Soul Searching

Chapter 3

Finally I found my airplane sit. I sat down and the person sitting next to me was a girl. She seems like a college girl. It seems like she's older than me. I try to put my carry on the shelf above us and I sat down next to the girl. We both look at each other and she smiled at me. "Hi I'm Olive." She introduce herself and she's so pretty. I like her perfect skin it was a perfect tan.  I'm so jealous she has such nice skin. She's like a model or something. "I'm Melody or Mel for short." I also introduce myself and I gave her a shake hands. "So what brings you to London?" She ask. "I'm here for college actually, and I also live in London." Olive added. I nodded to what she said. Then that makes her older than me. "Oh I'm here to visit my father, also I plan to find a summer job while I'm here. And..."

Olive seems like a cool and warm caring person so I told her all about Dylan. It was a long ride to London and I told Olive all about Dylan, what his like, what he does, and etc. She seem cool about it for me talking about Dylan.

"Wow this Dylan guy sounds amazing. But don't you think it's a little bit dangerous to meet a stranger you only met in the internet. I mean who knows he might be a killer." Olive seems to be worried about me. I know this idea seems dangerous, but I have a feeling that Dylan won't be a bad guy. "I know Olive, but I have this feeling that his not a bad guy." I replied to her. "Okay honey, but if anything goes wrong give me a call and I'll come and save you." Olive is such a cool girl. I'm really glad I met her here in the plane.

"Awww. Thanks Olive."

"No worries honey."

Olive and I spend our time in the plane talking and getting to know each other. She told me that she used to have a jerk exboyfriend that played her feelings. She hated that guy so much that she doesn't want any of her friend be played by that guy. To me it sound like this guy is a heartless jerk. I told Olive about Rachel and Sam were my childhood best friends and now they finally became a couple. "Awww... This Rachel and Sam's love story sounds romantic. I wish I could meet them both." Olive said and place both of her hands on her cheek. Olive told me about her boyfriend in New York. She told me that she visit New York just to see her boyfriend. It's so nice that both of them have long distance relationship and they still work it out. Maybe Dylan and I can do the same someday.

Few hours later we finally arrived London. Olive and I got off the plane and grab or bags. "Okay honey here's my number. Just give me a call anytime okay." She gave me a sweet smile and hug me. "Thank you Olive. I'll see you around then." I hug her back and we went our separate ways.

I went outside the airport waiting for my dad to pick me up here in the airport. It's been 3 hours and my dad hasn't arrived yet. I face palm myself. Why would dad be so late? Did he forgot about me? I got a little mad and I took a cab. I was finally on my way to dad's house.

After a long ride I arrived at dad's subdivision, there were a lot of mansions there. I think rich people lives here. My cab driver stop at the address that I told him. We stop in front of a big manor. I exit the cab and gave the cab driver my payment. It's a good thing that I have a key to dad's manor.

I open the door and enter the manor. "Hello?!" I shouted to get attention, but it seems that there were no people inside the manor. It was so huge and I feel like I might get lost. I close the door behind me and walk inside the manor. It was so beautiful in the manor, but I still hate my dad for being busy all the time. The entrance door open so I turn around to face who enter.

"You told me that the contract was signed! No no no. Get it done or you're fired" Well that's my dad always busy on work and it seems like he forgot about my flight after all.

Behind my dad who also enter was his wife Margaret and my stepsister Jessica.

"Hi dad!" I great him. My dad look at me and he was surprise.

"Melody. Sweetie. What are you doing here?" He ask me as he hug and kisses my cheek.

"Well my flight was today and you didn't pick me up." I replied and scratch the back of my head.

"That was today?! I thought it was next week." My dad's eyes shows that he feel bad that he forgot about me.

"It's fine dad. I understand that you are busy." I said and kiss his cheek. "Thank you sweetie." Dad said and he took another call, but just before he left he turn around and look at me. "Oh and sweetie. Jessica will show you to your room." He said and went to his office.

Margaret hug and kiss my cheek. "It's good to have you here darling. Please make yourself at home."  She said and went upstairs. She's always like that... Margaret acts like she cares but she always care more about shopping. That same goes to her daughter Jessica.

"Hi Melody. Btw nice outfit." Jessica said and help me carry my bags. "Thanks" I replied. "Your outfit almost the same as our gardener's uniform."  She giggle and I rolled my eyes. "Well your outfit is better than mine." I replied and she was really proud of her outfit. "It is better because it cause a lot of money."  She smirk at me. "Wow a rag cost a lot of money these days." I chuckle and Jessica got pissed off and stump her feet on the floor. She really hate it if someone insult her clothes Teehee~

This is going to be a long summer vacation for me. Getting a summer job, searching for Dylan, and last spending my time with dad and his family. I just hope I could find Dylan soon.
