Wayward Uniforms

In no time, Aria and Ava rushed their way into the kitchen, even before Mabel could utter a single sound.

Mabel chuckled, seeing how happy the girls were. She continued sewing, for there was no time left.

Who needs to be yelled at by somewhat customers?

In a while, the girls barged out of the kitchen with plate filled with pasta.

"Spaghetti Bolognese!" Ava beamed.

"Our favorite, Ava." Aria squealed like a kitty in Disney junior.

Mabel who had almost gotten a mini heart attack based on the screams of the girls, sighed thereafter with her hand placed on her chest. "Whew! You girls frightened-"

"You're the best, Aunt Mabel!" They hugged her tightly, even before Mabel could complete her statements.

Mabel smiled and wrap each arms around them. She peck the top of their heads, "God bless your mother for you two are one of the best kids in the world."

Aww, think they are already used to that word as they never responded to that.

But instead, Ava and Aria took their plates of spaghetti Bolognese and head straight to the ugly yet ripped cushion where the Auch back black and white old model TV was located directly towards them.

They both sat like queens of Avalon, overtaking their thrones from the bad guys.

Mabel felt a bit bad. It's been a while since she last subscribed for the channels which mostly display lots of cool shows.

But so luckily for her today, The casagrades began to display in one of the bonus channels.

This bonus channels are made specially just for incasity. Whereby one is out of subscription and ran out of cash.

There is always one station to keep you company until you are fully loaded to subscribe again.

The casagrades O' amila is a Spanish cartoon. As soon as it begins, The girls quickly sat upright like five years old, impatiently waiting for a show to get started.

Mabel on the other hand felt a bit embarrassed.

"How much is it that I couldn't even recharge my TV decoder?" She murmured within her.

Even if she had, who's gonna watch it? Her who is 24/7 busy or her only son who is in college?

Nothing was more giving her joy than the face of the girls in her apartment.

It felt like she was their biological mother or she had known them for long.

The cartoon took the attention of the fifteen years old girls away. They began to eat faster while watching the show. It'd had taken that of Mabel as well, but she had to do her job to save up something for the subscription.

Now that she has companies, she need to subscribe. If not for herself but for her two new friends.

**

It was already 6:32. Mabel had round-off with the customer's dress and now ready for pick-up. She dialed the number of the pick-up driver.

In no time, the driver appeared outside the apartment, and Mabel posted to him the dress with the address of the collector.

It wasn't an hectic day for Mabel but she'd be lying if she said she wasn't tired.

And the girls?

Mabel glanced at her wristwat– Oh boy, she forgot. It had stopped working long ago. She just puts it on not to make sure her wrist is as naked as the snail without a shell.

Lots of things she needs to shop for herself and at the same time, lots of things she needs to cargo for her son in Washington. And that will cost more than just a penny bill.

The only phone which sounds like a radio whenever it rings. *Uh-huh, talking bout Mabel's cell phone.*

She took it, though the screen has had some thick scratch after falling and getting hit on the ground severally, based on Mabel's carelessness, she checked the time.

"Oh my, it's tracing down to 7!" She gasped with one palm covering her mouth. "The girls!" She was about to rushed in when they stood beside her.

Yawning and rubbing their eyes.

*Not again.*

Mabel breathe in relief. "It's almost seven, I'm sorry but your parents or guardians must be so worried about you two by now." Mabel concerned with hands rested on her 45 size wide hips.

Damn she gat good body curves and structure, just like a sculpture.

*Don't judge, That's her appearance, Believe it.*

Ava and Aria for one second, acted like they were deaf.

The two girls head back into the apartment. Trust Mabel with wide eyes, she barged in and grab their wrist.

*Maybe they didn't hear her clearly.*

She repeated, "It's almost seven, your pare–"

"Aunt Mabel, why are you chasing us out of your apartment?" Aria hesitated. Is it a crime to rent someone's apartment for just one night?

....

....

For seconds and minutes passed by, there was silence around Mabel. She became the dumb one.

No words.

Not a speech uttered.

She felt bad for asking the girls out. Though she wasn't chasing them out but it felt like.

They weren't prepared to leave, but Mabel as a parent, was more concerned about the parents of the girls. She'd barely forgot if the girls had told her they had a mother or not.

But one thing she remembered is *Our dad traveled to L.A for an official business and will be back anytime soon.*

What if he was back? wouldn't he be worried?

Mabel do love to meet the father or any relative of these two damsels. Anyone who is related to them by blood or by anything, should be as gorgeous as they are.

After the awkward silence Mabel gave, Ava and Aria sighed and glare at each other before turning towards Mabel once more.

"We took few clothes with us on our way here." Aria broke the silent.

"You what?!" (☉｡☉) Mabel got stunned.

Shoot me!

She didn't realize that the moment they stepped in earlier. But why? isn't this gonna sound like kidnapping or something.

No she's not ready to serve the police jail yet. Neither is she ready for the wayward uniforms.

Ava and Aria didn't give much time for Mabel to recover from her deep yet weird shock.

"You don't have to worry about anything negative, Aunt." Ava added. "We already talked this out with our grandma."

Are you sure about that? or you're just pulling my legs?

Mabel tried hard to believe the girls. She never said anything out but answered with a nod and a relieved smile of *Alright, you can invade my apartment if you wish.*
