Part 8: coincidence

[ Ps: I didn't check for any errors so please don't mind it :) ]
Lauren
  Sometimes it's a coincidence to meet someone who is related to someone you know

      School ended slow to me . Teachers would say 'school is a place where you get to learn ' .NOPE NOPE well maybe but It's a place where you feel like your in prison for almost 8 hours x 365 days . Well I know it's not 365 days .. But my mind set makes me think that I don't have no weekends .

I ended up going shopping by myself in a mall near my house . I had a few shopping bags with me that were mostly clothes and a few pairs of shoes . As I was rummaging through my bag for my phone , someone called me

"Are you Lauren?" A woman who seems to be in her mid 40's asked me
"Um-yes I am "

"Thank goodness I finally saw you " she pulled me into a hug . It was hard for me to hug her properly due to the fact that I was carrying a lot of paper bags .
"I'm sorry but you are?"

"I'm jackie , Charles mom. Actually you met me before .. At the theatre ? I was the one who called you " she said

"Oh that was you!? I'm really sorry , we were in a rush due to the traffic in New York " I explain .

I scrutinise the way Charles mom looked .. Not judging her btw - it's just my first time seeing her . Now I know where Charles got his brown eyes from ...

"That's okay dear , at least I finally meet you " she smiled .
"Yea" I smiled back

"Are you in a hurry ?" She asked
"Nope not really "

"Care for some coffee ?"
"Well this is America , sure why not "

We head our way to Starbucks and ordered . After that , we were talking about Charles childhood and past stories . Why does Charles not want to talk about her when she seems to talk about Charles that much? . Her stories about Charles made me a tiny bit uncomfortable since Charles and I just broke up . Does she know?

"Auntie" I said politely
"Yes Lauren dear?"

"did Charles told you ?" She gave me a confuse look
"Told me what?"

"We broke up-" I looked down before looking at her
"Oh- Charles didn't inform me that" she said in a devastated tone like she didn't want me and him to break up

"Well I guess he didn't want you to worry ?" I tried to find an answer. Albeit, she wasn't asking for one. I finished half of my coffee .
"What happened ? Charles always talks about you whenever we're on the phone " I sighed

"Well I guess I have fallen out of love for him " I looked down
"What do you mean dear?"

I told her the reason why and she seems to be okay with it .

"Lauren dad wants us in his office" my sister said and I got up from my study table and walked with her to dad's office . I knocked on the door before entering .

"Dad?" I said and dad's head looked up and said "girls please sit " .

"I have  a  questions for you guys " dad said as he close his laptop . "Alright what is it ? " my sister said

"Well , do you guys like the house? "We both nodded and I asked why
"I actually planned for us to stay in a penthouse but the reason why we hadn't move in there yet because I couldn't find a time to call someone to help me design the place "

"Dad - we are okay here . Actually I would prefer staying here " I smiled
"I agree" my sister said

"Alright " he smiled at us , "so you guys don't wanna move places anymore ?" We shook our heads 'no'

"alright thanks " I nod my head and kissed dad goodnight , my sister did the same thing .  I close the door then walked to my room . As I was about to open the door .

"Have you find anything about mom?" I stopped and sighed
"Lamentably no " I turned around to see my sister frown

"Well-Good night "
"Goodnight "
