Chapter 8 - Glazed windows glowing in the moonlight

The wind was beating hard against our faces. I decided to remove Lilian's crack, when he opened his eyes he had a big surprise, we were on the roof.

- Natasha what is this?

- A picnic early in the morning, did you like it? - asked Natasha

- I loved it. - said Lilian

There were two chairs facing the sky, we took the sandwiches, juices and fruits. We wait for the sun to rise.

- It's so beautiful - said Lilian eating the sandwich

- Magnifico - I reply

- Where did you get that idea? - asked Lilian

- I came here with Andrew, and I'm thinking of bringing you here. - said Natasha

We talked and after a few hours I turned around and realized that someone had already woken up. It was the neighbor next door, putting out the trash, she waved at us,

- Very nice - said Lilian waving back

- A good lady - said Natasha

- I think the boys woke up - said Lilian

- The joy was short lived - said Natasha smiling

We went down and went through the dark attic and arrived in the living room, to our surprise Liam watched cartoons eating cereal in his pajamas, a white shirt with a dinosaur and green pants.

- Nice pajamas - said Natasha

- Very funny - said Liam - Where were the ladies?

- In a secret place, but you won't know - said Lilian

"Well, I'm going to have to make you speak on the basis of an avalanche of tickles, " said Liam

- No Liam, please. said Lilian being suspended by Liam and making her smile out loud.

"I see everyone's awake already, " said Andrew.

"Today we're going to the mall, " said Liam.

In the mall there were few people, which facilitated access to fast food stores, cinema. The fours took advantage, the time seemed to have no end.

- Something tells me that, we should go home. - said Andrew

- Andrew, did something go wrong? - asked Natasha

"Just a hunch , " Andrew replied.

"Don't mind, " said Liam

"It's silly, " said Andrew.

- Is anyone hungry? - asked Lilian

- Me - replied Natasha

"Me here, " said Liam.

"I am too," said Andrew, trying to pretend excitement.

We waited for about fifteen minutes, until the cashier said:

- Well - welcome! What are they gonna order?

- Hi, four cheese bu rgers, soft drinks and potatoes - Natasha replied

- Okay, wait a minute - said the attendant

Liam said he was going to buy something, but I didn't pay attention to what it was. I just saw him turn the corner and disappear into the crowd.

- Ready , your order is complete - said the clerk

Natasha thanked and took the tray to the table, it didn't take long for Liam to appear.

- Potatoes! - said Liam excitedly

- It's my impression or when it comes to food, you magically appear - said Lilian

"It's not my fault, " said Liam with a shrug.

- Enough talk, let's eat - said Andrew hugging Lilian

- I agree. - said Natasha

Lilian, Natasha, Andrew and Lilian finished eating their snacks excitedly.

- Now that we're done can we go? - asked Andrew

- Yes, we can - replied Lilian

Upon leaving the mall, Lilian noted that the asphalt was wet.

- Wow I didn't realize it rained - said Natasha

- We lost track when we entered here - said Lilian

We arrived and found the house all overturned. We got the biggest scare. What to think?. Did they take anything, did they leave?

So many questions do not answer. Andrew was tense and stayed on the stairs, meanwhile Liam went to check the rooms, Lilian the kitchen.

- Wait! - I shouted

- What? - asked Andrew surprised

- Listen, if we were robbed we have to search the whole house, and call the police.

"We can't," said Liam.

- How can I not? - asked Natasha

- The cops are going to ask about our parents. What are we going to answer? Ah, our mother is traveling and our father is dead. said Liam

- You're right - Natasha replied

- I didn't find anything - said Lilian

"Not either," said Liam.

Natasha went up the stairs, in the small corridor that separates the rooms, there was an envelope on the floor. Very curious she went down and went to warn the others.

- I found that letter - said Natasha

- Read. said Lilian

- "Children I know what the days are going by fast and you are very busy. But I wonder if they can come and pick us up at the airport the day after tomorrow?

Love mom and dad ". said Natasha reading the letter

- They're coming back - Lilian vibrated

- The letter seems strange to me - said Natasha

- You think? It's a relief to me - Liam joked

"That's something to be said, " said Andrew.

"It was just a joke," said Liam.

- Everything has time, and now is not the time to play - said Lilian

"I already apologized," said Liam.

- The important thing is the communication of our parents with us - said Natasha distressed

"Now we have to clean up this mess, " said Andrew

"You guys," said Liam.

- We all - said Natasha

- Okay, "we" are going to organize - said Liam

We spent a good part of the time reorganizing the entire house, we were exhausted.

- I'm tired - said Lilian leaning on the wall

- I'm tired - said Liam lying on the floor

- Come on, just a little - I encouraged

- Say that to my legs and back. He said Liam queixando- up

- Blah blah. You only know how to complain - said Andrew

"It may be , but at least I'm a realist," said Liam

- No more discussions, we have to come together. - said Lilian

"Nice words," said Liam.

- Thank you - said Lilian

- Well, Andrew and Lilian search the upstairs, check if they took anything or left. Meanwhile, Liam and I finished the rest.

- Do you have a hunch? - asked Liam

- No, and you? - asked Natasha

"Not yet, but I'll find out," said Liam confidently.

- What the hell , are you willing to look for - said Natasha

- I'm in a great mood. Don't screw it up - said Liam

- It was taking too long. said Natasha rolling her eyes

The two take some papers and packages scattered around the house and put everything in a box, while Andrew and Lilian arranged the rest of the floor.

- I can ask you a question? - asked Liam

- Yes, as long as it's not silly - said Natasha

- You have no sense of humor? - asked Liam

- I have, only the things that are really funny . - said Natasha

- Girl without humor, how do you live? - asked Liam

- Like other people - said Natasha smiling

"That's why I like you, you're not afraid to say what you think," said Liam

- And why would I be afraid? - asked Natasha

"For several reasons," said Liam

- Say them. said Natasha

- 1) Not everyone likes sincere people

2) Become vulnerable

3) Everyone ends up moving away from you. said Liam

- Anyway, one day you realize that only special people mean in your life. And they are the ones that should be a priority and worthy of your infinite love - said Natasha

"Very well," said Liam

- I don't understand - said Natasha

"You are a box of surprises, sometimes cold and gross, once intellectual and loving," said Liam

- People don't see labels, like computers or electronics with a manual saying, what they have and what they don't have. We all have the right to feel and express what we understand - said Natasha

"That's right," said Liam.

- We didn't find anything - said Lilian and Andrew
