Mom had informed me about the family friends that were coming to visit. They just moved here three months ago.
To be honest, I wasn't feeling mentally, emotionally or physically prepared for it. I only took a shower and brushed my teeth.
I've been feeling sick ever since I ate the beefsteak I tried to make (it had too much seasoning) and I can't just get out of the restroom. I'm so frustrated right now.
"Jo, would you come down for a bit darling? " Mom shouts from downstairs so I can hear.
I rolled my eyes, not replying, just rolling to another side.
I'm actually in my bed right now, resisting the urge to throw my phone somewhere around the room.
Fucking Ethan hasn't replied to any of the texts I sent earlier this morning. He's keeping me on read!
Okay, Ethan is my fiancee. My family already know about him and it's been practically two years we've been dating. Well, since we started college-
"Jocelyn, they're almost here! " Mom yells again, in a higher pitch.
"Yeah!" I shout back in annoyance, grabbing a jacket to put over my sports bra and slipping on my pumps, by the bed, aggressively.
It's going be a heck of a day with those visitors, I tell you. We haven't seen them in ages and I'm sure my mom would want us to catch up with one another for all those years.
From what I heard, they were related to my mom from her maternal side and it's so complicated. All I know is, we're distant relatives.
I rush out of my room and down the stairs only to see no one in the living room.
"What the fuck Mom. No one-"
"No baby. Language."
I roll my eyes walking into the kitchen where I thought I heard her voice.
"What am I? Twelve? " I scoff.
I picked one of the apples in the bowl and started to munch on it.
Mom is arranging the dishes and packing them for the dining. I collect the delicacies of pasta from her while she brings the lasagna along.
"Well, they're going to be here any minute. Your dad is busy at work unfortunately so... we got to make up for his absence, baby."
I roll my eyes but when Mom stares at me, I smile. I do hate having guests around. Being extremely nice and careful is frustrating.
"I wish we had Ethan around. " Mom sighed, dropping the dish on the table and I copied her action.
"I dunno Mom, he has not been-"
Ding Dong
I grunt. They're here.
"Oh. They're here. Go and get the door quickly, please. " Mom orders rushing back to the kitchen.
I lazily walk to the door.
Ding Dong
Once I get to the door, I peep through the keyhole. It's a cute little girl I first noticed, then probably her parents. I sigh and fling the door open.
The cute girl was even cuter, with her bobby strawberry blonde hair, dressed in pink overalls and white sneakers.
Classy.
