Surviving My Brother's Best Friend [ON HOLD]

Dinner

** thank you ButterPuff9 for the amazing cover! I love it!**

I take a deep breath and smooth out my dress.

"Cee you ready?", I heard Adam call out from downstairs.

"Yeah coming.",I shout back.

I take a final look at myself. I was wearing a white lace top tucked inside a high waist black skirt that reached till my mid thigh, with my Jimmy Choo high heel ankle length black boots.

Dinner with my parents was always a big deal.

They always kept dinner in fancy and very expensive restaurants.

So even if I didn't want to, I had to dress up pretty.

"Cee?!", I heard Adam again.

"On my way.",I call back.

I pick up my golden purse and rushed downstairs.

"Let's go!", I said, even though I didn't want to.

.................

Coming here feels like déjà vu.

If you haven't guessed, mom dad have arranged dinner in an expensive French Restaurant.

Adam hands over the keys of his BMW to the vault parking person. It's like when we went to meet Violet.

Only I wasn't nervous then.

"Let's go?", Adam asked.

"Yeah.", I groaned," I did not get this ready for nothing. "

Adam laughed as we enter the restaurant.

"Charles Whittaker. ", Adam said to the receptionist.

"Please this way monsieur madame. ", she said leading us towards an independent booth.

Of course. My parents had to keep it personal from where I couldn't run.

She opened the door to a well decorated small room.

Mom dad were already there.

"Adam, Grace!", mom said enthusiastically as she comes over and hugged us.

Time to put up that fake smile and "happy-to-see-you" attitude, which both Adam and I have perfected over years.

"Hi mom. We've missed you so much.", Adam said hugging her.

"Me too honey.", mom replied.

"Hello dad.", Adam greeted.

Dad just nodded. That's why I don't bother with the formalities.

We sit back on our table and mom starts asking about our lives and telling us about theirs. Honestly neither Adam nor me were interested in hearing where they went,whom they met,what they talked. But for her sake we pretend to be interested.

After twenty minutes mom say," Let's order our dinner. Shall we?"

We all immediately look in the menu.

After we order it takes less than five minutes for it come.

I take a look at my Sole Meuniére, a French fish dish.

Looked good.

"So kids we actually had to tell you something.", mom says looking at us.

I look at Adam with the I-knew-it expression.

He just shakes his head.

"So actual we won't be here for Christmas. I know you both don't like to spend your Christmas alone.",mom said.

I raised my eyebrows. Christmas is less than a month away.

She looks over to dad who is looking at us impassive.

"So we decided you two to go on a trip to Key West, Florida. With your friends.", mom said smiling.

I look at her not moving. I tried to grasp what she was saying.

A trip to Key West?

"What?", I manage to stammer out.

"Key West. It's five hours from here. And a great place to visit during Christmas.", mom says.

"With friends?", Adam asked.

"Yes. If they are free and there parents are okay with it. "

I share a look of disbelief with Adam.

"We looked through the ticket availability of flight and it is available on 20 December. So we though how about a trip to Key West from 24 to 26 December?",mom says.

"It wouldn't matter. We could have got you tickets anyhow.", dad said boasting his power and reach.

Adam said," We'll need to ask first. "

"Oh sure of course.", mom replied chirpily.

The rest of the dinner went uneventful ly. Because Adam and I were too busy still trying to absorb the news.

For the first time in the whole day I felt so happy.

A trip to Key West with my gang!!
