Chapter 5

Has there ever been a time in your life when you have only one thing in your mind and that thing is urging you to murder someone grusomely, without thinking? Whatever it is, it's currently urging me on right now.

In a nutshell, I'm going to murder Liz

Let's start from the beginning shall we?

I was enjoying my peaceful sleep until I heard series of banging on my door, jiggling the door knob and a lot of yelling that sounded a lot like Liz.

For the first few seconds, my slightly disoriented mind was still trying to find out where I was and what the hell was going on.

The noises didn't seize of course.

I even shook my head a few times to get rid of the haze clouding my brain. It was then I realized that Liz was actually talking to me through the door and not yelling at the door like a demented Ostrich.

"Godzilla it's time for dinner! Stop acting like you are a princess you aren't and get your ass down here"

Is this broad serious. Godzilla of all things...

I practically dragged myself out of bed and forcefully yanked my door open at the same time I said-

"Wh-"

The words died in my throat because Liz fell face flat into my room, I was lucky to have quickly stepped away because she would have brought us both down. Obviously the time I pulled the door open she was leaning against it and the speed at which I opened it gave added momentum to her graceful crash.

I was stunned for a second before I felt the laughter bubble in my throat and I had to force down the dark humor.

But seeing Liz still on the floor and my brain replaying her fall was not helping matters.

Oh the joy.

It started as a snicker at first, then a chuckle and of course a hearty laughter, hard enough to push tears out of my eyes and for my strained breath to come out in gasps and snorts.

I hadn't had enough laughter but I just had to cut it short when she stood up and there was blood dripping down one of her nostrils.

Looks like I'm not going to have to murder her again.

"Are you alright?"

I asked with my hand clasped tightly behind my back so I could stop myself from repeatedly slapping it on my thigh while laughing at her down fall, and a wide grin on my face because I was doing a terrible job at reining my amusement.

"Fuck you"

With that, she spun on her heels and stormed out of my room, her hand pressed to her nose and a bruised ego.

There goes my civilization...

I manage to tune down my amusement by taking -chuckle filled- deep breaths (don't ask me how). I could still fill the chuckles rising in my throat but it wasn't as bad as when Liz was still in my room.

I eventually took time to admire the room again.

The navy blue duvet that once covered the bed without any crease was half lying on the floor and the room was considerably dark then I looked outside the balcony and noticed that the sky was a little inky.

Meaning I over slept and Liz was sent to call me for dinner (because I don't believe she would care about my wellbeing).

I reach for the hem of my shirt to pull it off my head but changed my mind and sniffed my armpit instead.

When you have been living with three boys since your grandfather died, you tend to pick up a few habits.

I walked to the bathroom to brush my teeth instead. Although I brush my teeth twice in a day I don't do the second one at night rather in the afternoon because I honestly don't get the concept of brushing your teeth at night then in the morning. Its not like I have an occultic meeting to attend to in the middle of the night or something.

But this is practically night and you attend meetings at nights though. *shrugs*

Shut up, Golden.

Golden is my subconscious, and also my middle name that is wears an explorer's hat, a coral rhinestoned evening gown and high platform spiky boots. No biggie.

I trudge down the stairs and was instantly seduced by the heavenly the smell of lasagna.

Good thing I wasn't lactose intolerant, vegetarian or vegan. I still don't know which one of the two doesn't eat meat or fish or egg or meat and fish and egg.

Or you should stop confusing yourself and go eat the goddamn dinner.

Like I said Golden, Shut. Up. Or I'll kick you out. I respond.

Seems like 'or' would be the source of our argument tonight.

You are delusional George. I'm in your mind. Golden fires back.

"Focus" I growl at myself, effectively ending the conversation as the headache began to increase tempo.

Liz was nowhere to be found although I saw Jemina in the kitchen but ignored her and took the largest spoon I could find which was a shiny ladle and took a scoop out of the pan that she just brought out of the oven. I brought the smoking goodness to my lips and began to blow air from my mouth, trying to cool it down.

I looked up and locked eyes with Jemina who was staring at me like a halfbreed orangutan she found in the zoo. I grimaced at the same time she scurried out of the kitchen.

Turn down your cave woman talent George. Save it for the eyes of Robin only.

"Where is Olivia?" I ask immediately Jemina came back to the kitchen.

"She is working overnight" came her reply

"So why are you setting the table for four?"

"Well I uh-" she cleared her throat and started to speak again but I beat her to it

"Just remove my spot, I'll eat right here"

I hopped on a stool at the island and take a huge bite from Lasagna Ladle. When I looked up to meet her eyes and I couldn't fight the blush that coated my cheeks at the look of amusement on her face as she watched me. She chuckled as she left the kitchen.

Jemina wordlessly piled my plate high and pushed it to me, I didn't forget to thank her but she looked taken aback.

Common I have manners.

She later reappeared with a little bowl of fruit salad and a glass of blue-ish liquid that had the smell of fresh blueberries.

When I had conquered my feat, I let out a loud burp and dragged myself upstairs to the bathroom room to shower because I had forgotten to do so due to the mild jet lag I experienced earlier in the day.

I dug into my knapsack and wore an over sized t-shirt and cotton boxers. When I picked up my phone and frowned when I saw seven texts from Birdie 🐦.

Georgia we need to talk.

Scratch that. We need to talk NOW!!!

Hayden, Jayden and Kayden asked for your new number and I had to give them.

Don't be mad please. They threatened to burn all my underwear 😭😭.

Please reply as soon as you see this. Love you bitch 😘.

Geeeeeorge.

*sigh* You are probably tired. Goodnight. Xoxo.

I began to hyperventilate a little. I knew she couldn't stand against those three green eyed monsters. The phone in my hand rang making me jump out of my skin and my heart slam furiously against my ribcage.

I picked up the phone and heard series of shuffling at the background then-

"Hey baby" the baritone voice drawled making me freeze I can never forget that voice in a million years.
