Chapter 17

Scarlett woke up to loud snoring near her ears. She turned around to see her girlfriend sleeping while snoring loudly. Her arm was around her waist and her hair was all over the pillow. Should she cut it or nah? Nope, she probably won't.

Sometimes she couldn't believe that she had a beautiful girlfriend. She was so beautiful that everyone adored her. Her face was hot yet cute at the same time. Scarlett stayed there and closed her eyes. After an hour or so, Anastasia stirred awake. "You're awake."

"Hmm, good morning," she said, then yawned and stretched on the bed.

"Had a good sleep?"

"Yes. did you know my mother came in here at like three in the morning then scolded me and my sisters for stuff?"

"Really?"

"Yeah. and I had a weird dream right now."

"Was it a nightmare?"

"No. I don't know what was happening, but I was a suicidal person. You murdered your assaulter, and Cassandra was a con artist. We all ran away and Cassandra found like a lot of money in the back of the car.

"We partied like a lot and then us both… we slept together, I guess? I don't know, but Cassandra was being the third wheel. The police kept chasing us but we kept running away from them and mocked them a lot.

"At the end of the dream, we all were standing at the rails of a bridge and police cars were surrounding us. Then we kept mocking them and then jumped into the water and I woke up."

"... wow are you talking about the 386 fresh MV?"

"What?"

"It's like 'F-R-E-S and H, so fresh.' something like that?"

"So that was the annoying song that I couldn't get out of my head!!"

After talking for like what seemed like hours, Anastasia's mother suddenly burst through the door. "Alright, you lazy person! You better wake up before I turn off the ventilation!"

"Mommy! Not now!" she whined.

"I don't care. Just wake up before I whoop your ass!"

"Okay, ma'am."

"I'm not talking to you, Scarlett. You can take as much time as you want to." Her demeanor completely changed towards her daughter. "Wake up now!"

"No! I don't want to!"

"I'll count to three if you don't! One, two, thr-"

"Okay, I'm up! I'm up!"

"That's what I thought. Also, breakfast is ready. I made your favorite Scarlett."

"Thank you, ma'am."

"Stop calling me ma'am. Call me mama, maa, mommy whatever. But don't call me ma'am."

"Okay, mom."

After half an hour, both of them went to where the breakfast table was in their pajamas. Scarlett was still sleepy and was leaning on Anastasia while closing her eyes. "Do you want me to pick you up?"

"No."

She rolled her eyes and picked Scarlett up like a baby. Scarlett went total koala bear and buried her face in the crook of her neck. She slightly chuckled and tightly held her thighs while walking towards the dining room.

"Oh my god! Big sister, why are you carrying her?"

"She's still sleepy, and I carried her here."

Hwei-ru frowned. "What? Then why did you not let her sleep? You can go back and put her in bed then come here by yourself, right?"

"Maa you were the one who said that-"

"Whatever, I want no arguments now so you better eat!"

"Okay geez."

"Also after this, we're going to go visit your brother and sister-in-law. She finally woke up, and I found out that we had triplets in our family."

"Triplets? What are they?"

"Zen, you got three nieces or nephews at the same time."

"What?! That's not possible." Stellamaris shouted, and Zenobia nodded.

Hwei-ru's eye twitch. "I got you two at the same time."

"Oh… sister in law must be in so much pain."

"She was fine. Just your brother kept passing out that the midwives were so done that they let him fall down then left him unconscious on the ground. The funny thing is your sister-in-law let them keep him like that since she was done."

"Big brother is weird," Stellamaris said, and everyone agreed.

Hwei-ru then remembered something. "Ah! And I forgot to tell you that your father came here a few days ago but went back, due to your punishment."

"Oh, okay." Anastasia shrugged.
