FADING-X-ROSE: Thanks for reading my fanfic! Come back soon! I'll be back
to read yours!
JAE: Well, you told me to hurry! Was writing another chapter but when I saw
your review I decided to be really obedient and write a new chapter (heck
about that other one I was halfway through, it wasn't very good and I
prefer this one).
"Wake up! Rise and shine! Woohoo!"
Ana groaned and rolled over, burying her head in the blankets. "It's too early, go away!" she moaned from under the covers.
"Can't hear you! Get up! Up up up!" The annoying person refused to leave. Instead, he seemed to be getting nearer, and his tone was increasingly cheerful and enthusiastic. He bent over her and shook her. Ana gave another moan and did the first thing that came to her foggy, half-awake mind: she swung her arm and hit that annoying, living alarm clock with all the force in her.
"OWWWWW! Gosh, is that how you treat your host?"
Host? Ana gasped, suddenly remembering that she wasn't in France. She sat bolt upright, suddenly very awake, and turned to see Jesse holding his nose, and looking like he was going to cry. "OH MY GOD! I am so sorry. My goodness. I totally forgot that I'm not at home in France! Are you all right?"
Jesse shook his head. "Is that what you do to Miles when he wakes you up? You're horrible, you know that? I even put on my happiest voice to start out your day good."
"Well, Miles doesn't wake me up. He just leaves me in bed and lets me get in trouble. I'm so sorry again. Did it hurt?" Ana went over to him to see if she had broken his nose. She was pretty strong.
He waved her away, obviously unhurt. "SHE never did such a thing," he muttered, thinking that Ana couldn't hear him.
"Who's 'she'?" she asked curiously. The way the family treated her showed that they hadn't had guests for a long time. Did Jesse have some interesting past? The journalist in her wanted to know more.
"Nobody," Jesse said roughly. "Come on, Mae made you breakfast." He left the room without looking back, leaving Ana puzzled. What made him so unfriendly, even angry, so suddenly? She shrugged and went to brush her teeth and wash her face, getting ready for breakfast with the Tuck family.
Breakfast with the Tucks was a merry occasion, like all their other meals. Mae had made waffles, with butter and maple syrup and strawberries, blueberries and even ice cream for the daring. They seemed to have no heed about diets, and when Ana remarked on it, Miles just laughed. "Why bother so much? We get enough exercise. You've only got one life, what's the use in spending it counting calories and vitamin pills?"
To that, Ana had no argument, and gorged herself at that breakfast with no guilt, which pleased Mae very much. Jesse didn't talk to Ana much during breakfast, but was cheerful and happy with everyone else. Ana observed that his behaviour also pleased Mae and Tuck greatly, something she didn't expect.
