Love, Lies, and Loyalty: A Teens' Love Triangle

Chapter Twenty Four

Me: As a matter of fact, yes. I a going for a dinner tonight. Goodnight

Andrew: never doubted that
He's mocking me!
Andrew: have a lovely dinner, it must be very important

Me: yes, it is very important

Andrew: ohhhhkayyyy

Just a few minutes of chatting with him and he's already drained my energy. What the hell even is he? He just makes me soooo unsettled I wish I could just...

"Lia, let's get going" mom was wearing a black long dress that stopped by her calf and it looked gorgeous on her

"Mom! You look stunning" I said as followed her out, close the door and entered the car

"Thank you" she smiled

As we drove, Mason messaged me. He told me about him being away for a few weeks, seems his mother is finally recovered completely and has a show in Russia that he has to attend. I'd miss him but I cannot be selfish

Me: That's great, you'll have so much fun

Mason: not as much fun as you

Me: huh?
'What kinda fun could I possibly ever have?' I thought to myself

Mason: Nothing, what are you up to?

Me: I'm in the car with my mom. We're having dinner at her friends place

Mason: just her friend? You don't know anyone at the dinner?

Me: Nope

Mason: That's such a bummer, you must feel bored already

Me: I suppose so

Mason: Anyway, gotta go. Bye.

Me: byee 👋

He was already offline and my message didn't even have two checkmarks. He must be in a hurry. For the rest of the drive I chatted with my mom about random things we thought of be it a poster or a cheeky squirrel on the trees.

We finally arrived in the house and I was impressed, the house was a classic modern house with so many glass materials on the exterior. The lights were on and they luminated the house countering the effect of the black and greyish paint. Several cars lined up including a gorgeous black Mercedes Benz that stood like a beautiful black stallion. the security man opened the door for and directed us to an empty spot to park the car in.

The air itself screamed new money, almost like this is the beginning of a chain of generational wealth. It was a huge contrast to another luxurious house I've stepped foot in. Mason's mansion, that house screamed old money and very much classic which has huge contrast to this. Yet they both has one very similar feeling, wealth and riches be it old or new.

Mother and I walked out of the car and there was a beautifully tall woman with aquamarine eyes and bright red lipstick standing by the glass doors, behind her was a man in uniform which seemed to be a staff. Mother and I approached her and the woman leapt onto my mom for a hug and started chattering away, the woman seems to be very friendly

"Aren't you just wonderful!" The woman smiled at my mom and urged her to walk faster "oh my, this is your daughter?" She paused and walked to me who was a few paces behind

"Good evening ma'am" I gave her my best smile

"You're even more beautiful than I imagined, you're adorable " she hugged me "ma'am? No. Call me Camilla. Okay Amelia?"

She knows my name already. Great. "Alright, ma'... Camilla"

"Now, now, chop chop" she urged me too "let's go in already loves" she lead the way "Amelia, I'll just call you Lia. Sounds like it's a great nickname for you"

"Alright ma... Camilla, people close to me usually call me that"

"Well we're going to be even closer, you seem like such a sweetheart love" she took longer strides "you may even make a new friend"

A new friend? Just what I needed, I t really dreaded the idea of sitting at the table watching the two adults chatter while I stood like a clueless child even dropping. Well, with the vibe of Camilla it seems she'd find a way to make the mood less heavy on me. But still, it not the best of ideas

We sat in the living room for a few minutes and had some fruits before the dinning table was completely set. For the meantime, Camilla kept of chattering and talking about how she acquired the Chinese teacups we drank from and the funny incidence of the first set breaking into pieces because some random dog chased her bodyguard. I did laugh occasionally at things I found extremely funny if not a simple smile was all I gave

"Dinner is ready Ladies" a man also in uniform informed and disappeared behind what seemed to be the kitchen doors after being dismissed

"Goody! Let's go" she directed us to the table and showed us to the chairs we are to sit on. She kept a chair beside her for my mom and left the chair opposite me empty. Probably for my new friend, can't wait to meet her! "I'll go get you're new friend to join us"

I nodded and way and watched her figure disappear up the glass stairs. I took a moment to look at around the dining room, it was nothing short of luxurious like the entire house itself

"She seems to like you" mother commented "I could have sworn I never mentioned your name. Or maybe I did? Not sure"

"Exactly, I was surprised too and.." I stopped mid sentence when I heard Camilla's footsteps coming down the stairs with another footstep echoing in the background

"Amelia's, meet my son. Andrew" she smiled
