Geneva~
I left so suddenly last night only because I needed to go to the little house party Linda invited me to. But I'm gonna have to put a pause on that because once I walked into my apartment and saw 3 of my family members who unexpectedly showed up out of the blue I inwardly sighed and thought of numerous curse words in my mind
They paused and turned to me before their faces filled with grins. "Gigi!" My older sister exclaimed and damn near ran over to me and embraced me in a tight hug which almost lifted me off my heels. "Yeah, get off of me." I cringed to how hard she was squeezing me and she released
"Why didn't you tell us you moved to Cali?! What's your problem?" She asked. I absentmindedly ignored her words once I saw my older brother putting his hands on my champagne from the kitchen and I walked over to him, snatching it out of his hands. "Don't touch that." I scolded him
"Why don't you live with mama and daddy no more huh?" My sister, Denise, says as she crossed her legs making herself comfortable on my white couch that I just ordered last week
I rolled my eyes once more and began to take off my heels to let my feet breathe. I don't know how Linda wears her heels all day but I can't do it. "Is that even a question? Mama gets on my nerves and daddy wanted me to be a doctor. Look where I am now." I scoffed
"You could only imagine he's disappointed in me." I laughed but not because it was funny. Denise stood to her feet and shook her head at me. "That's why I left early too. I didn't wanna be a doctor so." She tsks. "Medical school seems like too much work, ain't that right?" She asks my brother, Jacob who rummaged through my fridge
"Exactly." He vaguely replied
I got so deep into the conversation that I didn't even ask how in the hell they got here and why they're here. "Why are you guys here?" I asked
"We found out from a lil birdie that you got a new job around here! Why didn't you tell us?!" Denise almost squealed and she composed herself. "Like when I found out you were gonna work in the Jackson Towers? That's like the most popular Corp. in LA right now lil sis."
Who's the "lil birdie" that told them I was here because I'll beat their ass
I grinned in pride as I slipped off my blazer and placed it on the hook my the door. "Well it's only because I lied on my application. It said I took 4 years but really I took two." I shrugged
Mr. Jackson requires people with a master's and I only had a bachelor's. What else was I supposed to do? Tell the truth?
