Chapter 6

Destiny POV

I woke up the next morning and headed downstairs to the kitchen. My mom was already in there cooking and gave me a big smile when she saw me.

"Happy Thanksgiving Destiny!" I had almost forgot what today was. After yesterday, I've been so distracted. My mom had asked Dave about what had happened and he told her they just had a disagreement. I wanted him to tell the truth but Chres told me to leave it alone so I kept my mouth shut.

"Happy Thanksgiving Ma." I gave her a kiss on the cheek and grabbed a glass of orange juice.

"Do you need help?"

"No honey I'm fine. This is just to make later easier on us. Guess who's coming over today."

"Who?" I went to take a sip of orange juice and my mom's smile got bigger

"The Harrison family." I almost spit out my juice. The Harrison family! Was she crazy?

"Mom you didn't really invite them did you?"

"Of course I did. They were in town so I told them to stop by."

"Mom do you not remember what happened between me and OJ?" OJ was the oldest son in the Harrison family. We dated while I was in high school and it was a disaster. He always tried to push me into sleeping with him and when I said no he would act like a jerk until I apologized for saying no. I should have never dated him but he showed interest and he kept me out of the house and away from Dave so I dealt with him. I never told my mom this of course but she knew we dated. We eventually broke up because he cheated on me which he tried to blame me for.

"I remember but you guys have grown up since then. You should be able to get along for one day."

"But mom-"

"No buts Destiny. I've already invited them. I can't take it back now. So go upstairs and get ready for today so you can help me cook." I know I'm 19 but I still know not to mess with my mom. I put my glass in the sink and headed upstairs to take a shower. I had just finished doing my hair and makeup when I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in!" Chres opened the door and walked in wearing a new shirt I bought him. It matched the burnt orange in my dress and it looked great on him. He gave me a smile and closed my door.

"Happy Thanksgiving." I gave him a smile and walked over to him. I rapped my arms around his neck and he grabbed my waist. 

"You look beautiful." I smile and gave him a quick kiss

"Thank you. You look good too."  He smirked and brushed his shoulder

"Well you know I try." I laughed at him and pulled away

"Now I regret saying that." I sat down on my bed to put an my heels and Chres sat next to me. When I looked up he had a box in his hand. The box was the perfect size to hold a ring in it. My heart stopped. Please don't be what I think it is. Please don't be what I think it is. I repeated this in my head trying to calm my nerves. Chres must have noticed me panicking because he quickly tried to explain.

"No No. It's not a ring." I let out a long breathe and felt myself relax. 

"I just thought I would get you something. I saw you looking at these and I wanted to get them for you." He gave me a smile and handed me the box. I took it and opened to lid to see the earrings I had been looking at for months. They were from Cartier and were gold drop earrings with gold leaves at the end of every tassel. When I saw them I fell in love with them and planned on saving up. 

"Chres they're beautiful. How do you afford these?" I knew how much they cost and they were weren't cheap

"I worked out a deal with the owner and I ended up being able to afford them. I knew you wanted them badly so..." He gave me another smile and I couldn't help but fall for him more. I leaned over and gave him a long, lingering kiss
