Lauren's POV

"Mom, can we go to the observatory? I wanted to do some star gazing tonight, please? I heard that the stars will be really pretty tonight." I plop down on the couch next to my mother and pleaded her as I saw her in the living room, watching some news.

"I'll ask your dad first," She said and fish her phone out of her pocket and dialed my dad's number.

I bet he's busy right now, because he's always busy. If he doesn't have any operation on going then, he is having a staff meeting. Yep, my dad is a surgeon. My dad, Michael Jauregui, he is one of the best surgeon in the country. We have a reallu special bond, I'm daddy's girl. Since I'm his unica hija, and his only daughter, he buys me whatever I want and brings me wherever I want. And in return, I'll ace my subjects, which is pretty easy, considering that I got in Carrolton, not because of the money but because they offered me an academic scholarship.

You know, unlike some other parents, everytime my dad got really busy with his work and he feels like he doesn't pay too much attention to my mom and I, he will try his best to make it up to both my mom and I. Every weekend, he will always takes us out and bring us whenever we want. I love my dad so much.

And my mom, Clara Jauregui, she's a business woman. And my family is the richest family in the state. I actually don't care about our status, a lot of people in my school wanted to be my friend but I know they only wanted me because I have a lot of money. The only realy friend that I have is Lucy Vives. She's cool. We met last year in my school Carrolton, we're in the same grade level and at first, I was scared to approach her because she really looks so intimidating but she was the one who talked to me first. And as the time goes by, Lucy and I clicked and we became bestfriends and I realized that we are like the same person, we're like soulmates.

"He's not answering his phone," My mom declared and lock her phone and stuff it back inside her pocket. I gues she got tired of dialling my dad's number and didn't get any respond. "So... let's go to his office? Maybe we can drop by a little visit to him?" I squealed and my mom and I rush out of the house and went straight to her car and we made our way to the hospital where my dad was working.

I knocked on my father's office and waited till her opened it. I cannot contain myself for being excited. I really really want to see the stars and doing star gazing with my mom, I know it's going to be special. I love how my mom and I both love studying the stars and the galaxy. I don't know why but I'm always fascinated when it comes to the universe.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I saw the door suddenly open and saw my dad standing in front of me, wearing his lab coat. I instantly wrap my arms around his waist and greeted him, "Papa!"

"Mija, Clara. What are you guys doing here?" He have a huge smile pn his face as he told my mom and I to come in. We all settle ourselves down on the sofa.

"Well, your daughter wanted to tell you something. I was calling you but you're not answering your phone." Clara said as she took a seat right next to her husband. And I'm on the other side of my dad.

My dad's gaze adverted from my mom and turn to me. He quirked his eyebrows up, "I think I was at the cafeteria at that time. I just finished eating." He stop and asks, "Yeah? What is it?"

I fiddle with my fingers that's resting on my lap, I don't know why I get so nervous when I wanted to him something. "Go on, Mija. Tell your Papa what you want," My mom encourage me and I lift my head up and look at the surgeon.
