Discovering Love

Chapter Two

Haley/Flame POV:

A/N: Picture of Haley's mom above.

I sit here picking at my salad as my manager goes on and on about pointless things. I try my best to listen to what she's saying but all I can see is her mouth moving, nothing is entering my ears. All that is on my mind is going back to Atlanta,Georgia for my three month vacation. Suddenly, she snaps her perfectly manicured fingers in my face grasping my attention back to her. I internally sigh as she says "Did you even hear a word I said? "

I stare blanky at her as I 'shake my head no' and watch her groan in frustration. Samantha is genuinely beautiful her dirty blonde hair is mostly always tied up in a neat professional bun but I've seen it out and it falls a little pass her shoulders, she has a beautiful body her small frame fits perfectly with her long tanned legs she is from California so her skin is naturally gorgeous, her blue eyes are the most gorgeous shade of blue I've ever seen before except for my dad and brother's own but they change shades of blue due to her emotions and right now they are a very dark shade of blue which means she's angry, Oh no.. When Samantha's angry bad things can happen.

But I'm so surprised at the words that leaves her mouth a few seconds after she regains herself she gives me a small smile while I stare at her wide eyed before saying "I get it , you're very excited about your vacation but ten more minutes and this boring meeting will be over hun" I grin at her and nod gesturing for her to continue this time giving her my full attention.

Twenty minutes later I'm on my way back home to get dressed for my plane ride to Atlanta. As Samantha parks in front of my building I gesture for her to get out of the car.When she does I give her a big hug she is definitely the best manager ever. She offers me a huge smile and bids me goodbye.

I stare at the car until I can't see it anymore then enter the lobby where the polite elderly lady that lives on the 13th floor holds the door open for me, her name is Mrs. Jennings her and her husband are so cute they make me jealous. They're very rich though, which confuses me as to why they aren't snobs like ninety nine percent of the rich population that lives in this building. I smile at her while giving her a small wave and  entered the elevator pressing the button to go to the twentieth floor. This elevator was fairly large and could hold about 40 people in here. It's never crowded around this time mainly because most people that live here leave for work in the early morning and don't arrive until very late at night mainly because they're business men and women.

Breaking me from my train of thought the elevator dinged signaling that it reached my floor. I stepped out the elevator and made my way to my apartment. I quickly pulled out my keys unlocking the door. I entered locking the door and kicking off my shoes in the process.

Seeing that my bag was already packed I dragged them in the living room. I then head up to my bathroom and take a shower and get dressed in my undergarments repeating my regular morning routine. I head to my hair and makeup room and applied some makeup. I filled in my brows apply some light pink eyeshadow, mascara, and a very light pink lipstick that looked the same color as my natural lips; smacking my lips to rub it in more. Then I quickly put my hair in a high messy bun pulling out my bangs.

Looking in the mirror I smiled widely at my reflection. I really did a great job. Heading back to my room I pulled out my outfit that I picked out this morning specifically for my flight, It was a white tube top, a nude cardigan a white ripped jeans and my nude heels. Grabbing my nude Michael Kors purse that contained my phone, keys and other necesities I walked to my full body mirror nodding at my reflection.

"Ms.Feilds we're here." was all i heard before I practically broke open the door to see my mom, brother and dad standing on my front porch; all grinning from ear to ear.

I ran as fast as I could've in heels to them as they engulfed me into a group hug then going into their separate hugs. Of course, my mom was first. Sighing against her small frame that was draped around me I felt so content I swear she gave the best hugs, her green eyes shined brightly as they looked at me with adoration filled in her green pupils that matched my own.I could see she have grown a couple of wrinkles and her light red hair was braided in a crown braid leaving her bangs out and she was also wearing light red lipstick. She wore a bright coloured sun dress with red, yellow and orange flowers scattered around it. The dress clung to her waist and flared out stopping just above her knees. She was also wearing heels similar to mine but they were white and a little shorter.
"Honey I've missed you so much." She said about to have an emotional melt down right on the pavement.

However, my dad caught sight of her and held her tightly to him. My brother Austin was the second one in line to bombard me with a hug. He held me so tightly to him I almost couldn't breathe.
"Um, Austin I still have to live to give dad a hug." I whispered almost out of breath.
He laughs. "Okay, okay I just missed you so much." Awww he's still as cute as ever even at the age of eighteen.
"I missed you too Auzzy."  I rufle his hair and he playfully glares at me I smile at him nonetheless. He was a miniture version of my dad and I was the miniture version of my mom. How ironic, isn't it? Austin had dark black hair that was always styled in a quiff he had a mixture of my mom and my dad's eyes it was a blue-greenish color they were so gorgeous I wish I had those. He had a strong jaw line and a nice built stature. He was a player though so the looks had to come with his cocky attitude around girls. He wore a white V-Neck that clung to his body, a pair of black skinnies, black combat boots and his typical bad boy leather jacket that I sent him for his eightenth birthday. My dad then appeared beside Austin and he smiled at me as his bright blue eyes glimmered from the sun looking almost like the sea. His hair was jet black and slicked downward and he was wearing a black Armani suit with his tie loosened he looked like he just came home from work, I jumped into my dad's arms. My dad was so big compared to me my head layed on his chest and his chin layed on my head. I don't know how long we stood there like that but it was pretty long because when I looked over my shoulder I noticed that my driver, my bags and my mother and brother were long gone. I glance upward at my dad and he was already smiling at me. I grinned.
"I missed you so much princess." He said still glancing downward at me and kissed my forehead.
"I missed you more dad." I sighed contently as recognition came to me that I was finally home.

"Get your buts inside here I made chocolate chip cookies and Austin is about to devour all." I knew it was my mom's voice. I almost caused my dad to fall face forward as hard as I pushed him so I could go get some of the deliciousness.

I walked inside and noticed there were only two cookies left on the table. Dad didn't even get a chance to taste a crumb of either of them because I ate them in less than a minute. My mom, dad and brother looked at me strangely, I furrowed my eyebrows at them and said " So a girl can't eat some cookies?"  I heard my brother mumble something along the lines of "more like a dog fighting over a chew toy." I roll my eyes at him as he exited the living room heading upstairs "I'll be down when it's dinner time, if Haley doesn't eat all of it." I glared at his retrieving back. He ate more cookies than me plus I work out it's not really a big deal.
"Come on sweetheart, I'll help you unpack so we could start on dinner." My mom practically dragged me upstairs to my room. Groaning as she smiled from ear to ear knowing she was going to talk until I fell asleep, maybe even after then.
