After a quick, sharp knock on the door Mary – Lynette pushed open the old door. Kestrel was sat at the large, wooden dining room table hunched over pages of paper. Mary – Lynette looked at her curiously but she didn't even glance up. Kestrel wore a slightly annoyed expression but Mary – Lynette decided not to pursue it.
She worked her way around the heavy furniture and towards the kitchen. There was a lot of confusing clattering sounds coming from behind the door. She pushed open the door and observed the scene before her. "What the…?" She trailed of not knowing what the right words were. Pots and pans were everywhere, the huge oven was all the way across the other side of the room and the fridge was on its side. Mary – Lynette stared in disbelief and then Rowan's head popped up from behind the overturned fridge.
"Oh, hey there." Rowan said, smiling warmly.
Mary - Lynette was speechless, her jaw open wide. "What exactly are you doing?" Mary – Lynette managed to splutter.
"Cleaning." Rowan replied simply.
"You don't even cook, so why on earth are you cleaning the kitchen." Mary – Lynette stated, still confused as to why Rowan of all people would need to be in the kitchen.
"So, does that mean that the kitchen should be neglected, it is still a part of the house you know." Rowan said before ducking back behind the fridge.
Mary – Lynette shook her head and decided that it would probably be better if she just left and went to find her brother and his girlfriend. They had been officially dating for 9 months know, they had eventually been persuaded to keep it from going public for a couple of months, but wow that had been a hard thing to persuade.
Mary – Lynette called out there names as she made her way upstairs, it was highly unlikely that she would startle them considering Jade was a vampire but you never know. Jade's door opened as Mary – Lynette got to the top of the stairs and she strode into the entrance of Jade's room. Mary – Lynette smiled when she saw Jade and Mark perched on the edge of the bed holding hands and trying to stroke Tiggy with the other. It wasn't exactly going to plan. Jade looked at Mary – Lynette and smiled back at her.
She walked over and flopped down on the side of the bed. She looked across at Jade and said, "What's with the obsessive cleaning going on down stairs and Kestrel getting annoyed over a piece of paper."
Jade shrugged and said, "Well Rowan's in an organising mood," Jade rolled her eyes, obviously used to her oldest sisters need to organise, "and Kestrel I have no idea, your guess is as good as mine."
Mary – Lynette frowned slightly before looking at her younger brother, "Did you tell Claudine that you were coming here?" Mark said yes and Mary – Lynette found herself thinking about Claudine's comment to her the other day.
Flashback to last Thursday"You know ever since last summer something hasn't been quite right with you, is there something that I should know." Claudine said to her as Mary – Lynette sat eating a breakfast bar and staring of into space thinking about what she was normally thinking about, Ash.
Mary – Lynette looked at her and replied, "What do you mean?"
"You know, your always staring of into space and you don't go out to watch the stars at much. I mean I know that you tend to go to the Burdocks most nights but you just seem… detached. You know how your father worry's as well." Claudine explained.
Mary – Lynette frowned slightly she thought that she had been doing so well on hiding her feeling of loss. She shrugged and just said, "I'm doing fine, I just had a lot to think about this year with finishing school and all and I've just been wondering what I want to do with the rest of my life." She figured that a half-truth was better than an all out lie.
Claudine frowned but she let it go and Mary – Lynette was left to finish her breakfast in piece.
Present Day
Mary – Lynette had left it alone that morning but even now she was still wondering about that conversation and she sometimes thought that she could see Claudine watching her out of the corner of her eye. Claudine may have been trying to help but if Mary – Lynette was being honest with herself she was worried about what to do with her future. She refused to think that he wouldn't come back but even if he did she knew that she had big decisions ahead of her.
For a couple of hours she hung out with Jade and Mark, she didn't want to risk talking to Rowan as she might have been roped in to help and Mary – Lynette wasn't very good with saying the word 'no'. When it came to saying goodbye and dragging Mark out by his ears to get him to go home she found herself thinking about tomorrow, her first day of work.
Ok, I know that it isn't that long, again, but if you review it and like it (fingers crossed) I will write a longer chapter next time. Be honest.
