Chapter One
Scarlett
I pick up the phone which is vibrating like crazy on the side table. I turned off the ring tone when it was clear that my aunt’s going to call me nearly every hour until I arrive. She’s supposed to be busy organizing her ball, not chasing me. I’m getting ready to leave and go to her house, but she keeps calling, but I’m going to tell her to stop, this is getting ridiculous.
“Yes, Aunt Betty, I’m just getting ready and I’m on my way like I said last night and this morning.”
I don’t beat around the bush. How many times do I have to tell her that I’m coming to her house?
“Scarlett, are you sure that you’re coming? You didn’t sound happy when I suggested it.”
Well, you didn’t exactly suggest it. You emotionally blackmailed me into it. I don’t say that. I know if I do then I’ll hurt her feeling and the last thing I want to do is make Aunt Betty sad when the family avoids her like the plague, because of her eccentric behavior.
“No, it’s just that…”
“That young man of yours still keeping you busy?”
I sigh, “Not exactly, we’re not together.”
There’s a loud screech and then it sounds as if she’s dropped the phone. She picks it up out of breath, “That’s the best news that I’ve heard all year.”
“Sorry?”
“Oh dear, well you know that I didn’t exactly like him. Neither did your dad and don’t worry there’s plenty of men in the sea. Or is it fish?”
I’m just about to correct her when she says, “Never mind. You’ll come and help me with my annual charity ball, we need to do what we can for Africa. They’re starving because of us.”
I want to ask how she figured that out, I doubt that a whole continent is starving and waiting on her ball to be fed. I know better than to ask her for her logic on anything because it never makes sense. It just confuses the hell out of me, all the time.
“Besides, I may not be here next year.”
Here we go again, I know that she’s back to emotionally blackmailing me. If there was a prize for it, she would win it each and every year. She does it so naturally and too well.
