I just want to thank all the reviews, this really means a lot to me! Here's a new chapter, I hope you like it. xx


Nicky didn't understand why she had to go get her sister with her mother. She is not a child anymore, she doesn't have to follow her mother everywhere.

"You know, I'm not going to set the house on fire if you leave me alone for a few minutes, Ma," Nicky said, looking amusedly at Red.

Red grinned wickedly. "I don't doubt anything, moy malen'kiy"

"I'm 15, you should start to understand that," Nicky rolled her eyes.

"I will not treat you like 15, until you start acting like 15." Red said as she parked the car in front of Tricia's school.

Nicky ignored the comment and looked out the window of the car waiting for her sister.

It wasn't long before Tricia showed up. Red honked the car and called for her youngest daughter. Tricia quickly found the car and ran to it saying goodbye to her friends.

Stepping into the car, Tricia tossed her backpack and lay in the backseat. "I'm exhausted," she huffed.

Red laughed wickedly. "I can see," she said looking at Tricia. "Now sit down and put your seat belt on."

Tricia sat down and was surprised by her sister's presence in the passenger seat. She was usually only released from school after Tricia. What the fuck is she doing here?

"Why are you here?" Tricia asked petulantly to her sister.

Nicky smiled. "Good to see you too," she rolled her eyes. "I was released from school earlier today."

"She was asleep during class and being rude to everyone around her." Red said with a stern look at Nicky as she drove.

"I knew it would happen," Tricia laughed at her sister.

"Yeah, she's grounded. Use that as an example, Trish, I don't want you doing this."

"I'm not going to do that, Mommy," Tricia chuckled.

"Okay, okay, I get it," rolling her eyes, Nicky did her best to ignore them. "Tricia is always the favorite anyway." She murmured.

"Aww, don't be jealous," Red squeezed Nicky's cheek, but soon the girl pulled away.

Arriving home, Tricia threw her backpack on the couch and walked toward the kitchen.

"No way! You're going to get that backpack and go straight to your room Tricia," Nicky scolded amusingly, playing with her mother's accent.

"Funny," Red tapped Nicky's head lightly. "Tricia take this backpack to the room and take a shower, you can have a snack later." Said Red on the way to the kitchen.

"I was just drinking water," Tricia replied as she walked back into the living room and grabbed her backpack. She went upstairs and did as her mother told her to.

"Ma, why didn't you open the market today?" Nicky asked curiously.

"I just had a lot to do around here, and because a certain little girl was getting into trouble at school." Red replied.

"This little girl must be a nightmare," Nicky joked as she picked up an apple to eat.

"You bet she is,"

"Anyway, I was thinking that now that I'm back in school, you could give me an allowance... for lunch?" Nicky asked sweetly and smiled at her mother.

"I've always packed lunch for you to take in. And besides it, the market is close to your school you can eat there." Red replied.

"Everyone will be eating McDonald's and I'll have to eat with my mommy? This is embarrassing, Ma." Nicky whimpered and took a bite of her apple.

Red laughed at her daughter's exaggeration. "You're not deserving an allowance, Nicky. And I'm going to love having my baby with me at lunch."

"Argh," Nicky grumbled, rolling her eyes and continuing to eat the apple.

After taking her bath, Tricia went downstairs and went to the kitchen to join her mother and sister.

"Mommy, I made 3 new friends today at school, it was super cool," said Tricia as she sat in one of the chairs.

"That's very nice, sweetie. Do you have homework?" Red asked.

"Who gets homework on the first day of school?" Nicky interrupted.

"Yeah, no one does that Ma, and most of the teachers are new. They're really nice, just the math teacher sucks." Tricia picked up a banana to eat.

"Math teachers are always a pain in the ass" Nicky picked up her cellphone and started sending messages to someone. "And only gets worse with time."

Red and Tricia continued to talk about the first day of school. Nicky ignored them completely. She didn't even notice when her mother asked her a question.

"Nicky, take a break with this cellphone" Red scolded.

"Huh?" Nicky looked at her mother.

"I'm talking to you, what you want for dinner?"

"Whatever," Nicky replied, putting the cellphone aside.

"Mommy, can we have lasagna?" Tricia asked. "I dreamed about it last night."

Red smiled at her. "Lasagna then." They started talking again and Nicky saw the opportunity to get back on her cellphone.

Xoxoxoxo

It was already night. They had just finished dinner and Tricia was watching TV. Nicky was already starting to follow her sister when Red interrupted her.

"Heey, not you young lady, you're going to help me clean up here," Red said, pushing Nicky to the sink.

"Why only me? Tricia also ate, she should help!" Nicky complained.

"Because you're the one who's grounded." Red replied.

Nicky just rolled her eyes and helped her mother with the dishes.

The work was done and Red decided to enjoy the company of her daughters a little. Nicky had chosen "The Breakfast Club" one of her favorite movies, and they watched together.

After the movie ended Red sent Tricia to bed and continued with Nicky lying on her lap in the living room. They were both watching the news for a few minutes, even with Nicky complaining all the time asking her mother to put on a better channel. After
a few hours Red decided it was time to send Nicky to bed so she didn't end up sleeping late again.

Looking at her wild-haired girl in her lap, she was surprised to see that Nicky was already asleep. She should be very tired.

"Baby," Red whispered as she stroked her daughter's hair. "Come on, let's go to bed."

"Mmmm." Nicky whimpered and rubbed her face with her hands. In a sleepy way she stood up, but didn't move a muscle to walk to her room.

Red smiled, hugged Nicky from behind and started to guide her up stairs. "Come on, baby," she said as she helped Nicky.

Nicky yawned and tried to open her heavy eyes as she walked to the room. Arriving there she just threw herself on the bed.

Red watched her daughter sweetly. "Nicky, you still need to put on your pajamas and brush your teeth."

"Nooo, I just want to sleep," Nicky murmured with her head buried in her pillow.

Red just laughed. Walking over to Nicky and leaving a wet kiss on her forehead, Red covered her. "Ok baby, good night."

Nicky was already asleep. She couldn't answer her mother.

Red turned off the lights, closed the door and headed for Tricia's room. She found her youngest daughter completely lying in bed. She must have been having such a dream.

Red left a kiss on Tricia's cheek, took the blanket that was already on the ground because of her violent sleep, and covered her daughter. "Goodnight baby," Red whispered and left the room.

I'm finally going to bed. She sent a text message to Gloria, asking for her toopen the market tomorrow. This was a long day and something told her that tomorrow will be even worse. But for now she could relax in the delightful comfort of
her bed.
