*beep beep beep*

An alarm starts going off in the room. I guess Seraphina set it on my phone. I rubbed my eyes and turned off that annoying ass alarm that made me want to throw my phone out the window. I heard someone run up the stairs, obviously 'someone' being Sera.

"P-perfect. Dinner's ready right on time. Get up, lazy ass. How you feelin'? Better?" I took a corner of the blanket and threw it off of me and sat up in the bed.

"What's for dinner." My voice was raspy and had cracks in it. The 'I just woke up' voice or whatever.

She tugs my arm. "You'll have to come downstairs and see!"

I roll my eyes and let her pull me up from the bed. She let go and I followed behind her. I could smell, whatever it was that she cooked, from the stairs. "It smells amazing."

"That's 'cause it is."

I groaned at her ego. "It better be or I'm suing." I joked.

By the time we were at the end of the stairs, she put her hands over my eyed and led me to the food. She removed her hand from my eyes and I opened my eyes, seeing nothing but the food. "It's a good thing that I can see from this distance." I thought to myself.

"YUM. GIMME A PLATE OF ALL OF THIS ALREADY!" Roast chicken, baked potatoes, beans, and more. Basically a Sunday night roast on a Monday.

"Woah, calm down Ali." I rolled my eyes at the nickname since she only uses it to mock or joke about me.

She places a little bit of everything onto my plate and I sat down to devour all of it. "Wait... I just had a migraine so what's this for... WHAT DID YOU DO?!" I paused midway of putting some food in my mouth.

She sighed and sat opposite from me. "Can I not do something good for my little sister?"

I caught on to the obvious fact that she was lying. "For real? You're gonna play that card?"

She put down the piece of chicken that she was about to take and her eyes were looking straight into mine. "Fine. You caught me. Aaron proposed..."

My eyes widened in excitement and my mouth fell down to the floor. "WHAT DID YOU SAY TO HIM?"

"I said YES." A smile was glued to her face, thinking about how Aaron proposed to her. They've been a thing since forever and I ship it.

I clapped my hands in excitement. "I'm planning your wedding. What do you want the theme to be? I'll do your makeup and help you with the dress." I talked too fast.

"Slow down. We have forever to plan this." She chuckled at how I was showing more excitement than she was. "Well not forever but a long time."

We ate in silence until I realized that my question wasn't answered. "Let me get this straight... You literally showered me in 'love' to tell me that he proposed when you could've just told me out of the blue. I gotta get on your level." I finger quoted love.

She sipped on her wine. "You better get on this level." Sass drenched her sentence. "I'm just kidding."

Daredevil season 2 was playing on the T.V. Sera and I are trying to re-watch the series before season 3. "About Tom Holland... How is he in real life?" Sera didn't move her sight from the T.V..

"I didn't even know him until yesterday... I guess he's okay. BUT ZENDAYA!" I yelled, knowing Sera knows how much I love Z. "Zendaya is exactly how you'd picture her to be. Tall but sweet and hilarious as hell."

She finally moved her eyes away from the T.V. and I did the same, noticing she was looking at me. "ZENDAYA MAREE STOERMER COLEMAN?! SLAY ME!" She shared the excitement with me.

"I KNOW!"

"But seriously, about Tom. Is someone secretly falling for this guy?" Her eyebrows wiggled.

I grabbed a throw pillow from the sofa and lightly hit her with it. "Shut the fuck up. I don't even know him well."

"Tom Holland's a cutie." Sera said.

"What about Aaron? LEMME SEE THAT RING BY THE WAY." I grabbed her hand and awed at the ring. "It's perfect."

She giggled with me. "It is. Are you sure you don't have feelings for Tom?"

I rolled my eyes. "You've been trying to set me up with boys since I was born. He's just a friend and he'll stay like that."

She put her hands in the air, pretending to surrender. "Fine, fine. I'll try to contain myself this time but can I go to work with you tomorrow? I have a day off."

I sighed and nodded my head. "Don't get too cocky about this and definitely DON'T make Tom feel awkward. I swear you're gonna do it anyway."

"Yeah, yeah. Won't even hear a peep from be about the ship but it's so obvious you like him."

I rolled my eyed but she couldn't help but smile. Now, I couldn't help but smile because she was smiling. "I was thinking that the wedding theme could be light blue and yellow." I moved the topic elsewhere.

"Oooo I can totally picture that. Seriously help me with this wedding. I have no idea what to do at all. Panic mode activated."

"Okay, well, planning mode activated."

Alison resumed to watching Daredevil and so did Seraphina. Sera knew that Alison was lying or completely unaware of her own feelings but she'll leave it to play out on its own. She knew her sister well enough to know that her voice goes high pitched when she's lying or unsure of how she feels, but Sera left it be, not wanting to push Alison too much.
