Awakening
1667 Words
After dinner and an hour long of talking I decided to head out but it seems they have other plans.
“You should stay here for the night”
“The campus is far from here plus it’s pretty late there are no more public vehicles at this hour” Margaret said
“Yeah, we do have a guest room upstairs that you can use and we’ll just wash your uniform tomorrow” Ms. De Villa said
Margaret holds my wrist and makes puppy eyes.
“Please stay” She begged
I was about to turn her down but the look on her face is so darn cute. How could I say no to an adorable face like that.
“Okay I’ll stay but I do need some raw materials to cook pack lunch in the morning”
“I have these two fear feasters to feed” I bargained
Ms. De Villa stands up then approaches me. Gives me a pat on the shoulder and shows off her magical eyes then said
“You can use everything you want inside the fridge” she then walks away
She looks back at as with a smirk on her face.
“I leave you to it!” She said to Margaret in a teasing manner
Margaret pushes her sister away as if she’s embarrassed. Her cheeks blushes as she pushes her sister upstairs. It was funny seeing them fight like that and because of that I remember my little sister. I wonder what Dad and Blossom are doing? I hope they are fine without me. I should really pay them a visit
After their short bonding Margaret showed me my room. It was a bit dusty but I can live with it. I jumped to my bed, it was comfy. Margaret says goodnight then went on her way. After several seconds I stand up and lock the door just to make sure no one bothers me. I have this strange feeling that one of them will crawl up to my bed later. I check the windows one by one to make sure they are all locked. Once I’m done I lay down on my bed then close my eyes. I don’t know why but I can’t get to sleep. My body is fully relaxed but my mind is so tense. Out of frustration I stood up and opened a window, looked up at the sky and watched the stars dazzle in the night. It manage to make me feel at ease and somehow soothes me to sleep
With a loud yawn I hurry back to my bed and sleep. Marking the end of my day
After several minutes I had this urge to wake up. I am drenched in sweat but the air conditioner is working perfectly. I grab my phone and check what time it is and it is fifteen minutes past five.
“I better prepare breakfast and the twins’ lunch” I said to myself as I get out of bed
I grab all my things and head down to the kitchen. I tiptoed my way down so I won’t wake them up. I scan the area in search of cooking utensils. I was speechless upon seeing different varieties of pans and pots. I grab a medium size pot and give it a quick rinse. The water just slide off it so I don’t need to wipe it dry
“I should get one of these” a thought inside my head as I set the pot aside
I check the fridge and it is full, from the freezer down to the vegetable basket. I pause and close the door
“What to do? Oh, what to do?”
“What could be the best meal that uses less ingredients to prepare?” I ask myself
“You know I gave you permission to use everything you need right?” Someone said which somehow startled me
I turned around and saw Ms. Devilla, wearing only her towel. It seems she just finish taking a bath
“Just do whatever you want. I am expecting a good breakfast” she said
I just smiled at her and said
“Sure”
“Once you’re done there. The bathroom is over there” she inform as she points out where it is located
She then heads up stairs
I went back to the fridge and grabbed all the necessary ingredients to make spaghetti and french toast. Then I remembered something which put a smile on my face.
“What are you cooking it smells heavenly” Ms. De Villa said as she approaches me
She picks up a spoon and taste the simmering sauce I am making and she seems to like it
“Teach, do you have a coffee brewer?” I ask
“Yeah, that one” She said as she points it out
“Thanks”
“Please turn off the flame after three minutes,” I said as I approached the brewer. I gave it a quick scan and it looks easy to use. I ask Ms. De Villa where can I find her coffee and she points out a shelf. Just like their fridge it’s also full of different condiments.
I started making coffee and the aroma just filled the room. With every sniff I can’t wait to have a sip even Ms. De Villa is excited
“Can you make more? I would love to bring some at work” Ms. De Villa ask
I just smiled at her followed by a nod. She was so happy. I never saw her act so giddy coz at school she always has this strict look on her face and her authority overwhelms us all. I don’t know why but I prefer this version of her
“Ms. De Villa is it rude for me to ask your name?”
“You know so I can talk to you casually” I said
Her brows move as if she’s weirded out so I clarify my intention
“It kinda sucks calling you Ms. De Villa all the time”
“We sound too formal plus your sister is De Villa too right?” I said
“Sure, you can call me Alexandra”
“But I prefer big sis” Ms. De Villa said in a teasing manner
“I’ll call you Alex instead” I said
“Just a reminder. If you call me by my name in school I’ll make sure you’ll never see daylight again”
“Got that!” Alexandra threatened
“By the way aren’t you going to fetch your sister?”
“Breakfast is ready” I ask
“Don’t mind her. She has her own pacing”
“She’ll be here in seven minutes time” Alexandra said
I prepare the table and we dig in. Several minutes later Margaret arrives. She looks like a zombie that just woke up from her deep slumber. Her hair was a total mess and had drool on her face. She flips her plate and fills it up with food. I seriously wanted to laugh but Alexa prohibits me from doing it.
Margaret takes a bite of the pasta and her eyes immediately widens then said
“Wow sis you cook this? I am impress” then she stuffs her face again
Alexandra swings her head showing her disapproval then points me out using her lips. Margaret was completely embarrassed upon seeing me staring at her. She pushes her plate then covers her face and said
“What are you still doing here?” Margaret raised her voice at me
She stood up and went to the bathroom to get herself fixed.
Alexandra laughs hard as soon as Margaret leaves. I felt sorry for her. I never saw her so vulnerable like that.
“Is she always like that?” I curiously ask
“Yeah every morning” Alexandra said
She then stands up and take a sip of her coffee
“Are you done eating?” I ask
“Yeah, I’m heading out don’t want to be late at work” She said
“So you’re leaving?” I ask
She just nods then heads to the shelves. She grabs a tumbler and fills it up with coffee. It was quite so I stopped her
“Save some for your sister!” I said
“Just make her a new batch”
“She’ll appreciate it even more. She’s addicted to coffee and I you’re too late I already pour it all”
“Down to the last drop”
“Okay I’m out. Look the door when you leave okay” Alexandra said as if she’s in a hurry
I waited for Margaret to return but she’s taking too long so I went to check her out
I knock on the door but she’s not answering
“I’m coming in!” I shouted
We open the door at the exact same time. I was in a hurry to I run onto her, the floor was wet so we slip and fall to ground
“Get your hands off me you p*****t!” She shouts
Unknowingly my hand is groping her breast. I immediately take it off and crawl to the side. I am completely embarrassed. Then eerie noises start to pop out and a formidable aura shakes me down the core. I took a quick peek and saw Margaret’s eyes had this bright yellow flare.
“Marg! You’re eyes” I cheerfully said as I approach her to get a better look
