*July 1982*
I had just arrived at the Dallas airport, getting situated in the backseat as my driver put my luggage in the trunk.
"It's nice to have you home, Miss. Blackwood." Benny spoke as he got into the drivers seat, looking through the rear view mirror
I smiled at Benny,
"It's nice to be home." I told him and he nodded as he started driving.
About forty five minutes later we arrived in front of the gates of my parents home, I sighed in contentment.
As much as I hate it here, I truly did miss being home. Benny drove us up the drive way and my mom, Clarissa was already standing on the doorstep, and I got out of the car, walking to her and closing the distance between us.
"Oh Vanity, sugar...I've missed you so much." Mom said while pulling me into a tight hug and I wrapped my arms around her,
"I've missed you too, where is daddy?" I asked her and she pulled away from me,
"Daddy is out doing business right now, but your brother and sister are home." She told me and I nodded,
"Benny bring in the bags when you have a chance." Mom ordered him, he quickly did what she had asked.
I walked into the Foyer, Mom had done some re-decorating while I was gone. The floors were now a shiny white marble, and the railing of the stairs were now a cast iron black, instead of the mahogany they were last year.
"Greyson! Sage! Your sister is home." Mom yelled,
I heard doors slam and then the patter of their feet against the waxed floor. I smiled when both of my siblings flew down the stairs to greet me.
"Vanny!!" My younger sister shouted and pretty much tackled me to the floor,
"I missed you so much! Please take me with you!" Sage, my thirteen year old sister was overly ecstatic, "Maybe when you're older!" I responded and she helped me off the floor.
"Hey, Grey." I said and gave my brother a hug. Greyson is my nineteen year old brother.
"God you've gotten huge! Is this all from football?" I asked, punching his huge shoulders , he's a linebacker for the University of Texas ,
"My little brother is a Total beefcake!" I said while laughing,
"Don't test me, Hollywood ! I'll still whoop your ass." He said while grabbing my head and putting me in a head lock as I started punching his back.
"Enough children, Van are you hungry?
I had Loretta prepare lunch." Mom asked and I playfully shoved my brother away.
"Yeah, I could eat." I responded,
"Loretta! Please bring everything to the back patio." Mom told her and she nodded,
"It's great to see you, Vanity." Loretta said and I smiled at her.
Soon enough we were sitting at the patio table. I looked on as the pool guy was cleaning out leaves and sweeping the tile around the pool.
"Thank you." I said as Loretta put a plate of food in front of me,
"So how is Los Angeles, sweetheart?" Mom asked me while taking a sip of her Cabernet wine,
"Its a lot of fun, hectic..but I enjoy it a lot." I explained to her, "Still at the diner?" She interrogated me,
"Yes mom, and I'm still paying bills, and the townhome is still standing." I told her and she smiled,
"Good, and your roommates?"
"Yes mom, still the same girls." I told her while getting annoyed and picking at the food on the table.
"Have you met anyone famous, Vanny?" Maggie asked me and I looked at her,
"Um...yeah...uh Mötley Crüe if you listen to them." I told her and my brother gasped and clenched his chest.
