Like we came, grandfather let us take his jet back home.We land at exactly nine o'clock in the evening and in thirty minutes we arrive at the Ibn Khoury mansion. We leave our luggage in the foyer where Tori comes up to us and hugs all three of us tightly, then enter the hall.
"How was your trip?" She squeals
"Okay" I say flatly
"Oh don't mind him he's just a little bumped about leaving his girl behind "he says snaking an arm around my shoulders, making me roll my eyes.
"You got a girl?" Tori beams and I roll my eyes again
"One day your eyes will just fall out" March snides. I didn't even notice her standing with Rian. How did she even know we were arriving today? I didn't tell her.
"You gonna answer me?" Tori eyes are filled with so much expectation and hope
"Don't listen to Rash" I dismiss disappointing her.
"Yourri, what about you?" Tori turns to face her
"Yeah, Paris is very pretty and it smells so heavenly especially in the morning, the food is also so good I could never get tired of eating" she laughs
"Ah c'est bon" Tori says, "You make me feel like moving back, anyways I have a surprise for you since you decided on following these two boys to France-"
"Wait so she gets a surprise for following us? And what do we get for allowing her to follow us?" Rashid cuts in and I snicker at his protest.
"Would you sit on the couch, Rashid" Tori demands before continuing, "Are you ready for your surprise? " She beams facing Yourri.
I sit on a nearby couch and switch on my phone. It's been off since we left La Maison de Maître. I'll have to call my grandfather to inform him we've arrived safely. Later
"I'm ready" Yourri says excitedly and I roll my eyes again that evening despite March's snide comment earlier.
"Okay, surprise" Tori yells
Suddenly a woman dressed causally in jeans and a grey loose sweater hunging off her arms shows up and approaches Yourri from behind so she doesn't see her until she taps her shoulder and she turns with wide eyes.
"Mama!" She exclaims and hugs her tightly.
"Yes honey"
I notice as they hug the striking resemblance between the two. Brown hair, hazel eyes, small lips... Ha! Who cares about the rest?
"Oh thank goodness you're back " Yourri sighs
"Yes sweetheart, I'm so happy so see you " she says pulling out of their embrace and kisses her on the forehead.
"Me too, I missed you"
"You have no I idea how I missed you too" they hug again briefly
"Xana" Tori calls, "come over here" I stand up and place my phone in my pocket and move towards them.
"Okay, Cece-Marie meet Xana, Xana, Cece-Marie, my very good friend" she introduces and we shake hands briefly.
"Nice to meet you" I nod curtly.
"My pleasure " she smiles, "Now, you have really soft palms for a boy" That's interesting.
"Uhmm! Thanks" I smile, not sure of how to behave.
"Xana, is the son of Xavier Malone Reneau" Tori adds and I stiffen at the mention of my dad's full name . Did she know him?
"Oh okay" she smiles, "come to think of it they really look alike" she examines my face more and I can't help it but a scoff leaves my mouth "the curly brown hair, dimpled left cheek-"
