9pm Sunday (California)

Kristen and Stephine was seated on the big sofa's in the Sitting room, watching one of their favourite channels when the Maid (Helena) walked in.

"Excuse me girls" Helena said politely, trying as much as possible not to offend the girls.

Kristen and Stephine turned their gaze at her as Stephine huffed when she discovered it was the maid.

"Have you taken your bath today?" Stephine asked and Helena stared at her speechless.

"Have you suddenly gone deaf? Answer the damn question now!" Kristen roared making Helena gasped.

"No...No... I've been busy all day. I wanted to pass an information to you girls before heading to the bathroom to..."

"Just say what you wanna say and get the he.ll out. Your body stinks" Stephine cut her off, glaring at disgustingly.

"Your dad sent me to tell you guys to switch off the television, it's time for sleep" Helena replied and Kristen gawked at her.

"We'll go to bed when we're done with the movie" Kristen replied.

"But your Dad said..."

"Shut up" Stephine cut her off rudely. "Are you blind? Can't you see we aren't done with the movie yet? Get out!" Stephine yelled.

"Now! Bounce!" Kristen added but Helena summoned the courage to stay back.

"I'm sorry, Your dad told me not to leave until i'm sure you girls have return to your room." Helena said perfuntoniry as Stephine stood up in suprise.

"Have you lost it?" Stephine yelled and landed a hot resounding slap on Helena's face.

Kristen's mouth went open. She wasn't expecting Stephine to go that far by slapping Helena.

Helena too was shocked as her palms went to her face.

She felt hurt and a tears almost dropped from her eyes.

"Let this be the first and last time you'll ever pokenose into i and my sister's affairs" Stephine warned and returned to where she was sitting.

Helena turned and walked away in anger.

"Sis, i think you went too far. You shouldn't have slapped her" Kristen said.

"That bit.ch deserves it. Who the he.ll does she think she is? I wonder why Dad employed such a disgusting thing" Stephine said without any remorse.

"Anyways, let's continue our movie" Kristen stated and faced the TV.

***********************

Mr. Harold was in his room, sitting on the bed and operating his phone when he heard a knock on the door.

"Come in" His broad voice ushered in as Helena walked into the room with a sad face.

"What's wrong? You're looking sad" Harold asked with keen interest.

"The Kids.... They, They refuse to go to bed and i told them that i'm not leaving until they switch off the TV, Stephine slapped me" Helena narrated as Harold's ears widened.

"Stephine did what?" Harold asked not believing his ears.

"She slapped me and warned me never to interfere in their business" Helena confirmed.

"What!!!" Harold exclaimed and got off the bed.

"You know what; i'm so sorry for whatever the kids have done to you, i promise it won't happen ever again" Harold apologized while Helena nodded.

"Come with me" Harold held Helena's hand and they both left the room.

***********************

The Movie ended sucessfully.

"Hah! Thank God it wasn't a tragedy movie. I'm not ready to shed tears tonight" Kristen laughed.

"At last they became lovers, i wish i can find a boy like Tyler" Stephine said dreamily.

"Let's go to bed before Dad meets us here" Kristen said as she switched off the TV.

As soon as she dropped the TV Remote, Their Father walked into the dinning.

"Stephine, Why did you slap Helena?" Harold asked.

"Dad, She was at fault. Kristen told her that we'll go to bed when we are done but she wouldn't listen" Stephine defended.

"That's why you slapped her? I've told you countless times to always respect your elders but you girls won't listen. Why?" Harold asked angrily.

"Dad, she..."

"Shut the trap! Shut your mouth this minutes. I'm so mad at you right now. I told your late mother before she died that i'm gonna take care of you girls but you girls keep making everything worst for me" Harold half yelled.

"I'm so dissapionted in you, same as your mom in the grave..." Harold scolded.

"I'm sorry, dad" Stephine said sadly.

"Keep your f**king in apology to yourself!" Harold yelled.

"Dad, you don't use the F Word" Kristen said sternly.

"I Don't care!"

"Let this not repeat itself ever again." Harold scolded and walked away.

He got to the doorpost and faced Kristen.

"And you, i'm highly dissapionted at you!" Harold said sincerly and stormed out of the sitting room while Helena left too.

Stephine stared at her sister who was giving her a 'I-Told-You' look.

"Dad is really mad at us... You shouldn't have slapped her.

"I Swear, Dad is gonna pay for this. Trust me!" Stephine uttered and walked away angrily.

Kristen heaved a sigh and followed her sister.

"Tommorow is gonna be a tough war. I can sense it" Kristen mumbled as she headed to her room.

"You've been with your phone for some minutes now. Aren't you gonna sleep?" Kristen asked facing Stephine.

"I'll do that when i'm feeling dizzy but now, i'm enjoying a good time with me boyfriend" Stephine said and giggled.

"You seem so obsessed with your boyfriend" Kristen said and Stephine nodded shyly.

Stephine's boyfriend is Raymond and they attend the same School 'DIAMOND HIGH'

"I Love him so much! I can't do without him" Stephine stated and giggled.

"I Just pray he doesn't break your heart" Kristen muttered as Stephine turned and shot her a suspicious stare.

"Why would you say such a thing? Raymond loves me so much!" Stephine confirmed.

"I Know but don't you think you're too young to be in a relationship?"

"Right now, all you should be thinking is Book before boys not boys before book" Kristen tried to convince her.

"High school relationship and bound to..."

"Kristen stop!!!" Stephine cut her off rudely.

"Can we please not talk about this? I can't... I can't even imangie breaking up with Raymond so let's end this discussion" Stephine demanded calmly.

"Goodnight" Kristen said and covered herself with the duvet.

"Gosh, You just ruined my mood" Stephine groaned and dropped her phone on the bed before driving into sleep.

Next Morning (6am California)

"Krrrrrggggg" the alarm ran loudly waking Stephine and Kristen off thier sleep.

The two girls yawned loudly stretching their hands on the air.

The morning rays of sun reflected on their body making the atmosphere to be wonderful.

"Good morning, sis" Kristen greeted.

"Morning" Stephine replied, rubbing her eyes.

Almost immediately, the door opened as Helena walked in.

"Good Morning, Girls" Helena greeted politely.

"Keep your darn greetings to yourself!" Stephine said and Helena gasped.

What has she done this time around?

"How can you just barge into our room without knocking? Are" Stephine scolded angrily.

"Oops, my Bad. I'm so sorry. Let me do that now" Helena said and tried to leave the room.

"Hey lady, i'll advice you to go brush your teeth... The germs are visible!" Kristen threw at her and she gasped.

"What the he.ck do you wanna say this time around?" Stephine asked.

"Your dad..."

"We don't care!" The two sisters cut her off rudely.

"We don't wanna hear anything that has to do with our father to get the he.ll outta here!" Kristen yelled.

"You heard her right... Get out!"

"Now! Go!" Stephine yelled as they both watch her leave.

"Let's go take our bath and brush our teeth. I don't wanna be late for school. You know today is monday" Kristen stated.

Kristen and Stephine was done with their dressing.

They packed their bag and left their room.

Immediately they came out of their room, they met their dad approaching their room.

"Hey girls" Harold called with a smile.

"What do you want?" Stephine was the first to ask.

that was when Harold remembered that he yelled at them the previous night and might have possibly be mad at him.

"Oh! Not again" Harold groaned.
