In Love With A Player

Chapter 17

Across from the mountains I saw a white jeep pull up in our driveway. A girl got out and she look familiar.

Grace? "GRACE!" I yell. I run down the mountain trying not to hurt anything. I ran on the sidewalk all the way to her. It's been probably 2 months since I saw her last.

I wrapped my arms and hugged her. "Can't.Breathe." She says.

"I'm sorry! I'm so excited to see you!" I yell jumping up and down.

"I am too!" She yells. She jumps right on me. We spin around and around.

"We're such children." I say.

"Tell me about it." She says.

We walk inside the house. "Aunt Karen! Grace is here!" I yell throughout the house.

She comes downstairs. "I know I planed it." Se says smiling.

I jump up and down. "Thank you so much!" I yell and then run over to her to hug her.

"Let's go explore the house." I say and I grab Grace's hand.

"D*mn this is huge." She says.

"You can say that again." I say as I laugh.

For about 20 minutes I showed Grace around the house. There were a lot of "holy sh*t!" Or "d*mn!"

"So how long are you staying?" I ask as we go up to the third floor which is the guest bedroom.

"A week or longer." She says.

We walk into the guest bedroom. "This is where you'll be staying." I say as we walked into the room.

"Holy sh*t!" She says. I laugh.

"Dinner will be in an hour so if you need to freshen up the bathroom is over there." I say. I point to the bathroom. She nods.

"I have a perfect dinner." I say to my Aunt Karen. She's nods.

"Make me proud sweet one." She says. She kisses my forehead and goes down to the basement.

I pull out frozen steaks out of the freezer. I then take them out of the packages and put them on a plate. I wrap plastic over them and put them in the fridge so they can thaw.

I then go over to the freezer and pull out a bag of mashed potatoes. I throw them on the ground about 5 times so they can break apart. Then I put them in the microwave.

I pull out a package of gravy and I turn on the stove. I pull out a pan and pour water in it. Then I put the package of gravy in it.

I go over to the freezer and pull out broccoli. I go over to the microwave and pull out the mashed potatoes. I then put the broccoli in the microwave.

I put the mashed potatoes in a dish and put milk, butter, and salt in them. I keep them in the oven to keep them warm.

I pull out the steaks and they are kind of unthawed. I put them in the oven just to make them a little warm to thaw.

I take out the broccoli and add butter and salt. Then I put that in the oven.

I take out the steak. They are finally unthawed. I put them in a cuttings board. I pull out seasonings. I put garlic and an Italian seasoning. I put that all all of the steaks. I turn on the stove. I fry them in the pan until they are down. I fry them all for about 20 minutes.

I take out the two dishes in the oven and place them on the table. I set the table and then I put the steaks on the table on plates.

"Dinner!" I yell.

"I'm so hungry! This was the longest hour of my life." Grace says.

She sits down by me and then Aunt Karen comes and sits by me also.

"This looks so good. Thank you so much." Aunt Karen says.

"Let's say thanks." Grace says.

I nod. "God thank you for this food. Thank you for everything in life. This food with be great. I'm glad I get to have my Aunt Karen and my best friend next to me on this beautiful night. God bless our food." I say.

"Amen." All three of us says.

We go through hours of laughter and smiles and we eat until all of the food is gone.

"I'll clean up." Aunt Karen says.

"No way! I'm not letting you do it alone." Grace says.

"Now you missy, you can watch" Aunt Karen says.

"I'm helping." I say.

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"YOURE NOT HELPING." Aunt Karen yells.

"Fine fine fine!!" I yell. We all laugh.

I go upstairs and put on a pair of jeans with a red sweatshirt. I put on boots and comb my hair.

I go downstairs. I'll go outside and look at the stars. "I'm going to go up in the mountains." I say.

I walk out the door and up the mountains. I finally get up all the way and look out.

I sit in silence until someone breaks it.

"Layla?" A deep voice says.

I freeze. Never in my life would I ever hear that voice again.
