Abbie groaned softly at the picture the woman painted.  “I really shouldn’t, I was supposed to be going to catch up with some paperwork…..but damn that bacon sandwich sounds amazing.”  She gave a small chuckle, “And if I’m being honest my own head isn’t feeling too great either.”  Handing over the packet Abbie shrugged, “Give me two minutes to grab a couple of things and then we can go and indulge in double stacked bacon sandwiches.”

Lauren smirked as Abbie groaned, knowing that feeling all too well.  “Oh c’mon.  A bacon sandwich wins over paperwork every single time.  And the paperwork will still be there after the sandwich, but the sandwich may not be there after the paperwork,” she said with a smirk.  She took the packet and nodded.  “I need to grab a bottle of water to get some of these down me as soon as possible, meet outside when we’re done?”  Once she got confirmation she grabbed a few other things and headed to the checkout, then loitered outside the store waiting for Abbie.  She tried her best to look like she was simple waiting for someone but still attracted a few funny looks from passers by who clearly thought she was up to something.

“That… that is a valid point. Honestly, I don’t think I could counter that, but then that just sounds dangerous!”

“Oh it’s not dangerous at all really, I’ve fallen off roofs loads of times before and only broken something... a few times,” Lauren explained with the air of someone describing something completely mundane and waved her hand.  “If it works I’ll pull you up with me.  Have you ever star gazed from a roof before?”

Eddie’s expression was somewhere between an eye roll and a laugh as Lauren tried to pretend she could not have upset their mother.  “Lucky me,” he teased lightly at the idea she had come to see him.  His hand was already reaching for his phone before she even answered his question.  There was no real question in his mind if they would be ordering dinner.  “So what is it to be?  Pizza, Chinese, curry?

Lauren grinned.  “Oh I know, do you have any idea how many people would love to have such a caring and considerate sister as me?  You really do have top tier sibling rankings with me in your life,” she replied in a tone full of sass.  She knew she hadn’t got away with dodging the question about their mother but she fully intended to dodge it for as long as she could.  “Hmmm...” She put on a thoughtful face and took another large bite of chocolate, which she had no intention of stopping eating despite the offer of food.  “We haven’t had Chinese in ages, let’s do that.  I’ll try not to go quite as mad as I did last time... your fridge can’t handle that many leftovers.”

“Nice to see you too Buttercup.  How did you upset Mom this time?” he asked as he entered the kitchen, sighing as she was clearly already raiding the fridge.  “Holly’s helping her dad so the credit card is safe,” he explained as he leaned against the counter.  “Are you planning on cooking or shall I order in?”

Lauren rolled her eyes at the nickname, realising too late that she couldn’t be seen as her head was still in the fridge.  The comment about their mother had her turning around, with a large piece of chocolate dangling out of her mouth.  “What makes you think I upset her?  Can’t a girl just want to come and see her big brother?”  She retorted, attempting to sound innocent but failing miserably.  She took another bite of her chocolate and laughed.  “Well, as far as I know we haven’t mastered Star Trek replicator technology yet, so it’s probably best you order in.”

“You could but the coffee will dehydrate you.  I do approve of the bacon sandwich however.  In fact it sounds like a wonderful idea,” Abbie replied with a  grin.  She turned the packet over and tipped her head side to side, “They won’t knock you out but they will relax you a bit and kill that headache.”

“Yeah but it’ll also wake me up and make me less zombiefied soooo...” Lauren said with a shrug, laughing softly.  “Mmmm, double stacked bacon sandwich from the Sizzle Griddle has to be the best in town, right?  Plus they make a mean coffee in the morning, care to join me?”  Lauren laughed again and smirked.  “I’ll go with these, I can even tell Mom I have drugs to relax me, maybe then she’ll get off my back about constantly bouncing around.”

Lauren had made it all the way through the house and was helping herself to the contents of the fridge by the time her brother realised she was there and came to find her.  “I’m not being screamed at so I assume I’m not interrupting and Holly is out,” she said, still with her head in the fridge.  “Did you put a tracker on her or are you just following the trail of credit card receipts?”

“Wait, what? That sounds super sketchy, not gonna lie. Are you sure that’s a good idea?”

@aldridgestarters​

“Of course it’s not a good idea, it’s one of mine!”  Lauren retorted with a laugh and pointed to a nearby house.  “But how else can I get onto that roof unnoticed?”

doctorabbie​:

“I have to agree with you on that one,” Abbie nodded as she watched Lauren pick up the box with amusement.  “You might want to try these ones and some orange juice,” she added as she reached for a different box.

“Can I switch the orange juice for coffee and a bacon sandwich?  They’re normally my go-to,” Lauren explained with a smirk and took the other box of painkillers which were ones she didn’t recognise.  “These aren’t really strong ones which will put me on my ass for the rest of the day are they?  As much as I’d love to sleep all day I really shouldn’t.”

“I swear it is too early to be up on a Saturday morning!”

@aldridgestarters​

“Saturday mornings should be exclusively for lay ins and hangover recovery so being up before noon should be made illegal,” Lauren agreed a little groggily as she reached for the painkillers on the shelf in front of her.
