TORN BETWEEN TWO WORLDS

Chapter 3:Cheers to new beginnings

I didn't realize I had fallen asleep until the sun rays penetrated through my curtains. I got up from bed, and went to take a nice warm shower. I wore a purple balloon dress that partly covered my thighs, black heels, and combed my hair to one side. I picked up my bag and phone and placed a jacket neatly on my bed as I applied a layer of lipstick. Meg came in all dress up and ready for us to go look at some apartments.

"Good morning sleepy head, I can't believe you just left your guests downstairs, what happened?" Meg says as she places her bag and jacket next to mine.

"I was just tired, it was a long day, and night." I lie unsure of whether she would buy it. To my surprise she actually does!

Meg chuckles, "I understand. So your dad told me to come get you...he needs you downstairs...like right now."

We both pick our bags and walk slowly down the stairs as Meg bluntly makes fun of my statement earlier. She surprises me by tying her bandana on my eyes, covering them to the point I couldn't see anything at all. She leads me to the front door and opens my eyes.

"OMG!!" The word escapes from my mouth as I take in what is in front of me. It was a black lux car, the latest one I would assume.

"Hey doll, the Brown's delivered this today and apologized for not coming yesterday." My dad says as he wraps his arms around me. The car really caught me by surprise. I didn't expect anything like that till I was like twenty-one or something, but this... this is the best thing I have received. Not saying that the rest of the gifts weren't good, they were, but this left me speechless. I was really happy, and my heart made somersaults in the air. "We figured you might want to go say thank you so Talia made some brownies, and Meg could escort you as you get some groceries for Mrs. Brown."

"I love you Dad!" I say embracing my father who seemed to share the same excitement as I was. "Nanny, you are the best, thanks for the brownies." I say as I kiss her on her cheek.

"You are welcome dear, now go! Before traffic hits you and you won't be able to make it in time to view the apartment. We embrace as she hands me the keys to the brand new car. I still can't believe I got a lux for my birthday. Well I got a Mac Book, an I Phone, and an I Pad, all those that I really appreciate, but this was an amazing surprise.

"See you both in the evening...I will take those..." I say as I pick the tray of brownies form my nanny. The seats inside looked lovely, still brand new. It looked more like a guy's car, considering they had two boys, but so cool to turn it down. Everything was modernized. All the way from the tinted windows, to the booming speakers, to the small television, and the sound of the engine... just perfect. Meg got to the passenger's sit and took a selfie of the both of us for her Instagram account.

The drive to the Brown's doesn't take that long. Se stop by the groceries store to get a few household necessities for them. When we arrive, the gigantic gate automatically opens revealing an enormous mansion, with a unique design from all the houses I have ever seen. I always loved Mrs. Brown's taste, from her dressing, to how she designed her home. We park the car next to theirs and Meg helps with the groceries as we alight the car. Justin opens the door before we even raise a finger to ring the bell.

"You again!?!?!" he exclaims, clearly not wanting me to be here. I don't get him sometimes, he was the one who made me upset yesterday night, and here he is acting like a complete lunatic.

"F.Y.I, I am not here to see you, is your Mom home?" I respond trying to show him I am not interested in wanting to know if he wants me there or not.

"No, she isn't, she just left." He responds. I don't get why he would lie to me when it is clear that she is home, considering the number of cars parked outside.
