My roommate is okay with Gilbert:
Gilbert had come up with the bright idea to have 'family dinners' once a month since they didn't live together. As if working together seven days a week wasn't enough 'family time'.
Unfortunately, Ludwig had forgotten as he pulled up to his brother's car parked (crookedly and in his spot) in the driveway.
"He ran so fast, even I couldn't catch him! That's how he got the nickname West!" Ludwig heard the familiar cackle of his brother's laughter as he entered the living room. Gilbert was standing, well technically toppled over in laughter, with a beer in his hand. An'na sat balled up under her quilt, a beer cradled in her palms.
"Bruder," Ludwig interjected, "I'd forgotten you were coming. I haven't prepared anything."
The eldest brother caught his breath and dismissed the youngest statement with a wave of his beer, "We're fine West. Grab a beer, I'm just getting to the good stories."
In a sign of good faith, An'na raised her beer with a shy smile. Maybe he should sit, if anything to save An'na from having to deal with Gilbert alone longer than she already had.
A/N: My apologize for the delay in updates! CeCe, unfortunately had to get a root canal (darn my love for chocolate!). Ppfff, and those pain meds I have to take make me sleepy! In any case, writing chapters whist in unbearable pain is not as easy as it sounds. I hope I haven't kept you waiting too long. Updates should be more regular as I slowly heal!
Ciao!
