A few days went past and it was finally time to meet my mom .Sally made a few phone calls to meet up with mom for an interview which was actually with me... She said she was a journalist from Canada . Rosette luckily believed her and accepted the invite ...I was nervous and my heart was racing. I was confused and was wondering about what I would tell her. I shifted uncomfortably as I pulled my phone out of my purse and switched it on after 3 days ..I wasn't exactly in the mood to talk to anyone so I decided that it was the best ,my phone had vibrated for at least three minutes as I saw that Amanda had left 24 voice messeges and 41 missed calls which I immediately deleted. I also saw a few texts from derek asking where I was and why I hadn't spoke to him for a week already ..I wast ready to say anything to anyone so I just switched it off my phone and slipped it into my bag ."Here she comes honey! " Sal said as she got up from her chair and left the restaurant " call me as soon as you're done " she said as she winked at me which I returned with a weak smile before she left. "You must be Miss woods?" an unfamiliar voice asks .. I look up as my eyes fill with tears . "Mom! " I say unexpectedly " excuse me? Do I know you?" she asked with a blank face "am I even at the right table ?" she narrowed her eyes . " Yes you are ...I'm so sorry , let me explain " I say as I swallow a large lump down my throat and wipe my tears ." I am Samantha Jones and I am your daughter . I know that this might not sound like it's a reality but it is ...I grew up with Amanda Jones , the woman that you paid to privately adopt me " I say with anger in my voice "I'm sorry ...I..I think I have the wrong table-" I cut her off. "Dont even try to deny it...I have all the proof I need to show that this isn't a scheme don't walk away from me now ..you know who I am and exactly what I am doing , you are my mother for God's sakes and you hid it from everyone .I am not sure who I am I am so confused and you're just gonna walk away like you did 17 years ago huh rosette!" I scream loud enough for the entire restaurant to hear. They all stare as rosette shakingly puts her shades on and walks out .. I am truly hurt by the outcome ...right now I just wana die !

Rosette runs out trying to find her driver and I wasn't  just going to let this slip through my fingers , I was going to make a move .

"Here" I yell as I hold the envelope that I received a while ago out towards Rosette. She stops and comes closer as she pulls the envelope out of my shaking hands , she opens it and reads it before nodding ."meet me at my place in malibu on 15th April at 3 and don't be late if you want and answer." she says harshly as she hands me a small paper with her adress and walks into a black Range Rover with guilty written on her forehead .

On the ride back to the hotel I say nothing but i can sense that it's getting way too awkward so Lavvy breaks the silence ." you know maybe we should go to the beach Sally the one in Malibu so that we know where to come tomorrow too , I mean it is really great weather that I don't think we'll get back home ." she says with a smirk as she continues to text " Why not ? I was just gonna pig out on junk food but this sounds much better what do you think Sammy? " she says trying to break the tension while giving me the ' we need to talk ' glare . "you said it yourself ...why not? " I say trying to force a smile on my face ,after all I should be grateful for the address ...I'm finally gonna find out who I really am .

We reach the beach and decide to hit the swimshack where we can get some swimsuits and a surfboard for lavyy since she is dying to surf again . " I walk over to the bikinis exploring but nothing catches my eye until I hear the sound of a deep male voice behind me ." Can I help you ?" I turn to see a boy around my age with the bluest eyes and blondest hair standing there looking at me like I'm crazy . I finally snap out of my crushing moment and reply " Uhmm y...yeah I could do with a new swimsuit but nothing too fancy and do you perhaps have it in one pieces ?"I ask ...he nodes and walks over to the back part of the store handing me the prettiest swimsuit ever ...it was black with a bikini top and highwaisted bottom with 2 staps joining them on either sides of the waist ...I look back up at the boy and read his name tag 'Dylan' which is when I finally say another word.. " I'll take it and I'll also add some suntan lotion and a sunhat ,thanks Dylan " he gives me another one of those amazing smirks before cashing the items and adding a blue pearl bracelet . "No you dont understand ! I'm sorry I didn't exactly ask for the bracelet , just the swimsuit, hat and Suntan lotion " I say in a friendly tone . "No..you don't understand ...it's my treat to a pretty lady like you" he reaches put and hands me the bag as I intensively blush. "I'm finishing my shift in 10 minutes , do you wana grab a milkshake ?" he asks looking curios ...I decide to let my problems go for at least today , I suck it up and say "Sure why not? And btw my names Samantha but you can call me Sam" I say reaching my hand out before he shakes it . I qiuckly run over to Sal and lavyy " Uhmm you guys can carry on I'm gonna hang out with a kid I've just met she seems nice and we're gonna grab a milkshake but I'll text you when we're done ...maybe lav can teach you how to surf Sal?" Sal and lav exchange glances before they nodd and Sally says" Have fun on your date with Dylan " I turn on my heels and give aunt Sal and awkward look before walking into the change room.

2 minutes later

"Well ,how do I look ?" I ask Dylan as he examines me .

" Hmmmm not bad " he says stretching the d and then gives a short giggle . " girly" I tease as we walk out of the store .

We walk on the beach for a few minute and chat about our lives which by the way is really interesting ...Dylan has travelled to 23 countries in a year and took his entire family with ...he has 3 younger brothers : Matthew who is 7 , James who is 11 and Robert who is 15.As well as a 16 year old sister name Daisy who is a professional surfer.
" So tell me about your family ...I see you have a beautiful mom and sister" he says sarcastically.I give a weak smirk.
" No that's my aunt Sally and her stepdaughter lavyy from England , My real mom is back home" I Iie but before Dylan could say anything else the cashier from the ice cream shop yells"Number 27" and Dylan rushes to fetch our orders . Time flies by and Aunt Sal , lavyy and I head back to our apartment.We say our goodbyes to Dylan and exchange numbers just in case I decide to call him in the next 2 weeks that I have left here.

Back at the apartment

"May the royal princess Lavyy enter queen samanthas chamber ?" she says with a serious accent .

"Yes she may enter " I reply

Lavyy walks into my room and plants herself on my bed "so ...any plans with Dylan tomorrow although things shouldn't be getting serious due to our time ...we only have 2 weeks and you can't just drop poor Dylan . "

"I know Lav ...I won't don't worry " we both lie on our backs on my queen size bed before Sal joins us too ."What are we looking at? "She asks staring at the ceiling as lavyy and I burst out laughing
