Chapter 7 [I Get To Meet Jennifer's Family!]

...Early in the morning about 6AM Jennifer wasn't in bed with me where could she be? I then heard the shower turn on in the bathroom, then she must be taking a shower! But… Why so early? It's 6:23 in the morning, and she is taking a shower? Well it doesn't really matter, so I went back to bed and read a book, Jennifer got out of the shower and stared at me for a while, "Oh, Good Morning Val..." Jennifer greeted me, so I greeted her back! "Good morning Jen!" Jennifer then wore her clothes and said she was going home now, really? So early... I don't want to let her leave yet! "Can I bring you home?" I asked, Jennifer nodded "Fine, go and change into something, I don't want you to go to my parents house looking like that..." Well of course I would never say "no" to Jennifer, I took a quick shower and changed into something more presentable, we got out of my apartment, and we are now walking in the garden going to the exit, the garden was pretty big, but It's easy to get to the exit, just follow the path. As we reached the exit we could see the tall buildings, cars passing by, people going to work, city life can be really fantastic, but it's sometimes a hassle. Jennifer and I were waiting for a vacant taxi… Wow, it's really busy today, buses are full and taxis are occupied, really? On a Sunday? Well that doesn't matter, minutes later Jennifer and I finally found a vacant taxi, the taxi then pulled over for us, so we rode it, I actually don't know where Jennifer lives, so I let her talk to the driver. "So where are you girls going?" the driver asked, "Hua Yueng Penthouses" Jennifer said, the driver was a bit surprised, but I didn't know why... Minutes later, and we finally reached Jennifer's house, as we got out of the taxi I now realized why the driver was so shocked and surprised, it was because it is a very expensive and luxurious penthouse, I bet it costs a billion yuan just for a single room! But no joke! It's like a 5 story Uniqlo! The gate is gold, the water fountain in the middle, the garden, Everything! Everything looked so cool! I couldn't believe my eyes! The guards surrounding the penthouse, residents sitting down in the garden reading books and having chit-chats, I wonder what it's like to be so rich... As we were walking to the gate a big tall man stopped us and showed us his hand, then Jennifer pulled out a card from her hand gave it to the tall man or let's just call me guardman, guardman then approved the identification card of Jennifer, "Is this your friend?" guardman asked Jennifer "My best friend actually, is it alright if I bring her in?" Jennifer asked guardman, gladly guardman approved! "Please bring her to the front desk so that she will have an identification card, I don't want trespassers or strangers coming in" guardman told Jennifer, Jennifer nodded and guided me to the front desk, as we were walking there it felt like I just entered another world, I could breathe the richness just by walking through the penthouse. We finally got in the penthouse and woah... It looked so big and bright inside! Clean floors, white walls, expensive furniture, amazing artworks, golden chandeliers and Everything! It looks like a hotel! As Jennifer was talking to the front desk to give me an identification card I felt kind of nervous because I think they'd judge me for being poor, but they were actually very happy and welcoming to anyone! As I was getting ready for my picture to be taken, a bunch of professional makeup artists came out of nowhere and started fixing my hair and putting makeup on my face! I was a bit confused about what was happening because normally when taking pictures you just have to sit there and take a picture, but for this one... I have to be really proper, minutes later the makeup artists finally backed up, and they looked very pleased and happy, as I looked in the mirror I was dumbfounded, I didn't even believe it was me! Jennifer then hugged me from behind "Oh what a princess~" Jennifer said in a very teasing tone which made me flustered, the front desk then called me to take my picture now, I sat down and stared at the camera... Bling! My photo was taken now, from how bright the light was I rubbed my eyes because I didn't expect it to be that bright! I thought I saw heaven! Hours later I finally got my identification card, I looked so different it's like I aged up to 29! We took the lift to the floor 5, The lift was gold, and had a mirror everywhere! Jennifer was amused by how dumbfounded I was, but really! This place is so luxurious! I didn't know Jennifer was so rich! We finally reached floor 5 and there was only one door, we just had to walk through the hallway, and we met a golden big door, Jennifer rings the doorbell waiting for a family member to open the door, the door finally opened, and I saw Jennifer's mom, she was tall, pretty, nice chocolate brown hair, lovely eyes, fair skin, pleasing smile, and great fashion! She looked so much like Jennifer! "Jennifer! Darling! Welcome back! Oh? You brought a friend? Come in you two!" Jennifer's mom said, we both got in the house and woah! It's just like a whole mansion inside! "Take a seat! Take a seat! Here are some snacks! Do you girls want water? Juice? Or Soft drinks? Coke? Fanta? Mountain Dew? Pepsi? Do you girls want some cake? Are you girls hungry?" Jennifer's mom asked, woah... I didn't know Jennifer's mom would be so welcoming and really thoughtful. "I would like Pepsi Auntie, and snacks are fine." I said "I'll take Coke, I also want cake." Jennifer said, Jennifer's mom nodded and called the servant "One Pepsi, One Coke and a slice of chocolate cake please!" Jennifer's mom demanded, the servant nodded and went to the kitchen, "I'm Nerissa, Mother of Jennifer! It's actually my first time seeing Jennifer bring or have a friend! So what's your name?" Nerissa asked "I'm Valerie, you can just call me Val" I responded, Nerissa looked pleased and happy, but I actually don't know why, the drinks and desert arrived and the servant placed it on the table, "Valerie! Oh! What a lovely name! It's nice to meet you Valerie!" Nerissa said while offering her hand for a handshake, I shook her hand, we became friends so quickly! She's not like my mom who is picky about whom I become friends with, Auntie Nerissa left us alone in the dining area so Jennifer and I could have some alone time, as we were talking, Jennifer's brother came into the dining area without saying hello, he looked rude and mean, but as he turned around and notice me he looked happy and has a mischievous reaction, "Heyyy~ Jennifer~" Jennifer's brother said, "What do you want?" Jennifer asked, "Is that your girlfriend?~" Jennifer's brother asked, Jennifer blushed and got furious, Jennifer hit her brother with a water bottle making her brother scream "Ouch! I was just joking you know! You don't have to be so mean..." Jennifer's brother said while leaving, I felt a bit bad for him, but I knew Jennifer would stop me if I went to comfort him, "How many brothers do you have?" I asked 6 Brothers and 3 sisters" 6 brothers and 3 sisters?! What a big family…. "The one you saw just now is Ike, he is a soft boy and is very mischievous, the one you saw before was Xavier, he is rude, mean, and very manipulative, Alex, Felix, and Xavier are the oldest, then Aster, Ike, and Gabriel are the youngest, Then for my sisters I'm the youngest, Kaye is the oldest, then Katherine, Zoey and lastly me" Jennifer said. What a big family, my mom would get mad if I just asked for a single cent, she even almost disowned me when I asked her for a brother... Well! It doesn't matter anymore! I will soon have my own family and I will totally be nice to my kids!... I do hope I will have a family in the future......
