LIAM

Mom and Dad had been gone for over two weeks already , which meant Azura was here with us . Raven had gone early that morning to Kiara’s pack as they had some shopping t o do for the wedding . I don’t get how women’s shopping never finishes , but if they’re happy shopping , what more could I ask for ? Anyway , since Raven was gone , so I was stuck minding my adorable little sister . The only problem was that she’s a four year – old pup who has asked way too many questions and still picks her boogers , although she told me a few weeks ago she doesn’t … Lie . She had been fairly good to be fair , although she gets a bit emotional every time she gets off a video call with Mom . ” So Wiyam , what we do now ?

” She asked , rubbing her nose .I raised my eyebrows , it was past five in the afternoon . ” Well , I’m thinking , how about we make a nice meal for when Raven gets back ? It will be a nice surprise for her , what do you think pumpkin ? ” ” Oo Wiyam , I love the idea ! ” She said with her eyes wide with excitement . ” We make cake too ? ” ” Definitely make cake , Raven loves cake . But I’ll make cake … ” Can’t have her hands in the food .

I felt guilty at the thought , staring at the bundle of cuteness . ” Waven loves Wiyam too . ” She added and I gave her a small smile , ruffling her hair . ” And she loves Azura too . ” ” 1 She nodded and I gave her a tight hug . She was an observant child , and I knew that as she got older , she’ll begin to notice how some people treated her , their glances and their whispered remarks . I was going to protect her the best I could . ” Wiyam , do you miss Waven ? ” She asked , concerned as she stared up at me .

” I do , but can’t I hug my little sister otherwise ? ” I questioned . ” You can . Ok , Wiyam you cook , I go watch TV then you give me the leftover cweam . ” I watched her rush off before I got to work in the kitchen . She sure could be such a good girl . I had just put the roast chicken in the oven and was stirring the custard when I realised Azura was no longer in front of the TV .

Shit , I didn’t even realise when she left ! I could hear her steady heartbeat and rushed to check up on her , pushing open our bedroom door to see her sitting on Raven’s stool in front of the make – up table with several of her make – up palettes and lipsticks open . ” Look Wiyam , I bootiful . ” I looked at her .

Wow , she sure turned into a Halloween horror pumpkin overnight … Garish purple lipstick was smeared over her lips and all around it , her cheeks were a horrendous pink and her eyes looked as if someone had punched her a few times , and to make it worse , the liquid liner was spread all over her lids and around her eyes . Goddess . ” You were far more beautiful before baby girl . ” I commented quickly , going over to her . Shit , would Raven get mad ? She had totally wrecked half these powdery eyeshadows . “

No , I look nice now . ” She pouted at her reflection . Did she really think she looked good ? Shit , now I needed to get this all cleaned u p before Raven got back … ” Ok look , let’s get you washed up  ” No , no Wiyam ! I keep it on , I show H Waven I love her make up . ” ” No , if Raven sees you like that she might scream at how scary you look . ” I said , grabbing the wipes Raven used before showering . Wrong fucking sentence .

beautiful , if you want to wear make –

right now . The smell of something burning made my fall to the gas cooker . gaze Shit ! The custard ! Fuck , fuck , fuck ! ” One second , pumpkin ! ” I ran to the kitchen switching it off , the smell of burned custard filled my nose and I sighed . There goes that … She writhed and kicked wanting to be put down , so I took her to the

… her cheeks were soaking wet … I don’t trust kids … Our own mini joker now sat up , staring at me , and I could almost see the cogs in her brain working . ” Wiyam make

wash make – up . her face was hard to fight . ” But Wiyam like Waven wearing make – up . ” She sobbed . ” But my sister is

the make – up over her hands . ” I tell Mama that . ” She promised , looking so sorrowful my heart squeezed . Goddess , kids are hard .. ” It won’t be our secret ? ” ” No , Mama say never keep secrets from Mama . If anyone make me sad or upset ,

Mom and Dad were lounging on the beach . ” Baby girl ! ” Mom said , her smile vanishing when she saw Azura’s face . ” Mama ! Liam no like my make – up ! ” ” Fuck … ” Dad commented ,

” Yes , Liam will put some pretty pink make -up on you , ok ? I’m sure there’s something there , ok ? ” Mom replied , smiling ” Ok Mama ! Liam said you and Waven are ugly with no make – up . ” She added quickly .

sliced steak fries into the oil before I was once again in front of Raven’s make – up table . I had salvaged what I could from her palettes that Azura had dug in to and I was currently putting make – up on her face . Raven had mind linked not long ago

now smiling contently . ” Ok , now you watch TV and I’ll go set the table , Raven will be back soon . ” ” You pomised me coke and sweets . ” I looked down at

eyes on her , not trusting her to wander off again . When Raven finally opened the door , her scent hit me like a wave of calmness . I walked over to her before she even managed to put the bags down , pulling her into my arms and lifting
