FEGG - G7 - Amanda - Chapter 5

 Nowadays, it was me who did all the work home. Mom just slept, watched tv or was out doing something. I was starting to get tired at her. I didn't like being the grown-up in this house.

 Sometimes I could blame the homework, and do them instead of cleaning the house. Or the guitar. I went to  guitar lessons after school, and sometimes I had homework in that too.

 It was nice playing guitar. I loved it. The ability to create music with just a wooden box was amazing. Someday I wanted to be famous. But who didn't want that?

 And it was soon time for the baby to come. We could feel it kick now and we could hear it too.

 When I didn't play guitar, clean or do my homework, I usually sat in the couch next to mom, talking about baby stuff.

 We could be sitting there, talking for hours. It was really nice.

But she never told me who the father was. And I never asked.

I didn't even know who my own father was, so the thing with dads didn't really exist in my world.

 Then finally one evening, mom drove to the hospital, and the next day she came home with my little baby sister. Both mom and I agreed to call her Juliette.

 Juliette soon grew up into a sweet little toddler.

 But still...

It was almost always me who took care of her. I don't know where mom went when I came home from school, but she didn't show up before it was bedtime.

 Even though I loved my little sister, it was really exhausting. I was really tired of taking care of everything, and go to school. All I wanted to do was to play my guitar.

 But I redecorated my room. It had black walls now and was very dark. But I liked it, it was cozy. And I hung up a lot of posters from magazines. It was all in my style now.

 Since my Juliette was born, I could finally get my tattoo, so today was the day. 

Lucky for me, I had Amanda, who could take care of Juliette. 

 Langsat recognized me immediately.

"Now it's time for my tattoo!" I said with a grin over my face.

"Is that so?" Langsat smiled. "So the baby is born?" 

 I nodded. "Yeah, it's a little baby girl. We named her Juliette."

Langsat smiled even bigger. "I love babies. Maybe I can meet her afterwards?"

"Of course you can!"

 I changed clothes and then we went inside a small room. I got a book full of tattoos, and I took like forever before I chose one.

 Then a few hours later, it was done! It was a sword, on my back. I loved it!

 "Thank you so much!" I said and I felt so happy! I looked forward to get home so Amanda could see.

 Langsat grinned.

"Why don't you come over for a cup of coffee?" I asked him.

He looked at the clock. "Well... I can always skip a few minutes from work. That's okay for me!"

 But when we got to my house, none of the girls were home.

"Amanda must have taken Juliette to the park..." I said.

Langsat looked around in the house.

 "But I can make you coffee anyway, I feel like I could have some too."

He nodded. "Yeah, thanks."

Before I could walk away to the coffeemaker, he pulled me closer and kissed me.
