Chapter 6 - ~ SIX ~

No one's P.O.V

Sheylia suddenly feels a small vibration on her stomach. She flinches and looks down at her stomach, only to find her phone. She grabs her phone and unlocks it.

Crackhead#1💕:

Heyy I'm coming over now!!

"Huh?" She checks the time and saw that it was currently 10:25am,

"Oh my god! I totally forgot!!" She mentally slaps herself as she grabs a pair of sweats and a black hoodie, and puts them on. She gets another text,

Crackhead#1💕:

I'm hereee!!!!!

*KNOCK* *KNOCK*

Sheylia runs down the stairs, skipping the last two steps and swings the door open.

She was met with a girl smaller than her, wearing a stripped

t-shirt and sweat pants.

"Oh my god, are you okay?! Why are you out of breath?" Lara suddenly asks her cousin after seeing the state she was in.

"Me? I'm fine I just basically flew down the stairs to open the door," Sheylia answers with a small laugh, trying to regulate her breathing.

"Oh, well you look like you just finished running a marathon," Lara says as she walks into Sheylia's house, heading straight to the kitchen. Sheylia follows and gets them both some snacks.

Entering Sheylia's bedroom, Lara flops down on her bed while Sheylia places all the snacks on her nightstand, then jumps on her bed.

"So what do you want to do?" Lara asks while she opens a bag of rainbow colored gummy worms.

"Uhhmm....I'm not sure, I just thought because it was the weekend you could come over," Sheylia says as she takes a nibble out of a chocolate chip cookie.

"Well...Oh! There is this cute little cafe that just opened. It might be a bit of a walk but I promise it will be worth it," Lara smiles excitedly.

"Oh sure, that sounds like fun and I haven't been to a cafe in sooo long. I just have to let my mom know," Sheylia says while pulling out her phone and texting her mother. "She said I can go, um..do you want to borrow a sweater just in case it gets a bit cold?" She asks the younger.

"Sure," Lara says while taking a pink hoodie out of her older cousin's closet. They both exit the house and make their way to the new cafe. As they are walking a strong breeze smacks them in the face, especially Lara, who quickly puts her hands to her waist and unties the hoodie, then puts it over her head. Sheylia giggles,

"Hey, good thing I suggested for you to bring one of my hoodies!"

"Yeah, thanks," Lara says while snuggling into the hoodie, warming herself back up again. After a bit they get surrounded by cars and big buildings.

"You know where we are going, correct? Sheylia asks, just making sure.

"Yes, don't worry!" Lara chuckled. With Lara leading them, they turned a few corners, crossed a few streets. Then finally, they both saw a big sign across the street they were on. It read, The Coffee House, in big bright letters. The two girls look at each other with excitement, and enter the cafe.

After finally finding a free table, they sit down and decide what to order.

"I think I'm going to get a slice of carrot cake and a vanilla milkshake, what are you going to get?" Sheylia says while placing the menu flat on the table.

"I'm going to get a slice of raspberry ice cream cake and a chocolate milk," Lara says while licking her lips, her mouth already watering just by saying what she is going to eat. A few minutes after telling the waitress their orders, she came back with their dishes. Both girls faces light up by seeing the tasty food in front of them.

"Mmmm..oh my god you HAVE to try this!" Lara says while shoving a forkful of cake in front of Sheylia's mouth, indicting that she wants to feed her. Sheylia tries Lara's cake and gives her cousin a big eye smile.

"Try my milkshake!" Sheylia happily says to Lara. She watches her cousin take a sip. Lara's eyes widen by the flavor.

"Are you sure that's just a vanilla milkshake because it tastes soo good!" Lara exlaimes. After finishing their last bites Sheylia checks the time, 12:57pm.

"Are you ready?" Sheylia asks,

"Yep!" Lara answers. After paying for their food they start making their way back home.

On their way home they were cracking jokes and scream laughing down the streets.

After about an hour of walking they arrived at Sheylia's house. Taking their shoes off at the door, they go up to Sheylia's bedroom.

Currently 2:02pm,

"Do you want to watch movies till supper?" The older asks Lara,

"Sure I'm kind of tired from all the walking," Lara replies, making herself comfy on her cousins bed. After watching two movies they get called down for supper. When Sheylia enters the kitchen, she sees Lyde sitting beside her older brothers. He looks up and immediately locks his dark orbs onto her. The two girls sit down and begin eating their food. Sheylia starts feeling uncomfortable, resulting in her constantly shifting her weight to different sides of her chair. She tries to distract herself with her food but just ends up finishing her supper before anyone else. She can feel him looking at her, his stare burning holes through her body. She glances at him and they both make eye contact, then Sheylia quickly looks away before Lyde does. She impatiently waits for Lara to finish her supper, wanting to get out of here as soon as possible.

Finally Lara finishes her food. Sheylia basically pushes her cousin out of her chair. Before leaving the kitchen Sheylia looks at Lyde and is met with his eyes right on her, looking as if he is going to kill her any second. She leaves the room, and heads upstairs.

The two girls are currently picking another movie to watch,

"Do you just want to stay the night?" Sheylia asks her cousin,

"Sure it's getting dark anyways, and my mom doesn't like me walking alone in the dark," Lara says as she flicks through different movies.

"Okay, and do you know why Lyde is here?" The older girl asks while repositioning herself on her bed.

"No but he probably just wanted to hangout with your brothers. He must've came over when we were at the cafe, eating delicious food!!" Lara happily says while remembering the cafe.

Sheylia giggles,

"Have you chosen a movie yet?" She asks,

"Yep I have just finished choosing!" Lara replies, Sheylia looks at the tv and sees that they are going to be watching a movie called 47 Meters Down.

Suddenly they both get scared and jump by a jump scare, laughing a few seconds after, then focusing on the movie again.

Lara yawns which ended up making Sheylia yawn as well.

"Do you have any spare pyjamas I could borrow for the night?' Lara asks. Sheylia gets up and walks to her dresser and pulls open her pyjama drawer. Throwing some pyjamas at her cousin, they both start changing their clothes. Sheylia grabs a packet of gummies and rips it open.

"Put them between us, so we can share," Lara says. Sheylia places the bag if gummies between them, but not before she grabs herself a big handful.

"Hey! That was just rude!" Lara yells with a pout. Sheylia laughs, almost choking on her gummy.

"Yeah you better choke!" Lara jokingly says with her mouth full of gummies. Earning a slap on the arm from her cousin.

"Oww!!" Lara dramatically yells while holding her 'injured' arm,

"Yeah that's what I thought," Sheylia says with a smug look on her face.

After they both finished bickering with each other, they decided to try and get some sleep.
