" Phoebe, I'll call you back " I said as I ended the call while trying to open the door. It's 3 in the fucking morning and I'm still out, Nana will kill me.
For your information, I am not drunk, I just stayed at Aunt Carol's gallery, painting and I wanted to finish it today so yeah.
" It's locked, fuck. " I grunted. Why do I have to leave my key inside? I should have known that I'll be coming home this kind of early. Trying to be as quiet as possible as I try to go sneak in the back by finding it " locked? " I panicked. " What the hell? " great, just great. Why do I own a brain if I don't even use it?. Pissed, I tried to call Matt. Few rings until he finally decided to answer, " Hey " obviously didn't look at the caller ID, " Can you open the back door? " I said impatiently because if I stayed longer, Nana will probably be awake cooking breakfast and who knows maybe I'll be the main cuisine.
" A?, What are you doing out? " he said curiously as he opened the door. " Don't be so nosey, it might give you headache " I scoffed while going upstairs. " Okay " he mocked. Why do good people have annoying brothers? Yeah, I have another one, a half brother to be exact, he's younger by the way but he's strongly annoying just like Matt, it gives me disease.
Finally, I get to sleep for the rest of the day. I thought as I closed the door. I decided to change into my pyjamas and jump straight to bed before passing out.
*knock, knock*
" Matt, leave me alone "
" It's Nana, sweetie " the intruder said. " I have something for you, can you open the door, please? "
Sighing as I got up to open the door. What can I say? I love my Nana and I can't resist her sweet voice when it comes to this kind of situation. " Good Morning Nana " I greeted as she chuckled. Confused as I sat beside her on the bed. " Your mother called " She sighed trying to find the words to continue " She wanted to talk to you this afternoon " I smiled as I signalled her to go on. " She wants to meet you, Abigail. " Happy, excited, overwhelmed, shocked, mixed up emotions is what I feel right now. I look at her with glowing eyes and hugged her immediately. " Oh Nana, you don't know how much I've waited for this to happen. Thank you, thank you so much " I screamed. I can't wait for it, I haven't seen her but she always calls to check up on us. Even though my parents aren't together any more I'm still happy I have them both, we have them both, healthy and alive. I know it's unfair that she doesn't know me like my dad does but who cares she still loves me and she cares for me more than any mother who left their daughter even after giving birth. It's just, I don't find it really entertaining to mope because of what happened in the past. What matters is the things happening right now and the things that will happen in the future.
Nana smiled politely at me and kissed my forehead. " Your mother said to give this to you " she said as she handed a medium-sized box. " Thank you again, Nana " I grinned. " After you get your morning routine done go get some breakfast I made, yeah? " I nodded while opening the box myself.
I scanned the blue floral Sunday dress and hugged it tightly against my chest, I love every bit of it. Probably because it's the first dress that mum gave me and also my first dress. I placed the dress on the bed and sat on my window seat cushion as I re-read the letter that came along inside the box.
My Dearest Abigail,
I can't wait for today sweetheart, I hope your also as ecstatic as I am right now. Anyway, here's a little offering that I know will look perfect on you. Wear it today okay? Don't worry there's more where that came from. Looking forward on seeing you, Honey. I love you, xx
All the love,
Mum
I can already hear Matt and Alec shouting as I head downstairs with my matching pyjamas. " Nice outfit, sis " Matt laughed. I rolled my eyes as the little delinquent agreed " Yeah A, cars look good on you " Shrugging it off while I pour myself a glass of fruit juice. " Where's Papa? " I asked. " He drove off early " Alec said while taking a bite of his burger. " When is he going to visit again? " I questioned again as I continue on chewing on my bacon. " You ask so many questions, why don't you just finish your plate? " I mumbled an okay towards Matt because I think he's annoyed and It's the first time. See, Papa is my dad's best friend, he's a cool guy and awesome I might add. He visits us once a week and every time he's vacant.
" Hey Dad " I greeted as I walked past his bedroom with his door wide open letting it spill out the whole view of the room. " Hey Abi " he greeted back. " What are you doing? " I said confused. " Oh, just packing up for the seminar " he chuckled while getting clothes from the closet. He's a doctor so he has this curricular that I don't want to know about. I kissed his cheek and wished him good luck for whatever he's going to do and head back to my room.
9:30 am, time sure is slow today. I decided to go take a shower after I message and update Phoebe.
Abi : Guess who's going on a date with her mother!
Phoebe : Who?
I rolled my eyes at Phoebe's dumb act.
Phoebe : Just kidding A, lmao ;)
I can definitely picture her laughing at her own statement
Abi : Anyway, she gave me a dress!
Phoebe : Holy shit, legit?
Phoebe : So, you're gonna wear it or...?
Phoebe : okay, uhm... let me have it if you're not
Phoebe : lol, you know it's just a joke. right?
Phoebe : okay, send me a pic of you wearing it. ;)
Phoebe sure is typing really fast, what kind of thumbs does she have?
Abi : Okay, just chill tf out
Abi : I'll send it to you later
I replied my last text as I jump in the shower to make myself clean and dust-free.
I can definitely hear my phone ringing while I brush my teeth. Probably from Phoebe, that girl can't wait for sure. I ignored it as I proceed to doing whatever I'm doing. Stepping out of the shower and checking the time, 10:05 am, I think it's too early don't you think? Drying my hair and wasting time by replying to Phoebe. " dude wait, it's getting kind of annoying "
Phoebe : Ikr
Phoebe : don't forget the picture, slug
Phoebe : get it? slug? bcos you're slow
Why is she my friend again? Pfft Nevermind. I stared at myself in the mirror, seeing the dress hug my curves perfectly and show my assets flawlessly. It's fabulous, the dress is amazing as I partner it with my black stockings that brings out the shape of my legs. I decided to wear one of my black heels, as if I have many of them, I laughed to myself.
Phoebe : Dude, the picture?
Oh yeah, I totally forgot.
Abi : *Picture Message*
Phoebe : Wow, It'll look great on me
Abi : -_- really?
Phoebe : Really, just imagine it
Abi : Okay you win, but does it look okay on me?
Phoebe : Okay? you look good A, don't worry. :)
Abi : Thanks P, :D
Phoebe : Goodluck A, I love you, ttyl :*
Abi : I love you too P, later :*
It's 12:30, I need to head out, I'm going to meet her in 30 minutes. I grabbed my purse and cellphone that is lying on my bed and hurried downstairs. " Nana, Dad!, I'm leaving! " I shouted but suddenly got stopped by my 5-year old brother " You look like a.. a.. " I raised an eyebrow as I wait for his insult " You look cute " shocked and happy at the same time, I hugged him lightly and kissed his cheek, thanking him afterwards " Ew A, that's disgusting " I giggled as I grabbed his chin " Tell Matty I said bye, I'll be back later " as I said my I love you to him I heard his ruffled reply and it made my day. I was wrong, Maybe this day isn't so bad after all.
