It's late
"Bang, bang, bang" Leah woke up to the sound of her front door knocking, "Ding dong, ding dong" went the bell, she rolled over to check the time on her clock on her bedside table, 1:40 am it read.
"You got to be kidding me" she breathed, "who would be calling round at this ridiculous hour. The banging on the door became continuous and she leapt out of bed
"Ok, ok, I'm coming" she mumbled pulling on her dressing gown. She gently placed her feet into her slippers, wondering who it could be at such an unsociable hour. She shook her head as she finally left the comfort of her cosy bedroom. Walking down the hall of her one bedroom ground floor flat. The banging on the door had become pounding on it now,
"Jeesh, hammer down the door why don't ya" she mumbled, getting to the door she unlocked it, to find her two brothers standing there, they looked frustrated as they both pushed their way past her,
"Great, just come in why don't ya?" She grumbled
"You don't mind do ya" Francis, her older brother remarked, she looked at him for a moment
"Do I get a choice here?" She questioned, looking at them both
"I told you she wouldn't be happy" Luke stated
"Why would I be happy it's quarter to one, in the morning?" She reminded them. "Most people call in the mornings" she added
"Technically it's morning" Francis replied
"You know what I mean! So what have you both done this time?" She asked them, as she folded her arms.
"Why would it mean we've done anything? Can't we just visit our baby sister?" Francis asked.
"You could, but you only ever do when you're in trouble, so what happened?" She pointed out, knowing her brothers well.
"Nothing for you to worry about little sis" Francis said,Luke fell quiet, telling her she was right.
"Of course not" she replied rolling her eyes at them.
"Come on, you know you're not gonna kick us out, so just enjoy our company." Francis told her. She followed him into the living room.
She admired the room as she walked into it, she had not long decorated it.
It was a small room with two white leather sofas she had the back wall painted a dark purple, the wall that had the television on was the feature wall with a featured wallpaper, she had a purple fluffy rug, with a black oval glass coffee table. She loved the open fireplace as it fitted in well with her living room.
She watched as Francis threw himself down into the sofa under the window
"I like what you've done here," he commented
"Did you do it yourself?" Luke asked her.
"No, Jackson did the wallpapering for me" she admitted
"Looks good here"
"Thanks, you still haven't answered my question" she to them,
"There's nothing to tell" Francis lied.
"Shame I don't believe you, ain't it" she replied truthfully.
"Always doubting" Francis remarked
"Well past events I think I have cause to be" she answered
"What food have you got?" Luke asked her
"Go and have a look, just make yourself anything that's in there, could you feed moggie to please" she asked him referring to her tabby cat.
"Sure" he answered leaving the room.
"Well make yourselves comfortable for the night, you know where blankets are, I need some sleep. Some of us have work in a few hours" she stated and with that exchanged good nights to them and headed back towards her room.
