Chapter 79
“Bless you.” I say instantly.
“I was blessed the first time I laid my eyes on you.” He states.
“You hated me.”
“I still thought you were hot.”
-Third Person-
Noah yawns as he tiredly unlocks the door and walks into the house at the asscrack of dawn.
He shuts and locks the door before making his way to the living room and examining the sight in front of him.
Scrabble pieces are strewn all over the place with the game board lying a few feet away. The coffee table is a mess of empty pizza boxes and empty soda bottles along with a half eaten bowl of popcorn. Adonis and Octavia are curled up on opposite ends of the couch while Flynn is practically lying on top of Winnie.
Noah blinks before walking over and kicking Flynn’s foot.
“No, Mr Bunny, I don’t like sea donkeys!” Flynn mumbles out in his sleep, swatting the air with his hand.
Noah stares down at him blankly before turning around and trudging to the stairs.
“It’s too early for this.” He mumbles as he drags himself up each step. “I still hate that kid.”
Winnie
A groan emits from my mouth as I yawn, pushing Flynn off me, resulting in him hitting the floor with a thump and stirring for
bit before snores start leaving him again.
I stand up and stretch, scratching my ass -yes my ass. Let’s not act like I had any shame in the first place- as I trudge into the
kitchen.
I fix the coffee maker to boil a pot of black coffee before getting started on some eggs and bacon for dad, knowing he had a damn long shift last night. Yes, I washed my hands. Adonis, Flynn and Octavia can find their own breakfast. I’m probably just going to eat some cold leftover pizza.
I pour the scrambled eggs onto a plate before arranging four slices of bacon in a smiley face.
I chuckle to myself as I rip up another slice of bacon and put them at the top of the plate, coming out of the eggs, making them
look like devil horns.
“Huh, looks just like Ben.” I mumble to myself, thinking of Uncle Danny’s little demon spawn of a child.
I pour myself a cup of coffee before taking a seat at the kitchen island just as Octavia walks.
“Morning, prick.” She yawns, pouring herself a cup of coffee also.
“Kia Ora, assclown.” I grin goofily, making her roll her eyes at me before looking down at their plate.
“Huh, looks just like Ben.” She notes. “This dad’s?”

“Yeah.” I nod. “And right? That’s what I said.”
“How old is that kid now anyway?” She questions, coming to lean on the island across from me.
I shrug, taking another sip of my coffee. “I don’t know, like four? Five?”
“He’s nine.” We hear dad say as he walks into the kitchen, fully dressed for the day, and pours himself a cup of coffee before turning around and leaning back on the counter next to the coffee maker. “How do you not know how old your cousin is?”
“Give me a break, he’s like two feet tall!” I exclaim.
“He’s four feet, three inches.” Octavia says, pouring herself another cup of coffee.
“How do you know how tall he is but not how old he is?” I furrow my eyebrows. “And that’s your fourth cup of coffee in the last seven minutes. Stop it.”
“Told you she’s a coffee addict.” Flynn tells Adonis as the two of them stumble into the kitchen, half asleep. Adonis mumbles incoherently in reply.
“Hey, guys? When was the war of 1812?” Adonis asks tiredly, rubbing his eye.
Everyone stares at him.
“I hope you’re kidding, because if you’re not, you’re really fucking stupid.” Flynn states after a while.
Dad raises an eyebrow before grabbing another mug and pouring coffee in it, handing it to Adonis.
“Here, son. You look like you need this.” He states and Adonis mumbles a quick thanks as he takes it. Dad then grabs his car keys from the key bowl on a shelf next to the pantry and starts walking out. “Max somehow convinced Dylan and I to go back to this old campsite with him and mark out where to walk. I’ll be back later.”
“If I punch myself and it hurts, am I weak or strong?” Flynn asks after dad leaves.
“You are weak.” Adonis mutters, taking a sip of his coffee.
“You are strong.” Octavia shrugs.
“You are stupid.” I scoff, finishing my coffee just as my phone rings.
I answer without looking at the caller id.
“Ms Cheryl’s, home of the strippers and hookers!” I speak cheerfully. “Press one to hire a stripper, press two to hire a hooker, press three-”
“Windora Nevaeh!”
My eyes widen in panic when dad’s voice comes from the other end of the line.
“Press three to ignore everything your dumbass daughter just said and move on.” I say quickly. “What’s up, daddio?”
“I forgot to tell you and your sister before I left, but I told Danny that you two would baby sit Ben today.”
“That little shi-”
“Do you want me to forget everything you just said?”
