FATE

75 - Visiting Home

Third person POV

Lilly and Lemuel decided to visit Lilly's family since Christmas. Lilly felt that the best day for that visit was for New Years. So here they stood in front of the door.

Lilly had a lot of questions, she was also scared. But then, she missed her family. She didn't want to cross her dad by coming home, but all she wanted was to see her family and start the year on s good note.

She nervously got her hands on the door bell, then pressed it and then it rang alk through the mansion.

Mabel hastily ran down the stairs, to quickly get the door. Then she pulled the door knob when she reached downstairs.

She was shocked.

"Wow!" She exclaimed.

Lilly was wearing a big smile, clad in beautiful peach fitted leather gown, and a leopard print fluffy coat.

Lemuel stood behind her looking handsome in his black senators that was tapered in red. He wore a palm to give a simple look and a small chain to give the bad boy vibe.

"Hi." Both Lilly and Lemuel said in unison, nervous.

"Hi guys. Haa - ppy er New Year. Good to good to see you." Mabel stuttered.

"Do we come in?" Lilky asked, already feeling uncomfortable.

Mabel chuckled. "Yeah, sure." She made way for them to go in.

When they had come in, she shut the door and followed behind them. They started to climb the stairs, to the second floor.

Lilly was able to glance around as,she climbed and she noticed, that home still looked the same. Only that it felt empty because of her absence.

"Its good to have you at home."

"Thank you." Lilly turned and gave her a glance before turning to the front.

"Girl you look so good and fresh." Mabel drooled, her eyes raking Lilly's body from head to toe.

"Thanks." Lilly blushes.

"I can see that Lemuel is doing a good job taking care of you. You are doing good bro." She slapped his arm and he chuckled.

"You are welcome." Lemuel chuckled.

Then they arrived the dining room. Cynthia stood startled once she sighted them. It took a whole battle to stop her from dropping that whole ceramic to the floor.

Lilly rolled her eyes. "Did you see a ghost?" She decided to act like it was normal.

Cynthia did her own eyeroll too. "You are the ghost girl. Come here joor." She urged spreading her arms for a hug and Lilly smiled, going into her arms.

Mabel chuckled and offered Lemuel a seat before heading to the kitchen.

"Mom, mom, come see who is here." She shouted before disappearing.

Lilly broke off the hug. "So how have you been?"

Cynthia scoffed internally. "Me? Do I look fine?"

Lilly gave a dry smile, she knew that her whole family was affected by the whole situation and she felt bad because of that.

"Forget about me joor. How are you girl? That's the real question." She let her black American accent dominate her speech.

"I dee, the same way you guys abandoned me."

Cynthia' s countenance changed to sad as she raised her hand to demonstrate.

"Lilly stop. You know we all care about you. We all missed you and we felt your pain of being pushed out of your comfort zone by the person you love in the time you needed him and others you love so much."
