Do you ever feel like saying no even when the idea sounds nice? Well I'm in that position right now.
"Come on Lizzy, it'll be fun." My younger brother groans, for a 12 year old he's unnecessarily annoying.
"Go away Ethan" I sighed putting my airpods back in. I don't know why I bothered taking them off.
"Mom!" The sound of his calls slipped through the smoothening voice of Beyonce and reached my ears. My bedroom door bursts open in seconds and my mother appears, clothes covered by her favourite red apron. She must have being making dinner.
"Ethan what's wrong love?" She asks with her brows furrowed, she was such a darling but Ethan takes advantage of her kindness alot.
"Mom I want to go to the cabin for the holidays but Lizzy doesn't want to," he pouts stomping his feet. Taking off my airpods, again!, I sighed heavily, turning on my seat to meet my mother's eyes.
"Does the wild life have wifi? No, does it have a big comfy bed with a properly working ac? Also no, so why the hell will I want to go there?" My mother sighs placing her hands on her hips and leveling me with her stern glare. I knew I was acting out but I just didn't feel like going to our cabin.
"Elizabeth you just graduated, you should be out there exploring the world."
"No mom. Where is dad when I need him" I huffed.
"Right here love." Our arguing didn't let us hear dad climb up the stairs. Turning towards my doorway I see the love of my life, literally.
"Daddy," I squeaked jumping down from my bed and rushing to him.
"Princess" he laughs still being able to pick me up at my age and spin me around. Mom chuckles while Ethan joins in on the fun. Dad drops me picking up my younger brother.
"Dad you're back early?" I questioned with a smile.
"Yes love, the case was quickly dismissed in court." My dad was a high shot lawyer for Queen enterprise. One of the biggest furniture company in America, which meant my father earned good bucks. Good enough that I had my own car and we lived in a one storey duplex on the rich side of town.
"Honey I made your favorite." Mom pecks dad and Ethan yells in disgust, wrinkling his nose.
"Ewww!" Yes my parents still get it on even at almost 50 but atleast they don't create anymore babies. Ethan is like a 100 kids by himself.
"Let's go have dinner then and Lizzy leave that phone up here," My father warns. Rolling my eyes, I obliged. I had a social life but my father didn't want to understand. He was strict, constantly making annoyed remarks about my attachment to my phone.
We arrived at the dinning table and mom pulls me along with her into the kitchen to serve dinner.
"Sweetheart.." she starts off softly and I stopped what I was doing, turning to her.
"Umm?"
"Lizzy... you said you needed a break before heading off to college and we respected your wishes but this lazing around wasn't what we thought you had in mind."
"No mom it's not but I'm still thinking on it," I sighed. To be completely honest I only took this break because my friends were taking it too and couldn't think of starting college without their emotional support.
"Think Elizabeth, think" she frowns before leaving me in the kitchen. What's her problem anyway? I only just graduated barely one month ago, I still had time. Frowning I followed her out bringing the dishes along. I know she's only trying to look out for me and I'm glad but I need to make my own mistakes. My parents were amazing, always supportive and I couldn't ask for better. My life was near perfect, loving parents and the best friends in the world. After serving dinner I took a seat on my father's left, across mom. We shut our eyes and dad led our prayers. We were a very religious family and to be sincere everyone should be, Jesus gave his life for us that's a big deal.
"Let's eat." Dad says after the prayers and I dished up some salad and rice onto my plate. Mom was a stay at home wife so she spent most of her time taking care of us and learning new things. She was an excellent cook and could prepare almost every dish known to man. I swallowed down my juice before leaning back into my seat, satisfied.
"Honey Lizzy doesn't have any idea why she took that one year break." I should have known she wasn't just going to drop the issue now she's turning dad against me, traitor. He faces me, brows raises.
"I'm thinking of something" I rushed out blushing in embarrassment. Mom scoffs rolling her eyes.
"Well let's hear those ideas you've thought about."
"Umm...I..." I stuttered mind blank.
"Not to worry."
"What?"I asked startled. The father I knew didn't just let things slide he was a lawyer after all.
"On Monday you begin at Queen's enterprise, the young Mr Queen needs a new PA." I stared at him numbly.
"What?" This time it came from mom.
"Why do you all look shocked? It's a good idea and she'd save money for college and would also stop lazing around, it's a win-win." Dad shrugs, dumping the towel on his finished food. He was making sense but working? I didn't have any skill and I've only ever done household chores.
"What do you think Lizzy?" Mom asked after glaring at my Father, it was obvious she wasn't expecting this when she spoke to him.
"It's not a bad idea and dad hardly ever makes wrong decisions." I smiled not wanting them to fight on my behalf.
"See perfect." Dad kisses my forehead before walking off. Mom reaches for my hand and forces me to maintain eye contact.
"Sweetheart the decision is all yours, you know that right?"
"Yes mom, trust me I'm fine with it." I squeezed her hands in reassurance, my mom was an overthinker, she worried alot.
"Okay then. Ethan you're on dishes duty." Mom reminds him, Ethan had being quiet since.
"What! No! I'm a man." He whines and I cackled.
"Good luck with that." I head to my room, taking a quick shower before jumping on my bed and grabbing my phone.
