Dinner and surprises.

I can't get enough of you✨

ENJOY!!!

"Skylar Hazel Davies don't tell me you plan on sleeping in that bed all day till God knows when!"Groaning against my pillow,I let out a string of colourful words at the intrusion on my much needed sleep.For the love of all things holy can't someone get the peace and quiet she deserves?

I mean come on!It's the freaking weekend I have the right to sleep till God knows when but not on my mother's watch I can't.

Fanfreakingtastic.

"Elizabeth!!!...You better be up before I get to you."My mom shouts across the hallway,her footsteps get closer and louder.With my eyes tightly shut,I mentally count the number of steps till she gets to my door.

...Three.Two.One.Click!

"Do you realize it's past one already?The laundry is not going to do itself you know."Rolling my eyes I pull the comforter over my head with no intention of getting up anytime soon.

The things I would give to make the laundry do itself.

"I worry about you sometimes Skylar,believe me.Your addiction to sleep is uncanny and quite unhealthy."

Tossing against the covers,I murmur."It's Saturday mom.I'll be up in a few hours."

"It's not just any Saturday Skylar."

Why's today any different from the others?She's never bothered to wake me by this time before knowing how long I like to sleep in.Suspicion building and sleep ruined,I sit up abruptly with narrowed eyes and ask,

"What's happening today?"

Eyes dancing,she settles beside me."Well your dad ran into one of his old friends since high school and invited he and his family for dinner tonight."She pauses,expecting a reaction but I just stare blankly."Isn't that nice?...catching up on lost time with friends and making new ones. I'd love to run into some of mine one of these days."

"Yeah it's lovely.Any reason my sleep was ruined?"I scowl deeply and in succession my stomach rumbles voicing my obvious hunger.

"The food is also not going to cook itself for our guests now,is it?And I've been dying to try out a new recipe I saw online."She grins triumphantly.

"They'll be here in four hours.Be down in fifteen."With a final note,she shuts the door behind her.

These guests better be worth the trouble.

Three hours later...

"Isn't all these a bit too much mom?" Standing by the kitchen counter,I eye the elaborate dish on the table she had prepared for tonight. One would think we are about to feed the whole neighbourhood but knowing my mom it's not impossible of her to do so.

The chicken spaghetti with a side dressing of spinach and the mouth watering chocolate cake spoke volumes about how excited she is to meet Dad's guests and set a good impression.I just wanted to have some food and get this night over and done with.

Nate attempts to eat out of the cake but I swat his hand away before he smears it,ruining its perfection."Don't eat it yet.We have to wait until the guests arrive."

"Ow!I just wanted to be sure it tastes as good as it looks."He sulks,stomping away.

Placing the plates and other essentials on the dining table, she waves my words aside."It's not too much honey.We have to be very hospitable and generous as long as it is within our capacity."
