My Melody

Chapter 13

Nicki and I stopped by Aubree's place before we got on the road.

"Make sure y'all  call me to let me know you got back safely!"Aubree demands.

"Yes mom," Nicki yells back as we get in the car. I just laugh getting in the passenger seat waving goodbye.

The drive back was smooth. We both drove an hour and a half a piece. Arriving  back on Long Island in the afternoon. I got settled in the guest room at Nicki's house,and contacted Miss Lauren letting her know that I'm back in town. I'm gonna visit the girls at the group home this weekend.

"Melly,honey you have some mail!" I hear Mrs.Stevens yell from downstairs. Nicki an I come out our rooms. She looks at me.

"You just got here. How you getting mail already?" She teases.

"I am just as surprised as you are,but it's probably paperwork from the school. I applied for grants and internships for next year."

"Oh really?Dang Melly you be on it." She says as we both walk down the stairs one behind the other.

It was a large white envelope with the States stamp on it. I opened it to see my Passport.

"Wow that came yesterday?!Cutting it kinda close ain't you girl?"

"Hey I applied for this months ago. It's not my fault they were late,but it's here now so who cares."I say waving it in the air.

"So are you ready for this trip?"Nicki asked.

"I think so,you?"

"Not really I need to grab a few more things from the mall. I still haven't gotten a bathing suit."

Bathing suit,shoot...

Come to think of it. I do need some things too.

"How about we go tomorrow morning?"I suggest.

"Sounds like a plan."Nicki says going  to the kitchen.

I went back to my room to continue unpacking. Making it neat as possible. It's a nice size room with a cream colored area rug,full size bed ,five drawer dresser a medium size closet,and a 32 inch flat screen on the wall. Definitely a step up from the dorm,and very cozy. After I finished up I decided to take a shower,and cool  out for the rest of the night.  This bed is just to comfortable. I went right to sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Since I went to bed early last
night. I woke up as soon as the sun came shining through the window. With that said I had decided to start my day. I put on a pot of coffee,and started to make breakfast hoping they had something to cook. Soon after I got started Mr. & Mrs.Stevens came into the kitchen to see a spread of scrambled eggs,turkey bacon, shrimp/grits and cheddar biscuits.

"Something sure smells good up in here,"Mrs.Stevens says coming in. "Yes I made breakfast for you all,"I say. "Well thank you sweetie," Mrs.Stevens smiles.

Mr.Stevens went straight for his # 1 Dad coffee mug. "Oh coffee,yes. I  need a pick me up." He says lowly. So where is my daughter?" He asked as he mixed creamer into his coffee.

"I'm guessing she's still sleeping. Do you want me to go and wake her up?" I ask.

"Nah let her sleep."He was now making his wife a cup of tea,and she was making his plate of food. I take it all in. Hopefully I don't look like a creep.

Justin walks in yawning and stretching taking in the display. "You cooked all of this Melly?" "Mhmm.." I hummed. "Well thank you," he then turns to his parents. "Umm I'd like to trade her for Nicki,what say you?" He says with a British accent.
