The Unexpected

It's a Saturday night. Me and Veronica are joining along with my mom to go to her work party at this nice venue. We had to dress elegantly so I'm wearing a burgundy colored short dress and curled my hair. Veronica is kind of twinning with me but has her hair in a high slicked back ponytail and wore black flats instead of heels like me.

I'm holding her hand as we walked in. It felt weird because a lot of eyes went on me and my mom as we entered. Veronica didn't even mind the attention though. She started swinging arms with mine till we got to our table.

My mom started introducing me and Veronica to her coworkers and their families.

"Say hi baby" I tell Veronica referring to say hi to the little girl who I could tell would become friends with Veronica right away. "Hi I'm Veronica" she says and waves then backs up into me while I'm sitting, stepping on my toe. "Ow" I whispered to myself. She turns around and looks at me then climbs on my lap. "Oh now you're shy?" I ask her. "I'm hungry" she says. "Okay" I said and looked at my mom. "The buffet is right there so go ahead. I'll get food for myself in a bit. Just got to find some certain people first" my mom says. "Yay!" Veronica says and jumps out of my lap and pulls me off the chair.

We walked over to the buffet, got ourselves plates and utensils too then picked our food. Then suddenly a favorite song of mine and Veronica's started playing. She gasps and looks at me. I smile at her and started to dance with my full plate and she did too. It was a cute moment, plus we started singing along together too. I just love moments like these.

We get back to our table and I told my mom what just happened which made her happy because she knows we love that song too.

"Tell me why I found your eyelashes in my house??" Leah texts me and I immediately started to laugh. I forgot I took my lashes off at her house at our last date night. "Lol sorry! Keep them. Don't throw it. They're still new. I want them" I replied. "Alright I wont throw it"

"Thanksss. I miss youuu already"

"I miss you too" she responds.

"Can I come over tomorrow night? I'm free"

"But am I free? That's the big question"

"I assume you're not" I replied

"Why? Do you think I don't have a life? What if I am busy?"

"No matter what it is I know you'd cancel just to see mee ;)"

"Ok u got me there"

"😂😂"

I put my phone down and continued to eat.

"Mm yummy!" Veronica says. "Yeah? Can I try?" I ask her. "Sure" She says happily and pushes her plate lightly to me. "Mmm it is yummy!" I said. She smiles and takes her plates back and eats her own food.

She's always loved sharing things with people. Even if it's food or something she really wants for herself. She just likes being a nice person. I want her to grow up like that but I don't want people to take her for granted. She's very friendly with everyone which makes sense though. She always has perfect grades in class and always stays on the green color for being a good girl in class. She always tells me that her class can get noisy sometimes and her teacher always appreciates how calm and polite she is. It makes me so proud because I know how successful she'll be when she grows up.

"Can I see your phone now mommy?" She asks. "You don't want to get dessert?" I ask her since her plate was completely empty. "No I wanna play" "Okay well come with me to the restroom first then you can play when we come back" I said. "Okay hurry" she whines a little which I didn't mind.
