Chapter seventeen: "Whatever, Night Night"

Aunt Laborè returned home two hours later and I decided to break the news to her in my room
So I could announce it to her privately with none of my nosy sisters around

So as soon as she dropped her purse on my sofa, I immediately told her
"Aunt Laborè, I'm going to live with Cloud" the way I said it was so quick that I almost stumble in my own words

She tilted her head at me "I see"
She's calm, too calm

She removed her jewelry first before she plopped her body on my bed, I sat beside her
"Wait do you know this already?"

"Penelope dear, the moment Cloud asked permission from your parents, your Mom was the first to call me and I almost dropped our new product from how shocked I am right in front of my boss"
I was only left giving her a sheepish grin to ease the awkward air I created between us

Mom always called at least one family member to tell a piece of shocking news to get something out of her chest
It turned out to be Aunt Laborè

I lie down on the bed next to her as we stared up at my blank white ceiling
"So how do you feel about it?"

She grabbed a pillow on her side of the bed and hugged it close to her chest
"At first I almost fainted when I heard the news, who knew my niece would be dating my boss' son" one side of her lips quirked up making her smirk, I rolled my eyes and took a pillow to hit her face

"Aunt Laborè please no" I can imagine what is going on in her mind right now, she laughed as she hit me back with the pillow that she just hugged

"This is quite big news, have your sisters known about this?" She asked me before she hopped out of the bed and asked me where my luggage is
"I haven't told them yet, the luggage is at the back of my closet hold on I'll help you"

I rolled off the bed and let my body slam on the floor, she was already rummaging through all of my clothes that needs to be packed
"I'm only going to pack half, I will just come back for the other half soon and besides I am not gonna leave that quickly yet. I have to prepare and plan everything"

Dragging my luggage out of the closet was a bit difficult because all of my clothes are preventing me to bring out the luggage, some of my clothes were covering my way. We both got out of my closet first and decided to pull it out at the count of three
"1"

"2," she told out loud joining me in counting

"3!" We shouted and pulled at the same time, we fell flat on the floor and the luggage hit the ground making a loud thud

"I think my butt broke" I groaned as I can feel the pain from my bottom and I haven't moved a bit from my sitting position for a while

My door was slammed open with Wendy that has her hair up in rolls
"What happened!?"

Her eyes went to my white luggage that has heart pillows design scattered all over
"Are you running away? Because if you do I want to have your bed"

"Wendy, who the hell runs away with a big ass luggage?" I struggled to stand up slowly, the pain from my bottom was slowly fading away

"True, if you run away with a huge luggage you might return here and change it to a backpack" she joked as she helped Aunt Laborè get up

"You broke your butt but I think I broke my back" she put a hand behind at the bottom of her spine, we both helped her sit on my vanity chair which was the nearest thing that she could possibly sit on at the moment

"So what is the reason you need to pack your luggage this late at night?" Wendy asked as she put the luggage flat on the bed, she opened it for me to put on some clothes that I neatly folded
