The Story Of Us

I Can See Through His Facade Part:4

"Your great, you know that?" he said, looking me straight in the eye.

"Yup!" I smiled real big, he smiled back too.

"Umm, I don't know if y'all know this, but your big grins are scary...." Twin just ruined the moment...

"Shut up!" I said as I threw my spoon at her.

"Hey!" she yelled, then threw her spoon and my spoon at me.

"Now how will you eat your eggs?" I smiled evilly.

"I have hands!" she yelled, then started eating with her hands, she looked like a monkey...

"Your dumb." I joked, then went back to eating, finally finishing my last pancake, I looked over at Brandon and noticed he was finished.... My mouth dropped, "You ate fast..." I whispered in awe.

"I'm a growing boy!" he smiled.

"Your eighteen!" I said.

"Seventeen." he corrected me.

"Seventeen!" I yelled, correcting my mistake.

"And still growing." he smiled proudly.

"Your stupid." I said as I got up, hitting him in the head as I walked by.

"Your just full of insults today huh? First, I have no hips, then Emily's dumb, and now I'm stupid. Rude, just rude." he said pouting.

"Pouting gets you nowhere." I sang, I grabbed everyone's plates and started doing the dishes, Twin brought the kids in to go watch cartoons, and Brandon came and helped me, "So do you really think I'm amazing?" I asked, suddenly curious.

"Yeah I do." he said without hesitation, "What other person would let me bring my siblings here and spend the night, when they've only known my for a day?" he asked, looking into my eyes.

"I guess, but I don't know...." I sighed, looking down to the dishes.

"Hey," he said pulling my chin up, "Your perfect, don't doubt it." I blushed and went back to doing the dishes, he just continued helping me. I suddenly jumped at the sound of my phone singing 'Does Anybody Hear Her?' I ran to grab it and answered.

"Hello?" I asked.

"Hey honey, I was just calling to let you know they called me in to work overtime today so I won't be home until about eight." my mother said.

"Okay." I sighed, she was never home, and to tell you the truth, I missed her.

"Alright, see you then, love you, bye." she said hanging up quickly. I just shook my head and put my phone back down on the table.

"You okay?" Brandon asked.

"Yeah, my mom's just working overtime, all the time. I just kind of miss her." I sighed.

"Oh, well you got me and Emily today!" he smiled brightly.

"Emily goes home in about an hour." I said.

"Well you got me!" he smiled again, I had to keep myself from smiling back.

"Do you not plan on going home?" I asked.

"Not until we have too." he smiled and pulled me into a hug, I melted into his warm embrace and smelled him, he smelt like the green monster and chocolate axe mixed together, it was delicious.

"So what do you want to do today?" I mumbled, my head still buried in his chest.

"Well, we could go to the mall, Christmas is coming up in four weeks and I have to get them something." he said nodding towards the kids.
