Chris Ozra stood at the front door holding so many plastic grocery bags in his hands that he couldn't feel his fingers. Using his elbow, he tried to open the door but ended up smacking his shoulder into the glass pane. He edged back and pressed his foot against the handle, but the door still wouldn't badge, finally he gave up and knocked with his forehead. Through the wavy glass, he watched his brother Rony making his way down the hallway. He opened the door with an uncharacteristic scowl on his face,

"Why didn't you call?" Rony asked , taking some of the bags from him.

"Why is the door locked?" Chris looked over Rony's shoulder, a small boned girl with blonde hair appeared and mouth sync hallo to Chris who just nods and exchange funny glances with his brother.

Rony is a college student studying journalism, a bad ass boy , a one day stander would be a better name than using 'player' for him.

Chris makes way for the girl,analysing everything about her, she didn't look like Rony's type, she leaves without a word, Rony rushes to put the grocery bags and follows her.

Unlike Rony ,Chris is a high school senior, the Head boy and has received division player of the year trophie in foot ball , he is the opposite of his brother though he wishes to be him.

Chris got into the kitchen dropped the grocery bags down and swang around in astonishment, the kitchen was spotless clean, he couldn't believe what he was seeing, so he took a few steps back to check the living room, he smiled ruefully the place was super clean, for the first time after their parents left for a 2 weeks vacation. He went back to the kitchen in a quick pace straight to the pots ,Rony had cooked? This didn't amuse him, the last time Rony had insisted on making dinner for everyone, they all camped on the toilet door that night , their stomachs rumbling sending a big storm down the pipe they each in turn got into the toilet , the worst part is they were forced to use one toilet all four of them since the other one wasn't usable.

Rony got back from escorting the girl and found Chris rooted in front of the pots, he definitely knew what he was thinking " it's safe don't worry" Rony said hitching up his sweatpants as he knelt down to the grocery bags.

Chris ignores him , his attention is on the spiced steak stew, he takes a spoonful and tastes "uhmmm this is good , l hope l won't be needing the toilet in the middle of the game"

Rony laughs as he put the milk in the refrigerator " Really do you think l would Cook something like that and at the same time clean like l'm going crazy, hell no Hannah did everything" Chris didn't say a word, he just pointed out the window using his thumb and mouth stuck open.

"Yes the one who was here......." Rony nods to that, she was probably the 10th girl in two weeks "......well she wouldn't let me have the cookie but you know the drill No cookie No leaving , so she decided to clean and cook"

Chris suppressed a laugh,"judging by the name she's a......."

"I didn't know" Chris saw his anger and didn't want to bother him about Hannah, a part of Chris wanted to laugh out loud and that he deserved it but a less than 15% pitted him. Rony might be a bitcher but he is the best brother one could have and the worst cook.

Chris goes to the living room and leaves Rony in the kitchen. He was impressed with the God sent Hannah to come and defeat the dust and the pots before the Angels of the house come, if the Angels could have arrived before Hannah it could be Hell for the two boys. Chris walked around nodding checking each and every part of the living room like an invigilator before he slouched into a chair.

He's phone went off, it was a message from his ex Ivy. Ivy came back from the country side a week ago, the day she had arrived she went straight to Chris, when she saw him she had licked her lower lip and wished if she didn't dump him , because now Chris looked amazing. Her definition of amazing here was all about being muscular. On Chris's side he thought that Ivy looked more like a diva than back then when she tried all her best but she was just a piece of liver. Ivy is an attention seeker, Miss know it all.
