"Lani!" Hikulani furrowed her eyebrows together in a questioning manner, she was close to finishing the episode on The Vampire Diaries, but Kaliko kept calling her name.
Pausing the episode with the Roku remote, Hikulani groaned getting up from the twin-sized bed, placing her 8 size foot in her house slippers.
Today was a Saturday, which was a rest day for Hikulani, well at least that's what she thought it was. She wanted to just chill today and catch up on her tv shows since she has been so busy throughout the week.
Passing by the off-white walls that were decorated with multiple pictures of the small family was showcased on both sides of the walls. Finally being met with the guest bathroom that was located on her left.
"What?" She stood behind her sister, gazing over at her currently pressing out her hair.
Thanks to their heritages that they were mixed with, it blessed them with really long, thick, curly hair. Hikulani loved her tight curls and embraced them on a daily. Meanwhile, on the other hand, Kaliko hated hers. She constantly had to flatten the curly dome, from it getting back curly again.
"I'm going out, so if you're coming cmon'." Kaliko quickly glanced over at her sister, seeing she was still dressed in her pajamas.
"You too old to be wearing hello kitty." Kaliko grimaced over at Hikulani's choice of clothing, turning the hot flat iron off.
Hikulani ignored her sister's ignorant remarks, "Where are you going?" She leaned on the bathroom wall placing one foot over the other.
"Prolly stop by over grama' house, be over in the Bronx for awhile, you still wanna get that shit you was wanting for your painting?" Kaliko turned towards her, wrapping the cords around the flat iron preparing to place the hot hair tool back in the cabinet.
"Grama back already? And yeah, but I can wait until my next pay." One of Hikulani's hobbies was painting. It took her mind off of things and it was also a great coping mechanism for her. She really enjoyed it when she did it. And plus, one of her friends suggested it, and so far she loved it.
"I guess so, you know how she be." Kaliko shrugged her shoulders walking out of the bathroom leaving Hikulani to her thoughts.
Their grandmother Namiko was always moving between her apartment in the Bronx and her apartment in Philly. Namiko constantly moved state to state being that she had a boyfriend in Philadelphia, so she wanted to be closer to him, but also be closer to her grandkids and son.
"Yeah, I guess I'll go. Daddy let you take the truck?" Hikulani begins to get herself ready beginning with brushing her teeth with her pink generic toothbrush. She already brushed her teeth earlier in the morning, but she wanted them to feel
extra clean.
"Yeah, he took on another shift." Kaliko leaned over on Hikulani picking up her speaker.
Hikulani mugged her knowingly since Kaliko knew her sister didn't like it when people crowded up against her personal space.
Their dad worked as a construction worker in the Brooklyn area. He worked most days and nights, But most of the time it depended on what they were building. Some days he didn't even come back home, which the girls were used to since he had been employed there for over 5 years, and was used to his hectic schedule.
"Like always." Hikulani rolled her eyes gazing over the bright blue bonnet that sat on her head.
I really need to do something with my hair.
