Here We Go Again ( Not Complete)

Chapter 22 : Burnt Cookies

Daniel POV 

I woke up to find Mason using my back as his personal bed  and Baby sleeping on my side . 

Why ?

I have no idea . 

 I reached behind me to gently push him off  . Surprisingly he has gotten a bit bigger than when I first got him , and his personallity showed alot more now . He was very relaxed , got playful when he felt like it , but he did have the weirdest smile and he definetly had an attitude problem . Especially when it came to his food . 

When Baby had tried to take some of his food he scared the shit out of him , quite literally . It was gross . 

When I got up I looked over at my alarm clock and saw that it was almost twelve thirty in the afternoon . Thank God it was we were on break  , I thought . I threw on a tank top and went to brush my teeth , but the door was locked . I knocked twice and heard a muffled " who is it " from Evelyn . 

"Can I come in ?" I asked . She unlocked the door , letting me in . Her hair was in a messy bun , and was wearing sweat pants and one of my shirts , her glasses perched on her face . "You woke up just now ?" I asked while we were brushing our teeth  . 

"Yup , you too huh " she guessed . "Oh yeah , did you know mom if had anything planned for today ?" I spit out the tooth paste from my mouth . She shook her head no , then spit out the tooth paste too . 

" So does that mean we get to watch movies and eat turkey sandwhiches again this year ?" she asked a little bit too excited . I chuckled at her enthusiasm , "I mean Xavier invited us to go to his place later tonight " . "You do remember the last time we had Thanksgiving dinner with him right ?" she asked . 

I start laughing remembering the food fight we had when we were fifteen . "Yeah , but we're older now , you really think he wouldn't yell the word food fight in the middle of dinner " I said walking back into my room . She leaned against the door frame , folding her arms across her chest "I don't know , I mean it is Xavier we are talking about ". 

The front door opens then slams shut , waking up the dogs who were still sleeping on my bed . I know it can't be mom and Emmett yet because they were going to leep the auto body shop open until five . But then again , no one else has the key to the house . 

"Are you guys awake ?   " Xavier's voice yelled from the stairs . "Speak of the devil " hear her mutter . "Yeah we just woke up " I yell back at him . He comes into my room and jumps into my bed , avoiding the dogs , in nothing but sweats . 

" Did you just wake up and decided to come here to lay down on my bed ?" I ask him . He picks up Baby in his arms and strokes his fur . "Yes , yes I did , and by the way , leaving the spare key under the flower pot , probably not the best idea " he mentions . 

"How did you even know it was there ?" Evelyn asks in confusion . "Please , I've know you guys since we were seven , I know all your tricks " he smirks . She rolls her eyes and goes to take Baby from him .  " What ever . If anyone needs me , I'll be in my room watching netflix "  she says retreating to her room with Baby . Mason jumps off the bed and follows her . 

"Awe come on Mason your leaving too ?" Vier pouts . Mason looks between him and Evelyn , then leaves the room deciding to follow her instead . "Your dog hates me , any way , are you guys coming over , or are you just gonna watch movies and eat turkey sandwhiches again ?" he asks leaning against the headboard . 

I plop down on my bean bag chair , " I think we are gonna come over , I mean my mom doesn't seem to have anything planned so why not ". "Sweet , so what are we gonna do for the next four hours "

" I told you to take them out five minutes ago " Evelyn shouts at Xavier . "Well sorry , I got distracted by the show , " he hissed , while taking the burnt cookies out of the oven . I fanned the smoke away from blaring smoke alarm . "Dude try taking out the batteries " he suggested . 

"Dude try actually not try to burn my house down " I shot back , the alarm finally turned off . "Ugh , thank you , finally " she complained . " Why did you even want the damn cookies ?" I ask him . 

"I didn't , Xavier did " she says , inspecting the burnt cookies . I glare at him . "What , I had a sweet tooth " he says as his phone beeps . "You have a house around the corner , you couldn't go and get something from your snack drawer?" she asks , throwing away the non edible cookies . 

Xavier always has a sweet tooth , so he makes sure he has some sort of candy in his back pack , his car and his room . Its amazing how the guy stays so fit . 

"Speaking of home , I gotta go , I'll see you guy in an hour " he says , heading out of the kitchen . "Wait what about your burnt cookies " she shouts at him . "Bring them over " he shouts back , the front door slams shut . 

About an hour later , I'm dressed in a my white button up with the sleeves rolled up to elbows , dark jeans and white vans . Not very fancy , I know , but its what I got . I combed my hair a little bit to look presentable and decided I was ready . 

"Ev , you ready ?" I shouted from the bathroom . " Yeah , have you seen my jacket ?' she asks , I can hear her rummaging through her closet . "The black one ?" I walk into her room to see it turned upside down . 

Her bed is burried under half her closet , and her shoes are thrown everywhere  . I pick out exactly what she was looking for from the pile . "Yes I can't find it " she groans , I duck to the side as a shoes is thrown towards me . "I found it already . By the way , moms gonna flip when she sees your room " I say tossing her jacket at her face . 

"Thanks " she mumbled , sliding it on . She wore a loose maroon knitted long sleeve , black pants , small black boots , little to no make up - not that she needed it - , and her long black hair was curled , accenting her her green eyes more . 

"You know , I think this is the fanciest we've ever dressed up for thanks giving " I mention , fixing my hair in her mirror . I hear her camera clicking behind me . She looks at me from behind it and smirks , " I agree ".

"What ever let's go "

"Food is ready !" Luisa calls from the kitchen . Xavier and I were in his living room , playing with his five year old cousin , Emma . "Veve your rude " she pouts when he turned off the T.V. "Emmy , we gotta go eat , you know how much I love to eat " he rubs his stomach .

 "You suck , " she mumbles ."Emma , what did I say about saying that " Luisa warns from the hall way , watching her . She looks around the room , as if the answer is written on the walls . "We only say it to Veve inside the house " she answers brightly .

 Making me go into a fit of laughter .

"Dude I love your cousin " I choke out in between laughs . He frowns and fold his arms "Whatever " . "Are you guys gonna come and eat or what , cause if not , Emma , Ev and I will eat it all " Luisa says , picking up Emma up and heading to the kitchen . 

To my understanding , Luisa worked as a cook at fancy resturant in the next town over . And looking at the food in front of me , I hoped they paid her good . Seeing as there wasn't many of us here today , she made a small turkey , some pasta , rice , stuffing , an array of cooked vegetebles and , baked some rolls .

"Wow you went all out Luisa , this looks amazing " Vier complimented , sitting down next to me . "Well you can thank Evelyn for the rolls and rice , if it weren't for her help , we would not be having them right now " she said , setting Emma down in between her and Evelyn . 

"We would have had cookies , but someone burned them this morning " she said glaring at Vier . He groaned and put a hand on his forehead. "How many times do I have to say I'm sorry " .
