One Between Two

~11~

        Tonight, Mom is coming home from Paris. we have'nt meet in such a long time, so me, mom, Ray and Gio are going to have dinner in an Italian Restaurant. we love italian food ! If you're wondering about Aris and i, well. we are great. i have told him that im going to talk about him to my mom. he was nervous but he said that its for the best.  mom said to wear quite formal clothes so i did. i put on some light make-up and i also put on a winged eyeliner. i wear a short blue laced-dress with a raw amethyst necklace, its my birthstone. i pull my hair into an infinity braid tieback and i insert a purple bow. i refuse to wear flats nor heels so i use a royal blue high top converse. i also grab my blue Aldo purse and run downstairs. downstairs, Ray and Gio are ready. Ray is wearin a white shirt with a pair of black trousers, while Gio wears a black shirt with a pair of white trousers. 

"Hey Els ! you done ?" Ray asked as i flopped to the couch

"Yeah im done, whats the matter with theese semi-formal clothes ? its like im gonna go to  a dance or something !" i whine

"yeah, i don't know either..." Gio said

"Are you ready Kids ?"mom asked as she walked downstairs, 

"yeah we are mom !" we all said at the same time.

we all went outside and mom put her arm around my shoulder and kissed my cheek.

"you look so growned-up no..." mom whisper into my ear. i just nodded and smiled softly

we all went inside Gio's mercedes benz G63. Gio drives and Ray sits beside him, while me and mom. we sit at the back. Gio drives for about half an hour to this beautiful, fancy italian reestaurant. we put our car through valet.

"Reservations for the Hailees please" mom said to the administration,, a person in  a suit and tie then guide us to a table.

the table has 6 seats, i was wondering if someone would join us. i kinda hope its my father, i know my imagination is out of control. but hey, a girl can dream right ? to this day, i still wonder why my father left. i still hope i can meet him one day and i can ask all the questions ive been so curious about. im angry, im sad and i miss him. 

"Get yourself together Kendall..." i murmured.we then all take a seat and a waitress gives us the menus. we all then look at the menu and started ordering.

"i'll have the classic creamy beef fettucinne and a glass of chocolate milk please" i said politely. yes i do have craving for chocolate milk right now.

"and i will have the classic chicken par-mi-gia-na fettucinne with tiramisu smoothie" Ray said he then move closer to me and whispers

"we'll share" me and Ray always share our food, i don't even know why. i just chuckled

"Hello Darling !" a tall man about 47 years old then came to our table and kiss my mom's cheek. he also sits on the 'leftover' chair ! i was hoping my father to sit on it ! not some random-ass guy !!!

i stand up with slight anger

"Mom ? who is this ?" i point at the random-ass guy

"Kendall, please sit down..." mom said softly. so i did

"Giovandi, Raymond and Kendall... i have not told you about this because i wanted to make it a suprise for tonight... this is my boyfriend Josh..." mom said keeping her heads down

WHAT FUCKING HELL ???!!!!

"I thought, this night would be a family dinner ? and i mean you, gio, ray and me ! and i was hoping for my father ! i never wanted this to happen !" i said increasing my volume and storming out of the Restaurant. i walk over to the parking lot and well, sit there.

"Elspeth !!!" Raymond shouted running to me, he instantly hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"you broke mom's heart you know... just imagine you and Aris can't be together because of your family ! you dont want that don't you ?" he said softly wiping my tears

"I know you are still hoping..." i said putting his hand off my face

"where did you know ?" he said firmly

"Ray, we grow up together. it like you are my twin brother... we think similarly Ray..." i said buriying my face into his chest and he hugged me tightly as i cry

"just because i hope doesn't mean im angry when it doesn't happen..." he said letting go of the hug

"Never stop dreaming Hailee..." he said tucking a hair behind my ear

"Kendall ! Raymond !" someone called us, its Josh WTF
