Double Trouble

Chapter 39

Neliono

It's shortly before 6 p.m.. The half hour is over and our family expects us to be down in three minutes. Surprisingly my mood is okay, nearly happy. I really don't know why, because everything of today is horrible. The stress, the family meeting and now the restaurant visit, which is, by the way, our restaurant, so at least the chef there is known about our faces. It will be interesting and I just really hope that no unexpected interruption like fans happened.But the first step is going down. I'm ready. Li ... I don't know. She's running around, from my room to her room and back to my room, like somebody got sting by a bee. "Ya okay?" I ask chuckling slightly and lean against the doorframe watching her amused. 

Her ADHD is getting worse. Not only because it's evening, more because of all the stress, changes and few sleep in the last day. Standing still for her is not possible at the moment. "Wether I'm okay? Really?! Maaaan. What do I need ..." She's standing in the hallway for like 2 second before running suddenly in the direction of her closet. "Shoes! I need shoes!" I shake my head at her forgetfulness. How can somebody so clever be so forgetful? She comes back, running and sit down on one chair to put on her shoes. 

"ARGGGGGGH!" 

"What's wrong now?" I ask her confused. "My hair." She whines. "What's wrong with them?" I don't get an answer. She's too hyper focused on tying her shoes. "Li, what's wrong with your hair?" 

"They are everywhere but not where I want them to be. I just want them TO STAY BEHIND MY EARS!" You have to stay calm when she gets nervous or stressed, even if it's difficult. But she needs in this moments a calm source and clear testifies. While shaking my head, I walk towards her and kneel down. Look into her eyes. "Do you want me to braid them later?" She looks at me, sighs and finally nods her head slightly. I smile at her and tie her shoes to the end. "C'mon let's go down. They probably already miss you."

"I miss me too. My charm, sarcasm and friendliness is just unplaceable."

"I hate this smile."

"I really don't know what you mean ..." She whistles sending me this sheepish smile again. I roll my eyes and shut the door behind her. Damn she's annoying. 

There was a few seconds silence between us, before Li suddenly speaks up again. "Do you know that 'Bluetooth' is named after the danish viking - king Harald Blauzahn." What the fuck- How did she comes to this fact? She seems to notice my confusion but interpret it the wrong way."Crazy, right? Image you're just a little king wanting to have honor and years after you're already dead, somebody has to much boringness and named a fucking funk standard after you. Hahaha!"

"Very funny, very funny ..."

"Oh c'mon. It IS funny. By the way-"

"No, no, no! No more fun facts. Please- please let's just go down the stairs, okay?" - I rush the stairs down to prevent her from saying anything more. Her thinking ways are a bit ... strange. 

"Pff, you're a traitor ..." She huffs and sits herself down on the stairs only to slide them down. Uh, I-I cannot do this anymore. Why can't she just act like a normal fourteen years old one?! I shake my hand a cover my head with my hands. She's really something else with all her strange habits. A "what?" comes suddenly from my left ear, makes me jump up a bit. "Argggh, damn Li! How many times I've already told you- Okay, ya know what? Forget it. Forget it, I'm done." I begin to walk off, to the living room. Don't really care wether she's coming too or not. "Do what ever you want. But I won't be the one coming for you when you're hurt."

"That would be failure to provide assistance and THIS is in contrary to official insult a crime." This makes me stop. 

"Wait, that's no crime? But-" I was about to say more, but am interrupt by glasses guy aka Fidelio. Oh right, we arrived in the living room and have now everyones attention. But, at the moment, I couldn't care less, too confused about what Li said. "What's no crime?"
