The house was empty. Dad was obviously at Shirley's, as usual. I say obviously, but Starbucks was always second on the list if Shirley and dad had been rowing. I sat there in silence, wasting my precious time doing absolutely nothing...

The door slammed open, discovering a hunched old man holding bags of Gucci and Louis Vuitton. I looked surprised. 

"No Starbucks?" I snatched the bags of him taking a quick peak inside. 

He nodded, closing the door, flopping his coat on the floor. He sat on the opposite white, leather sofa, staring into space, the same as I. 

I sighed, looking round our glamorous, yet bare, spacious living room. 

A little maid came in, wearing a tradisional french maid outfit. "Tea, Sir?" She smiled. 

He nodded abruptly. "Elliot?" 

"Oh. Uh. No thanks." I gestured my hands quickly. 

I sighed once more, staring into space again.
