I went downstairs with a huge smile on my face, I was humming my happy song as I walk into the kitchen. Recently I've been hella happy, happy to be on my own moves! Yesterday my Grandma stopped by and gave Michael and I some homemade Chinese, my absolute favorite!

She made me a mix of Sesame and Orange Chicken shrimp fried rice and scrambled egg. She also threw me in some extra shrimp and mushrooms😌. Michael on the other hand had some General Tso chicken with shrimp fried rice with lobster sticks. He ate his yesterday but I got full

I didn't even notice Michael sitting at the island, I was too excited. Opening the fridge, I scan for the leftover Chinese Food but I didn't see it. My smile fell as I began sniffing the air, I smelled the smell of my orange and sesame chicken and slowly turn around.

"Michael Joespeh Jackson." I growl, closing my eyes, "Jayden Janelle Jackson." He mocks, "What are you eating?"

A silence fell over the room as I open my eyes, they landed on my orange and sesame chicken mix. A piece of Orange chicken was on the fork that was going into Michael's mouth, in slow-mo he bites the chicken and chews it while watching me.

"What the hell, Michael!?" I yell, "I'll buy you more." He whines, "But...but we agreed on leaving each other's food alone! You know how I feel about food, besides my Nana made it!" I huff

He only chuckles and shakes his head, "You're making a big deal out of nothing, Butterfly." I raised my eyebrow and nodded, "You think its funny? You thnk its funny, huh?" I mumble before going back in the fridge

My eyes scanned for Michael's special chocolate chip cookies that his Mom made, I found them and smirk softly because there were only 2 more left.

"Jayden what's in your hand?" He asks in a low voice, "Oh nothing." I smirk before biting into his cookies, man these were good

A sigh left his mouth as his fork hit the plate, "I know like heck you aren't eating the cookies my mother made for me." He growls, I shook my head no as I chew the cookie, this was a good cookie

I didn't even know he stood up, I was spun around to see an angry Michael, "You are eating my cookies!" He exclaims, I just shrug and bite into the last one, "And those are my last ones! Jayden!" He stomps his foot, watching me finish it up

"So you're just gonna eat the cookie in my face?!" Michael crosses his arms, I ignore him and sip my milk before wiping the milk-stash with a paper towel

"I'm sorry, what? I couldn't hear you, I was too busy enjoying those amazing cookies." I smile softly, all innocently

"You're wrong for that." He scoffs, "You started it, you ate my Chinese." I raise an eyebrow, "I can buy you more, my mother's homemade cookies can't be bought." I let out a giggle, "My Grandma's homemade Chinese can't be bought, Jackson." I wink before walking off

"Where are you going?" He yells after me, "To shower! No you're not invited!" I grin, walking into our bedroom to grab some pajamas, of course Buggs followed me
