Chapter- 7

Sarah's P.O.V

Today is the day I will catch my flight to L.A and attend Jason Flores' wedding on behalf of my father. I didn't want to feel awkward, so I am taking my best friend Anna with me. It will be a great break from work for both of us and a great escape way from our everyday boring life.

As I had to catch my flight at 9 a.m , so I woke up early today. Then I had my breakfast, got ready and went to pick up Anna on my way to the airport. After picking up Anna we had a lot of fun throughout the ride to the airport. We switched on the radio where both our favourite song "You belong with me" by Taylor Swift was playing and we started singing along the singer and swaying our body to the song. It had always been our favourite since highschool days where I had a crush ona guy but he was in a relationship with the cheerleader of the football team but ended up being my boyfriend by the end of the year, though the slutty cheerleader tried to keep me away from him by trying to bully me and threatening me but unfortunately both me and Anna can be seriously mean bitches when we needed to be. So we taught her a good lesson and sang this song whenver we passed by her as it was equivalent to rubbing salt on her wounds. And no matter how mean we sound, it was well deserved for bullying and torturing all the vulnerable classmates and juniors who wouldnot follow her orders.

Finally we reached the airport and took the VIP entryway and boarded my father's private jet. Our luggages were brought up by the flight attendants and the air hostess startrd serving us refreshments and we dig in our food like hungry beasts. After fifteen minutes, the captain started announcing the guidelines and other things and told us to wear our safety belts. And finally we set off on our journey to L.A.

After our 5 hours flight, we arrived in L.A. The weather here was quite sunny as it was mid-June. I noticed that there was already a SUV waiting for us to take us to our destination.

"Hello mam, I hope you had a comfortable flight."

"Hello and yes the flight was nice."

The driver opened the door for me and Anna to enter and as soon as we entered the driver started the car.

The drive to the penthouse was really quiet as Anna was sleeping the whole way. As soon as we reached the hotel the receptionist instructed the bellboy to escort us to our respective floor. Our bags were already in our rooms and our clothes are being arranged by the housekeeper. The day went by quite uneventful with us settling to our new environment, resting and trying to get rid of our jetlag and so on.

......................................................................

The next day I woke up quite early due to continuous banging on my door. Knowing quite well that Anna was not going to wake up, I reluctantly got up and went to answer the door.

As soon as I opened the door, I was taken by surprise by a sudden bonecrushing hug from a middle-aged woman. After a while the woman finally decided to release me from her bonecrushing hug. She seemed like a quite sophisticated and elegant lady with her royal blue dress, high heels, thin diamond necklace, earrings and an elegant Gucci watch.

But I had no idea about who she was so I politely asked her about her identity.

"May I know how can I help you mam?"

"Oh sorry dear! How rude of me, I forgot to introduce myself. Well I am Samantha your mom's best friend."

"Oh! Hi Mrs. Flores. Sorry for my ignorance, I was not able to recognize you as I met you a long time ago."

"Oh no dear. Don't apologize. You saw when you we're only 5 years old, so how could I possibly expect you to remember me. And please cut the formalities and call me Samantha or aunty whichever you prefer and feel comfortable with."

"Alright Samantha. And please come in."

"So how are you my dear and how is your father. It has been a long time since I have seen Edward."

"Dad is fine and healthy and as you can see I am fine as well."

"How are you doing?"

"I am doing fine and I am doing more good now as you know my son is finally getting married. I can't express how happy I am about his wedding."

"Yeah! You must be very excited after all he is your only son."

"Yeah dear! You can't even imagine."

"Samantha would you like some tea or coffee or maybe some juice?"

"Oh no dear! I already have had my breakfast. Please don't bother."

"Anyways dear, sorry to disturb your sleep early in the morning. I was just really excited to meet you and I wanted to know whether you have settled properly or not. I was just a bit worried you know. After all you are our responsibility as long as you stay in Chicago."

"Oh please don't worry yourself about me Samantha. I can take care of myself just fine and I am not alone. I also brought my best friend with me so please don't bother."

"So, darling I will get going and if you need anything just give me a call. Please don't hesitate Sarah. You are just like our own daughter. And moreover you are our goddaughter so you have every right to annoy us. So please don't hesitate. Alright darling?"

"Alright Samantha. If I need anything I will call you so don't worry and have a safe journey."

......................................................................

After Samantha went away I decided to make some breakfast for me and Anna as it was already 8:30 am and I will not get any sleep again. So I made some waffles, eggs and bacon for both of us and then I went to take a shower.

After taking my shower I brewed some coffee and then woke up Anna. Then we had our breakfast and decided to go to the hair salon for tomorrow's wedding.
