Chapter No. 1: Gone Cuckoo

So without a further ado here is the first chapter of A Love Like No Other.

Enjoy!

Amalie's POV:

Seriously who needs an alarm to wake up in the morning when you have best friends to wreak havoc early in the morning...? Ugh there goes my beauty sleep.

Sighing, I reluctantly get up from my comfy bed do my daily routine pull my hair in messy bun as I don't have any desire fix it just yet. Crash! That's it, they are hearing a million words from me!

I slip on my slippers dashed through the stairs through the living room to the kitchen.

"What the hell are you guys doing?"

They all slowly turn themselves around as if a deer caught in red light, guilt plastered on their faces.

"Umm... Well we were trying to make breakfast for you and well we kind of started umm..." Daniel didn't complete as my eyes widened at the horror in front of me.

"It's okay M, try breathing normally." My sub-conscious says.

"Easy for you to say! Try standing in my shoes." I mentally scuff.

"Look it's not easy but you can't blow on your friends." It replies.

"God! Are you on my side or theirs?" I ask completely pissed.

"You love them anyways."

"Oh shut up! You're not the one who has to clean up this mess."

"Well I am you, you do know that right?"

Lillian's blabbering brought me out of my inner conflict. "Look you always cook for us so we thought may be a change of things would be nice....?"

"Two words for all of you get out!" I pointed towards the kitchen door.

"B-but-" I cut of Lillian, by putting my hand in front of her, "I think you three should do me the favor of saving yourselves from hour's long lecture than me having a bad head ache which by the way is starting to brew now I am going to say this very nicely... *deep inhale and exhale* please get out." I point towards the door.

Without another word they left me to my work. Thank goodness today is Saturday otherwise I would be late for college and I don't know how I would have left the kitchen.

"Maria!" She is the mansions live in maid, but all of us refer to her as our second mother she is super sweet but get on her bad side well I don't think you would be able to live to see another day.

A lady in her mid-40's shoulder hair length tied with a hair clip and dressed casually approached the kitchen, "Yes, dear?"

"Maria, how could you those imbeciles in the kitchen." I almost shouted.

"Hey that's rude." Scarlett shouted from the living room.

"Well what did you guys expect?" I would be thrilled? In your dreams!"

Maria sighs, "I am sorry dear they said that they wanted to whip up some quick breakfast and have your permission... I thought, that you have gone cuckoo to allow them but you were sleeping to soundly so I didn't wake you up and went for some grocery shopping well now I am in front of you."

"Oh my, I am so sorry Maria I didn't see you holding those groceries let me help me take them. Are there any more?" I say apologetically, as my gaze falls on the heavy groceries Maria is holding.

"Thank you Amy! And yes there are more in the front I will get those." Maria says.

"No, Mimi, I'll ask those 3 to take care of it at least they can't make a mess with just carrying those things."

Mimi is the nickname I gave her and soon all of started to call Maria that. I remind Mimi of her daughter who died in an accident. Her name also started with A so, she asked me if she could call me her daughter's nickname. I liked it so immediately said yes.

"On a second thought, I think I will accompany them, they can destroy anything if I am not with them, umm in the meantime Mimi could you set the ingredients for today's breakfast?"

"Sure Amy, good choice."

With that I left the kitchen and head to the living room where all of them are seated looking like children who have been just punished....... Though the sad truth is I am youngest in the house. The twins Daniel and Scarlett are 2 years older than me while Lillian is 3 months older than me.

"Come on, you guys let's get the groceries and set them and then you guys can help clean the mess in the kitchen. What do you say?"

Ugh! They whip around their faces in my direction and their smiles are wider than the Cheshire the cat from Alice in Wonderland and that's saying something.

All three at once leap towards me and envelope me in a bone crushing hug. Making me fall backwards

"God! Get off of me! You guys weigh a ton!"

"Sorry, M, we thought it would be nice to let you relax once in a while...." Daniel is cut off by his twin, "Besides you are always busy and also make sure we are fine so we thought this would be a good way to say thank you."

Lillian stretched her arm to me and holding it I got up from the ground. "Thanks Lil's and you guys are forgiven. And wouldn't it be better to learn cooking than try doing it?"

They all nod eagerly. We reach the door and pick up the groceries and head for the kitchen where Mimi set up everything and was now cleaning the mess.

"No Mimi please don't clean up our mess, I promise this time we really do have permission from M, to help clean up..... So please take the day off?" Lil said.

Mimi looked towards me, I nodded than she looked towards all of us, "look children I know all of you are sincere and want to take the day off but I don't know what to do."

Scarlett clapped bringing our attention towards her, "Well then why don't we have breakfast clean up the mess and all of us go shopping?"

Scarlett and shopping are two S that should never together! Believe she is awesome but when it comes to shopping she becomes a nightmare! And a nightmare that haunts you forever.

We all groan but Mimi doesn't have to put with the horror so smiles and says, "What a splendid idea! Dear! I think 11 am would be good to go what about all of you?"

She looks at our horror stricken faces, and asks, "What is it Amy, everyone do you not want to do it?"

"Of course we are thrilled, it's just that we were caught off guard, right girls?" Daniel says, trying to cover up.

I and Lil both nod in agreement. "Alright than, kids be ready by 11 than at 2 we can have lunch outside does that sound like a plan?" Mimi asks.

"Yup! Definitely! Thanks Mimi you're the best see you." Scarlet says beaming with joy. With that Mimi leaves and immediately all of us on cue turn towards Scarlet with blazing eyes.

"You are the last person we want to go shopping with sis, you are the definition terror" Dan groaned.

"Hey! I am not. Take that back!" Scarlet fake pouted.

"Look I love you, Scarlet but Dan is right...." Lil sighed big time.

"M, look at those two they are ganging up against me!"

I knew we would give in eventually so in the meanwhile I started making the batter for pancakes and almost done with the preparations. When I looked at Scarlett and sighed, "Ohh really than why did I slept the whole day through college to the point I had a visit to the principal's office? Or the other time you got into a cat fight with a final pair of shoes in that and by the time we pulled you apart we saw you even dragged the manager into the fight, the poor guy was traumatized, and the police even almost arrested you?"

"In my defense, those shoes were worth the fight, and it was that pigheaded woman's fault for not letting me have them when I asked her nicely!" Scar scoffed.

"By nicely you said and I quote, 'give up that pair bitch otherwise you're gonna regret it!' I was there! Scar you should've just let have it you already have so many shoes I don't know how you make space for them!" I shouted, my anger bubbling. And I tried my hardest to not let my pancakes feel the wrath I was feeling from remembering that day..... God! That's just plain gruesome.

"Look M, that girl hurt Dan so I thought why not kill two birds with one stone..... You know the awesome history we share right?" Scar said seriously.

"I know but still you should've been more careful! And even besides that you are crazy and well I don't how much more of this craziness we can handle!" I groaned.

"Alright, how about a deal?"

Well this ought to be worth hearing.

"What deal twin?" Dan asked intrigued.

"I will take you all to the fanciest restaurant in the city and it's completely my treat if you let me do the shopping? My way?" She said wiggling her eyebrows.

Dan and Lil narrowed their eyes, and Lil said, "make that 2 months and all weekends!"

"Hmm, sounds like a plan ok-" I cut Scar off, "I get to drive your favorite black Lamborghini for a whole 3 months." I said, internally doing happy dance because she doesn't anyone touch that car.

"What no way!!!" Scar screeched.

"Well it's that or nothing your choice Scarlet...." I casually shrugged knowing I am gonna win.

"Fine! But on the condition that M, 2 weeks straight I can have any sort of breakfast I like!" Now it's my turn glare and narrow my eyes towards her. I know her so well she loves sugary things and breakfast well don't ask!

"It's either that or no deal M."

Putting the final touches on the pancakes I rinse my hands and then shake my hand with Scarlet's already drawn one. "But everyone follows the routine!" I said clearly and with authority. Lil and Dan groaned. And with that everyone left to change including me as Mimi said she wants to serve it.

I changed into my casual attire which I would go with for shopping.

I went for shoes on purpose because the amount of walking I am going to put up I don't want to imagine.

Well as I would say in these cases even if all of hell let lose now there is no stopping from another traumatizing shopping! Wish me luck!

This is the first chapter please let me know your thoughts thank you!
