Egypt was nervous and excited. She was told Lotus had landed in New York and was being chauffeured home. She was dressed in her best, her mother and grandmother Ember with a feast laid out on the kitchen table. This time they didn't have the chef cook, the two women did. But the chef would serve the food still.

At the last minute Egypt decided to scrap the poster idea. She still had it, she just didn't want to put it up for him to see. She felt she should verbally say it first, so that way he wouldn't tell it was coming with the poster. She would just bring it out after she said it to him.

"E, baby relax." Lisa said, rubbing her back. She looked like she was gonna be sick, she was so nervous.

She looked at her mom with a big pout. "I'm nervous."

"You have nothing to be nervous about. You'll do great, just be natural about it. It doesn't have to be a big production. Just say it when you feel like you should." 

Egypt nodded her head. Ember and Dalton were also joining them for dinner tonight. Which was even better for Egypt. The more people around the less awkward it was for her. 

Ember and Lisa were keeping up with Lotus's arrival so they would know when he was close. 

An hour later the headlights of a Bentley was pulling onto the property. No one in the house could see this from the kitchen, but when they heard the locks all eyes were on Egypt. She got so scared she freaked out and took off toward the stairs. 

"I'm coming back!" She said, running off.

Ember chuckled, her guts were probably bubbling. Lotus and his chauffeur walked through the door with his things. He thanked the man before dismissing him. Everyone went to greet him by the door.

Lotus smiled, looking at the table. He was starving so it was perfect timing. He was back and forth to Dallas so much, his trips became normal and he wasn't really welcomed back in this fashion. So this time it felt good.

He was planning on showering first, but he could do that after. Everyone had been waiting on him long enough. Leaving his luggage at the door, Lotus took his shoes off and went to the nearest bathroom to wash his hands.

He made small talk with everyone as the chef came over to put the finishing touches on the table. Lisa and Ember kept discreetly peeking at the staircase, waiting for Egypt. 

"Enjoy." The chef bowed, walking off to let the family enjoy.

Lisa didn't bother to yell for Egypt. It was a huge house and she probably wouldn't be able to hear her. Thankfully, seconds after Egypt started making her way down the stairs.

Lotus noticed how overdressed she was compared to everyone else at the table. He noticed she carried a large rolled up poster in her hand. Egypt averted her eyes from him and went to sit next to Lisa. There was no hi, smile or hug. She was being standoffish. He figured she was in one of those random mood eleven year old girls got in so he didn't pay her any mind.
