Here I'm standing in front of plants, and choosing which one to pick. You see Darren has a huge garden before I used to live with him he have plants, but they were really selective. After I started living with him, both of us used to plant many ferns and trees. Now I can't decide which are perfect for him.
As I was deep in my thoughts, I don't know someone came behind us until they spoke, " can't pick one". a deep manly voice spoke from behind.
As I turn around their stood a man, his face sculpted and gorgeous, he might be around 6 feet quiet tall, with dirty blond hair, a friendly smile on his face. I could just stare at his face all day, 'What in the world are you thinking grace' I scold myself and remember he asked something.
"Yes, I'm quiet confuse which one to buy, as you see their are so many here" I told him as I look around the aisle.
"You should buy some flowering plant, because you never have enough of flowers in your home", that stranger said still smiling.
"Well it's actually a nice idea, I can definitely take some floral plants. thank you for your help." I said to guy.
He just stared and nodded his head and moved to the other side continuing his shopping. That guy was really intriguing for some reason, but I don't have time for this anyways. I'm most eligible bachelor right now in New York. Being a women surrounded with greedy people its not easy.
As I bought almost a dozen plants from the store and load them all in my car, I look the same guy standing ahead of me with two girls, by looking at them they lock like twins. They all were loading their truck and laughing about something. I watch them, and then entered my car and started driving towards my destination.
I know this store is something I might not visit soon or at all. Sometimes I go to store buy something then never visit them. Most of the time I have my staff go for grocery runs, as the chef know what to cook.
As I reached near Lisa's home I could feel myself remembering the time I used to walk around here and have fun living a simple life. But, something didn't last forever, my life was something I really used to love then but now I love all the power and control I have in my hands.
As I pull up on the familiar driveway, I still remember the day I arrived here and the day I left to fulfil my dream and run my business. As I get out of my car and walk towards the door, I could hear everyone inside laughing, I could feel myself smiling. I knocked at the door and heard loud footsteps coming to open the door.
"Grace, Oh my god, you finally decide to come here at our humble adobe", Nick said as he pull me into a tight hug almost cutting my air.
"Nick release her now, you might suffocate her and then who will listen to your mellow drama", Zack said from behind us. As nick finally released me from his death grip.
I finally got to see them both, my to brothers from another mother. Zack and Nick are Lisa's and Darren's sons. Zack is the older one and the serious brother always thinking about work, always focused on goals ands dating a beautiful women from last five year. then their is nick younger brother the joker and goof of family. hew can make you smile even when you are sad, he is totally opposite always laughing and having fun. Lisa always loved them both dearly but when it comes on me she would always scold them if they act out of the way. I love this family dearly I don't know without them where Would I have been now.
"Okay you two stop and move aside let my daughter come inside and bring all the bags from the car go both of you", Lisa said to them in stern voice, both Zack and Nick grumbled as they go outside to bring my bags.
I hugged Lisa tightly as I always do when I'm with the family. Darren was not far behind he also pull me in for a hug. This is why I always call this my real home. Lisa and Darren are not my parents but they were my parents friends.
"Caramel, I missed you so much. How are you, why didn't you came by anymore, do you eat properly, are you getting cold?" Darren asked questions without stopping and looking me if I was alright or not. I could see tears in his eyes but smile on his face. As I feel myself getting tears in my eyes.
"Darren, let her breath and sit down both of you, grace must be tired after driving here", Lisa said as she look at us with a smile. I was also laughing at this and so was Darren. This was first time I laughed whole heartedly and this felt so good. I miss these family days where their were no tension problems and issues.
As we all sat on the bar stools by the kitchen, Zack and Nick came inside with my duffle bag and five shopping bags in their hands. "Grace what did you buy so much today", Nick said as he tried to hold bags like they were heavy.
"Nick stop being dramatic, they are not that heavy", I said and rolled my eyes at him.
"Caramel, but what did you buy?", Darren asked me. I could see Lisa was also curious about those bags.
"Well these are a small gift for our lovely garden.", I replied to the question everyone was so curious about.
"But, Why so many Grace you know we have enough plants here.", Lisa said with a frown on her face.
"But, dear we can never have enough plants ever look at our garden always so beautiful, just like my beautiful wife", Darren said with puppy eyes and I also copied him, I know Lisa will definitely give us permission to plant these.
She sighed and said " Fine but you will do this after lunch and better yet tomorrow." she said with a smile.
Zack and Nick both put the bags on the floor, I stood up and pick a bag and take the box out giving it to Zack, " This is for you Zacky, my dear brother." I said as i take another box and giving that to Nick," This is for my clown." I said as I take another box and give that to Darren," Dad this is for you." I said and take another box for Lisa" Mom this is for you." I give them all their gifts. But all were just looking at them.
"What are you all waiting for open them, I bought them personally." I said to them with a smile and after that as if a trance was broken they all smiled and started opening their gifts.
I got a branded Armani watch for Zack as he love to collect watches and this one was customized with his name, I also bought a platinum bracelet for Nick he love shinny thing, a shirt for dad and a handbag for mom.
They all love the gifts and hugged me tightly. After that we all sat down and had our lunch. It was good to have quality time with my family i miss them all now i feel good to be back with them here.
