Akai slapped Charlotte's hands away, her cheeks burning. "Charlotte, you are a pervert," she whispered.
Charlotte's teasing tone persisted. "Are you turned on?"
"Turned on? You wish."
As they spoke, Grandma Grace arrived. "Time to head home, girls?"
"Grandma did you take your medicine?"
" Yeah..I took it on time.."
"Akai, you look flushed. Do you have a temperature?"
"Grandma, I'm responsible," Charlotte said, giggling. "I was teasing Akai, and she's embarrassed."
"Ah, perfect timing.." Mrs. Evelyn said, carrying in some juice bottles. "Juice anyone?"
"I'll pass, Evelyn," Grandma Grace said. "My throat's been bothering me."
"Then I'll take Grandma's bottle also.." Charlotte offered.
"You want to sign your own death warrant?" Akai retorted. "You're already stuffed from eating too much, and now you want two bottles of juice?"
"I can handle it," Charlotte said, rolling her eyes playfully.
