I had this idea in my head but I wasn't sure how to work it into my story Cousins Lost and Found, so here it is. This is kind of a sequel to that story, but there's no real plot. Just a series of fluffy one shots about the different relationships or scenes from that story I wanted to write but couldn't fit in. Read, review, enjoy!
I own nothing but my OC's.
Laura Mae Martin was sick, but she didn't feel like staying in bed. She wanted to go outside and play with her cousin Benjy. Arguing with her mother had proved pointless though, so she was stuck in bed.
"Mama," she called out, hoping to find some company. "Can you please read to me?"
Just then someone knocked on the door and Mrs. Martin went to answer it. Opening the door, she saw her young nephew Benjamin Martin. "Hello, Benjy. What brings you to our door today?"
"Can Laura come play today?"
"I'm afraid Laura is sick today." Benjy looked so disappointed Mrs. Martin almost laughed. She managed to contain herself as she invited the young boy to come inside and have a drink.
"Yes please!" Benjy ran inside and sat himself down next to his cousin's bed. "Hello Laura. How are you? I gots some new marbles! Wanna see?" He held out his hand to show off his marbles.
"Oh! Those are nice. Did your pa get them for you?"
"I traded 'em."
"Wanna see my new dolly?" Laura sat up in bed and reached for her newest doll, sitting on the floor next to the bed. Benjy admired the doll, made of china and dressed in a pale pink dress. "My pa brought her home yesterday. Her name is Beth, like Ma."
"She's pretty."
"Can I shoot marbles with you?"
The two cousins sat themselves on the floor and began to play with the marbles. They spent the rest of the afternoon in Laura's bedroom playing with every toy she had. They fell easily into a routine the rest of the week. Benjy would come over every afternoon to play and spend all afternoon and evening. After dinner, Beth would come in and read to them or tell stories. Almost every night, Benjy would fall asleep on Laura's bed and Mr. Martin would bring him home.
The next week, Laura felt much better and her mom had given her permission to visit her cousin. She skipped happily down the hall to Benjy's house and knocked on his door. Her aunt answered.
"Hello Laura Mae. How are you this fine day?"
"Much better, thank you Auntie Lanna. Is Benjy home?"
"Oh, he caught sick. But come in to visit. It might make him feel better." Laura followed her aunt through the hallway to her cousin's room. He was standing by the doorway, trying to see who had come.
"Hi Benjy! Look what I brought!" Laura held out her hands, filled with marbles she had collected from her friends. She ran into his room and sat down in the middle of the floor. They spent the rest of the day shooting marbles in Benjy's room.
Before anyone reviews asking who Benjy is, read Cousins Lost and found. If you're still confused, review and I'll explain it to you.
