It always will be - (Everything About You Sequel)

Chapter Four

“Mummy! Can I get it? Please, please, pleeeeeease?!” Mia whined while we were in the isle of the grocery store. She was begging for princess ice cream.

“Mia, stop whining, yes you can get it.” I said grabbing it from the freezer.

“Oh my gosh! Briana!” I heard a familiar voice singing my name. Great. I am not in a people mood, who could this be? I looked up…

“Oh, erm hi Katrina.” I said trying to sound as nice and casual as possible.

“Hey doll! How are you?” Katrina asked. She was so hyped up, and ‘glowing’ as some would say.

“I’m good, Just really busy. I have been getting Mia ready for school, and I actually got a call last night. My friend wants me to decorate her new home, and –“

“Wow! That’s great! So I was wondering, why can’t we do lunch? My schedule is very flexible! How about now, after we drop our groceries at home?”

What do I say now? I can’t keep avoiding her and lying. I really don’t want to do this, but I keep hearing Harry’s voice in the back of my mind saying ‘be nice.’

“Uhh, Yeah sure. I just need to finish shopping, go home, put the groceries away, change Mia, and then I’ll erm meet you. Where do you want to go?”

“How about we just grab a salad and a tea at Starbucks? You know something light?”

“Yeah, that sounds good. See you soon.” I said walking away.

“Mummy, are we going to lunch with Katina?”

“Yes baby, her name is Katrina, with an ‘R’, you Know Uncle Nialler’s wife.”

“Otay, where are we going?”

“We’re just going to grab something at Starbucks after we go home and get ready.”

“Yay! Can I get a drink?” she asked. She likes getting vanilla bean fraps.

“Uhh, yeah sure. Let me finish shopping. We’ll go soon.”

“Mia, go pick out an outfit for lunch!” I said as I put away our groceries in the kitchen.

Just as I was packing away extra milk in the freezer, my phone started buzzing.

“Hello?”

“Helllllllo Beautiful!” Harry deep voiced boomed in my phone as he sang a greeting.

“Hi baby.”

“Whatcha doooooooin’?”

“just putting groceries away, about to get ready for lunch.”

“Lunch? With whom m’lady?” Harry asked. He was in a good mood, and being very playful on the phone.

“Who do you think?”

“Oh tell Analicia I say HIIIII.” Harry said assuming I was going to lunch with my best friend.

“Nope. Not Analicia.”

“Who? Your client? DO you want to drop Mia off at the studio so you can work?” He asked.

“No, it’s okay, because I’m just going to lunch with Katrina.”

“Really? I’m so proud of you. Good girl.” He said playfully.

“Well don’t be too proud. She ambushed me at the super market. I couldn’t really say no.”

“Well I am still proud. Play nice.”

“Yes sir!” I said playfully.

“I luff you baby, see you soon.” Harry said.

“Love you too baby. Bye.” And before I hung up I could here Lou saying, ‘Harreh! Hurry up it’s your turn in the booth!’

I set my phone down and went to get Mia dressed and get ready myself.

This should be fun….
