Chapter 3: Morning Sleepyhead

Nathaniel's P.O.V

My warm cozy blankets were pulled away from me harshly, making my goosebumps stand up from the cold. I heard someone murmuring something and suddenly all the lights turned all and the velvet draped curtains of my room were drawn allowing sunlight to coarse through the room.

I  grunted and rolled over so as to avoid sunlight. A light while later all the fans and air conditions were turned off-but it was already getting cold so I don't mind...ha- then, someone started smacking me continuously with a pillow. I used my hands to block the attacks but my weak hands didn't support me.

"Get up, get up, get up!!" the person smacking me with the pillow said in a high pitched irritating voice. I put a pillow over my head to avoid the attacks and fell back asleep-yeah I can still sleep!! I feel that sleepy....and plus this is an everyday thing-

After a few moments in heavenly peace, the pillow from over my head was removed sternly and i was being hit by the pillow all over again.

I spoke in a hoarsed morning voice, as loud as my vocal cords could allow in this early morning time, "STOP IT DANIEL!! Lemme sleep"

He stopped and turned off the lights and turned on the fans and shut the curtains. "Thank you" I mumbled and curled up into a ball but now my sweet sleep had already vanished into thin air-when I shout in the morning or say something when I wanna sleep, my sleep disappears.

He knew about it, that dumbass- I squinted my eyes open slowly, I sat up to see an idiot of what you would call my brother, one and only ladies and gentleman- Daniel. He spoke mischievously,"Morno sleepyhead" I gave him an annoyed and dry look and got out of bead lazily.

**************

"Why do you have to do that everyday?" I yelled at Daniel who was sitting in front of me on our dining table stuffing his face with salad. He swallowed his bite and only smirked at me in reply, his light grey eyes now blue, making no effort to hide his happiness.

I am all now all freshened up and showered and eating breakfast with my Mom, Dad, Camielle-my 1 year old sister- and my idiot brother Daniel.

Annoyance still creeping onto me, I tightened my grip on my fork and opened my mouth to yell again, but was interrupted by someone clearing their throat rather very loudly, i snapped my head towards the source and that is Camielle, sitting beside Daniel and giving me a dry look with her dark brown eyes and shaking her head disapprovingly, her black wavy hair bouncing on her back. I stared at her for sometime as she continued eating her salad. I looked at mom, sitting beside me, who was serving dad some more salad who was sitting at the head of our long dining table.

I stared at dad's pate but my thoughts elsewhere, plotting a revenge plan against Daniel.

Dad must have caught me staring at him because he asked,"You need some salad son?"

"huh? What?.....Oh no, Thanks" I said distracted.

I looked at mom who was looking at me, worry deep in her dark brown eyes, before i could ask what's up, she asked worriedly,"What's the matter Nathaniel? You seem distracted. 

I looked at Daniel annoyingly, to tell her that he is the problem. I turned to mom again to see her oval face washed with relief and a big genuine smile on her face. She nodded at me and turned to Daniel and started,

"Daniel, you shoul-"

"Nuh-uh" Daniel interrupted mum and continued,"Mom, we all know how this is gonna go. You tell me to stop and I tell you that i won't, then you try to convince me to leave your favorite son alone and-"

"There we go again!!" Camielle said frustrated as she smacked her palm to her forehand, Dad covered his mouth with his right wrist, a fork dangling from his hand, to hold back  his chuckles. Mom looking at Daniel lovingly as i enjoyed the moment with my family as my stupid brother kept ranting.
