Remember December

Chapter:30

He smile as he stare at me. He chuckle. "Can't this wait till after we eat?" he grab his plate.

I purse my lips as I hear the door close. Traitor. I'll get him tomorrow. "Is it bad?" I sat down across from him.

He pause from chewing. "What?"

I resist the urge to roll my eyes. "Bethany, is she good or Bad?" I cut my potato open.

He smile as he shook his head. "No and did I tell you the steak taste good" I smile as I chew.

"You're just saying that" I continue chewing.

"How are you feeling?" I stop digging in my potato. "What do you mean?" I look up at him confused.

"Well the magazines, and then knowing tomorrow the reporters" He sigh as he rub the back of his neck.

I shook my head. "Eric I'll be fine, remember-

He smile. "Yeah I know in this together"

We smile as we look at each other. We return back to eating. All you could hear was the sound of cutting and scraping. It was getting so boring. "So how was work?" I ask as I sip my champagne.

He bit his lip. "it was okay, the workers knew what to do in this situation, we call the People's Magazines and file a complaint and some other stuff"

I drop the fork onto the plate. "And what other things?" I ask him to keep going.

"Well considering that reporter wasn't family, plus he was trespassing w-

I held up my hand. "Eric that was months ago, you shouldn't worry about"

"Chels that was an invasion of my privacy, I don't want that to happen to you again" He sigh.

I smile and let it go. I nod. "Thanks, so how is the company going?"

He sip on his champagne. "It's going really great, I was just in a meeting with my father's friend, he wants to open another business in Chicago, but we have to find a spot and it may take months with construction"

I nod. "So have you thought about it?"

He nod. "Yeah by our calculations The construction will be completed by December, then we have to bring in a contractor, the-

"No not that, have you thought of where you will be, when you take over?, you have a company in Miami, here, L.A, San Francisco, and by December one in Chicago, have you thought of your future and where you will reside at?" I bit my lip as I poke my lettuce.

"What do you mean I? It's us. Won't you be there Chels with me?" he ask as he stare at me.

I bit my lip. "Er- The sound of knocking commence at the door. Neither of us got up to answer it.

"That can wait, please answer the question" Eric reach over and held my hand.

"Eric I wil-

The sound of banging commence on the door. He sigh as we knew whoever was at the door won't leave. "I'll be right back" he stood up and walk over to the door.

I sigh as I stare back at my food. I push away the plate as I got up. "Chantal, Mom what are you both doing here?" My eyes widen. Them two here. I quickly got up and walk over to the door.

I plaster on a grimace. "Anna, Chantal, this was........"

Anna smile at Eric as she lift her hands in excitement. "Surprise honey, I rush out as soon as I saw the audacity on that magazine" She wrap her arms around Eric. "My poor baby, I didn't want this to be out" Eric chuckle as he release his mother hand from around him.

"Mom I'm fine" he wrap his arm around me as he brought me close.

"That's great, your mom just wanted to stop by to see how you were and there was some things that I need to do at the company" Chantal said as she and Anna walk in.

I look up at Eric. "She works at Gardner Company?" He shrug his shoulder.

"My is fabulous" Anna sat down on the couch as she place her briefcase on the coffee table.

I walk over to the table and commence cleaning up. "It's so nice of you to clean up for us Chelsea, I knew there was something about you that I like" Anna gush as she grab the Tv remote.

I bit my tongue to not retaliate with vulgarity. "Yes, well can you run it by me again why are you both here?" I ask politely.

Chantal snort. "Damn witch can't hear"

I drop the plate in the sink. "Damn whore I can tell that vibrator aint working for you"

I smile as I felt Chantal glare on me.

"Look gold digging slut you will not insult my Daughter in law" Anna spat.

I chuckle. "Anna stop talking about yourself, we all know what you are" I roll my eyes as I sat on the stool.

Anna narrow her eyes at me as she clench her briefcase tightly.

"Here's the copy of the lawsuit, we file" Eric said as he enter the room. Anna plaster on a smile. "Thanks honey, now we can get things rolling"

"So Eric are we still up for next week?" Chantal ask him.

I look at Eric confused. "What's next week?" he ask her.

"Your doctor appointment remember I promised I go with you for emotional support" She said.

"Actually I-

Anna snap he fingers. "Oh yeah you did say that, well your apt is with Dr. rollis at noon don't be late you two, I already have your name down"

Eric eyes widen. "What do you mean mom? Chels and I are going"

Anna wave her hand. "That's nonsense how could she go? No outsu-

"Mother what on earth are you talking about? It's Chels and I, no-

Anna clutch her forehead tightly. "Anna are you alright?" I ask her worriedly.

I quickly grab a glass and fill it with water and ice. I place it in her hand quickly and stare at her. I heard her breath quicken.

"Mom what's wrong?" we all crowd around her as she drink the water slowly.

"I'm fine, must have gotten light headed by the recycled air" she wave her arm at us.

I frown. She's lying. I know. I scan her from head to toe checking for signs of her condition. She scowl as she caught my sight. "Darling I'm fine, now let's get back to work"

I dry my hair with the towel as I exit the bathroom. I sigh as I jump at Anna appearance in the room. "What are you-

"How did you find out bitch?" She spat.

I roll my eyes as I walk over to my dresser. "What are you talking about Anna?" I kept up the confuse face as I search my dresser for pants.

"You know, don't act innocent" I ignore her as I grab shorts. I jump as the drawer was slam close. I roll my eyes as I turn around. "Look Anna I advise you to back off, you sure you're feeling alright?" I place my hand on her forehead.

She scowl as she slap my hand away. "It's so cute how you didn't tell Eric?" she smile as she sat back on the bed.

I put on my shorts under the towel. "Still confused want to elaborate?"

She chuckle as she got up. "You know Secrets can destroy us, it'll be a pity if it destroy what you guys have oops I mean had" I narrow my eyes at her as she walk out the room.

She's up to something. I groan as I knew this spring break will be ruin or something Anna and Chantal will happen to screw up this vavca.
