The First One...

Chapter 5

Short visit....

***

Next day morning i called my HR Venessa and my team informing them about my day off..It wasnt that tough to convince venessa as i hardly take any leaves I'm always focused on my job and perform my best.

I drove my car to Portland. I left early morning so that i can spend more time with family.

Drive was good as there were clear skies and i dint got much traffic.

Once i reached portland i stopped in front of a shop named "Cream on the top.".i loved this cake shop since i was a kid. I went inside and bought pastries of everyones favorite flavours in which mine was dark chocolate.

Once i left the shop my home was just few blocks away. I felt good looking at the familiar surroundings.

I stopped my car in our house drive way.

My home was one storey house with 6 bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, a study. It was surrounded by big backyard where my mom planted flowers and even some vegetables. We had a front yard with grass all over which was kept open for family outings or just to relax..there was a garage too. Yeah we had a big house. Dad is an interior designer and owns a medium sized firm with 3 designers under him. That business is doing well. All our house interior and exterior was done by dad with all modern amenities yet simple and elegant.

I parked my car and went to the door, before i could knock, a tall slim women with same eyes like mine wearing a sundress, opened it..she hasn't changed a bit except for her hair which she had cutted short but that suits her...

"Sammy...what a surprise." she hugged me.

"Hi mom...its so nice to see you." i answered smiling at her. Yes thats my mother Julie.

"What is it with you, your looking so ..so...slim. Arent you eating properly these days?" mom asked in worry.

"Oh mom its nothing like that, i am just working out a bit too much lately and i am eating of course but quiet difficult to follow lunch times and besides if i haven't been eating...i will be eating these yummy pastries and increasing my calories today." i said showing the pastry bag to her.

She laughed on that and took the bag and dragged me.

I looked around admiring the familiar interior...i am finally home. It feels sooo good. I went to my favourite place on the couch and sat there..

"Diiiiii......."I heard susie calling me running through loud footsteps from upstairs..

She saw me and hugged me tight.
"Hey susie my darling, how are you?" i asked caressing her hair.
She is very dear to me like my own child. I adore her. She's beautiful with green eyes like dads, a brunette like me, we both looked similar except for her 5'5 height and eyes.

"M fine dii...i missed you a lott..you are visiting almost after four months..are you gonna stay?" she asked me with puppy face.

"No swetie..i know its long that i have stayed but next time i promise i will be staying and i will take you to the amusement park. Okay?" I said.

"Hmm..its a deal. You better don't forget about it."she said eyeing me.

"Hahaha..no i won't ever..i have promised right."

"Okay dii."

She sat next to me and started telling me about her high school gossips, her crush, her best friends and the recent school trips.

I heard a knock on the door..susie was getting up when mom shouted through kitchen,

"I will get it.."
