Chapter 56: Breakfast and The Gifts
If not right on queue Nevaeh had returned just in time, and Bianca was at least saved from any more questions from either her mother or Marco. Neveah had come up to Bianca’s side again and got down on her knees. “This is for you and I had it made special for you, I hope you like it or even love it.” Bianca looked at Nevaeh and gave her a look like “You’ve got to be kidding me” due to it was in a jewelry box which looked like it wasn’t some cheap box but Tiffany and company in fact. She opened the box and to her surprise it was a necklace in with a heart at the end that said “Nevaeh” inside and as she looked to Nevaeh. She noticed that Nevaeh had one around her neck that said “Bianca”. Bianca started to get angry and didn’t know what to say so she kept it nice and sweet “thank you it’s beautiful.” Nevaeh did not seem to, happy herself due, to she went in for a hug and Bianca shrugged her off and so Nevaeh returned to her seat.
Bianca went back to drinking the rest of her coffee and talking up a storm about her plans for the day. “So now that I’ve finished breakfast and opened up all my fantastic presents, I’d love to go use the restroom and clean up a little it is 8am and I’ll have to be leaving in about an hour” she reminded them looking at Marco and then to her mother and they both nodded and let her leave the table. Bianca turned back “Nevaeh you coming girl you can help me pick out a over shirt for my top to wear while I’m cleaning up, if that’s alright with the two of you?” Marco and Anastasia smiled “Sure not a problem you girls hurry though because we still need to discuss a few details of the day you have Bianca and then you can be on your way”, “sure no problem, Mother” she said as she strolled through the massive living room and down the hall to her bedroom door. As she opened her bedroom door, she noticed that Nevaeh was wallowing and had her head down as she walked down the hall.
Bianca waited until Nevaeh got closer before she said a word. “I’m not sure what you were thinking with this necklace, but we can discuss more in detail once we are behind closed doors” she said as she waited for Nevaeh to walk through the door. Then herself and once the door was closed Nevaeh grabbed Bianca and picked her up. “What is with all of them wanting to pick me up” she thought and figured she’d just play along. Nevaeh carried her to the bed and sat down with her straddling her lap and buried her head into her chest. “I’m sorry angel I’m not sure what I was thinking. I mean I know that you’ve said many times before that you can’t offer me anything more than what you can which I guess I should be happy to do even this and be a part of even a little of your normal life.” Bianca pulled the hair on the nape of Nevaeh’s neck “You think this is a fucking normal fucking life? Have you lost your fucking mind, that out there is just a front they could care less about me.” Bianca swiftly got up off Nevaeh and headed towards the bathroom “I need you to just help me out find me a light open faced sweater to put over this” she said before closing the door.
Once all washed and pretty again she went to her deep walk-in closet pulled back her hidden compartment and pulled out the case that Marco had given her that morning. She placed the case on the end of her bed and slowly unlocked the buttons and as Nevaeh just starred dumbfounded at the case Bianca shook her head. Bianca slowly and shakily opened the case “Look this is a lot to just explain so I will show you just a fraction of what I deal with” once the case was fully open Neveah almost chocked on her own salvia as she saw hundreds of dollars wrapped and banded with money bands in a case. Bianca closed the case and shoved it back in her secret place and returned to the bed putting on her light sweater. “Well, it’s 8:30AM and they still want to talk to me so let’s go” she said as Neveah tried to sputter out something that Bianca knew she just didn’t have time for. Bianca went to her bedroom door and opened it slowly as Nevaeh stood behind her close enough for Bianca to feel her hot breath on the back of her neck. She slowly turned and gave Nevaeh a soft kiss on her lips “Thank you for my gift it’s beautiful but we really need to talk about this.”
Once back out into the living room Bianca saw that Marco and Anastasia were both setting on the couch and waiting. Bianca automatically followed their unspoken words and sat on the reclining chair that she loved immensely. Nevaeh sat on the loveseat that sat adjacent to the chair when Marco and Anastasia welcomed her to join. As Bianca waited for someone to say something she rocked back and forth just trying to enjoy the peace she was feeling inside at that exact moment. “So, this evening will be the socialite of the end of the school year, and with only about 2 ½ weeks or so left of school we have some big plans coming up. One’s we’ll discuss more in detail at another time in private. So, we want you to go out and have a good day spend a little money buy what you need for the weekends parties that will be taking place beside tonight for your party, which means you will need 3 gowns for these occasions. We’ve set up a few appointments for you at the mall at your favorite places so make sure your, on time. Here are your appointment times and well for the rest of the time you are free to do what you wish” Marco said as he handed the folder to her.
Bianca was starting to become irritated with everything, but knew that the sooner they finished with her she could leave and be gone most of the day until evening when she’d have to be back for her party. Marco squeezed her hand with a little more ease than usual “I’ve just been on the phone with the contractor, and he’ll be here at about 9:15 to take a look around. Then give us a rough estimate on the whole project”, “Um if it’s alright I’d love to also speak with him on some ideas I have if that’s alright? So that we don’t have to spend more money for him to come out I can always go to him with what my ideas are” Bianca said as Marco seemed to get a little more excited about the whole thing. Bianca smiled and looked once more at her mother and then at her Tiffany and co. watch and raised from the chair. “I better get going I have to go pick up the girls Joy, Amanda, and Stephanie you know they take forever to get ready. One of the reasons why I gave them until 9:45 and since they all slept over at Joy’s it’ll be fast and easy” she said as both Marco and her mother gave her a hug and a kiss.
