Living With The Shaytards

Chapter 33: Ladylike

I opened the curtains and the windows because my room was stuffy.

I looked at Xander's window.

The curtains were closed but I hear a lot of snoring.

I notice that his window was open.

I pay attention and I hear lots of snoring. 

I realise that James is sleeping in that room too.

I walk out of my room, feeling hungry.

I walked to the kitchen and I see Mom feeding Daxton.

"Hey, sweetie. How's your sleep?"

"It's good... So what's for breakfast?"

"Breakfast?"

"Yep."

"Look at the time, honey." Mom laughed. "It's 1:32."

I looked at the clock and she was right.

"I didn't sleep late last night.."

"What time did you sleep?"

"Around 2:30."

"Jewel! That's too late!"

"It is?"

"Did you sleep this late at Lauren's house?"

"...maybe.. I'm sorry!"

"Well-"

"Well, where are my brothers and sisters?" I interrupted.

"They are out with your father going grocery shopping."

"Oh.. I'm going to Lauren's now."

"Why do you go all the time?"

"It's fun!"

"Okay bye Jewel"

+++++

I knocked on the door and rang the doorbell several times.

Xander opened the door.

He was shirtless and was wearing pajama shorts. He ruffled his messy brown hair. He yawned and then said, "Why don't you close your mouth? You're gonna catch flies."

I realized I have been gaping at his torso. I quickly covered my eyes with my hands.

"Why are you shirtless?!"

"Why? Are you turned on?" He smirked.

"Noo! Shut up!"

He laughed. "Anyways why are you here?"

"Came to see Lauren."

"She went out somewhere."

"Oh."

There was an awkward silence.

I was about to say goodbye until Xander said, "Wanna come in?"

"Sure!"

I went in headed to the kitchen.

Xander followed.

I looked in the fridge and grabbed a glass of milk.

"Why do you steal food from us? You could have asked for something to eat."

"Eh." I shrugged and I gulped down my milk.

"Girls should politely sip their drink.. not gulp it down."

I looked at Xander in the eye. "Well, I'm not that type of girl."
