"Oh, really?" you said with a dramatic sigh although you knew you got off lightly. Laura lived so close sometimes she just appeared uninvited, and since she was 14 Isabel looked up to her as a sort of big sister. You also had a decent relationship with her, but being teenagers with different interests lately she just spent more and more time with your sister. Last time you two talked she was a bit annoying after mentioning how she was as tall as you despite being a year younger and kept calling you shorty, but other than that you knew this was no real punishment and Laura could keep Isabel busy while you did your chores.
You took the phone and called her while Isabel watched you to make sure you fulfilled your punishment.
"Hi Laura, how are you?"
"Nice, I was wondering if you could come visit today? Isabel wants to play with you"
"Yeah mom's not home and I have to do the chores so.."
"What do you mean a babysitting job? It's just if you want to" Isabel knew she shouldn't be treated as a baby but seeing your reaction she couldn't help but giggle
"What do you mean charge me? I don't have money, if you don't want it's alright, isn't it?" You looked at Isabel and while she didn't shake her head she gave you those puppy eyes that sent the clear message to insist
"Can you come or not?"
"Aww come on, I know you have chores too but aunt isn't too strict with you" You chuckled at the weak excuse, your aunt would be more than happy to have Laura spend the day having fun with her cousin instead of cleaning, why wasn't your mom like that?
"*sigh* Fine, we can talk about it later"
You hung up and scratched your head wondering what went wrong
"What was all that about?" Isabel asked you
"Apparently I owe her something in exchange for her coming to visit us.. Maybe you should have called her"
"Oh, maybe.. Well I guess the call was just a favor and I can tell her you have a pending punishment" Isabel laughed and you gave her an unimpressed expression, feeling like you would be getting a double whammy thanks to the unfortunate way the conversation with Laura went
10 or so minutes later Laura was there, said hi to your sister and went to greet you as you while you were cleaning the kitchen.
"Hi David! busy at work I see"
"Yeah.. thanks for coming over" you said while you kept cleaning
"Come on, I want to play!" Isabel protested at Laura not wanting to lose more time
"Calm down Izzy, just wanted to check if I'm taller than shorty here now" Laura giggled
"Come on, knock it off Laura" You told her in a slightly annoyed tone, why did she care that much anyway?
"We can do that later!" Isabel insisted
"Fine.. How come you don't help?" Laura asked after she gave you a small wave for goodbye and started to walk away with your sister
"Oh I'll tell you about it" you heard your sister giggle before they walked upstairs, leaving you alone to focus on the chores
