“So, how’s preparation for your final exams?” Elvira mouths at Damon, who is now, 16. She raises her left brow and backs her attention to the plate of pancakes in front of her.
“Fine mum. Everything is going well.” He replied, not wanting to show weakness in front of Ava Dior, his younger sister who is now 10 years old.
“Good.” She smiled and continued eating. Peering at Ava with the corner of his eyes, he couldn’t help but to feel her intent stare against him. Her large blue eyes focused on his direction. For some reasons, Ava is shy around Damon. She wanted to ask about something important, but she fears being rejected.
‘What if he says no?’ she asked herself while glaring at him.
“Is there something you want?” Damon asked before turning to her.
“No... Nothing.” She spun away and bend her head to avoid his eye contact. A realization of being caught came up to her. Damon rolled his eyes and pulled away from the dining table, disgusted.
“But where are you going?” Elvira asked worriedly.
“To study, mum. I’d be down in the evening. Don’t bother knocking on my door.”
“But you just started eating.”
“I’ve lost my appetite.” He looked away and walked into his room.
“Should I come and help you with studying?” she inquired.
‘Boom!’
The door slam replied her question. Ava and Jeremy turned to Elvira with raised eyebrows.
“You worry too much, Wifey. Leave Damon alone. He can take care of himself.” Jeremy stated.
“I’m just concerned.” She whined at her husband and continued eating. Just then, she realized the smuggle look in her daughter’s eyes. “Is anything the problem, Ava?”
“I need help with my upcoming exams. I wish Damon would help me through.”
“Aww! You know how your brother is. He’d always find an excuse, but don’t worry. I’d help you with studies after gardening. You can join me so I can finish up early.” Elvira folded her lips together with a smile.
“Okay mummy. Thanks.” Ava faked a smile, knowing her mum was trying her best. She just wished Damon would have been a better brother than he was.
After breakfast, Elvira and Ava washed the dishes while Jeremy went to prepare a business proposal he was supposed to submit by the end of the month. After doing the dishes, Elvira and her daughter went for gardening outside the house.
Damon was trying to concentrate when a disturbing noise distracted him. It was from Ava. He walked towards the window with seriousness in his eyes. Damon lifted the white curtains with narrow eyes and peeped to see what was happening.
“Come here, Ava Dior!” Elvira shrieked while she turned the running pipe towards her daughter.
“No, mum.” A wide smile spread across Ava’s pretty face as her ocean blue eyes lit up towards her mum. She giggled. “I was just wondering if you could teach me how to bake! I said please!”
“And I told you no! Not until you clock twelve. You’re too young for these. Perhaps, focus more on your studies.” Elvira pressed.
“Okay, mum.” Ava replied and moved closer. “Don’t spray water on me again. It’s cold.”
The morning breeze blew up her jet black hair as she abruptly tugged it behind her standing ears.
Elvira couldn’t help but to chuckle at Ava Dior. She’s so matured minded even at a very young age.
