The constant ringing of the doorbell awoke me from my slumber. Now, since I was the designated driver for yesterday's disaster of a night, I am now also obligated to make sure that my wards sleep off their hangovers for the better half of the day. Even though we Ubered home, the rules still apply. Ugh, I feel so sluggish after that shit show. I begrudgingly got out of my oh-so-warm bed and grabbed my night robe from behind my bedroom door. I didn't even bother tying it before I stepped out into the hallway. Two very sleepy-looking brothers popped their heads out of their rooms, looking at me expectantly. "Yeah, I'm on it, go back to bed. " I said walking down the hallway. "Thanks, sweets" they both answered before closing their doors. It was scary how in sync they were sometimes, Alex and Danny weren't even twins, nor are they related by blood. They were just adopted by the same lovely couple. I guess growing up with someone can do that. The door bells incessant rigging brought my train of thought to a halt. I didn't even realize I had made it to the front door. Reaching for the lock, I began to open the door yelling "Hold your god damn freaking horse. Jesus, I'm here, who is-" I didn't get to finish because I was now face to face, well face to chest with Matthew. "MATTY" I screamed, jumping on him. "Oh god, I missed you so much, why are you back so early? Oh Jesus Christ almighty, it feels like everything's gon to shit without you" I squealed peppering his face with kisses.
"Hey baby girl, I missed you too. Now you mind telling me why you're answering the door in nothing but panties and a night robe" he mused walking into the apartment, dragging a suitcase with him, while still holding me. It was then I became very aware that he was touching my bare bottom. I really need to get used to sleeping in PJs. "You know I don't like wearing clothes when I sleep" I answered shimmying my way down. He just laughed and walked into the living room with me in toe. "But seriously, you should at least tie the robe. People don't need to see all your goods" he said in a serious tone, sitting down on the couch. "Seriously, it's not my fault, I had a shitty night yesterday and I couldn't bother to put anything on after taking off what little I had on and making sure the boys were taken care of. Plus, you're the one waking people up at-" I picked up my phone from the table, guess I'd forgotten to take it with me into my room, I had 16 notifications. I unlocked it and ignore the Instagram and Snapchat notifications. An email, in particular, caught my eye. "-12:13 PM, on a Saturday anyway. I'm a little groggy" I finished, tying my robe and sitting down next to him as I continued to open the email. It was from Annie.

Thank's babe. I'll definitely be seeing you around.🥰
"About that, mind telling me why I got a phone call from Jake, at 3 in the morning, asking me to come back ASAP because WW3 was well under way and he said he needed emergency backup" he asked, taking my phone from me. I sighed, "Why tell you when I can just show you, click on the attachment, but you might not like what you're about to see," I said wincing at the end of my sentence. He did as I said and I got up to go start breakfast, I didn't want to relive that. Grabbing the pancake mix, a bowl, a whisk, and the carton of eggs from the fridge, I walked over to the stove and greased the griddle, and began to cook. I could feel the anxiety from yesterday begin to creep up again, I'm definitely going to end up stress-baking at this rate. I guess the boys will have a lot of baked goods to take to class this week. Maybe a couple of pies, bagels, cookies, whatever I can get done before 7 tomorrow. "I can see why you're stressed about the situation, I'm guessing we'll be set with goods for the next 2 weeks," Matthew asked walking up beside me after a while. "Yeah, understatement of the century. Could you be a dear and go to the store to buy me some groceries, the list is on the fridge door. Add eggs and anything that I can use to bake because I'll probably blow through everything and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon" I said tilting my head toward the fridge. "Yeah, sure. I'm taking Lex and Dan with me. J wants to meet up at the dinner around 6 and you need to be left alone for a little while" he said kissing my temple, I didn't answer I just hummed in response. He left the kitchen to wake the boys up and popped back in as I was pilling the pancakes I'd made on to a plate. "Mind if use your bathroom," he asked "When do I ever" I replied squinting at him. He just shook his head and disappeared again. Now to start on the eggs, Matthew and I liked ours fried, Danny liked his scramble and Alex liked plain omelets with a little cheese. By the time I had finished plating everyone's breakfast, they had just walked into the kitchen. "Omlet and pancakes and scrambled eggs and pancakes," I said handing them their plates. They both kissed my cheeks with a 'thanks sweets' as the walked to the livingroom. "3 fried eggs and pancakes, take the syrup with you...If any of you so much as drop a molecule of anything on my couch, I will castrate you all. Now go, I'll be over in a bit" I said handing Mathew his plate.
"Thank you, baby girl. We'll all talk before we head out" he said kissing my forehead. I just sighed. After a little while, I brought them some orange juice, then went to eat in the kitchen while cleaning up. After they left, I began making cookie dough, it was around 2 so I had time to bake at least 3 to 4 sets of goodies, they wouldn't take long since I had stocked up on box mix. And that's exactly how I spent the next three hours of my life. Baking 4 cheesecakes, 3 dozen cookies, 2 cakes, and 2 pans of brownies while contemplating my will to live through it all. Don't ask how I did it, I just did, I'm on auto pilot when I stress bake. By the time they got back, the house smelled like a bakery, and my hair was probably covered in flour and whatever else I had used. "I see you had-" Mathew started pausing slightly, "Fun" both Alex and Danny answered in a questioning tone. "Stop doing that, its creepy" I whined going up to them to grab the groceries in Matthew's hands. "You love it" Danny said walking to put up his half. "Yeah, she does" Alex chimed in following his brother. "And I'll take these back, you go take a shower so we can talk before we leave" Matthew said grabbing the groceries back. "We'll take care of the dishes and take the goods out of the oven when the timer goes off" Alex added. "Awww, I love you guys" I gushed going in for a group hug. "Nope, no hugging. We already took a shower and you're covered in baking gunk" Danny said turning my body towards the hallway. I just laughed and walked away into my room.

Romansa"Can't I just be selfish for once. Can't I not worry about what people think of my actions. About trying to please them" I felt hot tears running down my face, I couldn't look up now. Not while I was I like this.
