The Unpredictable Mission

Chapter 6

Yet to be edited.

I guess today is the day all my nightmares throughout the past three months will come true.

My emotions quickly changed from being really excited and happy to spend the day with James and have a chill out day watching Netflix to being really terrified when I saw my parents standing at my doorstep here in Roma.

'You are dead' my inner voice reminded me. 

I didn't know what to do or what to say. For a solid minute I felt paralysed. I just stood there looking at them.

My dad stood there so confident with his hands in his pocket. He had this weird smile on his face that was definitely not a welcoming one, it was more like 'what can you do now, huh' kind a smile. He looked so fresh for a man his daughter ran away. I knew it won't affect him whatsoever.

He was wearing this really formal black suit. He had his white hair brushed back neatly. But nothing unexpected, my dad was all about his reputation. He dresses to the nines even if he is going to the local market.

And then there is my mother. I can tell from her face that the past couple of weeks wasn't her best. Her face had more wrinkles and she also had bags under her eyes. Even her hair was effortlessly put in a messy ponytail which is kind of weird because mom was always the lady with the perfect ponytail with no single baby hair sticking out.

She scanned me from head to toe analysing me then she smiled which I found so weird.

Everything was weird and questionable but the only thing that I was pretty sure of was that I am in a serious trouble.

" Are we going to stand here for so long?" Asked dad in a calm and really annoying tone breaking the awkward silence.

"No..no. Um... yo...you can ...come in" I stuttered as I pointed to the leaving room guiding them.

"Nervous, huh" my dad asked as he made his way to the living room without even waiting for a reply.

I just rolled my eyes and closed the door.

But just before I could lock the door, the bell rang again. I opened it without even looking through the door eye hole.

And there was surprise number two.

James and Daniel were standing there with similar formal suits. But that wasnt the problem. The problem was what were they doing here together? Do they know each other or is it just coincidence? I get it, James is here so we can hang out but what is Daniel doing in my house?

"Let my co-helpers in" my dad shouted all the way from the living room.

'He didn't just say Co-helpers?
I guess I'm about to get crazy as I'm definitely starting to hear weird stuff ' I said to myself.

I let them in and told them to follow me as I guided them to where mom and dad were.

I was too shocked that I couldn't comprehend what was going on. I was so confused and didn't know what to do other than listen to them and wait for any more surprises.

I just sat on the only empty chair which was next to moms and opposite Daniel.

He was rocking his world famous smirk and was sitting in his usual way. With one of his arms rested on the chair neck and one of his legs placed above the other.
