Chapter 1: California

I walk into the Joie de Vivre, a fashion company my mom created designing women's clothing then slowly went into men's wear too. I started working there after I graduated NYU for design. My mom offered me a job so I took it.

''Hey cutie'' I hear Alex. Alex has been one of my best friends since 3rd grade. He's a tall guy like 5'10 with light blonde hair and hazel brown eyes eyes

''Hey'' I give him a big hug. Then I say bye and get to work. When I get into my office and start working on the work I need to catch up on because I had to go out to London with my mom and her new boyfriend of the month for work. A little while later, there's a knock on my door and I cant even speak before the door swings open.

''You should really answer more quickly'' my mom says.

''I would if you give me more time to answer''

''Anyways, Matt invited us over for dinner tonight at his house so we can all get together and met his kid'' My mom smiles sitting down on one of the chairs in my room crossing her leg over the other in her black slim designer dress.

''I cant go, I have to much work to do and'' my mom cuts me off. ''Your going young lady, I wasnt asking you. I was telling you.'' my mom glares at me.

''Fine but im going to have to leave really it's Alex's birthday, where is it?'' I ask sighing.

''Pougkeepsie'' she answers.

''Mom! That's fucking 2 hours away!'' I moan.

''Yeah so, just get out early and get Guyer to drive you up there'' my mom answers simpliy.

''Mom, dont you remember I let him off because he had a funeral to go to for his dad back in Mississippi'' I moan.

''Oh yeah! Well we ride together then. Meet me in front of the building at 4'' my mom says standing up then walking out. I pound my head on my desk then dial my friend Cass number.

''Hello chicka, what's up girl?'' she beams. She's such a happy and energic all the time. Which makes me so glad to have her as my best friend.

''Something came up and I'm going to be late tonight'' I explain to her.

''What?'' she asks.

''My mom wants me to go have dinner with her boyfriend and daughter" I sigh.

"She has a new one?!"

"No surprisingly its the same one" I answer.

"Have fun, i'll tell the other guys you can't make it".

"Thanks, Kit Kat" I laugh her.

"No problem have fun, Lollypop" with that she hangs up. We gave each other candy nicknames when we were in elementary school.

~~~~~~~~Sometime Later~~~~~~~~

I walk out of the office finding my moms limo waiting. I slide into the backseat finding my mom on the phone giggle like a little school girl. She must be talking to her boyfriend, Matt.

"Go ahead, Collin" I tell my moms driver he nods and starts driving down the street.

"No" my mom giggles as I text Andy and Cass. "I love you too" she smiles. Wait! Did my mom, June Tavion, just say "love"?! Holy shit! Then she hangs up and I just look at her.
