The Difference Between Us

{40} Staring at the red haired devil

L O G A N

"AAAAAHHH! YOU SICK PERVERT!!"

My eyes flew open and I sat up. Why are people set to interrupt my sleep these days?! I rubbed my eyes and walked to the kitchen where the scream came from. I met Don at the stair way, guess he was also awoken by the scream, and we both went to the kitchen.

We both stopped when we saw Crystal dragging a millstone across the floor to the other end of the kitchen island. My blood ran cold when I saw a leg sticking out from beside the table... Is that- is that Ayo?! There was a thud and Ayo stood up from behind the table in a flash.

"WHAT THE HELL CRAZY WOMAN?!" He yelled but Crystal was having none of it. She ran and took a set of kitchen knives, and that was when Don and I rushed to action. I held Crystal by her waist and Doug held her hands. Ayo, who had ducked behind the island for safety, poked his head out and scowled at Crystal.

"What the hell happened?!" Don asked as he collected the knives from the fuming girl while I removed the millstone. Why the hell is a millstone in a modern kitchen?!

"I touched her ass." Was Ayo's reply.

I almost dropped the stone on my leg.

"It was an accident!" Ayo yelled and ducked behind the counter again when Crystal picked up a knife. Don managed to collect the knife and carry her to the living room while the others came down as they just heard the commotion downstairs. "I swear I didn't see her coming!" Ayo explained. "I just happened to bump into her and next thing I know, my hand was on her ass. I tried to explain but no! The crazy she devil was intent on smash my head into a bloody pulp!" He yelled the last part for her to hear.

"I heard you Ayo Adams! I swear I'll remove your body parts and freeze them, then I'll sell them to the butchers and personally use your testicles for my meatballs on my spaghetti!" She yelled back as she struggled to free herself from the girls' hold.

I never knew Crystal could be so vulgar.

"You hear that?! Before you kill me, I'll kill you first!" Ayo retorted.

"Let me at him! Let me at him! Listen pretty boy-" Crystal started and Ayo also stood up in preparation for a mortal combat when Scarlet came downstairs from her attic.

"You are too loud." She stated as she went to the fridge to take a drink of her lemon and strawberry mix. Seems like yesterday when Jordan drank that sacred juice. When I was living with her, I drank out of that drink...a sip, really, I was just curious! Don't tell her I did that.

Time flew and next thing I knew, it was Monday. I am a morning person but Mondays are not just my day of the week. After dressing up, I went downstairs for breakfast.

"Morning, Mrs Jennifer." I greeted as she set a plate of bean cakes in front of me.

"You can just call me mum, you know." She smiled and set another plate, Ayo's plate, next to me. "Vanilla or banana?" She asked.

"Vanilla please." At my request, she set a mug of vanilla custard and milk in front of me and I thanked her before eating.

"Where is Ayo?" She asked.

"Morning." Ayo sauntered into the dining room fully dressed but looking sleepy as hell. I wonder what he was doing up at night. "Bean cakes." He mumbled. "Banana custard please." He requested and Mrs Jennifer set his mug beside him. The stuff was overflowing with milk but that was how Ayo liked his stuff. Coffee, chocolate, cocoa drink, custard, name it, it had to have milk.
