Why????
The next morning Caitie awoke to the sound of the busy Manhattan traffic outside her window. She looked at the digital clock sitting on a table by the bed. The red, glowing numbers read 7:13. Caitie groaned outloud and turned away from the window trying to get more sleep. She suddenly realized where she was. Her room didn't have too many posters of ska bands and pictures of the EMS squad. She didn't have a guitar sitting propped up against one wall. And she certainly didn't have hundreds of cars passing by her window at such an early hour, well, truthfully, hundreds of cars never passed by her window. Caitie immediately sat up wondering if anyone else was awake. She slowly crept out of bed and made her way out of the room, her bare feet slapping against the dark hardwood floor. She reached the door and slowly turned the brass knob and to her surprise a little girl, looking remarkably like Jamie, was standing on the other side, looking as though she were about to come in.
"Hey Molly" Caitie greeted wearily, still half asleep.
"Caitie!!" the little girl cried dropping her peach colored baby blanket and wrapping her arms around the weary and tired Caitie Roth. "Caitie Caitie Caitie!"
"Hey kiddo" Caitie smiled at Molly with sparkling brown eyes.
"C'mon! Mommy its time for breakfast! Everybody's waiting!" Molly said as she jumped up and down.
"Why didn't you guys already eat?"
" 'Cause we were waiting for you, silly!" Molly giggled as she grabbed Caitie's hand and pulled her to the dining room.
Caitie stood in the hallway to find a very sleepy Jamie, his head propped up with his left hand, his mother, Christine still setting the table, and a tiny bundle of energy, also known as Sami Waite, the youngest of the Waite children. "Caitie Caitie!!! You's really are here!!" Sami cried getting up from the table and running over to Caitie.
"Hey there munchkin" Caitie greeted giving her a hug.
"C'mons, you's gots to sit with me! C'mon, c'mon!" Sami cried pulling on Caitie's black pajama pants.
"Nooo, you gotta sit with me!" Jamie mocked grinning.
"No way!" Molly said shaking her head. "She's sitting with us" Molly stuck her tongue out at her older brother, her hands still holding on to Caitie's purple t-shirt. "C'mon"
Caitie couldn't help but laugh, the little girls were so cute, and they really loved having Caitie around.
"You sit here" Sami said pointing to the chair she was sitting in, which just so happened to be next to Jamie. "And me and Molly will sit here" she said pointing to the chair next to her. "Don't worry we'll fits in it. We're tiny"
"So how'd you sleep?" Caitie asked Jamie who still looked a bit tired.
"Eh, ok I guess. You?" He asked
"Actually, I slept great" she replied a slight grin pulling across her lips.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah" he said shaking his head. Caitie tried to stifle her laughter knowing Jamie didn't have exactly the most comfortable nights sleep.
"Omlet anyone?" Christine called as she popped her head out of the kitchen. "Ah, Caitie glad to see you're awake, did you sleep well?"
"Oh, yes I did, thanks" Caitie replied
"That's good dear. Would you like an omlet or something? Maybe some fruit, or maybe just some cereal?"
"I'll just have some cereal, thanks"
"I don't know what it is with you kids" Christine sighed shaking her head "I can make just about anything you want, and everyone always wants cereal"
Everyone laughed as Christine brought out the different boxes of cereal and a carton of milk along with bowls, and spoons. "Kids these days" Christine sighed and grinned a little bit.
Molly and Sami immediately grabbed for the box of Cocoa Puffs. "Hey! I had it first!" Sami cried
"Did not! I did!" Molly argued.
"Here you two" Caitie said as she took the box out of both their hands and poured some into each of their bowls. She then grabbed the milk out of Jamie's hands and poured it into Molly's and Sami's bowls.
"Hey" Jamie said looking shocked and poking at his dry frosted flakes.
Caitie laughed "Ladies first" she said giving Jamie a sly grin
"I'm so out numbered here" Jamie said shaking his head.
"Yep, that's right" Caitie smiled and grabbed the box of Frosted Flakes from beside Jamie and poured some into here bowl. She then followed with the milk and then placed it in front of Jamie. "There ya go"
"Thanks" he said picking up a flake and throwing it at Caitie.
"Hey!"
"Oh, oops, it must have slipped" Jamie grinned evily.
"Sure it did" Caitie replied
"Ok, everyone, I gotta run" Christine called as she slipped on her shoes and turned on the TV.
"Where are you going?" Caitie asked a bit confused.
"Oh I forgot that I have to be at work today and if I don't leave now, I'll be late. Molly, don't forget you piano practice at Mrs. Crawfords, and Sami, Angela and Shelly will be here to pick you up for dance practice and then you have to head straight for your reading session, ok?"
"Ok, Mommy" the two little girls replied in unison.
"Bye Dears" she said giving Molly and Sami a kiss on the cheek and giving Jamie a kiss on the forehead. "Jamie, don't sit around the house all day. You and Caitie should go somewhere, have some fun, ok?"
"Sure Mom, bye" he said as she was leaving.
"Bye Caitie! Make sure you hit Bloomingdale's!" She called as she headed out the door
"Bye Chris! I will"
After Molly and Sami had both gone to do their regular Saturday morning activities, and both Jamie and Caitie had changed their clothes, Jamie looked at the clock. "Great, its only10:30, we have the whole day. What do you want to do?"
"You heard your mom, Its off to Bloomongdale's" Caitie grinned
"Oh no, a day of shopping with you, that's all I need" Jamie groaned as he grab his leather jacket.
Caitie giggled, "c'mon, you know it'll be fun"
"Uh huh, I bet"
Ok, that's the end of chapter 3. Hope you liked
it. Chapter 4 may be out soon, maybe not, I don't know. I have SATs coming up and I don't know if I'll
have time to write much of anything. Adios for now! J
