      • Saturdays. Delicious, pleasant, mellow saturdays. So mellow that you got to sleep in and enjoy calm baths that you didn't have to rush out of and run to make sure you weren't extremely late to school. Unfortunately, that had happened numerous times to her during her senior year of high school, not like she would be the first to admit such a thing. This, however, was the beginning of her spring break that she couldn't spend in Cancun because her jerks for parents were going out to have fun and she could go to Cancun anytime was what her brand new stepfather announced, getting the deathstare from the seventeen year old who had shut him down with a solid, 'WHO even ASKED you RAYMOND?' Her calm cool and collected mother easily calmed the situation down but she still wasn't in Cancun where she should be, having went to bed fuming while her mother and Raymond.

        Even though she had been pissed off and like any teenage girl, would let it carry into her next day, she had fallen asleep like the brick sleeper she was. Unfortunately, she had taken one wrong roll off her hanging bed, the hard thud of her hitting the wood floors beneath was enough to shake the ground just slightly, an angered grumble coming off the ground. Shifting her body softly, the girl began her journey to a standing position, though the sound of voices emerged from downstairs, raising a brow slightly because she knew she couldn't have company over. Even then, they wouldn't be here when she was in her bed asleep, hazel eyes glancing around her room for a moment, the female shifted her fingers through her dark brown hair that had grown out from being its pixie cut style to now being short and choppy. Bangs slanting over her eyes as her current mess of hair shifted without very much of a care, Sarai narrowed her eyes slightly as she heard the familiar sound of one of her step brother's friend's laughs.

        Oh no.

        Bare feet guiding her out of her bedroom, she glanced at the clock quickly to check the time : Ten forty five!?! Oh no, no no no. They would not be the reason why she couldn't get back to sleep, pink cheerleading shorts holding onto her firm rear, her lightly tanned legs having been sunkissed due to starting early as far as being outside in the sun went, her hand ran over her forehead. Narrowing her eyes into slits when one of his friends caught notice of the five two and a half female, her arms folded over her C cup covered by one of her school's t - shirts, oversized for sleeping purposes."Well good morning sunshi- " "WHY are you in my house?" There was no time for nice conversation, no time for good mornings, because it was too early, looking up at the man with still narrowed eyes. [/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
 
Sean was far from being a morning person. No, sir. He could get downright murderous during the early hours but sometimes fate intervened and forced compliance into him. This was certainly one of those cases as he had forced himself to rise early to run some mandatory college-related errands. Despite the fact that it was still relatively early and his spirited friends were making a considerable ruckus, he felt oddly calm. Either he was too tired to kill someone or he was beyond giving a shit. Probably a blend of the two.

Truthfully, he hadn't planned on being in that house at all during his spring break, a time for partying and all that jazz. He didn't necessarily want to be there but he had gotten direct orders from the old man to 'keep an eye' on the female front. Protests had been the first thing that came to mind but Sean hadn't gotten through high school by being an idiot. No, he had simply nodded his acquiescence and promised to take care of his step-sister or as he saw it, check to see that she was alive before taking off in pursuit of some enjoyable company.

So Sean, being the dutiful son that he was has simply been waiting for his step-sister to wake up before he hit the road. Of course, he had expected loud mouths number one and two to wake her up and that was perfectly fine with him as it only shortened his stay. At his age, the word home was hardly welcome and the angry sight that met him was no different.

Sean snorted softly as he watched Sarai chew his buddy Josh out. Though, he wouldn't have minded the verbal tirade as he was not on the receiving end of it, Sean felt that he ought to have intervened lest his headache got worse.

"Nice hair," he commented dryly, his tone dripping with sarcasm, a stark contrast to the seriousness of his face.

"So listen, I'm gonna leave you to do your own thing. I left my new cell number on the counter in case of emergencies. Oh, and if dad calls, tell him I'm out running errands and being a great older brother. Kay? Good."

Sean wasn't too keen on hearing a response and so he quickly turned his back to her, opening the refrigerator door to check for any hidden beer cans.
 
      • This was not going to go good, evidently not for her step brother because she definitely wasn't going to go through this. Why couldn't it just be a fucking Saturday? Hell, why couldn't she be in Cancun? Eyes still narrowed, Sarai folded her arms tighter around her chest at the annoyance of him intervening to save his friend from getting himself cut to pieces verbally, rolling her eyes because none of them were worth looking attractive for. Bunch of reject college guys who thought it was cute to deprive a teenage girl of her sleep. Blinking for a second, her hands slid to her small hips, silver nails tapping at her sides gently when he stated that he was going to leave her to do her own thing, tilting her head for a moment because apparently he was expecting her to stay at home by herself to make sure she could get the phone. OH really? Gritting her teeth slightly, Sarai clicked her tongue behind her teeth slightly before moving toward the ringing phone in the kitchen, answering it with a simple, 'Hello.'

        Having not checked the caller I.D., it was perfect timing as she sat on top of the bar counter, legs crossing beneath her as she spoke loudly, "Oh HI mommy! How's the vacation?" It was ironic how everyone who had once been running off at the mouth suddenly went silent, eyes dropping on the pretty teenage girl as her eyes innocently scanned across the ceiling. With a calm nod despite her mother being unable to see it, she gave a soft 'mmhm', Sarai tilted her head lightly before asking, "Didn't you say that we weren't supposed to have any friends over?" With this question, her head slowly turned toward Sean as he dug in the refrigerator, eyes zeroing in on him because she was going to make damn sure he knew he wasn't leaving this house, "Oh right, you did say we couldn't, huh?" Calmly hopping off the counter, her bare feet hit the ground as she moved toward her stepbrother's still silent friends, her mother on the other end explaining why as she raised her small hand and clenched it into a fist, hitting the male who had earlier tried to verbally harass her.

        The sound of a faint pained noise emerged from his mouth, causing her mother to ask 'What was that?', Sarai tilting her head slightly before responding with an, "Oh nothing, just Sean taking out the trash." A few words of conversation later and Sarai had hung up the phone, ignoring the evidently pissed off expressions of his stupid friends as she set the phone back on the hook. "Get out losers." She responded, moving soundly upstairs and knowing that if she came back downstairs in fifteen minutes and they were still in the house, she was calling Raymond's cellphone and this would not go down well. [/list:u][/list:u][/list:u]
 
Being a guy who was well on his way to establishing himself a solid life, Sean did his best to keep as far away from his so called family as he could. It was not that he didn't like his parents, it was just that he didn't care to bond. Sean had never bonded with his father and he certainly wasn't about to put effort into building a relationship with a woman who took no part in conceiving him. He played his part by being polite and accepting and that was where the relationship ended. He didn't have time for family and he certainly didn't have time for bitchy step-sisters.

Frowning at the pitiful contents of the fridge, he only managed to draw his attention back to Sarai once she started speaking in that god-awful tone of hers like she was winning some sort of epic battle. Sean quirked a brow at her audacity, reading her gaze with little to no effort. If she thought for even a second that he was going to allow her to hustle him into staying then clearly she needed to get some more sleep. It would be a cold day in hell before he spent his much deserved vacation in this hell-hole with the hell-cat herself.

Sean could only watch as she unceremoniously gave his friends the verbal boot before heading back upstairs. Masking the oncoming scowl, Sean muttered something about meeting up later before following his step-sister up the stairs. This was far from over. The girl needed to realize who was in charge here. He, being the older brother and the only man in the house had more say than she did. That is, if she didn't open her big mouth and blab to the parental unit.

Once he reached her bedroom door, he didn't bother to knock, stepping in wordlessly. Normally, Sean was well-mannered enough to knock but seeing as how they were alone and he was on his way to getting angry as opposed to just mildly irritated, he didn't see the need to display any form of decorum.

"Look, I know this bitchy attitude is just your way of coping with being left behind while mommy skipped off to Cancun but you're not about to ruin my Spring break. Stop being a spoiled little brat, go back to sleep and when you wake up, everything will be better. I mean, you'll have the house to yourself. Go nuts, just make sure to cover for me. That ain't so hard now, is it?"

Of course the question was rhetorical, though, Sean couldn't help but regard her thoughtfully as he waited for what he hoped was an agreeable response. He was in no mood for defiance. Not this early in the morning.
 
  • She definitely wasn't always the spawn of Satan, especially because she usually wasn't even awake at this time of morning. However, with the disgusting fact of her step brother inviting his retarded friends into their house this early and letting them roam around, stomping like brutes and yelling about something, Sarai was not satisfied with that at all. Especially not when Sean thought he could get out of the house and leave her in this dump by herself and expect her to just let him get off the hook because he was the 'greatest big brother ever'. Yeah right. Making a mental note that there needed to be a run to the grocery store, the teenage girl had settled down on her bed and began checking her text messages, fingers sliding over the touch screen phone like a pro. Hearing the sound of the door close downstairs, a satisfied grin fell onto her pretty lips, checking another few text messages before glancing up lightly when she heard the footsteps of Sean enter her doorway. Looked as though he had something to say.

    Yeah ok, she had more texts to send, finishing those in less than two minutes before looking up when he stated that this was her 'coping' with being at home. "Yeah well she skipped right on to Cancun with your dad." Reminding him of this fact that he had so easily left out, her hands fell to her hips when he announced that she wasn't going to 'ruin' his spring break, she would smash whatever she wanted to, however, if he could have his stupid friends over then she could have hers over. Even then, it wasn't fair if she had to follow the rules and some guy could just do whatever he wanted. Didn't even pay rent. But back to reality, Sarai's hazel eyes narrowed just slightly for a moment before blinking as though she understood what he was saying. "Fine. I'll stay at home and be all by myself, but when Raymond calls, and asks where his 'greatest son ever' is? I'm telling him you're out with your stupid friends, doing God knows what. Not only that, but you left me at home, by myself, with no car and nothing in the goddamn refrigerator."

    Moving carefully to the edge of her bed, her pretty face tilted with her head as she announced, "I'm not covering for your ass, because for one, if I were to leave and go out with my friends, you definitely would have been on that phone so fast I'd be grounded in the hour. And second, if you would just MOVE out you wouldn't have that problem." She added, arms folding over her chest before instantly following up with, "And the next time you want to get out of the house like that? Tell your stupid friends to shut up." Sarai then shifted herself back toward the top of her bed, setting her phone over on her nightstand as she began to make herself comfortable in her bed. [/list:u]
 
As expected, the outcome was far from satisfying and Sean could only run a hand through his hair to somehow appease the throbbing his head seemed intent on doing. He narrowed his blue-gray eyes, the irritation building though his demeanor revealed no obvious signs of agitation. He had a knack for appearing calm at all times. Easily put, if Sean were a lake, you could skip stones over him.

He really wasn't in the mood for reasoning but being the level-headed guy that he was, Sean bit back the angry remarks and opted for a friendlier approach. Maybe, just maybe his stubborn step-sister would cave.

"Why are you bein' so difficult, huh? I'm trying my best to stay out of your way and let you spend your spring break the way you want, even if it isn't in Cancun."

At this, Sean began pacing and pretty soon, he seemed to be talking more to himself than to Sarai.

"Threatening to call my old man on me. The fuck is that? It's almost as if you want me here or something-..."

Trailing off, Sean rested his gaze on his step-sister's admittedly pretty face and gave her a rather scrutinizing look, his tone dropping several decibels.

"You don't want me here...do you?"

Of course, some of her more biting comments would easily have contradicted his thought-process if not for certain knowledge he possessed about Sarai and more importantly, himself. It wasn't likely that she would want anything to do with him and vice versa but seeing as how it was just the two of them, there was no harm in asking. Why else would she have threatened to rat on him if he didn't stick around. She couldn't have been that bent out of shape over not getting her way.

Sean considered the possibility that he was just thinking too much on it and brought his hands up to rub at his blood-shot eyes. He was fucking tired as all hell. Just being there in that house was already draining him.
 
  • If she were in her caring, concerned, and considerate mood, she would have easily told him that he looked way too tired to be going out and doing whatever with his stupid friends anyway. 'Stay at home and get something for that obvious splitting headache you have, because if you don't, I'll only make it worse.' She could have easily said that right off the bat on her arrival downstairs, but how many times had anyone ever heard Sarai say just that? Never, no matter how many times Sarai was less than cranky or in a sweet mood, she would never just plainly say something like that. Laying under her covers now only to reach out and grab her phone again, the teenager had received another slaughtering amount of text messages, checking them as they came before glancing up when he considered himself trying to stay out of her way. Right. So he brought his friends over to wake her up, then rudely say he was just going to leave her there.

    Cool cool, yeah he was trying to stay out of her way alright. But obviously not before pissing her off in the mean time. Watching him pace with a faint curiosity, she kept herself from smiling at how she had drawn him to do such a thing in the first place, her head tilted agains the comfortable pillow of hers before scrunching her nose when he stated it was almost as though she wanted him to stay at home with her. Nose still scrunched even as he made eye contact, finally fixing her face when his tone dropped as though to taunt her with that annoying question, Sarai remained quiet for the first time since she had been awake, turning on her side with her back to him as she grumbled like a pouty child, "Leave then." She still wouldn't cover for him. . Continuing to tell herself that, even if she did want him here, she wasn't going to just so plainly state such a thing unless he managed to pry it out of her. [/list:u]
 
If Sean were a lesser being, he would have bitterly pointed out that he could not leave due to her childish threats that kept him from properly enjoying himself. But, being the smart guy that he was, he decided not to stray from his current path. Even though it didn't exactly get him where he wanted to be (that being out of the house), he was still curious. And a part of him wondered if she planned on ignoring the underlying tones of the question. He was treading in murky waters here but he wasn't about to pull away without seeing how far he could take it.

Having himself a seat on the edge of her bed, Sean studied his step-sister carefully. Reverse psychology wasn't the route he planned on taking as he was almost certain that it couldn't possibly work on her, hotheaded though she might have been.

"Now you know I can't do that until you give me your word that you won't tell my father," he paused almost as if having an afterthought, "or your mother for that matter that I didn't babysit you. Unless you like being babysat. By the looks of it, you enjoy it very much. Or maybe you're just fucking with me because you've got no one else to fuck around with."

The weight of his words could amount to a ton of bricks if one only recognized the implications behind them. But he wasn't about to leave her satisfied.

Sighing, Sean rose to his feet and dealt her one last reproachful glance. "I'm not your personal stress-ball, Sarai." That being said, he strolled out of the room and headed for his own bed in hopes of perhaps claiming himself a power nap. Lord only knew that he could have desperately used one of those right about now.
 
  • She wasn't entirely sure she liked how this was going, and by this, she meant not in her favor. Lips still persistantly pouting softly, even though he was beginning to pick at her, she wasn't satisfied at all with what he was doing. Apparently, however, he was enjoying it enough to keep it up, feeling the weight of her bed shift once he sat on it, her head turned just slightly when she felt his eyes on her. Sarai raising a brow when he stated that he couldn't leave unless she promised that she wouldn't announce that he was leaving to go and party with his friends while she stayed at home, that idea still not sounding any slight bit of good to her, she let out a soft sigh and kept a slight frown that dared to attempt obscure her pretty face. It was another moment of having to find an underlying comment hidden in his words that Sarai caught easily, crossing her arms over her chest because now apparently the point of it was pushed back to her.

    Oh really? She was the only one who enjoyed it? He could not be serious, and if he thought for the slightest second that he was just going to get away with something like that because he was older and bigger and 'the greatest big brother ever' he had another thing coming. "Now you're just being mean." But it was that look on his face when he stood up off her bed that caused her eyes to narrow, because now he really was being unfair about it entirely, snatching up one of her stuffed animals and throwing it toward the doorframe, it just barely missed his head on the way out. "Got no one else to fuck around with but you were quick in a hurry to stick your-" Her grumbles masked by a pillow as she placed it over her head, the currently pissed off and mildly cranky seventeen year old removed the pillow once she had silenced herself, finding now it was next to impossible to even attempt to go back to sleep.

    Standing up carefully, the brunette shifted out of her bed, this time landing on her feet as she moved from her bedroom and back downstairs to a fortunately empty house, inhaling the scent that wasn't college man, bare feet tipping her into the kitchen as she began a breakfast she normally wouldn't even be thinking about this early.
