Carla: Good morning, pumpkin eaters
I said, Watching my mom come downstairs to the kitchen.
Mom: Um, good morning; you are up early
Carla: At 6 o'clock to be exact.
Mom: What for?
She said while picking up a piece of bacon freshly made.
Carla: To cook breakfast, of course.
Mom: You're in a happy mood.
Carla: Birds are chirping about me having a boyfriend. Thee boyfriend... Ahhh, life is beautiful.
My mom laughed as my Dad joined us for breakfast.
Dad: What's all this?
Speaking of the pancakes, French toast, sausages, bacon, and orange juice on the table.
Carla: The orange is freshly squeezed to Dad. The sugar is on the side if you want some.
While pointing at the table.
Dad: Don't mind if I do.
Mom: Do you understand this?
My mom said frighteningly
.
Dad: Yup, she got a boyfriend, Which gives me breakfast.
He said casually.
Mom: I need your help at the shop today, honey. Some Marchant is coming with some more medicinal herb for me; I'll have to pick them up; I was hoping you could stay at the shop until I get back?
Carla: Sure, mom. Would I be back before 12 pm?
Mom: Maybe.
Carla: I'll take that maybe and bet a definitely?
I said with puppy dog eyes.
Mom: Honestly, why are you talking like that?
Carla: Maybe it's because I have a boyfriend!!!
I said, hitting a high note like I was in the operas. My Dad had already finished one plate and was going for seconds. I had eaten already, waiting for them to get up, and seeing their facial expression was Worth it. I took a bath and headed out with my mom. Her shop looked like an archaic store full of ancient things that she believes have healing qualities. She left me alone in the shop, Humming the "I have a boyfriend" song I made up this morning.

I could smell smoke; where was it coming from? was the house on fire? I quickly ran downstairs without thinking, my Dad burning pancakes as usual.
Dad: I know the good smell of food would bring you down.
He said with a slight grin.
Johny: Yup, along with the smell of death.
I said sarcastically with a loud laugh. I went back upstairs; I did not intend to wake up soo early, it's Saturday, and it's 8:30. But I decided to go to the bathroom and prepare for the day. Walking back downstairs, I saw my sister's supportive facial expression.
Dad: Give me your honest opinion, guys
Sarah: About the pancakes?
Dad: Yes, of course.
I didn't mean for it to come out harshly, but I had to ask.
Johny: It's Saturday, don't you have work?
Dad: Well, your mom and I have been talking; spending the week with you guys helped us realize if we never became doctors, there would still be patients, yet, if we never became parents, you guys would not exist, soo am working on getting my two days off but for now since they are working on the schedule I have taken Saturday off permanently and your mom has taken Sunday until they get doctors to replace us on the weekends. Soon we both will be off weekends.
Johny: Oh.
Sarah: You know what would go well with the pancakes?
Dad: What?
Sarah: French toast and eggs, you sir, sit tight. I'll make some.
I could tell is because his pancakes were all burnt and crisp. In no time at all, she had the French toast with eggs ready.
Dad: Yup, those pancakes were deadly, huh?
He said, ears turning red. We all laughed and nodded in agreement; Dad threw out the pancakes.
Johny: So, do you care for a little game, old man?
Dad: You don't want some of this, trust me!
Johny: You're right; you might make the basketball court a little dusty due to your skills.
Sarah busts out laughing, saying, "oh no, he didn't?"
Johny: Yes, I did, yes, I did!
Dad: You're on!
Johny: Bring it!
Back then, Pop and I always had time to play sports. He was soo busy that we hadn't been able to catch up. I am not so good with sentimental stuff, but I think He got I wanted to spend some time with him.

I wish my mom would hurry up. I want to go see my boyfriend. He probably looks so cute today, with his hazel eyes piercing through my existence.
Mom: Sorry for the wait, honey.
She said as she walked inside the store.
Mom: Jessica should be here soon, then we can go home.
Ever since my mom hired some extra help in the store, she spent half a day and then went home to mix the medicine. My Dad was still 9 to 5. After a while, Jessica came in, ready to start her shift, my mom smiled, and we were off.
Mom: Your birthday is coming up; I know you don't like celebrating but do you want anything?
Carla: Yes.
I said without hesitation. My mom looks at me in surprise. Usually, I'll say, "nothing in particular anything you give me will be fine."
Mom: What do you want?
Carla: An cell phone?
Mom: o `h, okay, I think me and your father could arrange that.
She said with a smile. In no time at all, we were home.
I rushed upstairs to wear something more feminine. Aggravated, everything I had was either shorts, hoodies, jackets, or joggers. "ugh," I thought.
Carla: Mom, since you are home, can you take me to the clothing store?
My mom's eyes widened. Usually, she would offer, and I would quickly dismiss it, saying, "what's wrong with my clothes? They are fine."
Mom: Let's go right now.
I hesitated; I knew that Johny might be missing His girlfriend. But I wanted to look like a girlfriend, not one of his boys. So I agreed. Instead of the little boutique, I suggested, my mother took me to the mall. "sigh," it was 12:30 now, so I figured it's fine. If I see him at one or maybe 1:30, we would still have a lot of time to spend together before it gets dark.
##Johny##
I went outside to get everything ready for the basketball game. I wonder where Carla is right now? I was sure she would have been visiting my sister already; now that we are a thing, I thought she would want to see me? I wonder if she changed her mind about us?
Sarah: Hey
My sister interrupted my thoughts?
Johny: Oh, hey.
Sarah: How was the date?
Johny: It was good.
Sarah: Did you guys make it official, or were you too scared to seal the deal?
She said with a teasing tone.
Johny: You Got Jokes! But no, I sealed the deal. It almost didn't happen, though.
She looks confused
Sarah: What did you do?
Johny: Not me, Stephanie's crazy self.
She laughed.
Johny: She pulled Me into the bathroom and held me captive, then Carla came in seeing Stephanie kissing me.
Sarah: Awwww
Johny: Right?
Sarah: But you fixed it, right?
She said with a serious tone.
Johny: Yeah, I fix it, princess, don't worry.
Sarah: Yeah.
Johny: I think I know what I want for my birthday
Sarah: What?
Johny: Cell phone
Sarah: Yeah
Johny: Cause summertime is almost here, I want to ensure she's okay.
In the summertime, we would pretend to sign up for summer camp, but we would go home for the summer. There is only one more month left of school, and I'll be gone for three months, and I won't have time with her like that.
Sarah: You let me worry about that young prince.
Johny: What are you going to do?
Sarah: I am your guardian.
Johny: That's not an answer.
She smiled, heading back inside. I continued what I was doing until.
Deon: Hey
Johny: Wadup!!
Deon: Nothing much. How was walking her home?
Johny: Pretty good, We're dating now, so that's good.
Deon: Just a walk? Dam, why didn't I think of that?
I dryly laughed. I didn't find it funny that he still thinks he has a chance with my future wife.
Johny: I took her to dinner.
Deon: Which restaurant?
Johny: Down by 14th Street
Deon: The one that just opened a year ago?
Johny: Yeah.
Deon started to help me tidy up the court as we were talking. He was a good friend, He listened, and his intentions were never hard to read. After a while, my Dad came out with some ridiculous shorts and a white tank top.
Johny: Why are you dressed like that old man?
Deon was laughing soo hard he made no sound.
Dad: Don't be jealous; this is what a basketball player supposes to look like.
Johny: Yeah, maybe in the 1890s
My boys were coming one by one. Everyone laughed seeing my Dad's shorts. I miss that; He was always stressed out by work. After my mom passed away in a car accident, He was devastated. He dived into his work. He came from a general family doctor to a surgeon. But I think He was trying to escape from thinking. I had just turned 3. He did not know how to take care of a child; my mother was a stay-at-home mom. Then He met Sarah's mom "Deborah" who had a daughter two years younger than me. Imagine me telling the king of Instalaxia" my mother Was no longer alive. He had to find another alternative for Sarah's mother:" In actuality, my Mom and Dad were supposed to be good friends, not lovers. The original "Sarah" suffered from heart failure, thus why the mother became a heart surgeon to keep her child alive. Her heart was too weak, so the original Sarah died; queen mother took the opportunity to put My sister's life force in Sarah's lifeless body, curing every illness the previous host had. She thought no mother should have to bury their child. That's how me and Sarah got here, we were supposed to be blood-related, but things happened. "Finally," I thought, the court was ready.
Johny: You ready old man?
Dad: Don't worry, son; after this, we can go get some ice cream. Am sure that will take your mind off the humiliation you are about to endure!

Mom: Ouhhh, let's check there
Carla: Mom is 4 pm. Can we please go?
Mom: Are you sure you don't want to go check out the new cell phone they may have?
My eyes widened at the thought that me and Johny could talk all the time. I was very selective, plus I wanted something cute. I picked the pink one, still surprised my mother got it for me.
Carla: Mom, can I please go home now. I have people to see; oh, I wonder if he'll kiss me today?
Mom: Ewww
Carla: Oh, mom, grow up.
We both laughed. She agrees to bring me home. When I got home, I ran upstairs to change clothes. I decided to put on this platted mini skirt with a white tank top.
Dad: Where are you going?
Stopping me in my tract from going out the door.
Mom: It is a little late; although your Dad won't let you go out, how about you call him on your cell phone?
Carla: Okay, mom.
I quickly ran upstairs and called him on their house phone.
Johny's Dad: hello
Carla: Good evening, Mr. Carl. Is Johny home?
Carl: Yes, I'll bring him the phone.
The Robinsons had a wireless home phone.
Johny: Hello?
Carla: Hey
Johny: Carla?
Carla: Yeah, I got a new phone.
Johny: Oh, I didn't see you today; I thought you were avoiding me or something?
Carla: Why would I avoid you? I was with my mom all day.
Johny: Ahh, I see
Carla: Soo, how was your day?
Johny: I played my Dad in basketball ball
I started to laugh, knowing.
Carla: You lost, huh?
I said, continuing to laugh.
Johny: There is nothing funny about losing to a man in ridiculous shorts.
I laughed soo hard that I thought my stomach was going to burst.
Johny: You missed me today?
I didn't know what to say; He caught me off guard.
Johny: It's okay if you didn't.
Carla: I missed you; I wasn't sure if you missed me since you had such an eventful day.
I teased
Johny: Eventful day or not, I will always miss your presence, my queen.
"Ouhh, what is this boy doing to me? with words alone, He causes me to melt." I thought to myself. We talked some more, and after 15 minutes, He mentioned the phone was dying and that we would talk tomorrow, I did not want to hang up, but I agreed. We said goodnight; that was that.
##Johny##
"Oh, Carla, you don't know how bad I wanted to kiss you today, for you to turn red like a tomato, my sweet little tomato."
Sarah: Fantasizing young prince?
Johny: It's rude not to knock.
Sarah: king said, "you can stay for the summer to strengthen your relationship with Carla."
Johny: Okay
Trying to Hide in my happiness.
Sarah: You wasted soo many years on Stephanie; imagine if you had agreed to Carla, ya'll would have been far.
Johny: Thank you, if there is nothing else?
I said, pointing at the door.
She left my mind racing. "What if I weren't stubborn? Then I would of known Carla so much better. Just the thought of getting close to her had my body all hot. She was soo innocent I did not want to ruin that. I have made up my mind to wait until our wedding night. She's worth the wait.
