A Match to Water

Let's Go!

I lean against the sink, my head feels dizzy..but nothing else happened. I get a feeling of panic inside of me, I open the door and see Ridley back asleep on the floor. I let out a sigh. He’s still there. I keep his shirt on but I grab my skinny jeans and head out. He’s still sleeping. Oi. There comes a knock on the door, and a low voice comes from it.

“Good morning Taylor, is Ryan up?” Mr. Bree says, I look back at Ridley. His eyes were closed, his eyes were calm he was completely relaxed. 

“Um, he isn’t he is still asleep..” I hear a heavy sigh from the other side. I guess he should be up by now. I glance back at the clock. 9:57, I guess he should be up. 

“Ok, well, today is Saturday, and we are going to your house to pick up your possessions later on today and maybe hit the mall..” I nod my head, sounds good. I haven’t been there in a long time. Believe it or not. 

“Sweet, I’ll get Ridley up.” I go over to him and think. How to wake him up. Turn on the lights? No. Dump cold water on him? Naw. Poke him a lot? Nah. Or should I do what my mom does-did to me.. I rest my hands on his back and gives a small shake.

“Ridley, its time to get up. It’s Saturday. I’ll make you breakfast downstairs..” I see a small smile crawl on his face. That got him. Guys and there food. Aye aye..

“Ok.. I’ll be down soon..” he replies, I get up and head downstairs. I wrap my hair into a ponytail and head for the fridge. I grab everything you would need for pancakes, and scrambled eggs. I start to make breakfast.

Under 30 minutes I have 10 pancakes and a lot of scrambled eggs, I set some glasses on the table and poured water. I look up and see Mr. Bree standing amazed. 

“Taylor... you made this?” he asks astonished. I nod my head and give him a smile. 

“Yes I did. Me and my friend Xandra when we are bored we would make food and have her parents eat it for breakfast, lunch or supper. Whichever one it was.” I say to him, he gives a satisfying smile. I motion to the table and he sits down, I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. That must be Ridley, I dash over to the stairs and instead I see a woman. Black hair, really blue eyes, she wore a white shower robe. Wow. She is really pretty. She comes to the bottom of the stairs and sits down at the table. Looking down at her, her blue eyes shine brightly. That’s where Ridley get’s his perfect eyes from. 

“You must be Taylor. I dare say, you are very beautiful.” her voice was kind, soft, and seemed like the voice of a queen. Strong and wise. I give a small smile to her, she is polite. 

“I am Taylor, yes..” I say with my voice cracking, I cover my mouth quickly. That was embarrassing.. I hear a small laugh from her, it wasn’t one of making fun of but of happiness. 

“That was very cute..” she says. I laugh and sit down across the table from her. I’m glad she is like that, she is somewhat like my mom. 

“Breakfast...breakfast...where are my breakfast...” I recognize the voice, there appears the still messy black hair and tired eyes of Ridley. I let out a small giggle, his eyes must have seen the breakfast feast before him. Cause his mouth started watering. He literally jumped from where he was and landed on the seat. “Let’s eat!!”

“Alright Batman, calm down..,” his mom teases, I give a small laugh. Than go quiet. She looks over at me and rolls her eyes, “There is nothing wrong with laughing in this house Taylor, you are free to laugh at anything..” I nod my head as they start to eat, I close my eyes saying a quick word for the food and start to eat. I pull off a pancake and some eggs and start to eat.
