This choice: You fall asleep and Isabelle comes in hours later, wanting something! • Go Back...Chapter #5The day goes on... by: saicrit   At some point, you must have fallen into a light sleep. The steady flow of heavy, warm air, together with the fact that you didn't exactly slept much the last night helped you greatly as dozing off. Because of that, your heart almost burst out of your chest when the door to your room suddenly flew open with a loud crashing noise! You literally jumped up from bed, your little gaming tool (Still running, the battery power was good) flying away like a released bird and landing on the other side of the room.
"Hey, bro! I'm hungry!" Isabelle eagerly announced. You shook your sleepy head and glared at her angrily. "God damn... Don't you ever fucking knock?" Isabelle looked a bit startled and you remembered that mom didn't like it very much if you spoke like that... especially to your younger sis. But it didn't matter, she wasn't here right now. "I said I'm hungry!" Isabelle said defiantly, crossing her arms in front of her chest and pouting.
With a heavy groan, you get up from bed. Oh, how you would love to tell her Go get some food yourself! and then slam the door into her face, but no, you are much too good a brother for that. Your mom ought to be thankful. Either way, it wasn't like you actually had to cook something, which is good because you knew about as much about cooking as a cow knows about playing a piano, but your mom always left something for you in the fridge that needed to be microwaved. In the evening, she would be home again anyway and in the morning, both of you had your cereal anyway, so that was pretty much all the food-work you had to do.
Still, right now, the urge to drop back into bed and sleep for another few hours was overwhelming. But at least your sisters eyes shone with joy (And also hunger) as she watched you walking to the door. "Come on, I'll make us something..." You mutter and she follows you squealing and screaming in delight, jumping up and down. You wearily walk to the fridge, staring at your sister in disbelief. You only just noticed something; as she was bouncing up and down, a few droplets of sweat were dripping down her face every now and then. She starts sweating easily..., comes rushing into your mind Just like mom.
It was true, only that with mom, it was usually much worse. Because mom did not only sweat a whole lot, but you could also very much smell it from the other side of a room, which was very much disgusting. Also it was wise never to tell her that she smelled outright, because doing so was like waking an angry dragon!
But all those grim thoughts faded away as you look into the fridge and find, safely stored in a sealed container and wrapped into aluminium foil... "Schnitzel!" You scream in joy, looking at Isabelle, who returns the facial expression. "Mom made Schnitzel for us! How awesome is that??? Oh yeah, and some fries, too. Yesss!" You cheer as you tenderly remove the fine food from the fridge and carefully arange it onto two plates, before putting it into the microwave. "Yay! Mommy's Schnitzel are the best!" You hear Isabelle cheer from behind you and you find yourself nodding sagely. "True that. They are the best thing ever. Ok, maybe Pizza or Spaghetti, but hey, Schnitzel is Schnitzel, you know. Oh yes... how I love Schnitzel." You ramble more to yourself than to your sister, but she doesn't mind.
After a loud TING noise, you remove the precious food and place it on the table. This time, both of you devour it like starved tigers, savouring the fine taste. Both of you are finished shortly, and once again, you move out to remove the dishes since Isabelle has run off once more. This time, you didn't mind quite as much. Maybe today won't be such a bad day after all... you think smiling as you whistle some video game music to yourself.
Yes, maybe today would be nice after all. It would mostly depend on what Isabelle was going to do, though...  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
