maybe you can slice the pepper and arrange them in one of those blue trays and seal them with aluminum foil to avoid them getting germs"

He told me while grabbing his phone to have a seat in the only mat seat that we'd secured for the kitchen....I used to relax there watching my mom cook as I told her stories and give her company. He made himself comfortable with one leg on the other.

"And what will you do?? You've been getting me busy all this time and all you do is listen to music and chat!"

He didn't seem to get bothered by my words...instead he just looked at me over the phone and continued with whatever he was doing.

"Oh noooo! Damn...how did I not get to know that Wild n' Out has many seasons! Thirteen seasons sshhiieet..!!"

How can I deal with such a person in the kitchen...it's been hours and we haven't done even a bit of what we were supposed to do. Why did I never get to notice that he can be this stubborn sometimes. I was just standing there looking at him with rage at least maybe he could notice he's not getting funny even if he tries. And of course who asked about Wild n' Out anyways.

" I bet you can now stop staring at me Amanda Nolan"
He knew how much I hated being referred with both my names....I know he's only trying to get me angry and all up screaming. I couldn't stop looking at him...at last I saw him getting uncomfortable and acting like he wanted to stand up but at the same time he didn't want.

"Oh no come on Amanda....okay let's get serious now.."

He noticed my anger...he's been talking to me but I didn't afford an answer for any of his statements.. he stood up and picked a pan from another drawer. He picked a matchbox that was just at the side and lit the cooker. Later after the pan started heating,he fetched some oil from the shelves and popped some popcorns....

"You want some?"

He gave me a bowl with some after he was done. Why are we not doing anything still? I think I now have to ask Mom what we were really supposed to do in the kitchen. It was now getting out of hand suffocating myself in the same room with this boy.

I stood on my feet and gave him a tough look and started heading for the doorway.. I don't care how mom will take it. Having sat on the kitchen for more than two hours without anything to do.

After all Alvin wasn't up to giving me an idea of the whole content in here. So maybe I would just go for the last option I had in mind and that is ask Mom.

"Hey..where you going to? Well I know you didn't even hear a word your mom was saying and that's why I took time to see if really you would do anything"

Wow! So he knew all this time that I've been clueless and that's why he's been acting so dumb! Alvin! I gave him a cold look and paused back bending on one leg that I could feel my right hip pop out.

This was all nonsense Alvin..you didn't have to do that

But instead I said..."oh really..."

I smiled faintly as if I was even happy of his mediocrity.

"Yyeap and so....what we were supposed to do is cook pancakes...."

Is this why he took a pan in the first place?  "And if you could ask. .. yeah that's why I took the pan but since you still looked confused....I decided to confuse you more by having popcorns instead"

He laughed out loud as he told me that you'd think he was a mind reader since I hadn't asked him yet about the pan. He fetched a handful of popcorns from the bowl he was just giving me some minutes ago.

"Wasn't that mine?" I asked confused watching him fetch another time from the same bowl...he had his on the side I wonder why he couldn't focus!

"Hah!! Nop ...I think I gave you but you never took it." He really found it fun doing that shit...he was getting on my nerves and I was mad over every single word he uttered. I rolled my eyes and opened the cabinet that I'd placed the pepper in a questioning manner.

"So why did you send me to the farm to collect this?" I raised them with my left hand while resting my right on top of the cabinet.

"I don't know if I'm supposed to answer this but...I sent you to test if really you knew what your mom had dutied us here.." he couldn't manage eye contact with me and all time he continued eating the popcorns from both bowls now.

I cursed under my breath as I returned them back to the cabinet...why's Alvin treating me like this....he's acting like the worst brother one can ever have in a house...to make it worse...he's the only creature that is available if I wanna talk!

"Okay let me get the flour and all that staff then...wash up the pan and start your duty part ..mommy should be tired of waiting."

"Okay.." he smiled at me and I wondered why he's not even getting sorry for being such an arsehole.

I was back and I found him so engaged with staffs. I also got busy and when the silence was too much I opened my playlist and moved to Juice Wrld's album. I hummed softly and sang through the parts I was familiar with and with no time we were done with everything.

"Huh so you do listen to Juice Wrld instead?"
"Nope."

I lied again as we were walking to the dining table where mom was with a magazine... Has she been here all that time?!

Alvin laughed at my ironic answer behind me and I smiled as I placed my tray full of pancakes and biscuits on the table.

"Was this lunch??"
