Chapter 5
Sparrow awoke later that morning to the sound of muttering. She tried to ignore it for a little while, but it was very persistent. Finally cracking an eye open, she discovered Kristy absent-mindingly sipping a cup of coffee and pacing the room.
"I hope that wasn't suppose to be for me."
"What?"
"The coffee."
"Oh! Sorry." Sparrow went from sleepy to annoyed when hearing that.
"Kristy just for the sake of curiosity, WHY ARE YOU IN HERE?"
"Coffee."
"Which you have drunk.'
"Right." She seemed lost as to how to proceed. The girl who had been hanging out the side of a window less then 5 hours ago decided it was time to say what everyone had been thinking.
"Kristy, are you a little bit scared about the coming nuptials?"
"NO! Why would you ask that?" Sparrow just raised an eyebrow and glared at the cup in Kristy's hand.
"I love Nick."
"Of course you do."
"I'm going to marry him and I AM GOING TO BE HAPPY!"
"Or you're going to die trying!"
"PERCISELY."
"Let's celebrate such an important proclamation by you making me something to eat!" Kristy laughed and exited the room. Sparrow had done her duty, though she was still coffee and foodless.
Eventually Sparrow could no longer ignore the thought of coffee and dragged her lazy butt down to the kitchen. Both Kristy and Watson were there discussing flower arrangements for the wedding.
"Good morning, sleep well?" asked Watson. Before anybody could say anything, Watson hit Sparrow with a question not so easily answerable as the first one. "Where were you last night by the way?"
"Yes, what were you up to last night?" At that moment the coffee deprived Sparrow could have murdered the bride-to-be with a clear conscience.
"I'm fine," is all she said and headed to the coffeepot.
"Well that's good, but that doesn't explain the cops last night." Kristy with an unholy look of glee on her face turned toward her stepfather so she could see his reaction to that statement.
"You're the one that tried to break into Mrs. Quest's house?" asked Watson in a remarkably calm tone as he poured himself some orange juice.
"What! I didn't break into anybody's house! Well except for this one."
"This I have to hear," and he settled himself onto a chair.
"Can't say as though I remember." Sparrow took out a shot glass she had found somewhere and filled it with coffee.
"Well I can understand that. There have been so many insistences when you have had a brush with the police. Remember that time in Germany?"
"NOPE."
"Well I guess you wouldn't. That was a nasty fall you took when that police officer snuck up on you when you were illegally trying to climb a water tower to get a picture of a sunset. It cost quite a few Deutsche marks to spring you out."
"I haven't heard that one."
"Really? It nearly caused an international scandal."
"It did not!"
"Or how about when you tried to break into Pat's office? You tried to convince the security guard you were Pat's sister. Only problem though was Pat was Chinese. I still don't quite understand why you did that."
"Or how about that first time you came to visit Sparrow and."
"you nearly burned the house down," finished Charlie walking into the kitchen.
Sparrow left the shot glass of coffee on the counter and headed back upstairs carrying with her the near full coffeepot.
Anyway, that's it. The next chapter though is the wedding! Poor Charlie and Sparrow find themselves to be the only ones without a date. Oh what will they do?
