“May! Hey, May are you awake? Hazel and Mauve are already digging into the pancakes. You better hurry up”
Huh? I sit up in one sudden movement. Who the fuck is in my apartment in the morning without me having invited them?
“WHO --”
“Hey hey, no shouting. You didn’t forget we had a date this afternoon, did you?
“Eh? Afternoon? Date?” I mutter all groggy from the horrible sleep gotten from the night on the sofa. Since when did I have a boyfriend? Who is even talking?
“Oh come on, get on up here with all of us, the food is waiting”
The man says cheerily as I get taken by the arm and dragged onto my feet and in the direction of what my nose tells me is great food.
Even if someone did break into my house, maybe I could just overlook it,
just this one time… I rub my eyes as to clear my sight to get a better look at what's happening. Kinda funny when thinking about my special ‘sight’.
Still, doesn't make me a fortune teller or whatever those are called.
A nice stack of pancakes was placed in front of me.
Finally getting a good look at who is here, as the man sits down to my side with the twins on the other side. As always he is an excellent cook.
Did think more than once about asking the little group to stay for dinner
- if he cooked.
The twins were as always deep in some discussion only those two knew what was about. Well, kind of a one-sided discussion knowing the shy Mauve who rarely talks. Hazel, the complete opposite but lookalike of Mauve.
Always a troublemaker, but still a very nice person.
Then we got Nathan, hell of a good cook, but better at what his well-known nickname stands for. He’s my usual choice of workforce when I got something especially irritating on my hands. Hmmm.. reminds me.
“Nathan? Got a job for you”
“I think I know it already. It’s about that ambush yesterday right?”
Being well into taking another bite I'm unable to answer back so he continues
“Of course I got time. My main job is, after all, getting your ass out of trouble”
“Haha, very funny Nathan.”
“Hey hey! Whaddabout us? Got anything for us?”
Hazel nearly shouts, with food still in the mouth.
“Hazel, you are spitting..” Mauve says while giving Hazel an elbow in the side.
“I’m partnering you up with two newbies, better show them how the city is as soon as possible. I’ll be busy digging up stuff on the ambushers, Mauve and Hazel can go along if they have nothing else to do anyway”
“Better than nothing I guess!”
“Hazel….. You are still spitting”
