Note: We took some liberties on having Zoey show up late. Collab with @The Muse, @lovely complex, @ViciousmarrowBefore anything commenced and Sophia had joked about Riley getting his girl pregnant,
“God, I wish.” his phone vibrated once, nope twice more. Ah, speaking of the devil. A sly grin fell on his face as he sent a text back to his doll.
By ‘there’, he meant by the Greenhouse in the park but Rye usually always gave limited information unless the person digged further. He would bring up the possible Sunday plans when he saw her. The excitement swelled on his face. Escaping his family and watching Claire sweat? Man, that was too hot for words.
The male twin needed this meeting to end. Fast. There was a lady waiting for him,
his lady.
Rolling his eyes at his older sister, he laughed,
”Oh that’s cute. How long has it been since you got laid?” Riley’s filter when it came to sex flew out the door but at least he was honest with his family. His mind had a hard time considering those around him when the inner pervert in him was filled with intrigue and eagerness. Olivia had sat on the floor in her usual spot and James made his way to the sofa. Where was Zoey?
Sophia scoffed at her brothers comeback, rolling her eyes. It had been quite some time for her, but she didn’t need to broadcast it to the entire family. Thinking back to the last person she had intimate relations with made her skin crawl, so instead of saying some snide comment back, Sophia fell silent.
“Oh God, you’re fucking her already? What an easy slut.” Kylie cried disappointingly while shaking her head.
“Nah Kye, but that’s the goal. THE DREAM even! One day my Claire-bear and me are gonna make” Slowly, Riley made pelvic thrust motions,
”Sweet, sweet, honey sweet babies!”Kylie reddened in the face as her brother made lewd comments about coupling with his girlfriend.
”What the fuck is wrong with you?” she commented snidely, silently daring him to say anything more about this topic. Her good mood was already starting to wane.
“
Rye!” Sophia interrupted, gesturing to little Olivia sitting on the ground, hearing and watching everything. “
Knock it off, would ya?” She had nearly forgotten that Riley could get just as vulgar as Kylie sometimes. They were twins after all.
Shrugging not finding any wrong in his actions, the flamed-haired male decided to get the show on the road. Zoey had showed up fashionably late as always. From his butt pocket, he pulled out a
tiny beanie baby bear. He began puppeting the white stuffed animal.
”Herro! Angel, the talking bear here! Remember the rules. Do not speak until I’m in your hand and please… treat me gently.” Bringing his attention to his twin, who wanted to suggest an idea, Rye continued with the high pitched bear voice,
”Maybe if you’re a good girl you can go next~” He winked at his twin playfully. This bear was their parents’ solution on solving the “Our kids can’t shut up when someone else talks” problem. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it failed terribly.
Since Riley had the bear first, he would start.
Breaking out of the “Angel” character, he spat out a summary of this morning’s events rapidly to bring everyone up to speed,
”Diner. Shitshow. Kylie was thrown under the boss… oops. Angry me kicked her out. SLAP! Sophi slapped Elliot and took a break. By the way guys, Elliot’s back!” Shaking his head in disapproval, he brought his attention to his older sister,
“He didn’t deserve that. Even if you’re angry as shit. Slapping him makes you no better than him.” Bringing the bear up and placing it on his head, Rye rolled on with the summary,
”Angry me was alone with Ron. Closed shop because fuck that noise. Went to the mall for lunch to discover three slutty ‘smoke weed errrrday’ sisters and da popo.” He looked down at Olivia remembering her text and finally answered her question,
”Oh! Yeah. Mom did. But that was for her mental health. Kylie abused that… and still does.” Turning to his twin, he narrowed his eyes,
”You’re gonna get us arrested one day. It’s ILLEGAL to miss school without a good excuse. It’s ILLEGAL to smoke weed. It’s ILLEGAL to give minors weed.” After emphasizing the illegal-ness of his twin’s actions, he resumed with the summary,
“Fortunately, today was the police man’s day off and he let us off the hook. BUT GUESS WHAT?!!?! He lives next door!”Sophia’s eyes grew a little wider as she listened to Riley, who appeared more and more like their father every day. Apparently a lot had happened in the time that Sophia had been off flirting with Anthony, slightly out of spite for Elliot. “
Where is Houdini anyway?” She thought, glancing over at Olivia and Zoey who had gone on an illegal adventure with Kylie. She frowned, “
Dad would be so disappointed…”
Relieved that the filler bullshit was out of the way, he tossed the bear to his twin to get her’s over and done with… the sooner she spoke, the better off they all would be and ended his spew with a thumbs up.
”You wanna know what is legal, Riley? Sucking my fucking dick, you assclown.” With a huff and evil eyes absolutely leering at her brother, she caught the bear and began her speech.
”It wasn’t my fault that this shit happened anyways. If Riley hadn’t fired me for doing a shitty job, which, mind you, NOBODY taught me how to do any of that crap. I mean, seriously, what the fuck is wrong you guys? ‘Hey, let’s get that sister of ours that’s never worked a day in her life and has crippling social anxiety! Let’s make her do all the work!’ Fucking great idea, dipshits. Bravo.” Kylie mocked her siblings, even going so far as to give them a sarcastic round of applause.
”Who would have known you couldn’t clean up fucking glass off the floor?” The twin annoyingly glared at his sister.
“
It isn’t that hard to stand at the front and walk people to a nice seat, without serving them glass covered biscuits.” Sophia glared at Kylie, blue eyes as cold as ice. The “bear” trick their parents had implemented wasn’t working well today.
The redheaded female was glowering at both Sophia and Riley, her face a rosy tint as she struggled to contain her anger. Tension was strong in the air. She should have just marched out right then, but she just wanted to get this crap over with. Plus, her idea might be able to regain her siblings’ respect.
”Anyway, I have solution to all this crap with the diner so this never happens again.” Kylie finally spoke after a moment of silence.
”You guys are getting fucked in the ass with work, aren't you? Riley works all damn day, Sophi looks like she's gained 20 pounds from stress, and James… Well, I rarely see him. The point is that everybody is overloaded with stress, and that’s not good for anybody.” she started.
“
Hey!” Sophia scowled at her sister as she mentioned gaining weight. She hadn’t gained any weight! Had she? Her eyes glanced down at her stomach, suddenly straightening up her posture. Bad posture meant rolls and rolls were a no-go. She had skipped the gym today in favor of a nap instead… maybe she should have just went afterall. “
After the date… I’ll go for a run…”
“What would be great for everybody is a change of pace. No more long hours at the diner.” Kylie was dearly trying to sell her idea right now.
”What I’m suggesting is to turn the diner into a uh… what’s those shits called? Um…” She tapped her chin and thought for a moment about the word she was trying to use. Those years of high school were so far behind her, and she had trouble remembering basic vocabulary.
”A niche market! That’s the word!” the mess of a woman exclaimed.
”Transform the business into a specialty diner and only open for like… 4 hours? You, Riley, what’s your specialty?” Kylie asked her brother, actually sounding somewhat business-like.
Not really believing the words coming out of his twin’s mouth, Riley was stunned for a round, perplexed and bewildered. Shaking his head in disbelief, he responded,
”Uh...I guess brunch? Since I make it all the time for you all.” Was four hours enough for a diner to be open daily? He wasn’t the most business savvy guy but if this could give him more free time, that would be amazing.
”Okay there you go. Work off that. Establish hours at like… 9 to 1 or something, then you guys have the whole flippin’ day to do what you want. What’s more is that since we already have an established clientele, we will still make money. Hell, we might make more money since we’re not throwing shit out every day. It’s basic economics. Supply and demand, bitches.” Kylie finished up and sat there with an accomplished expression on her face. She had this in the bag. If this had been a job interview or something, the twin was positive she would have gotten the job.
”I’ll leave the decision making to you, Sophi. But damn, I would love to be home before midnight.” With hope in his eyes, he looked at his older sister and waited for her response.
Sophia listened to her sister’s proposal, astonished that she would have thought of such a thing. She would have expected something like this from James, but certainly not Kylie. Perhaps smoking weed actually helped her brain functions. “
Well…” Looking at Riley and Kylie’s faces, how could she say no? Ultimately the decision would be hers, as the business went to her after their parents death. “
I would love some free time too but…” She paused, her eyes meeting James. This wasn’t what their parents had in mind in the beginning of things, but with the current situation it was probably best. “
What do you think, James? You’re the business major.”
