Breakfast at Lee's

[Lee Dolus]

After last nights events you'd expect after all that stress I'd sleep in, right? nope, because my brother is living with me again, and he wants me to make him breakfast, well I haven't cooked in a while, I usually just get take out or something, Never the less, I donned my apron, pulled out my pots and pans and got to work.

And I managed to put together a pretty tasty looking meal, besides that some of the bacon is burnt, the hash browns are stale, and all the eggs are smashed open, so now it was time to call in Amorite.
"Amorite, breakfast is ready!" I yelled across the house as I sat down some dishes, then I waited a couple seconds, but, when I heard no footsteps I called out again, "Amorite?!" ...okay now I'm a little ticked.


I walked across the house to his room, which I heard the same song I heard thirty minutes ago playing still, I groaned, then knocked, "Amorite?!" still no response, I turned the knob and swung the door open, "Amorite breakfast is on the table!" then added, "And I've already told you to turn the trash down!"

[Amorite Dolus]

Amorite was slung out on his old childhood bed (which was far to small), feet up in the air, phone to his ear and eyes dazing off into the distance. It was like he was a teenager again, doing whatever he wished while ignoring all of Lee's requests.

"No really- yeah, I'm serious." Amorite said into the phone while holding up his hand towards Lee as a 'waitaminute', "Oh-ho, no you stop."

[Lee Dolus]

I tapped my foot impatiently, which, with each passing second became more frequent, and loud, "Amorite, hang up the phone, your food is going to get cold." 

[Amorite Dolus]

Amorite turned over to his brother and mouthed these words, 'One more moment!' before he turned to his other side and continued speaking into the phone.  There was a long string of 'so what did you do next', 'whoa' and 'I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN'.

Meanwhile the music still blared at intense levels. 

[Lee Dolus]

That was it, somewhere between the fifth, 'So what did you do next', seventeen 'whoas!' I lost all my patience, I stomped my way over to his CD player and unplugged the damn thing, "Hang up the phone NOW." He had fifty seconds before I unplugged the phone.

[Amorite Dolus]

"Heeeey!" Amorite yelled as the music was unplugged, "Fine, fine, I'M HANGING UP."

He briefly turned away from Lee and spoke back into the phone, "Yeah, I gotta go - you should see his face, yeah, just like old times. Okay, seeya later!" He hung up the phone and got up from his bed, "Okay, what was so important that you needed me to hang up right away?"

[Lee Dolus]

Man the nerve of this kid, waking me up early requesting breakfast and then forget about it? I bet my life savings that he already got himself a bowl of cereal, shaking my head, I took my apron off crumbled it into a ball in defeat,
"This is the last time I ever make you breakfast." I threw apron on the floor and walked out

[Amorite Dolus]

"Breakfast? AWESOME." Amorite stood up and marched right out with Lee into their cramped little kitchen, "So what did you make, it smells great!"

Amorite sat down on his chair, feet positioned on the table and a intent look on his face, "So you would never believe who I was talking to, remember Sara?"

[Lee Dolus]

I sat down motioning for Amorite to take his feet of the table, "Sara?" I could barely remember were I kept the cups now a days, but, the name Sara did sound familiar, "Is she the one with the disfigured nose?" I tried my best not to envision her face as I ate hash browns.

[Amorite Dolus]

"Well, yeah, that's not any better - but I heard she's apparently a real looker among the other bar rats scurrying around the city." Amorite snickered, "I'm THINKING about getting back together with her, what do you think?"

He removed his feet from the table reluctantly and slammed his hands on the table instead, "Bring on the grub already, bro!"

[Lee Dolus]

I blinked, "Do you want me to serve it to you?" I gestured to the plate in front of him, then to the plate on the table which the food sat on, "and for whatever worth my opinion matter to you, No, I don't think you should get back with her, last time she was here she stole One-Hundred and Twenty Thelos in jewelry."

[Amorite Dolus]

"She did steal all my jewelry, didn't she?" He sighed, "Well for whatever worth this is, that was after I cheated on her with her sister..."

He dished himself some food and began shoving it into his mouth systematically, "You know," he began, his mouth stuffed with food, "These hash browns are a bit stale."

[Lee Dolus]

Man have I really done that bad of a job at raising this kid? since day one I tried my best to teach him loyalty and honor, Don't be a sore loser, do not cheat, especially with your girlfriends sister, most importantly I told him never to insult the chef! which in To Chameno is basically the death sentence.

I dropped my fork onto my plate and leaned back, "hash browns are stale huh? maybe if you got of the phone when you supposed to this wouldn't happen."

[Amorite Dolus]

"Whoa, you're crowding my space here," Amorite said leaning back in his chair, "The hash browns may be a bit stale but they're damn good!" He quickly added with a weak smile.

With that Amorite went back to his food, only taking a break from his food when he had a chance to run it down with water. Finally finishing everything on his plate he pushed it to the side, "Ah, a full meal! What a beautiful thing!" He grinned a bit, putting his feet back on the table for speaking, "Hey, listen, I've got a proposition for you."

[Lee Dolus]

I motioned for him to take his feet of my table, again, "Last time you came to me with a proposition, you took most my Thelos cut them in half and tried to "spread" the wealth, remind me, how effective was that?" I slid my plate aside and took a sip of water.
