HER LAP OF LUXURY

CHAPTER 9

"Make it simple but significant."

EVELYN'S POV-

The alarm next to me rang and made me groan. Opening my eyes that are crashed by the bright sunshine, I looked at the clock. It's still four thirty am and I can sleep some more time. But I decided to stay awake and boost up my body. I don't need much time to get ready. I wear light and simple clothes. Not that badass girl with lots of makeup on her face.

I called Diana to give me a cup of coffee to feel good. Sipping the cup of coffee, I thought about how to spend my day. I am feeling good that my boring days will be away for some days. I know how Ryana and Gigi will accompany me. Meeting them after years is exciting me as hell.

"You're already awake." My mom, Melanie, greeted me good morning as I step down the stairs and went to the hall.

"Yes, mom. Good morning." I wished her with a glee.

"Get fresh up and ready."

"Okay, mom." Answering these words, I walked to my room and then the bathroom to take a good shower.

I had enough time so I took a long shower. Not missing to do concerts on my shower. Singing songs. Basically any lyrics that came to my mind.

'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love

Not knowing what it was

I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow,

your heart is all I own

And in your eyes, you're holding mine

Baby, I'm dancing in the dark with you between my arms

Ahh, this song is love. My heart melts everytime I listen to it. But not to forget the fact that I also feel like relating to it when Ed Sheeran sang 'We were just kids when we fell in love.'

Made some moves and felt full stretchable. Also, talked to myself. Finally, I came out half wet from the shower after thirty five minutes.

Placing an energetic smile on my face, I opened my wardrobe where there are all casual clothes of mine apart from the fancy dresses. On it's side, another wardrobe is there with loads of fancy clothes and many of them are chosen by my mom. She always helps me in everything. From the basics to the highs, she will guide me like a best friend.

I picked up a green colored high neck top with sleeves that resembles leg of mutton. After some seconds of matching different denims with the top to wear in the bottom, I picked up a denim that is flared starting from the knees to ankle which can rolled up easier, looks so classy yet hot. Then applied liner above my eyes that gave a perfect shape to it. Took out various shades of lipstick but the pink one is my forever favorite.

One last time I looked myself in the mirror, smiling and making faces, I am geared up to head to North Carolina.

I move forward to the hall. My eyes landed on mom and dad who were waiting for me to have breakfast with them.

"Seems like you're ready. The helicopter will fly you there in some minutes. Your Aunt and her daughters will be very happy." Dad claims to me with a sigh.

"I know, Dad." I concluded with an approving beam, I saw a boy coming and reporting that we are organized to fly.

I had my breakfast with breads that have nutella over them. It's what I choose everyday as my breakfast. I have a very low appetite too. Finishing my morning meal, I went out of my house waving goodbye to mom and dad. I can my mom's eyes already getting teary as I walked out. She is my best friend. I love her the most. She literally understands me in every possible way. She helps me in everything I am tensed of. Despite being the wife of a rich man, she has always kept a positive attitude towards everyone. She never wishes bad for anyone. I love how innocent and simple she is. My goal is to be like her.

My eyes landed on our private helicopter waiting for me on its assigned area. The man instructed me to get in. We started our journey to North Carolina. I could see the beautiful view of San Francisco that made my eyes fall in love more with this place. This place is my birthplace. I can never leave it.

~~~~~~~~~~

It's been four hours since I have landed in North Carolina. I met my Aunt and her daughters, Ryana and Gigi, almost after 3 years. Me and my family visit here very rarely. My dad is always busy with his business all over the world. But he never looked here. May be he doesn't like this place.

My aunt got married here in North Carolina from San Francisco. Her husband, my uncle, was indeed a kind hearted man. He was always cheerful with kids and I have spent time with him a lot in my childhood. Whenever we got together, Ryana, Gigi and me played with happy faces. And uncle would always come and teach us new games and make our laughs more louder and brighter.

Remembering those good times bring so much happiness in my heart. But also hurt because they aren't the same anymore. They won't be because uncle has left us. He left the world out of a sudden. Without him, my aunt's family will never feel complete. He was a very loving and caring husband to her. A great father to Ryana and Gigi. They are a middle classed family. Uncle didn't have a very high quality job. But with whatever they had, there were together a happy and blessed family. It isn't that now.

It was a fine day when uncle was heading home after his work and a car collided with him. That accident took his life, but he took aunt's and his daughters' happiness with him. My parents got along with him very well. So, a part of them miss him too.

Dad helps aunt financially. She too has a job that gives her everyday expenses. Ryana and Gigi are twinny girls. I feel a great sisters bond with them. They are 14 years old only but grown up very beautiful and matured. They have a life further. Aunt is responsible for them. She is a significant mom and takes care of them. She tries hard to not let them feel the absence of their father. But deep down, they always will miss him in good as well as bad times.

"Sis, would you like to a nearby cafe with me. It's new here and I have heard there are great worth trying recipes." Gigi says entering my room and makes me snap out of my thoughts.

I instantly agreed to her. Going to a cafe is what I want right now. Clicking selfies with Gigi, who is also a great friend to me. And then, trying delicious foods. Moreover she said it's a new cafe, my excitement jumped.

Gigi and I informed aunt about going to the cafe. We invited Ryana too but she couldn't accept it. She has many pending works to do. Out of Ryana and Gigi, Ryana is the responsible one. While, Gigi is a chill kind of girl. Both are awesome in their own ways.

After waving them bye, we headed to the "Beans 'n Cream Cafe."

Hello! So, do you guys too love this song? It's my favourite.
