As I pulled up to The Pembrooke I began to get nervous. I said a silent prayer before getting out. I walked inside and was stopped at the front desk "hello how may I help you?" An older man dressed in a bellman's outfit asked.
"Um yeah I'm here to see Hermione Lodge." I respond. "Can I have your name please?" I was getting kinda annoyed what was this 21 questions? "Jade Jones" he looks down at a computer. "Yes Ms. Jones, Mrs. Lodge is expecting you."
"No shit Sherlock" I whisper under my breath. He walks to the elevator and sticks a key in the penthouse slot and presses a button. I get into the elevator alone 20 seconds later the elevator comes to a stop and the doors open. I step out and knock on the door. As the sound of high heels gets closer to the door my heart begins to race.
The door opens and standing before me is my mom. Still weird to say but might as well get used to it. She looked so different whenever she was at Pop's her hair was always up in a ponytail. But now her hair was down and curled she had beautiful long black hair just like me.
A pair of high-rise jeans and a silky long sleeved blouse and the outfit completed with a pair of Louboutin heels. Makeup done, she was breath taking she was beautiful naturally but the makeup enhanced her beauty even more.
She smiled big, I never noticed her dimples before. She hugged me "come on in" I walked inside and was kinda floored by the apartment they lived in. Decorated beautifully.
"This is a beautiful place you got." She smiled "thank you." She led me into a dining room, something I've only seen in movies with a long beautiful dining room table and chairs and a beautiful chandelier above it.
"I don't know if you like bourbon but I brought some I've been working on for my new bar." She smiled "bourbon is actually my favorite thank you. Ronnie will be home in a few minutes."
Veronica walked in a few minutes later. I've hung out with her before and it was never this awkward. "Hey Jade" she said breaking the awkward silence "Hey Veronica" I replied.
"I hope you like Italian food. That's what we're having tonight." Hermione says walking into the kitchen.
She comes out with mine and Veronica's plates "chicken alfredo everything was made from scratch and Caesar salad."
I smile "this is actually my favorite" Veronica smiles "mine too." Hermione comes back in and sits down she's at the head of the table and Veronica and I are sitting across from one another.
We all begin eating it was kinda awkward at first before Hermione spoke. "So as I told you, I told Veronica everything." I nod and look at Veronica "and can I ask you how you feel about everything? And don't worry say what you truly feel I honestly can't get hurt even more than I already am. I can take it."
