'Lexie, Get ya arse up!' My sister groaned and rolled over facing her back to me as she swiped my hand away, '5 more minutes' I rolled my eyes, walking to the end of the bed I grabbed two handfuls of blanket and yanked it, tearing the sheet off her, revealing her exposed skin to the cold winter air.
Sighing Lexie sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed, 'You're a bitch, ya know that Naomi?' I nodded a huge grin spreading over my face as I walked towards the bathroom, 'I'm having first shower!' I yelled out
Closing the door behind me, walking over to the mirror, the beautiful grey eyes my mother had stared back at me, reaching my hand up to play with a strand of black hair, I sighed and turned towards the shower. It didn't take long to wash my hair seeing it reached just above my shoulders, honestly I hated long hair, my sister on the other hand loved it, dunno why it just gets in the way all the time.
Turning off the water I got out and wrapped the light blue towel around me, wiping the steam off the mirror, I brushed my hair back then started applying foundation lightly on my face with mascara. Walking out of the bathroom I watched as my sister smiled at me then practically ran into the room slamming the door behind her, shaking my head I dried off then went to the chest of draws off at the left side of the room.
Our apartment wasn't big, 1 bathroom, living room and of course 1 bedroom, reaching into the draw I pulled out a pair of black skinny jeans and an aqua tank top, going to the top draw I just pulled out a plain black lacy bra and the matching bottoms along with a pair of socks. Sitting on the edge of the bed, as I finished pulling the last sock on the bathroom door swung open, Lexie made her way over to the right side of the room pulling out pretty much the identical outfit to me, however the tank top was blue, pulling on my green converse, I grabbed our wallet and phones and headed to the door, Lexie followed smiling at me as she tied her hair up, 'Ready?' she laughed, 'of course!'
Did I forget to mention, we're twins.
'You really want to leave this place?' I asked staring down at the name of my mother, I heard Lexie sigh next to me, 'It's bout time don't ya think?, We aren't leaving for good I know that much' I smiled, reaching over we both placed a hand on top of our mother's tombstone the backed away. Making our way back to the car I checked the boat ticket, 'We got a couple more hours till the boat leaves, what do you wanna do?' Lexie shrugged her shoulders pulling out a pack of cigarettes from her pants offering me one, lifting the smoke to my lips I grabbed the lighter from her and lit it, 'We'll we have to go back to the apartment anyway' Lexie looked at me and raised an eyebrow, 'why?' rolling my eyes, 'Umm don't you think we forgot something...?' I watched waiting for her to finally realize what we left behind, …
"stare".
…
"stare".
…
'we fucking forgot our bags!' shaking my head I put out the smoke and started walking back towards what we called 'home' Lexie caught up to my foot steps, 'Do you think we're gonna find him?' I stared down at my feet stopping just out front of the building, 'I honestly don't know, mum didn't really give us much to go on... Just a name' turning around I pushed open the door and headed upstairs.
We had no one left. It was just my sister and I, mum passed away a few years ago after she had gotten really sick, knowing our father wasn't going to last, she told us if we had no one at all to go to, we could always go to ll Duce. ll Duce was a family friend, Lexie and I haven't actually met the man, but we thought why the hell not, we got nothing better to do right? So having dad die a few months ago we put our savings together done a bit of research and off we were to Ireland.
