I walk down the street trying to find the bakery where my sister wants me to pick something up for them. "Damn Luna and Usagi," I mutter. I kick a pebble as I walk. I text a string of curses to my sister. They reply with laughing emojis. I sigh and put my phone in my pocket. I close my eyes and take a few steps. After I take my fifth step I feel something hit my chest. Wait, no, not something, a person. I look down and a wide pair of ocean blue eyes meet mine. The woman steps back and apologizes. "Are you okay?" I ask. I notice the little girl who is holding her hand. Her cookies are on the ground. 'Ahhhh, nice going me, you made a little kid drop her cookies.' I yell at myself in my head.
The woman nods. The little girl glares at me with the same ocean blue eyes that the woman has. Maybe the woman is her mom? "I can get you some new cookies if you want." I blurt out. The woman seems confused. She looks down at the girl and then the cookies on the ground. "Oh you don-" "Yes you do!" The girl interrupts the woman. "Ellie, we can't." The woman says in a soft voice. "I don't mind, I was heading to the bakery down the street anyway. If you don't mind you can come with me and I can buy you some cookies." I say with a small smile. It always works on the women. The girl jumps up and down. The woman sighs and says, "Thank you, we will take up the offer."
I walk down the street with the girl and woman next to me. We get to the bakery and walk-in. "Oh hey Taiyo!" Ray says when she sees us walk in. Ray is one of my sister's best friends. "Hey," I say back. "You must be here for the pickup." Ray was smiling. "Yep," I say rocking on my heels. Ray goes to the back of the bakery and then comes out holding a bag. "What do you want?" I ask the girl. She looks at all the sweets on display. She points to m&m cookies with icing. "Ellie, that expensive, pick something more simple." The woman says. Ray hands me the bag. "It's okay, I have the money," I say to the woman. "Okay, only if your sure," She says quietly. I nod. "Ray, we will take three of those," I say pointing to the cookies. She nods. The woman the girl go fined a seat while Ray gets our cookies. "Hey, are you dating a mom now?" Ray asks handing me the cookies. "No, I just bumped into them and the girl's cookie fell on the ground and I felt guilty," I mutter.
I say thanks to Ray and walk over to the table where the woman and the girl are sitting. I sit down across from them. "Here," I give one to the woman than the girl. "You didn't have to get me one." The woman says. "Nah, it's okay, I wanted to," I say taking a bite of my cookie. The girl awes at how good the cookie is. "This is the best cookie I have ever had!" The girl yells. I laugh and the woman smiles a bit at the girl. "So, if you don't mind me asking what are your names?" I ask. I kinda feel stupid just calling the "the woman" and "the girl". "I'm Ellie, and this is my brother Theo." The girl Ellie says. The woman gives the girl a look. "Your brother?" I ask. "I'm sorry Theo… I didn't mean to say that," Ellie says looking down at the table. Theo sighs. "It's okay Ell, it was eventually going to happen. But yes, I am her brother, Taiyo," Theo says looking me in the eye. I gulp, those pretty ocean blue eyes that looked up at me a few minutes ago has gone a little dark. "How do you know my name?" I ask. Theo snorts. He takes a big bite of his cookie.
"I know your a popular playboy." Theo says. "Playboy? Ha, like your any better. Look at your self your dressed up as a woman." I say. He glares at me. He gets up from his chair. "I advise you don't tell anyone about this. Ellie come on we have to go." He grabs the girls hand and the walk out of the door. But before the door closes, the girl yells, "Thanks for the sweets!" I sigh and finish my cookie in confusion, how can an person like Theo, be so cute in a woman's clothes. I get up and say bye to Ray.
I open the door and Hikaru bolts down the hallway. "Hey, big guy," I say petting his head. He barks in response. I close the door behind me and walk into the living room. Hikaru follows wagging his tail. "You're here, got the goods?" Luna asks. She is laid out on the couch cuddling a pillow. "Yeah," I put the bag on the table. Usagi looks up from her phone. "You took long enough." She says. 'Ahh, these damn twins!' I bite back a comment. They get-up from their spot and rummage through the bag. I walk upstairs to my room. I fall onto my bed. My phone buzzes with notifications from my so-called 'friends'.
I look at the clock and see that it's 6 pm. I get up and rummage through the fridge downstairs. I see a bowl with a lid on it. The pink note on it catches my attention. It reads, 'Tai Hunny, dad and I are going out tonight. But I made dinner already, here is your proportion of it. Please don't get in fights with the twins while I am gone. They just got back, make them feel at home. Love Mom.' I take the bowl out of the fridge and close the fridge with my hip. I rip it open and start to eat it with a fork. Cold pasta is the best. I walk past the living room and one of my sisters tries to mess with me. "Aren't you supposed to be older than me?" I hiss at them. My 20-year-old twin sisters, Luna and Usagi laugh.
I get back to my room and sit on my bed and eat my dinner. After I'm finished eating, I take a shower. When I get out it's 7:30. Hikaru is sleeping on my bed. I carefully get in bed trying not to wake up my dog. I turn on the tv and lose myself in a show. When it's 10 pm I fall asleep. All I dream about that night is Theo in a dress. His pale figure underneath me all splayed out ready to be devoured by me. His face is covered in a crimson red. I kiss my way down his body, leaving hickeys and bite marks. He whimpers. I look up at him and see his lust-filled eyes. I go lower and lower…
"Tai!" I hear someone yell. I feel my blankets being swept off of me. The room goes silent. My eyes flutter open. I see my sisters by my bed trying to hold back their laughter. I look down and see the big tent in my pants. "SHIT!" I yell. My sisters started to laugh. I scramble out of bed and run to the bathroom. "Hey, it's perfectly normal!" Luna yells outside of the bathroom door. I can still hear them cackling. My face is red. It takes me a while to cool down before I walk out of the bathroom. My sisters are there waiting for me. Even Hikaru is there smiling at me.
"It's not what you think," I mutter walking by them. "You sure~," They say. "Yes!" I shuffle down the stairs. They follow after me, taunting along the way. I get to the kitchen. My mom is cooking and my dad is sitting at the kitchen table. "Good morning," I mumble. I pull out a chair at the table and sit down. "Good morning!" Mom says, cheery like always. "Are you okay, you seem a little red?" Dad asks. That starts Luna and Usagi off again. "What's so funny?" Mom asks turning her head to look at us. "Nothing!" I squeak. The twins get louder. I send a glare at them. I really miss them being out of the house. The only reason they are here is that Mom wanted to see all her "babies" together.
For breakfast, we have pancakes, bacon, eggs, and fruit. The standard American breakfast. I eat really fast. When I am done, I say thank you and excuse myself. I run upstairs. I can hear my sister laughing from downstairs. I close my door and slump down to the floor. 'Ahhh...' I think. I close my eyes and take a deep breath. I stand back up and start to get ready for school. I take a shower, brush my teeth, face routine, and put my clothes on. I open my door and walk downstairs. "Oh, Tai, your sisters are going to drive you to school," Mom says. I stop in my tracks. "Why?" I ask. "They said something about wanting to talk to you." She says. I sigh and calm myself down. I know better than to talk back to my mom. She might look all nice on the outside, but when she's mad, she's a devil.
I put on my shoes and grab my bag. I say goodbye to my parents and walk out the door. I get into my sister's car. "Ready to go to school?" Luna asks. She is in the passenger seat. I nod. Maybe if I don't talk they won't talk to me. Halfway through the ride, Usagi asks, "What were you dreaming about?" "How I wish you would leave," I say. "Oh, that reminds me, Ray called me last night and said you came in the bakery with a woman and a girl," Luna says. "Oho, did you really?" Usagi asks me. "Yeah, but the woman turned out to be a boy from my school," I mumble. I blush, remember the way Theo looked up at me. "Oh my god, do you like that boy!" Luna says looking at me. "I beat he was the person in his dream this morning." Usagi laughs. She stops at a red light and looks back at me. Luna does the same. I can feel my face heating up and become red. Their eyes widen and they laugh. "Oh shit, seriously?" Usagi says. I shake my head slowly. "You know you don't have to be ashamed. I'm bi and Usagi is a lesbian." Luna says. "I'm not gay, I don't like him like that, I just think he is cute," I mutter. They look at each other then turn their heads. "Sure." They say.
