Graceland 101

Chapter 75

As the sun peeked from behind the clouds to stream into my twin's room. Mikey woke up to get ready for his usual morning run. He went downstairs and out the kitchen door to stretch. Later on, he runs down the beach. BD is waiting for his usual pet. They enjoyed this alone time together.

Our houses are now awake and noisy. I woke up to get ready. Jakes brews some coffee for them to drink. He mixes my hot chocolate to leave it on the island in my tumbler. Both of us greeted each other. I took out a glass and the mugs.

George and mom are cooking breakfast at the stoves. I took out the remaining place settings to put them on the stoves. The team sets our kitchen table together. All of us hang out around the kitchen area. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves.

Breakfast is promptly served at 8:00 am. Everyone dished out our food to eat. The team sat in their assigned seats at the tables. Mikey and I are sitting on the couch using our coffee table. We ate together like one big happy family. Soon after eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

The team exchanged our goodbyes to each other. Later on, we locked our front doors. All of us head to the cars and trucks. Our driveways and houses are now left vacant. Everyone else went to their missions.

I spend the morning over by his mom. They are too happy to have me with them. Of course, my weekly Spanish class is under way. Lucy is my teacher for the day. Once class is finished we just relax.

Johnny drops me off at his mom's for a visit. We went up to the door. I rang the bell to the house. All of us greeted each other that morning. Later on, I will be back to pick her up. We gave him kisses to watch him leave. I sat down in a chair at the table. Baby boy told me that you need to learn spanish. Yes I do it's a work requirement. They shared a look with each other.

Today's lesson is going to be on the basics. It will become harder every time you visit. Class starts that morning for me.

Me: muy bein y tu

Both of them looked at each other then at me smiling. You are doing a good job so far Tia. They practiced a little bit more with me. Mama T is so proud of me. I thanked them for doing this with me.

Johnny returns to pick me up that afternoon. He greets all of us at the same time " Good afternoon girls." All of us replied to him in unison " Evening Johnny." She did good with her first class. "Cuddly," he exclaimed now you are going to speak it at home.

We put down our stuff on the couch. Johnny went into our kitchen to get snacks and drinks. I found something for us to watch on tv. We are relaxing on the couch. Our shoes are kicked off.

I went upstairs to take a quick bath. The team came home from work. Everyone greets each other in our family room. I entered the room again. George mentions goodbyes to each other. He drove to his place.

Mikey and I are sitting on the couch using our coffee table for the food. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

I went up to our room to write in the note book. Minutes after that I put away in my drawer. Walked across the room to pick up the guitar. For the rest of my time on our bed practiced it. Mikey came to hang out with me.

George and mom start on dinner at the stoves. I took out the place settings to put them on the island. The team sets our kitchen table together. All of us hang out around the kitchens. Our meals are in their final minutes on the stoves.

Mikey and I are sitting on the couch using our coffee table for the food. We ate together like one big happy family. After eating we put all the dirty dishes in our sinks.

We broke up into our usual boys vs girls groups. Our girls and sisters cleared the tables. I wiped down every surface with a rag. Mikey washes the dishes to refill it with the wet ones. The guys are getting our cooler ready with drinks and ice.

Everything is put back in it's regular places. All the kitchen lights are turned off. Later on, we head down to the beach. Bonfire time begins right now. We settled down in our spots. Drinks are passed around the circle.

Storytime is in full swing now. A long break is taken to get refills for our drinks. Jokes are also told during this time. Our laughs are heard at each end of the beach. As for the stars shone brightly over our heads as the fire crackled in front of us.

I walked back up the shore to our house. Upon my arrival left the light on for the others and put my bottle in our sink. Seconds later I went to our room to change into my jammies and brush my teeth. Mikey follows my cue. We changed rooms in our house.

Mikey sat next to me on the chaise. We are cuddling with each other. Seconds later he begins reading the book to me. I took the book to read my chapters. There's one more passing of the book. It is now rested down on the table.

Seconds later our family came in dragging the cooler with them. The elders added their bottles to the sinks. Our younger sibling, Mel, and Ryan threw away their juice boxes in the bins. I unpacked the cooler. Mikey threw away the bottles and dumps the ice. The team heads upstairs to get ready for bed.

As for the team returned to our family room. They are on the couch or in it's surrounding areas. The tv sets are turned on. John chose something from the box for them to watch. He puts extra volume for us to hear from the living room.

We stretch our legs after a while of sitting down. Everyone stood up to mention goodnights to each other. Mikey gave me the usual forehead kiss. The team did the same thing with my cheeks. I did a quick bathroom break.

Mel heads to bed. Both of us went over to the couch. Roger is now cuddling with our big sister. I am on the ground between our couch and the coffee table. Nat is matching me on the opposite side. His long fingers are running through my hair.

I went into our room that night. Pedro is waiting for me. The lights are turned off. Counting sunglasses time begins right now. Seconds later I am fast asleep. The team is still watching tv. Laughter is dying down slowly now. Our tv sets and family room lights are turned off. The team went to their own rooms. Nat walks into our shared one to join her dolphin. Everyone else joins Mel soon in dreamland that night.
