Finally the weekend was here, it was a beautiful Friday morning. Elizabeth had worked long and hard that week, as a bakers intern. This morning she was able to sleep in, and she loved every minute of it, until the warm sun shone on her face waking her from slumber. She yawned and stretched, climbing out of bed to get dressed. Elizabeth put her bra and panties on then, she grabbed her black wrap around dress, tying it in the back. She brushed her red curls out of their knots fixing them. Once finished with her daily routine she went the kitchen to make her and her brother breakfast. They had moved out if their parents house and into their own apartment, making life easier. Her brother was older than her by a year. As she made eggs, bacon, toast, and coffee, she thought whether he had work this Friday or not, either way today would be nice and quiet. Elizabeth set the table, and put the plates down, the newspaper was on his side waiting for him. It was odd at times it seemed Elizabeth was more of a wife than a sister, taking hold of the house chores, when they first moved people thought they were a newly married couple, they looked like they fit that way.
Last night had been a long one for Arthur... A long night indeed, he and the restaurant he worked at had covered nearly a hundred people that night. For a restaurant in the Michelin star ranking that is quite a feat. Arthur hadn't gotten home till three am, well into the morning... but it was quite early when he woke from his brief rest. Truthfully he had already been laying awake in his bed for near an hour before he heard his sister begin milling around in the kitchen. He wondered what she was up to... he debated with his bodies various aches to get up. Even though they were making a fairly compelling case he managed to work himself into a sitting position.
For a moment Arthur sat in that spot and stared at the door. Listening to his sister as she cooked and made the table... he could even work out the sound of her placing the newspaper. A small smile slipping over his features as he could almost vividly imagine her as she did this, because she had done it for them many times before. It was nice living with his sister for she had always been closer to him than anyone else he knew, even their mom and dad who were for lack a better word were rather absent most of their childhood.
As Arthur convinced himself to stand it dawned on him that without his recolection he had managed to tear off all of his cloths before falling asleep last night... "Must have been a hot night" he mumbled as he blinked sleeply and scratched his well toned stomach and chest. His eyes searched for something to wear, spotting a worn pair of jeans he grabbed them and slipped them on... he was unsure rather they were clean or dirty but he also didn't really care.
Arthur walked towards his door and pushed it open, leaving it ajar behind him as he walked out of it and for the kitchen. His emerald green eyes spotting his sister as she sat at her usual spot at the table. "Morning Sis" He said with a smile before turning to the fridge, opening it with one hand as the other reached in and pulled out a beer. After opening it with some random implement from their silverware drawer he proceeded to join her at the table.
"Happy friday off" It was as this point when he sat down in the slightly cold chair that he realized he had forgot to put on a shit, but he simply shrugged it off as he was sure she wouldn't mind.
