"I'll pick you up at seven!" Hanna yells from her Range Rover in my driveway. I wave and bound up the steps to eat and shower before I get ready.

"Jo is that you?" Mom yells from the kitchen.

"No it's an armed robber!" I shout back taking my shoes off and placing them by the door.

"I told your dad to buy me a gun." She states as I walk into the kitchen.

"That's an awful idea." I tease making her swat me with the oven mitt.

"What's on the agenda tonight?" She asks.

"Miles lake party." I sigh grabbing a cookie and biting into it.

"I think we're going out as well." Mom says checking the time.

"Good it's been awhile." I muse.

"Work." She sighs.

I take her in. My beautiful mother at the solid age of 35. She doesn't look a day over 21. Her long auburn hair is down to her waist. Her fair skin is as smooth as a baby's. Her makeup is flawless even after training all day. Her body's toned and fit.

I hear the front door and grin. Before he can utter a word I throw myself at my father making him chuckle.

"Hello brat." He states rubbing my back. Releasing me He kisses my mothers cheek Brie stealing a cookie. "Dibs on first shower. Our reservations a little early Mon."

"Alright shoo." She states.

My fathers a handsome man for the age of 40. Tan tall and toned. He works in an office for accounting so he's always in a suit. His dark black hair could use a cut but besides that he's not aged in my sixteen years either.

Since they're eating out I have mom make me some soup and grilled cheese before I shower. Mom takes one after dad and they get ready and leave me alone.

I wash my plate and prance to the shower to get around. Hanna will be fifteen minutes early so I have to get a move on. She hates being late.
