I took my seat beside him, resting my head on his shoulders,how have you being? He asked after placing a kiss on my hair. I don't know really this last few weeks have being so much drama for me I sigh,you're still adjusting to the adult life. I know dad but I don't feel like I know myself anymore,it's all part of the process honey, you'll get there. Few minutes of silence was all it took for me to muster up the courage,how rich are we dad? He pulls away to stare at me. Where is that coming from? I'm just curious,I don't really know our financial state I sit up. We are fine if that's what you're wondering,his stalling,just how rich are we? Dad I want to know,are you among the ten richest men in New York or America? Lizzy,dad? Fine I'm number 2,in New York or ame....america? Please don't say america, America but it doesn't matter he frowns. We are richer than the kwin's how? Their your employer? He laughs,how can you be finding this funny dad? I own 30percent shares of their company love and even if I didn't,I have hotels and restaurants scattered across America,the kwin's only have furniture companies. My god! Princess you're overreacting,you have only two cars,that's all I need he shrugs. My family is richer than I thought,I don't know why I'm surprised,I mean they just bought me a duplex for my birthday. Dad I'm sorry,for what? You're birthday,I'm such a bad daughter and sister I suck at everything. Hey don't say that,you were class captain in highschool,cheerleader also and you got offers of scholarship from different prestigious schools. Maybe you ain't the best at feelings but nobody's perfect,oh dad! I hug him,he chuckles hugging me back. We should go for a walk in town soon,just the two of us he smiles,okay but I'm not riding those horses I frown. You're such a city girl but okay he laughs,mom and Ethan joined us that moment. Ethan was blushing,what got you all flushed? His crushing on Julie Matthews! Mom squeaks,Julie? Well that's a surprise I meet his gaze with a 'what the fuck'. Lizzy when last did you make dinner? Mom! You're making dinner she ignores my whine. Can you get to it love I'm hungry dad smirks,traitor I grumble before dragging my feet to the kitchen. With a huge grin,I got cooking,my kitchen skills were amazing due to mom. I still wonder how they could be so humble with the money they have,I understand dad but mom? She came from money,big blocks,we are distant with her side of the family because their snobby. Mom use to tell me they didn't like dad because he didn't cower to them,now that he has raised in wealth their coming around. Dad has two siblings,both are elder and they refused to go to School that's why our grandpa could afford to send dad to law school. Aunt Mary is a friendly lady with two kids,she's widowed unfortunately. My cousins actually go to London and they are one of my driving forces. I want to be able to spend quality time with them,Gloria the eldest,is 23years old and she just graduated. Gladys lives with her off campus and she's studying sociology she's two years older than me and we clicked. Uncle Marcel is not so welcoming,his that type of sibling that sees everything as a competition. His married with five kids, some younger than me but two eldest. Harrison and Henry,their twins and their Gladys age,21,they attend NYC and love Ethan. Unlike their grumpy dad,our cousins love us and we try to hang out alot when we are all home for Christmas. Aunty Mary and her kids stay with us for Christmas while uncle Marcel and family stays with my grandpa a few blocks away. My grandma died three years ago and to be honest no one has recovered from it. I hardly think or talk about my family, because I want things to be private. The media may not have cameras glued to our asses but their fully aware of our life and it's not cute. I know mom is expecting the whole dinner course with dessert, so I make some pies. Apple pie to be specific,three bloody hours later the cabin was smelling like heaven. Dinners ready! I call out placing the dishes on the dinning table,there was no dinning but dad had a table and chairs placed beside the kitchen like a makeshift dinning area. Mom smiles at me,I could see her eyes inspecting everything,Ethan just sits along with dad. Mom you won't know how it tastes from looking,don't sass me young lady she rolls her eyes before sitting down,finally. I dished them all a plate before sitting beside dad on his left. Ethan bless the food! Okay,we all closed our eyes murmuring an amen where needed.
Are you adjusting properly? Me and mom were outside on a bench,blankets and all. I decided to be a better person and ask about work,I'm okay but the younger kids there have no morals. I turn to face her bringing one leg up the bench,what happened mom? She sighs looking straight ahead. An incident happened and a young lady about 25,yelled at me claiming that all rich ladies where worthless and useless. She said I should go back to playing housewife and it kinda stunged. Mom! That's awful,how dare someone talk to her like that,she's an elder for crying out loud. She almost got fired but I stopped them,she hasn't being able to look me in the eyes ever since. She must feel ashamed now since you saved her job,yes and it was the right punishment mom smiles. Lizzy? Umm? What's going on in your life? Nothing I chuckle,how was your birthday really? It was fun mom,why? You looked sad Lizzy,you're my daughter I know you. Mom do I come off as a hooker? She laughs, clutching her stomach as she laughs. My brows were raised wondering what kind off reaction this was to a very serious question. Mom! Do you have tattoos? No I scoff,do you chew gum? Mom you know I hate it,do you apply red lip stick?no...I strail off realizing what she was doing. Nothing about me screams hooker and I've being letting it plague my thoughts,I feel so stupid now. There you have your answer,but I'm curious what made you ask? I dived right into the tail, spilling my guts out.
♥️♥️♥️♥️From experience,there is no one that can make you feel better about yourself like your mother does, no one.
