"Hi mummmm" I dragged out as I walked into the house and into the spacious kitchen where I found my mum frantically looking for something in one of the many shopping bags that were scattered over the counters and part of the tile flooring.

"Hi hunny" She replied smiling at me "Can you help me with these please? Your brother and sister aren't home yet and your dad is away on a business trip" She sighed at the unfortunate fact that my father spent more time on planes and in meetings than at home.

"Yeah okay sure" I agreed, trying to suck up before being rejected, something that was bound to happen. "Mum, did you get my text? Well I hope you did but can I ask you a question? Ok thanks, well Brad said that the tour has been moved forward and added more dates so can I go? I would be able to put it on my CV and then I could get an amazing job like you always said I could" I rambled on, barely taking a breath during my mini rant.

"I don't know Ella, I just don't know if it's a good idea" She sighed.

"But you always said I would go far in life, do you realize how much this could help?"I said as I walked over to the fridge and put several items away.

"How about if Brad comes for tea one night this week and we can see what he's like, then I can ask your father and see what he thinks about the situation? Thursday maybe" She says putting a few items into the large freezer and slamming the door firmly shut.

"That's in two days time though" I complain.

"Don't be to eager now El" She jokes patting me on the head and beginning to walk away and out of the room.

"But, I, I didn't mean, I didn't mean it like that" I groan, mostly to myself considering my mother had already left the kitchen.

'My mum wants to meet you, in order to let me tour with you xx' I text Brad moments later once I had retrieved into my room and started up Netflix on my flat screen tv.

'When?xxx' He replied not long after.

'Thursday good for you?xx' I suggest

'Can't wait;) xxx'  He text back less than a minute later.

"Hunny, Brad's here!" My mum shouted days later up my stairs, and she finally goes back down after I tell her that I won't be long and shall be down soon. 

"You take your time" I hear from behind me as I bend down putting my small make-up bag in the bottom draw of my bedside cabinet.

"I had a late shower" I laugh as I turn around, facing Brad. "You nervousss?" I ask joking, lightly nudging his sholder

"A little" He mumbles as he looks down at the floor, attempting to hide his red, embarassed face.

"It will be fine, don't worry" I say as we begin to walk down the narrow stairs.

"So Brad, how long are you going on tour for?" My mum questions once we are both down the two flights of stairs and in the dining room.

"A few months" He states as we all take our seats, the meal already infront of us, a few minutes into the meal, I zone out, knowing that all my mother will do during the duration of the dinner would be to ask questions to Brad about his personal life, along with the tour dates.

By the time the meal has finshed, my mother has asked Brad an uncountable amount of questions and found out every detail about the tour.

"You can go" She says simply to me once Brad has left.

"What?" I ask, not belive her.

"You can go" She says turning around and walking away.
