I park my car and grab the shopping bag from the back seat. I climb the steps and ring the doorbell. Stefan opens the door after almost 10 minutes of waiting. I walk to the kitchen and place the bag on the kitchen counter.
"Where is mom?" I ask him.
"She got an urgent call from her office, so she went" he says.
I drink a class of water and walk to the living room. It is quite large and it nearly covers the ground floor. Apart from the living room and the kitchen, there is my parents' bedroom and a medium sized room which is a mini library where I spend most of my time reading books. Stefan's room is right across mine in the above floor.
I sit on the couch and turn on the TV. Like Amber's our TV is also hung on the wall. Our house looks the same from outside because her dad and mine are best friends. We're not just best friends but family friends as well. I check the time, it is already 7 so I get up from the couch and head to the kitchen.
"What would you like to have for dinner?" I ask Stefan.
"Lasagna" he says and smiles.
"Okay, I'll call mom and ask her at what time she'll be here" I tell him and grab my phone from the table.
I enter the kitchen and dial mom's number. She picks it up in the third ring.
"At what time you'll be here?" I ask her.
"I'll be there in an hour" she says.
"Okay, Stefan said that he wants to have lasagna for dinner so I'll be preparing dinner tonight" I say.
"Okay, sweetie" she says and hangs up.
I prepare the ingredients and place the lasagna pan in the oven and go and sit on the couch. The door bell rings and I go to open the door. Mom looks really exhausted.
"Is the dinner ready?" she asks walking inside.
"It'll be ready in 10 minutes" I tell her and lock the door.
"Okay, I'll freshen up and be right back" she says and walks to her room.
As I enter the kitchen, the lasagna is ready. I set the table as mom enters the kitchen.
"How was your day?" she asks sitting on the chair.
"Oh! it was brilliant, I had a great time" I tell her and sit down.
"How was yours?" I ask her.
"Oh! don't ask me, CEO's job is quite hectic" she says laughing.
"It smells wonderful" Stefan says as he enters the kitchen.
We finish the entire lasagna. I clean the kitchen counter while Stefan loads the dishwasher.
"Did you invite Amber and Claire for lunch next week?" she asks.
"Yes, they said that they'll be here by 11" I say.
"Okay sweetie, goodnight" she says getting up walking out.
"Goodnight mom" I tell her and climb the stairs.

As I enter the class, Adele is already seated. As I approach her she smiles and stands up so that I can get in and seat.
"How was your weekend?" she asks me.
"Oh! it was wonderful. How was yours?" I ask her.
"It was good" she says.
The teacher enters the class and French literature class goes smoothly.
