All your fault

They wrapped up the whole birthday celebration at 8am, and since they were up all night, they did not open the store that morning. Instead, they all retreated to their various rooms. Chinju and Zairo had to swap rooms, giving Zairo his original room back, because he and Jato were to share the same room now.

Old man said he didn't want Jato in his room anymore because he talked a lot in his sleep. But they made sure the room was spacious enough for Chinju. The room wasn't actually that small, there was just a lot of rubbish there. And Old man made sure that all the rubbish moved with Zairo... So the room was big enough for her...

*******************

Jato was the first to wake up, and that was around 3 in the afternoon. He looked at Zairo who was still fast asleep, he was wearing only his shorts, he had his bare chest facing the ceiling.

Jato suddenly felt the urge to slap him.., thinking about it alone brought a sly smile to his face.. He lifted his hand high up, spread his fingers apart, and brought his hand down...

But it did not land on Zairo's chest. Instead Jato was the one screaming out because Zairo wasn't really sleeping. He had woken up about thirty minutes before Jato, but just lazily laid there. He was not ready to part with the bed yet. So when Jato tried to ambush him, he instead grabbed a hold of his arm, causing jato to fall flat on his chest, and Zairo still held onto the arm, locked it under his armpit in a way that made Jato scream....

Jato screamed but Zairo was not ready to let go. He was obviously having fun. But he was not expecting what Jato did next.. With his arm still locked under Zairo's armpit, Jato lifts himself up, also lifting Zairo of the bed with the one arm, and then with all efforts, slams Zairo back on the bed... Causing Zairo to finally let go of his arm...

They both laid there breathing heavily..., then amidst the heavy breaths, they started laughing like two mad people...

"Why can't you two wake up like normal people huh?? It was Old man.. Their shouting had woken him up..." Good morning Old Man"....

"have you lost your senses, are you not seeing the clock?? It's already 3:15am and you are greeting good morning huh??....

They both looked at the clock like they had actually forgotten that they were not in the morning anymore...

" since you guys woke me up.., you will face the consequences... Get dressed both of you, here is a least of things that we don't have in the store. Go to the market and get them...and here is another list of things we have run out of in the house.. Get them too...

"Ahhh... Old man come on you said we could take the day off, and besides we always shop for the house and store differently, so why are we to do both today?? Zairo said pouting...

" it's your punishment for waking me up. Now get up and get dressed, or you can go like this. Either way is fine with me".... He said his piece and went out of their room. Though they were older now, he still treated them like kids. He would praise them when they did something good and did not hesitate to punish them when necessary....

Zairo ran his fingers through his hair roughly in frustration..,

"this is all your fault" he suddenly turned to Jato... Jato who saw the fire in those blue eyes was already sliding himself away from Zairo, because he knew what was going to follow that statement...

"Zairo just calm down alright.. Calm .... Before Jato could complete his words, Zairo dived at him, but fortunately for him, he was quick enough to escape out of the room, and Zairo followed him, chasing him round the house....

Chinju was still asleep.... She was not the kind of person you would call a light sleeper. It took a whole lot of things to wake her up... Except when she woke up on her own... But if you try to wake her up, then you would at least need to pour water over her head to do that....

"why do we have to go and Flatty is still sound asleep?? Zairo who had finally calmed down said in a pout..." because she wasn't the one who was punished"....Jato replied.. But his reply only earned him a killer stare from Zairo...

"I don't care. If I have to go shopping, then she must come too"...zairo said.. Jato just shook his head...

"how are you going to wake her up?? Jato whispered to Zairo who was already going into Chinju's room... He was right. That girl is something else. How will he wake her up he thought....

" get me some water quickly"... Jato just looked at him in disagreement but still went to bring the water...

"you know she does not like people in her room. If she sees you there, she will scream the roof away... Jato warned.. But Zairo did not want to listen right now. He just wanted her to come with them...

He carefully entered the room, Jato stood at the door looking at him and the magic he was about to perform....

Zairo knelt down beside her bed like a guy about to propose, only that the ring in this case was the bowl of water. He lifted the bowl above her head, and was about to pour the water when...

"Zairo if I need a shower, I know where the bathroom is!! Chinju said firmly, as she flipped her eyes open... She was awake so there was no need to pour water on her. But as her eyes flipped open, it sent a shock down Zairo's spine and his hands slipped, so the water still ended up on her face.
