Chapter 11.

Andrew's Pov.

My eyes widen as I realised that I'm finally home as the driver parked at the house.

"It's good be back home with you son" my mom says as she reaches out to ring the bell for the butler to open the door.

As they both enter the house.

The next morning.

I'm really tired, it's been days since I've slept through the night and I know there are still countless more to come.

Seeing as I've been dealing with my nightmare of the girl in the golden gown, exhausting me before my day starts.

Wanting a quick shower I simply strip down to my boxer shorts and headed to the shower.

Unfortunately, not remembering to check the temperature of the water I tilted my head towards the shower then shouted in pain "fuck, what the hell" jumping out and switching the temperature to cold water.

After my shower, I dressed up then went downstairs due to the hunger I felt. On my way down the stairs I got distracted by the smell of bacon coming from the kitchen.

When I walked into the kitchen and found my mom cooking which was strange, I just had to stare.

She was so focused looking back and forth from the bacon to the pancakes.

"I don't remember the last time you cooked mom, what's the special occasion" I ask, stepping into the kitchen.

She jumps slightly "hey, son I hope you are ready for breakfast".

I was just sitting down when I heard soft steps coming from the stairs in which my father comes in later.

"Did you two sleep well?" He asks his eyes moving from my mother's direction to mine then back to my mother's.

"Yes" my mother and I respond at the same time.

"Well since you men are hungry you can come sit" my mom motioned to the large wood dining table with five chairs surrounding it. "Or we can watch TV and eat in the living room?" She adds when neither of us responded, cause we were hungry and too lazy to move.

" We will eat in here, so as not to ruin the rug" my father glances at me, "we can definitely replace the carpet if it gets soiled " i responded and he frowns.

" Maybe we should just eat together on the dinning table as a family" my mom says softly and I feel my lips twitch at the word family.

"How about me and you have dinner in the TV room once in a week mom" I suggest and my mom smiles nodding in approval and I go back to facing my father saying "let's eat"

He nods, stepping forward to grab the chocolate syrup for his pancake, I stand grabbing it "it's closer to me" I say, "I'm gonna get it" I pass it my father.

I catch my mother's eyes and she smiles at me before mouthing a silent "thank you".

She quickly places two plates in front of us before moving to sit next to me with her own plate.

We all eat  savouring the silence,until my dad speaks "you do know once the doctor says it's fit for you to start working, you have to start".

"Sure, no problem" I set my fork down, "but I would prefer if I go to visit Brittany's today".

"Okay" is his only response before turning back to his meal.

After eating the maids came of to clear the dining table, so I quickly went upstairs to style my hair, pick a change of cloth while grabbing my shades and car key.

Then I headed of for the Sky's residence after telling my mom bye.

"Where we still friends at college" I question Brittany, as I roll a piece of chicken around my plate with my fork since I was offered chicken at their place.

"Yes definitely, people at college were always envious of our friendship, why?" she says, slowly looking with a questioning eyes.

"Do you have soda" I suddenly asks, and she nods.

"I'll go get it from the fridge if you'll like" she offers standing.

"Please" I say.

It only takes her a minute to grab the soda from the fridge and return to the parlour.

"Here" she sets it in front.

"What's this" I ask, pointing at the gold chain standing out in stark contrast to her red corset gown.

"It's the birthday gift you gave my sister" she says tracing the swirling shape with her finger "I wore it since I didn't want it to go to a waste and I knew she wouldn't have minded me wearing it".

" Each of them has there respective meanings , this represents friendship and that's one one the things we share" she points to one part of the necklace.

"Then this represents forever, what I pray we have" she points to another as she points to another "describing it as love".

"It is beautiful" i say.

"It is, you have good eyes when it comes to picking jewelries" she says pecking my cheeks making it the best day of my life.

"Drink" i say not standing so as to break the awkward pause that came along side the kiss, motioning to the soda as I pass it to her, she shakes her head in refusal moving her sit to the chair closer to mine.

"Should we watch a movie" I asked while streaming through their Netflix without waiting for a response.

"Oh by the way I'll be going to work soon" I say remembering one of my main reason for coming over.

"wow thats fast, have you spoken to your doctor about it" she asks as her eyebrows rise fractionally a bit.

"I'll be talking to Dr Martha tomorrow to see if I could book an appointment so as to know if it would be fine for me to resume back to work" I say

"Don't worry you will be fine and you will definitely do well as the CEO of Rave enterprise" she says reassuringly with a smile.

"I know" I nod as I change the topic cause I hate thinking about it and I actually try not to.
