Samantha's mouth dropped when she pulled up behind the Crown Hotel to pick you up. "What the hell happened? You look like you've seen a ghost!""You wouldn't believe me," you said panting, getting into the car. "The paps were going crazy out front. It was an absolute zoo. They were blocking the entrance, and a couple sneaked into the restaurant and got shots of me and my new family. I was so terrified."
As you drove back to Melissa's house, the tension began to ease, "That's insane," Samantha shook her head. "You poor thing. Let's get you out of here glad you got out of there in one piece."
You breathed deeply, watching with relief as it disappeared behind you." That didn't even begin to began on how I felt like a deer in headlights wherever I turned there were flashing cameras and no way out.But I think one of those receptionists at the front desk recognized me.She might have tipped off the papers.I mean really,Samantha.It took so much for me to forgive my dad, planning a good reunion and now this."
She grinned as she saw your face light up.You told her about your visit and new siblings before showing her selfies with your family around the lunch table.How cute your new siblings were and Amelia that was so friendly. She was scared you would hate her at first sight. But you were surprised that your mum was more beautiful than her.
"I'm so happy for you two making up. You need him in your life bestie."She smiled happily.You nodded.
Melissa's house was a sight for sore eyes.A mixture of her Mexican heritage and modern Aussie design,it was both cozy and luxurious.Her mum had moved to Sydney after Melissa's dad -an Afro-American cop-had been killed on duty when Mel was eight.
This house was located on a hill in Seaforth, NSW. It had the best view of Bondi beach.
"Melissa's place is something else,"you admired the modern house."Her mum must be loaded if she can afford all this."Samantha nodded."Yeah,I heard it's pretty posh."
As they drove through the automated gate careful not hit anything on their way down Melissa's driveway, they realised 'pretty posh' was an understatement. Lavish landscaped gardens, sparkling pool, interiors straight out of a magazine.
