Shadows

Privately?

   My nostrols were filled with the aroma of spices. I finish plating up the last of the chicken. I guess dad and Rose should be arriving soon...I think as look up to the dark blue and black clock on the wall. "Skyler, do you think that I'll be able to eat the chicken leg?" Blake was nagging, once again.

"Well if I don't eat both of them before you than yes, why are you asking anyway?" I ask him.

"Because...I don't know, you just seem to be a bit quite lately..." Blake turned away from me as he replied.

"I'm fine," I tell him. He worries too much...he's so cute...it must be in the genes...

    There is a knocking at the door. I give a smile to Blake before, setting off to the front door. The carpet felt strangely cold as I walked through it. My hand lands on the white handle of the door. I turn the key with my right hand, as my left hand pushes the handle down and pulls open the door. A tallish dark brown haired man stood out the door, behind him stood a girl with red lips and blue eyes, but also the same shade of hair. I drag the door wider to let both enter. "Thank you, Skyler," the man, my dad said as he walked past. 

The girl, my sister as she dragged past, looked at me sadly. What happened this time?

    Me and Blake waited as dad and Rose took their time to come down the stairs ready for a late diner. Luckily my timing was late, otherwise I would of had to warm everything up! We sat; dad sat at the end of the table, as always while Blake sat to his right and me to his left and Rose next to me. "Your sister ended up in my office today, but I have forgiven her since your diner is so good, as always, I'll add," My dad said with a 'you better tell her off' look.

"Thank you dad!" I turn my head towards my sister, "How did you end up all the way over there?"

She pouted with puppy eyes," I didn't mean to but..."

She looked away, as she brought her face back up a serious look crossed her face,"could I talk to you sometime later about this..."She looked at dad then Blake, "...privately..."

We all looked at her shocked. Did she just talk in a serious tone?

Nobody said anything: meaning that we all agreed.

We finished our diner, by the end of it we were laughing our heads off, because Blake nearly choked on a piece of lettuce when he was trying to cheer the mood with a song. It did work though, we were all laughing.
