Mrs Vergara

chapter 1

As I came downstairs. I saw my best friend Cleo sit and wait for me on the couch. She's practically a part of the family if you ask me. My parents love her. We met in high school as juniors. We both arrived late all the time and got close because of that. Her mom was never home and I mean ever. We are seniors now and I haven't seen her mother once. Her dad on the other hand was a pretty cool dude. And  would work from home. So he practically raised her. I know it's hard on her since she hasn't seen her mother for 4  years. And I feel so heartbroken for her. I know it has to be hard being raised without a parent. Since my dad died. My mother remarried. And john is a good guy, but I miss my father a lot sometimes.

" Cleo" I said as I rushed to hug her.  " Hey, Nay "she said hugging me back.  " We're late again, and this time it's you" she said as we walked out the door. " I was fighting demons in my sleep. I could barely rest, if you ask me." I said as we got in the car. Cleo was extremely wealthy, the house they lived in was owned by her mother. And that was a mansion.  Her mother was a millionaire. And according to Cleo owned multiple businesses . I guess that's probably the reason for her absence. " So guess what, dad said my mother will be coming home tonight" she said as we drove off.
" What!!! " I was very shocked to hear those words come out of her mouth. " Yeah... I'm shocked too, I don't even know how to feel.
I haven't seen her for the last 4 years" I could see by the expression on her face she was sad. " Cleo this is a good thing don't you think? I mean now you can finally have a relationship with her."
" Till she decides to leave again, and then we're back to square one. As she said that she put on our favourite song and the drive to school was silent. I didn't want to pressure her. So I decided to just not continue the conversation anymore. She clearly didn't want to talk about it.

School was the regular. Boring, if I had one word to describe it. Cleo and I decided to get lunch after school, And stopped by our favourite place to eat. " Nay don't wanna be there tonight with me. I wouldn't be able to deal with this without you." I looked at her and she basically had the puppy eyes. " Cleo this is a family thing. I'm sure your mother wants to have a talk with you by yourself and not have your annoying best friend interfere."  I mean it really wasn't my place, to be involved in her family issues.
" You're coming, you have to."  I really think I shouldn't but Cleo won't let this go.  " Fine.. but if a family feud breaks out . I'm out that door first blink you understand me" I could see a smile appear on her face and that made me happy.

After lunch we went directly to Cleo's. Her dad was welcoming as always, but you could sense that he wasn't alone.  By the noise coming from the kitchen. And the tension roaming in the atmosphere. I mean when Cleo said her mother will be coming tonight... did she mean 7 on the clock. Her dad then pointed us to the dining area so we could have our seats and just as I took mine.

I saw an absolute drop dead gorgeous woman who resembles Cleo in a way. Her hair was pitch black complimenting her beautiful blue eyes. Her skin glowed. She had pretty plump lips that had a cherry tone to it. Her body was absolute insanity. She was tall. And had a white suite on with a pair of heels. She looked like a business woman alright. THIS IS CLEO'S MOTHER???.  I could feel drool in the corner of my mouth and decided to just look away. This woman had so much aura. With tattoos on her hands and neck. She looked so majestic.

" Cleo" she said as she approached her. I could see Cleo was in absolute shock. " Hi" she said very shy. I would be shocked too if I  had a parent that looked that good like how is it even possible. Her mother looked like a model.  And it doesn't help that I'm lesbian.  So I am literally blown away. Cleo had hugged her mother and she then came over to me. I stood up to greet her. As I reached my hand out she went in for a hug. " I'm Gabriella Vergara" she said her voice being so seductive. Like is that the way she speaks.???  " Hi... I'm Nay" I just now I sounded like a complete weirdo. " Nice to meet you Nay, I guess you're my daughter's best friend. Her dad told me a lot about you." I nodded not really knowing how to answer. The food came and it was served by their personal chef. So you get why I said they were rich right...

Dinner was SILENT. But Cleo and her mother would talk. And then stop. And then continue. I didn't know what to do or even act so I just remained quiet. I could see Mrs Vergara stair at me and for some reason it made my head spin. Like I'm sure she's just trying to be friendly... But it made me so nervous. " Cleo I know you're birthdays coming up and I want to host your party here at home. With family around." Said her dad.  " Yeah honey.. I know I'm not really your favourite person at the moment but I want to be here for you" said this beautiful woman before us. I could see Cleo's body relax and she definitely put in effort to give this family thing a shot. I was happy to witness something so beautiful. I mean this is all she's ever wanted. " Ok mom" she said

Dinner went great.....

I then said my goodbyes and Cleo dropped me off. But for some odd reason I could just feel like a certain pair of eyes were looking more than they should have tonight and it made my cheeks flush.
