The following morning, I get up before my alarm goes off and go to the bathroom to shower. I stay there until I finish my shower.
Once I have finished showering, I like to put a towel over my head and another around my body. After entering my bedroom, I go to the chest of drawers and go there.
I remove my underpants when the door to my room opens, and Melvin enters.
Melvin stops moving, and his eyes search my entire body.
A towel is wrapped around me, so at least that's something. If I were to be naked, I would be horrified to watch what would happen.
"Can I help you, Melvin?"
One of his eyes is fixed on mine. "I was wondering when you needed me for the photo shoot at the office?"
"Today, you ought to come in with me," I said. We want to do some photo sessions together.
He breaks into a broad grin before his eyes. Are you interested in determining whether or not we would look fantastic together in a spread? Maybe we could do that..."
We took a naked photo together.
After I had finished his thought, I proceeded to toss a shoe at him. "That's not going to happen, Melvin."
Towards me, he strides over. "You never know, sweetheart." Melvin kissed me on the crown of my head. "Get dressed as quickly as possible. The last thing I want is for your breakfast to become cold. He exits my room and walks away.
I dressed in a black halter dress and underpants that matched each other.
At the moment, I need to dress up for work.
The word "Seraphina" appears on the screen as my phone vibrates on the nightstand.
What does she want? She never calls me.
I picked up the phone and answered it.
Me: Greetings, Seraphina.
Seraphina: Are you going to be coming to the office today?
Me: Yes, I am.
Seraphina: That's fantastic! Would your siblings and fiancé be willing to participate in a picture session with you? I want to begin working on the magazine.
I'll call her once I finish my breakfast. They will arrive at the office at 10 o'clock.
Seraphina: Wait for us then.
I hang up the phone and proceed to the dining room, which is located downstairs.
Pancakes, bacon, eggs, hash browns, and toast are all arranged on a dish on the table.
I am the focus of Melvin's attention. "I didn't know what you'd like, so I made everything."
I chuckle to myself. It is clear to you, Melvin, what I enjoy. The question is, "Why did you make such a large quantity of food?"
Someone knocks on the front door.
"I'll get it," Melvin proclaims as he approaches the entrance. When he opens the door for them, I can hear my brother and sister's voices as they enter the house.
At least I won't have to phone them to let them know I'll be at the office at 10 o'clock.
After entering the dining area, they help themselves with the available food.
I turn my gaze to my siblings. Your photo shoot is scheduled for today. My supervisor called not too long ago, and she wants you to be in the office at 10 o'clock.
Alanie hugs me as he approaches me. I can't wait to try on some Miller clothing. Although I have admired their items for some time, I wanted to spend only some of my parents' money on luxury clothing.
I chuckle to myself. "I've seen your closet's full of designer clothes."
"I brought all my clothes while filming the TV show that got axed after the first season." She chews with her lips open while eating a forkful of eggs she has put into her mouth.
It's almost as if she's acting like a child.
Melvin gives his head a shake. "I forgot what it's like to eat a proper breakfast with your siblings."
Melvin and I went to my parents' house during our most recent breakfast. Before Taylor picked up a spoon and hurled eggs at me after I made an unacceptable comment about him, he had first consumed a full English breakfast and half a lunch.
After the egg hit me, my siblings and I got into a fight over food, and everything went from bad to worse after that.
At first, Mom and Dad were not pleased with the situation, but then Taylor threw a roll at Mom. It had landed on her shirt and had a discoloration that looked like jelly.
It was then that her father joined in on the fun.
The only thing Melvin did was sit at the table and watch my family.
Immediately following the argument over the meal, he took me aside and told me that he adores how my family is together. His relationship with his parents was never as close as the one I have with mine.
His family is restrained and has high expectations for their children's behaviour, even when the people around them behave unacceptably.
I clean up after breakfast by bringing the dishes to the kitchen and doing the dishes there.
As soon as Alanie is in the kitchen, she begins to whistle. "Damn, this is the kind of kitchen I would love to cook in." She moves her hands across the marble surface of the table. "Do you think I can cook dinner one night for you?"
As I glance at her, I focus away from the sink. You will need to inquire with Melvin. I only need you to guarantee that you won't put any laxatives in our food.
When Taylor was out on a date with Alanie's former best friend, she did it to him.
Flashback
She was exploited by Alanie's friend to get closer to Taylor, and when she obtained a date with Taylor, she was able to use him.
Taylor thought Alanie's offer to prepare dinner for them was kind, and he appreciated her generosity.
It wasn't until later that night that he found out about her secret plan when they both started to sweat and fart a lot in the living room.
It wasn't until I saw the two of them dash out of the room to use the restroom that I realized the stench started making me nauseous.
When I turned around to look at Alanie, I saw him laughing on the floor across from me. "What did you do?"
When she finally sits down, she wipes the tears streaming down her face from all the laughter. "I put laxatives in their dinner."
I move closer to her and inquire about it. "Why?"
"She used me to secure a date with Taylor. I had to make amends to her for taking advantage of me. This may prompt others to reconsider their decision to utilize me to secure a date with our brother.
"What did Taylor do?"
As soon as Walden enters the living room, he appears to be looking at us. "What did I miss?"
"Sara and Taylor have the shits."
Walden makes a head shake motion. "You put laxatives in their dinner, didn't you?" She nods, and Walden gives her a high five. "I taught you well, little sis."
For Walden, I am pointing. "This was your idea?"
Without a doubt. My younger sister was crying over a scumbag who had used her to get closer to our brother, and I couldn't bear to watch her cry. Walden envelops me in a cosy embrace. If you feel terrible for them, you should be on the lookout. In the future, I would not want my food to be poisoned. After saying that, he entered the room with Alanie and walked out.
Alanie begins to giggle.
Flashback ends
"It was the most amazing day of my entire life. There is no doubt that Walden can make amends for those who have betrayed him. She puts her hand on my shoulder. "You haven't done anything to hurt me, so your food will be fine."
As Melvin enters the kitchen, he leans on the counter and begins to move around. "Are you ready to go beautiful?"
"Yeah," I say as I place the final dish on the rack and then walk up to Melvin, who is stretching his arm out for me. My foot is placed on his arm. Then I mutter. "Alanie wants to ask you something."
