"Nothing brings people together like good food."
"Stop fidgiting with your fingers Ashley, its annoying." Derek said irritated.
I was nervous. My hands were getting clammy and my heart was beating way too fast.
"I'm scared okay"
"My mom isn't a cannibal."
"Relax Ashley" he added.He pressed the doorbell. It was a small two storey house. There was a lawn outside his house with a number of roses and lillies. The house was beautiful and of contemporary design. Derek and his parents were rich for sure since he has an audi convertible but seeing the house, it feels like they're simple people who love gardening. It was grey and white. Plain and basic giving it a complete homely vibe.
The woman who opened the door was so beautiful. Mrs Walker. I can imagine where Derek got his genes from. She was tall arround 5'7 (its tall for a woman), blonde hair in a perfect bob, the same greenish blue eyes and pale skin. She was wearing a brown vintage dress.
"Hello Mrs. Walker" I greeted her happily.
"Ohh call me Victoria." She beamed at me and gave me a quick hug. "Come inside."
Once we were inside, Cocoa woofed at me and licked my hand this time. We were seated in the living room. It was huge. The colour scheme was grey, white and blue. It had two light grey sofas with a white glass table and a vase with fresh roses in it.
"Derek has told me alot about you. So how do find New York?" she asked.
"I love it here." I replied.
"I've always wanted to visit Dubai and other Asian countries." she said.
"Dubai is amazing. There are alot of waterparks and theme parks, Burj Khalifa and even the Palm islands. I have been to only a few Asian countries and their architecture is beyond beautiful."
"I'll have to force Morris to visit Dubai for our next trip. You should join us Ashley. You can be our guide over there." She winked.
"Sure. You have a beautiful house Victoria." I smiled at her.
"Thankyou. I love the dress you're wearing. Floral prints are my favourite." she complimented.
So thats why Derek selected it. I smiled at him. He was sitting next to Victoria and looked like an innocent boy. A very hot innocent boy, if I may add.
"She's looking for a career in fashion designing Mom." Derek told her.
"Aah! Thats a very good choice dear. Why don't you try fashion blogging? You can manage that with your job and its related to something you love." She suggested.
"Thats a very good idea! I'll surely think about it."
"Yeah then I can be your personal photographer." Derek winked.
"Bikini shoots and you know" he said smirking.To that, Victoria smacked his arm. "Not in front of me boy."
"Oww! Sorry mom." he winced.
I just chuckled at them.
"Ashley dear is something wrong with your brows?" she asked scrunching up her face.
