JUST GOT LUCKY novel Chapter 16

CHAPTER 16

GOLFING

LINDY'S POV

The following morning, as soon as I opened my eyes I stretched my arms out and moaned while hearing my spine making a sound. I moved my head to my phone and grabbed it.

Your dog texted me btw. -Harold

It was already eight in the morning. It's probably noon at London. Did he mean Button?

I have a hamster, remember? It's on my wallpaper. And BUtton doesn't text, Harold. -Lindy

I stood up from my bed and walked to the kitchen. As I headed there, I noticed someone at the living room and saw Avery lying down on the couch. She was still on her sparkly dress, heels and looked terribly terribly wasted. I walked up to her and stared at her for a second. She was really sleeping and snoring! I started moving her to and fro.

"Avery. Avery wake up. Mom and dad's gonna see you like this when they get home. You'll get grounded again." I muttered to her.

"Hummmm hmmm way..." she mumbled with her eyes closed.

"Don't mumble your words I don't understand you. Get up already."

I pulled her arms and as she sat down on the couch.

"Did you just get home?" I asked her.

Right, why am I still asking her questions when she can't even talk properly. Ugh, she smells liquor and vomit. God, she stinks like her attitude.

I helped her up and walk to her room and even I placed her on her bed, got a few of her clothes and changed her. At least, if I lie to my parents that she's sleeping in her room I won't get busted too. I sprayed a little perfume on her before leaving her. No matter how she hates me and how I'm mad at her, for bullying me, I'm still her older sister for three minutes and I still need to take good care of her.

I headed to the kitchen, grabbed my cup from the drawers and made myself a cup of hot choco with mallows on top. I sat on a chair and opened Harold's message talking about this dog.

Jake. He texted me last night talking about your sister getting so drunk in a party. Telling me to come pick her up. -Harold

Why in the world are you calling Jake a dog? -Lindy

Jake the dog from Adventure Time? He kind of remembers me that cartoon. -Harold

I snorted.

You are crazy. -Lindy

So, has your sister come home yet? He told me he'll let her friends take her home in a cab. He said something like her and Ted had a fight. -Harold

No wonder she's home so drunk. I wonder what they fought about this time. I'm sure it's about Ted's side-dishes. He's such a dick.

Yup. She's home. Thanks for your concern. And why didn't you text or call me that Jake texted me last night? -Lindy

You were sleeping babe. Didn't want to wake you up. -Harold

I got on Twitter for a sec.

@lindyswanepoel: happy birthday to my beautiful mom! I love you forever.

I scrolled down along my home page. There bunch of tweets about love quotes, did you knows, girly things, and yes I follow Guinness Book of records. I paused and stared on a tweet.

@harry_styles: happy birthday to your mother! I wish her all the luck in the world and more blessings to come.

He didn't tag someone on it though. Why am I thinking too much? As if my mother is the only mom having her birthday today. Wow, 36.2K retweets and 59.3K favorites in just two minutes. I barely get a retweet or a favorite. This guy is really famous.

I got off my twitter and finished my cup of choco.

Ttyl, I need to take a shower and start doing groceries before my folks gets here. -Lindy

Alright babe. I'm always a text or call away if you need anything :) -Harold

I walked up to my room and took a shower. After preparing myself, I went out to the mall and started doing groceries. Yes, I've been saving for my mom's birthday. Honestly, I wanted to make her a cake but then I don't know how. So I decided to make her favorite pasta dish. Well, after doing groceries I'll definitely buy a gift for her too.

Oh shit, I forgot to bring the ingredients that I need! Holy cow! I stood there holding an empty basket on my hand inside the grocery store.

Busy? :) -Lindy

Not really baby. Just playing golf. Why? -Harold

I really need your help. -Lindy

Sure. What can I do to help you? -Harold

HARRY'S POV

I waited for my turn to play golf so I just stand here while my caddy was waiting for me too. Suddenly I hear my phone ringing, Lindy started calling my phone and I answered her call.

"It's a miracle you called me first. What can I do for you?" I said to her.

"I need you to look over a recipe. I forgot to bring the list of ingredients I need to buy and I cant connect to their wifi around here. PLEASE." She muttered.

I pulled my phone away from my ear and stared at it. But there was no wifi connection here. I pulled my phone back to my ear.

"Okay. But I'll call you back. This will just be quick." I said to her.

"Okay."

I moved my head to my caddy.

"Excuse me, do you have wifi anywhere here?" I asked him.

"Well we do have sir. But it's inside the building. Our signal can't reach the fields. We're sorry."

"Does it have a password?"

"Yes sir."

"Can you write it down for me?"

"Yes sir."

He hurriedly wrote it down with his pen and pad then handed it to me. I left him and walked back inside the lounge. I connected myself to their wifi and pulled my headphones out. I hurriedly got on google and dialed her number.

"Hello?" she answered.

"So, what's the recipe?"

"Oh thank god! It's Rigatoni with Marinara Sauce and Ricotta."

"Ri... ga... to.... ni.... Will you say it slower? I didn't quite get it."
