Surprisssseeeeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!
I scream, running back up, but got stopped by a laughing Bree who pulled me back down before giving us our privacy.
Mom i pant, you are home. I mean what are you doing here, aren't you supposed to be back in two weeks time?
She smiled, is that how you welcome your mother? She ask, gesturing to me, to come give her a hug.
I'm overwhelmed right now, either ways, i took baby steps before running to wrap her in a hug. I missed you mom, I cry into her chest, is dad here too I ask, hoping she says yes.
Honey, dad called from behind, drinking directly from the bottled wine, I took a deep inhale of breath, finding this moment to be unbelievable. I watch him put the wine carefully on the table and I take that as a sign to jump on him.
Oof, he sounded, lifting me off the ground, you have added more weight he joked, I giggle, not wanting him to put me back down but my stomach decided, have had enough of the daughter-father reunion, and rumbled loud in protest.
Dad chuckled and said, go get your shoes on, we are eating at a friend's place tonight.
The excitement immediately paused when different questions popped up in my head about lf I was the reason they came back home or the dinner was the prior motive for their early visit. I do not want to get my hopes up so i went with the third one. How many days are you home for I question with a sad pout on my face.
Take a guess mom said.
I rub my sides together, not wanting to play that game, she always do that but still leave me disappointed, I'll be back I said, rushing upstairs to find Ace gone. Am upset he didn't even wait to say goodnight. I put my shoe on and rush back down to accompany my parents.
It was a thirty minutes drive to Greenwich estate, guys, this place is beautiful, am standing in front of a mansion that makes you realize the big difference between been a billionaire, a wealthy nigga or a rich dude. Its weird how am trying to explain a tangible concept.
Whoever lives in this mansion must be a multi billionaire, the security is tight, the cars parked in the parking lot is screaming money, the flowers in the garden is a definition of a rainbow, everything is just wow...
My house is nothing compared to this, am in love with the fountain, I walk meekly behind my folks and waited patiently in front of the door biting my lips.
Immediately the door opened a young beautiful tall blond woman greets us warmly, Katie, Edward nice to see you two, please come in she said after hugging and exchanging kisses on the cheeks, you must be Audrey, call me Elizabeth.
I stood excitedly on my toes to kiss her cheeks, nice to meet you mam.
Oh please drop the formalities and call me Elizabeth she jokingly frowned.
You have a beautiful home I add.
Oh thank you, my son will show you around after dinner, if its okay with you...
I don't mind, I eagerly tell her. Happy she offered before I embarrass myself and walk around without taking permission.
Please, come with me this way, dinner is served. We followed her, have your seat please she said softly, my husband and son will join us shortly.
I just nod my head, stealing glances at the interior decoration of the house, getting new ideas on how I want my future home to be decorated.
The atmosphere was sort of tense and I could feel that tension emitting from my parents, I squeezed my mom's hand to assure her everything will be fine.
She smiled back with a nod of her head.
Edward, a deep groggy masculine but familiar voice speaks, he looks to be 6ft2 tall, he has dull blue eyes but they held this fire burning Inside of them, even though he had a smile plastered on his face, he was nothing compared to Ace.
Come to think of it, Ace kind of look like him or am I overthinking it as usual again?
And you must be Audrey he says walking towards me, "Am I allowed to kiss his cheeks", forget it am too short for that so, I go for the hand shake but he lifts me up for a hug.
Once we were all seated, I quickly put my phone under the table and type out a message to update the group about the turn of events, only to see the previous one I sent has not been read yet, so i refrain myself, wondering if my besties are keeping malice with me?
Oh!!!! Here comes my son Elizabeth announces, getting everyone's attention and I look up , my breath gets hitched that I forget to breath.
Are you okay, here have some water Elizabeth offered. I quickly took a gulp and feel bile rising in my throat.
Ace on the other hand seem unphased by my discomfort, he continued to lock eyes with me until he occupied the seat directly next to me, placing his hand firmly on my exposed lap.
My mom kept flashing me an apologetic look while dad just kept his poker face on, what is wrong with this two? I could tell there was a skeleton in the closet so, I bury my head in silence and focus on eating, pretending to be engrossed with the food.
Twenty minutes later, Ace grabs my hand dragging me along with him, wait stop. Where are you taking me, I ask pulling away from his hold, scooting closer to my mom. I have a bad feeling about leaving my parents behind.
Honey, your parents and I have a lot to talk about, Ace will show you around, Elizabeth said with finality in her tone but, I suddenly wasn't delighted anymore in touring the house but i couldn't reject the offer because it will be rude of me so, I smile and give my mom a hug like it will be the last time I see her, before proceeding to lock hands with Ace who was nervously waiting for me.
