“Good morning, mom.” Jayson said as he sat down in the dining table.“Good morning, dad.” He greeted.“Hope you slept well?” His mom asked with her usual demeanor.“Yeah, ohh, so yummy.” He said, salivating the food that was placed on the dining table.“Silly.” His mom said playfully.“And where is Julia?” He asked as he looked around.“Here, I am.” She announced her presence herself. Jayson looked right and saw her standing in a blue flora gown and black sandals to match it.“And where are you going, missy?” He asked with his brows raised.“No where exactly.” She shrugged and sat down.“Gosh, I am so hungry.” She said and started serving herself.“Hello, big sister.” Helen said coming downstairs.“And what took you so long, little sister?” Julia asked in return.“Jayson and I had some paint fight earlier this morning. He ruined my dress and my body was so full of paint so I had to clean up.” Helen explained.“Well, if you had not come to meet me in my room, you won’t have been messed
“Good morning, granny.” Elsa said as she came downstairs.“Good morning, my child, how was your night?” She asked her.“I slept like a baby.” Elsa said and smiled.“Really?” She asked playfully.“Yes, what should I help you with?’ She asked as she scanned the whole place.“I am actually done with cooking the food, all it remains is washing the dishes.” She said.“Okay then, I will help you.” Elsa said.“And where is that sleepy head?” She asked.“As you said, sleepy head, she is obviously still asleep.” She said and chuckled.“Good morning, granny.” Ellie muttered as she took slow strides down the stairs.“And here she comes.” Elsa said cleaning the plates.“Good morning my baby, how was your night?” She asked.“I had the best sleep ever.” She said stretching out.“Hmm, what is smelling so good?” She said and sniffed in the aroma.“Pasta and sauce.” She yelled realizing the food. Their granny just smiled at her silly behavior.“Oh, grandma, how did you know that this was what I wanted
Elsa came out of the office and walked over to meet Claire.“Settled?” Claire asked.“Yeah.” Elsa simply said.“Pay?” Claire asked again.“Yeah, since I will be here for less than two weeks so..” Elsa said.“We have new customers, go and meet them.” Claire said as she continued what she was doing.Elsa cleaned her hands and left the kitchen. She walked over to the guys that were seated there.“How may I help you?” She asked. She sniffed in his perfume and it smells so familiar and not only that, his white hair had the same style. He felt so familiar to her despite the fact that he turned his back towards her.He looked up to her and a pair of ocean blue eyes met with that of grey eyes. Their eyes went wide open as the realization hit the both of them.“Elsa?” Jayson said. Jake looked up from the menu he was reading and looked at the both of them.Elsa swallowed lightly and said, “How may I help you?”“Hmm.. You... Erm.. I.. We.. I” Jayson was tongue-tied.“Orange juice.” Jake said and
“What is wrong with you, Elsa?” Claire asked as she kept trying to maintain the pace at which she was walking with Elsa.“Nothing is wrong with me.” She replied.“Do you.. probably know them?” Claire asked. Elsa swallowed dryly and looked at her.“Yes, I do.” She said.“Oh my gosh, you know them?” And you are behaving this way? Elsa, I have told you several times that not all guys are like..” Elsa turned to look at her sharply.“If you mention his name or say anything relating to him, I will leave you.” She warned.“Oh, sorry, sorry.” Claire apologized. “But come to think of it, where did you meet them?” “We are classmates in the school we got admitted to.” She replied.“Oh, they are really good-looking and they look like money, I will keep saying it.” Claire said as she turned back to look at them.“See that guy with that rare color of oceanic blue eyes and cute face. Wait, I thought they don’t allow dyed hair in your school.” She asked.“Who told you that? They only accept hairstyl
Crystal stared at the lady that stood before her car. She looked familiar. So familiar yet she could not make out where she had met her.“Honk at her again.” She ordered the driver and he did.Ellie looked up and smile softly despite the heavy rain, she moved away from the entrance and walked down. Crystal stared at her while she passed by her. “Gosh, it is raining.” She thought. She opened the door and came down.“Ma'am, you can't..” The driver was about to tell her not to get down but Crystal already gotten down.“Hey.” She called out to Ellie. Ellie stopped and looked at her.“It is raining so heavily tonight, I suggest you spend the night at my place then first thing tomorrow, you will leave.” She said smiling at her even though they could hardly see each other.“No, it is not actually necessary. My house isn't that far anymore.” Ellie lied smoothly. Her house was no where close to this place. And more she can't spend the night at a stranger’s house.She shuddered, the cold was a
Knock! Knock! Knock!“Coming.” Her quivering voice said as she came out of the kitchen. She placed the mug in her hands down and went to open the door.“Oh, oh, my daughter.” Elsa's grandma cooed as soon as she opened the door.“Oh my goodness, couldn’t you have waited for the rain to stop a little?” She asked as Elsa found her way in.“Grandma, we were on our way home when it started to drizzle so it is actually nothing.” Elsa said and shrugged.“You must be feeling cold. Go upstairs and take a warm bath. I will prepare a cup of hot tea for you.” She said as she stared at her wet body. Elsa twitched and took slow strides towards her room. She got to her room and did not see Ellie there. She hurriedly pulled off her clothes and went into the bathroom.Not long after did she come out and put on some pyjamas. She used the towel to dry her hair and tied it up into a bum even though it was not completely dry. She got to the sitting room and saw her granny.“This is the hot tea I prepare
“Tell me about yourself.” Crystal asked as she took a bite from the banana.“I go by the name Ellie and I am nineteen years of age. I have a twin sister as you may have known.” Ellie said in a robotic tone that made Crystal almost laugh and took drank her yogurt.“Nice one.” Crystal said.“And you?” Ellie asked.“Huh?” Crystal looked up at her.“I mean what of you?” She asked.“Oh, actually, I am the female child and I have an elder brother.” Crystal said with a little smile.“Wow. And where is he?” Ellie asked as she looked around.“He doesn’t stay here and besides he is still learning.” She said.“Learning?” Ellie asked.“I mean that he is in his final year in University of Toronto.” She said.“What course is he offering?” Ellie asked.“International relations.” Crystal said and gulped down the coffee that remained in her mug. She belched slightly and went ahead to rinse the mug.“Wow, such a competitive course.” Ellie said.“Yeah, my brother is quite daring.” Crystal said, smiling.
**Next Morning**“Il mio bambino.” Crystal's mother, Martina, said in a sing-song tone as she and her husband came in.(Il mio bambino is an Italian language and it means ‘my baby' in English) She looked around and saw that it was only the maids that were there.“And where is the young miss?” She asked them with eye narrowed on them.“Welcome, ma'am and sir.” They all chorused.“She is still asleep.” One of them answered.“Asleep?” Martina asked and looked at her husband.“Yes.” The maid answered.“Mamma.” Crystal called out as she descended the stairs with hands on the rail.(Mamma is an Italian language for ‘Mom’)“My baby.” She cooed as she went to hug her.“Papà.” She greeted. “Good morning.” She smiled.“Good morning, my child.” He replied and smiled at her.“Hope you slept well?” He asked.“Yes, thank you for asking.” She said and looked back at her mom.“So how was the party you attended?” She asked.“Nice and heartwarming.” Martina said and went to take a seat.“Tesoro.” H
