The sun was shining really brightly and it was really warm outside. And I, of course, had to stay inside to make my homework. My little sister is by a friend so it is at least quiet here.
The door got opened and I turned around to see my mom standing there.
"Sweetie? Can you pick up Chloë from her playdate?" My mom asked me.
"Why do I have to do it? You're here too right? And I have much homework." I tried.
Okey that was a lie. I only had to finish my history which was only a few questions. But I just wanted to chill and relax when I was done.
"Because I have to go to a friend. She is moving tomorrow to another city. And didn't you came downstairs just 20 min ago for a quick break because you were almost done with your homework?" I sighed.
Damn it. I totally forgat that.
"Fine. How late do I have to pick her up?" I gave in.
"At 5 o'clock."
"Key." I simply replied and she walked out of the room, leaving me alone. I grabbed my phone for the time. Okey, I have an half hour to make myself presentable.
I putted my homework away and searched for some better clothes. When I was done I did my hair and putted a little make up on. I grabbed my earplugs and looked at the time. I have 15 min left. I then walked downstairs where my mom was.
"Mom? To which adress do I have to go?" I asked as I approached her..
"To the Gunnarsens. You know where that is right?" My mom answered.
"Didn't she play there last week too?" I asked as I remembered that name. "With Emma right?"
"Yes." She nodded..
"Oh okey, then I know where it is." I gave my mom a kiss on the cheek and headed for the door. "Bye, mom."
"Bye, sweetie." I walked out of the door and putted my earplugs in.
Luckily the Gunnarsens live close by.
I looked around and enjoyed the sun that was shining down on me. I sang a bit along to the music when I saw the house of the Gunnarsens. I walked to the front door and knocked on it, putting my earplugs away. The door opened and I looked straight into two chocolate brown eyes. A tall boy with short dirty blonde hair was standing in front of me, leaning against the door. He had a birthmark above his lip and one of the cutest smiles I have ever seen.
"Hey." The boy said, getting me out of my little gaze.
"H-hey." I stuttered, hoping my cheeks wouldn't heat up.
"Are you here to pick up Chloë?" He asked.
"Uhm yeah, how do you know?" I asked a little confused, still being a little flustered.
"Chloë told me she has a older sister. But she didn't told me you were so beautiful." He smiled while scratching the back of his neck. "So what's your name, beautiful?" He asked me and I now couldn't hold my blush back.
"Y/n." I smiled nervously.
"I should've known that a beautiful girl has a beautiful name." He answered, not letting his cute smile move away from his face.
I started to blush even more.
"And what's yours?" I asked as I remembered I didn't know his.
"My name is-" Just when he wanted to tell me his name, we heard some screaming. He turned around and we saw another boy who looked exactly like the boy in front of me. But he had longer hair.
I didn't know that Emma had older twin brothers.
"Martinus, you have to come! I can't handle those girls anymore!" The other boy yelled while running down the stairs to us.
Okey, I quess the boy's name is Martinus.
"Oh come on. They can't be that bad." Martinus chuckled.
"Oh really? Then you can go upstairs to them." His brother replied and walked in front of him. "Wait, who is this?" He asked smirking to his brother while pointing at me. "Is this who I think it is?" His smirking grew even more.
"If you mean that this is Chloë's older sister, y/n? Then yes." Martinus slightly rolled his eyes.
Okey what did I missed?
"Hi, nice to meet you. I'm Marcus, Martinus his twin brother. But you can call me Mac if you want." He said while holding his hand out for me.
"Hi, nice to meet you." I said, shaking his hand. "But is my little sister bothering you?"
"Well-"
"Mac! Where are you?!" We heard as Mac got cutted off. He looked at the stairs and then back at us.
"If they come here, tell them you didn't see me." He said before running away.
"So that's my brother." Martinus laughed. I already love his laugh.
I laughed too and then we saw Emma and Chloë running down the stairs.
"Y/n, you're here!" Chloë yelled and gave me a tight hug. "Did you see Mac?" She asked looking up to me.
"Uhmm why?" I asked.
"He is our test doll." She answered with a sweet smile.
"Your what?" Martinus laughed.
"Our test doll. We's trying to test my make-up on him, but he runs away every time we come near him." Emma sighed.
"That's....weird." Tinus laughed.
"You know, if you can't find Mac, you have always Tinus here on who you can test on. I bet he would love to be your test doll." I said kneeling down to them and looking at Tinus. "Right?"
"Ye-yeah but we can also help you with finding Marcus. Isn't that much better?" He asked the two boys nervously. I laughed and shook my head while looking at him.
"Or that." I replied.
"I heard that! You traitor!" Marcus shouted while coming out of his hiding spot in the kitchen.
"Hey Mac, what are you doing here?" Martinus asked, trying to safe the situation.
"Mac!" Both Emma and Chloë exclaimed.
"Oh god, what did I do?" He tried to ran away but the girls were faster and ran to him, took a seat on the ground and each hugged his leg tightly.
Martinus and I laughed at him. He tried to walk around but it didn't really work well.
"Okey okey you got me." He said, giving up.
"You know, you can also use Tinus as test doll. That way you both have someone and it is fair for the boys." I told the girls, shrugging.
"What?!" Martinus exclaimed, turning to me. I shrugged again and the girls jumped up.
"Yeah that's a great idea!" Chloë yelled. "Come on Tinus!" She ran to him and grabbed his arm, pulling him upstairs with her.
"But Chloë, don't you have to go home? Y/n is here to pick you up." He tried.
"I can call mom and ask if we can stay a little longer if you like?" I suggested, knowing the boys won't like this for sure
"Yes!" Emma and Chloë exclaimed excitedly.
"No!" Both the boys shouted, giving me a 'why' look.
"Oh come on boys. It will be fun." I smiled.
"And what are you gonna do then?" Martinus asked me, raising an eyebrow.
"First I am going to call my mom and then I am probably going to make some pictures of their beautiful art on your faces when they're done." I answered, grabbing my phone.
"I like your sister." Emma smiled at Chloë.
"Awh thanks, I like you too." I smiled at Emma.
"She would be the perfect girlfriend for one of my brothers." Emma continued, making my eyes go wide.
"Oehhh yeah! And then they are gonna get married later!" My little sister joined in.
"And then we can become sisters!" They both exclaimed at the same time while jumping around.
The twins and I looked at each other.
I didn't want to ruin their little dream but I don't think that that's ever gonna happen. We just know each other for 15 minutes or something. I mean, of course I think Martinus is cute. And yes, I wouldn't mind hanging out with him some more....I just don't think he would ever like to hang out with someone like me.
"Girls we just know each other." Martinus said, trying to calm them down.
"But don't you think my sister is pretty?" Chloë asked him.
"Well yeah but-"
"No but's. Last week Chloë showed a picture of her and I saw your eyes go wide." Emma gave her brother a little smirk, having Martinus his cheeks to go red.
I didn't know she showed him a picture of me. I mean Tinus told me that Chloë said she has a older sister, but not that part.
"Yeah! And then you said that you thought she was very beautiful." Chloë joined in, causing Tinus to blush even more.
"Ha! You're exposed." Marcus laughed while Tinus gave his brother a punch on the shoulder. Martinus turned to me, his face showing me that he was ashamed.
"You didn't tell me that. You only said at the door that you thought I'm beautiful." I answered.
"Oh really? My bad." Martinus said, shrugging. And on that moment my phone started ringing. He sighed out relieved.
"Oeh you're lucky." Marcus let out to Martinus.
"It's my mom, I have to pick up." I told them before accepting the call. "Yes mom?"
"Where are you? Weren't you supposed to pick Chloë up?" My mother asked from the other side of the line.
"Yeah but there where some 'problems' here." I answered, referring to Marcus and the girls. "But that doesn't matter now. Is that the reason for your call?"
"I wanted to say that my friend is holding a little diner with some other friends and she just invited me and your father. So your father can be home any second and then we are leaving for the diner. Do you think you can prepare something yourself and Chloë tonight? Or maybe you can ask Gerd-Anne if you can stay and have diner there?" My mother suggested.
"That's no problem at all, mom. I will ask them and otherwhise I can always order some food." I answered, letting out a little smile.
"That's great to hear, sweetie."
"Yes but when will you come back exactly?" I asked.
"I don't know. But I wouldn't stay up for us 'cause there is a chance that we will come home after midnight. You know how things go when you're having fun." My mother answered.
"Okey, don't worry we won't." I smiled, even though she can't see it.
"Great! Goodnight Sweetie and have fun at the Gunnarsens." I didn't need to see my mother's face to know that she was smiling.
"Goodnight and have fun too, mom." I told my mom before ending the call. I putted my phone back in my back pocket, seeing the four of them looking at me. "Don't worry boys, they will have lots of time to do your faces 'cause our parents are going to a diner. That means we're home alone tonight." I saw the girls getting excited while the boys let out a big sigh. I noticed Martinus keeping a little smile back though.
"Yeeeeeeh!" The girls smiled.
"Oh and about that picture, don't think you will get away with it so easy." I told Martinus with a soft smile. He smiled innocently back at me and then Emma pulled him with her.
"Come on! You're gonna look beautiful!" She smiled at him.
"Are you coming too, y/n?" Chloë asked me while pulling Mac with her.
"Yeah I will come any second." I answered and she nodded before walking up the stairs with Marcus.
I then heard a door getting opened. I turned around and saw Gerd-Anne coming in, carrying a few bags in her hands.
"Let me help you." I said while grabbing a two bags from her.
"That's very kind of you, y/n." Gerd-Anne replied and we walked to the kitchen, putting the bags on the ground. "You're here for Chloë, aren't you?"
"Yes I am. But my mother just called me a few minutes ago. She is going to a friend's diner with my father."
"Ahh, so you're home alone." She asked me. I nodded. "Do you want to eat diner here with us?" She asked me kindly.
"That would be great." I smiled. "If we're not bothering you of course." I fast added.
"Oh don't worry sweetie, you won't. And besides, I don't think that the girls would mind it. Where are they actually?" She asked me..
"Oh they're using the twins as test dolls for their make up." I let out a little laugh.
"Of course they are." She laughed too. "But I am gonna prepare the food now."
"Do you need any help?" I asked her, not wanting her to do everything alone.
"Oh no sweetie, don't worry. You can go upstairs to the others." She smiled sweetly at me.
"Alright, but let me know if there's anything I can help you with." I told her. She nodded before letting out a smile. I returned it and then headed upstairs where I saw a door with the name 'Emma' on it. I opened it and saw the girls being busy with putting make-up on the twins.
"Good news girls, we can eat diner here." I told them as the girls started jumping around the room. The twins turned around and just then I could clearly see their faces. They were all covered up with make-up. They seriously looked like clowns. I couldn't help but laugh and grabbed my phone, soon making pictures of them.
"Smile!" I laughed, taking another picture, causing the boys to groan out of annoyance.
"It's not funny! We look like clowns!" Marcus sighed.
"Yeah delete those pictures now!" Martinus joined in.
"Do you mean these pictures?" I asked while showing them the few pictures I made, smiling cheekily before running away. They fastly stood up and ran after me. I ran downstairs through the livingroom and then to Gerd-Anne in the kitchen. "Sorry." I let our and fast ran away when I saw them close behind me. I heard her laughing after me and yelling that it was okey. I ran upstairs again to Emma's room, blocking it from the inside with some furniture. "Girls you have to help me! Fast, they can come any second!" They nodded and started helping me. We then heard two voices behind the door, together with loud knocking on the door.
"Y/n we know you're there! Give us the pictures! Now!" Martinus yelled.
"Never! If you want them you have to come and get it!" I yelled back and fast grabbed my phone to send the pictures to Chloë. That way they could delete it from my phone but Chloë would still have them. I then putted my phone back in my back pocket again and sat on the bed. "Do you think that they will manage to open the door?" I asked the two girls in front of me who were slighlty giggling because of the twins.
"Well I have to admit, they're very strong. So maybe?" Emma answered.
Oh god.
The noise behind the door stopped, causing the room to become quiet for a moment.
Are they gone?
We stayed quiet, listening very carefully to every single noise we heard.
They were gone.
I think.
Emma and Chloë carefully walked to the door, each putting their ear against it. Then they moved some furniture away. We stayed quiet for another minute when the suddenly the door got opened. We all got a huge shock as the twins stormed in. Their faces were clean again, so they washed it their make-up off. That's probably the reason why it was so quiet for earlier. They scanned the whole room when Martinus eyes fell on me and we met eyes. He immediately jumped on me, pushing me further on the bed. He then held me down, laying on top of me.
"Where is your phone?" Martinus asked me.
"What phone?" I tried.
"The phone with the pictures." Martinus rolled his eyes playfully, letting a little laugh escape his lips.
"I don't know what you're talking about." I said, putting my innocent smile on.
"Are you sure?" He asked me, not buying any of it.
"Yes." I lied.
"Okey then we will do it this way." He said and removed his hands away from my arms.
"What are you-" I tried to say but then he tickled me. "St-stop, ple-please." I said between my laughter. He kept on going on though. "Ok-okey, I gi-give up-p." I gave in since I almost couldn't breath anymore.
"Are you giving up?" I nodded. I grabbed my phone and unlocked it, handing it over to him. He smiled cheekily and gave it to Mac who was standing right beside us. He turned his look to me again, making our eyes meet. We stared in each other's eyes what felt like forever. I just couldn't help but to get lost in them. I didn't notice he was leaning in, and was I. He grabbed my cheek with on hand and looked down at my lips. He then looked in my eyes again for a second before turning his gaze to my lips again, silently asking for permission. I nodded lightly. He smiled softly at me before slowly placing his soft lips on mine. I felt him smiling in the kiss which made me smile too.
The feeling was incredible. I have never felt that way before.
We slowly pulled away from each other, looking in each other's eyes again.
"Hey lovebirds, search a room." We heard Marcus laugh.
"Oehhh y/n and Martinus are in lovee." The girls joined in, making kissing faces. "And they are gonna get married and have kids and make a whole new family!"
"Maybe some day yeah." Martinus smiled, kissing me again.
Maybe yeah....some day.....And that would become the best day of my life.
