"You are leaving now?!" Sandra let out looking surprised, her eyes not leaving her best friend who began to fold her clothes into her pink luggage.
Prisca let out a sigh, "I have no other choice Sandra, the wedding will take place tomorrow and my mum needs me to be there on time that's why I have to leave tonight".
Sandra's eyes flickered in confusion, "But I thought you said the wedding is in the next two days?"
Prisca picked up a cloth from the closet and turned to her friend, "I had the same thing on my mind but plans got changed, my hands are tied".
Sandra sat heavily on her bed, "And I wanted us to go clubbing tonight, you know that it is summer and it will be so much fun with you" she said sadly.
"Relax Sandra, I will only be there for two weeks and I will be back to spend the rest of the summer with you. You know that we are in our third year in College and we will be in our finals by next year. After college, we can have enough time to do as we like" Prisca spoke with a smile but Sandra didn't buy it.
"We won't, after college, we will become full grown adults and we will be handling jobs by then. Remember your dream to become a successful model, and I know that when this happens,you won't even have time for me, your family or yourself because you will be traveling around in a private jet" she sighs,"The life of the rich is very admirable" she said dreamily.
Prisca didn't say a word at first, she remembered the words of her mother when she stated that her fiance is rich and Prisca couldn't help but imagine how rich it could be.
"You don't have to worry about anything Sandra. We have been friends since high school and we will always be. You don't have to worry, I will call you at every opportunity that I have. And of course, you have James, you can stay over with him rather than staying alone in this house".
Sandra picked up a gum from a table nearby, unwrapped it and dumped the piece into her mouth, "It can be boring with James at times. You know that he isn't a girl and I need someone I can be able to speak with, especially my naughty games' '.
Prisca laughed, "Call me when you need me, you can also chat with me on WhatsApp or Snapchat. Don't forget that we have Instagram and we can also video call. So you see, I won't be away" she assured her friend who chewed the gum in her mouth, her eyes not leaving Prisca who quickly packed.
Soon, Prisca stood ready to leave, she glanced at her wristwatch, held her luggage and began to head out of the room.
"When will the flight take off?" Sandra asked as she walked along with her out of the room.
"In the next thirty minutes, I have to be there on time," Prisca replied, heading towards the front door.
They both got out, Prisca stopped a Taxi and turned to her friend with a smile. "I will miss you" she whispered to Sandra in a hug.
"I will miss you too" Sandra let go of her grip with a smile.
She watched her friend get into the car while the driver helped her place her luggage at the boot.
"Be safe girl and remember to get laid, your coochie needs it" she winked naughtily.
Prisca laughed and the taxi sped off heading towards the airport.
Soon, she got to the airport, and walked into the large hall filled with people.
Within the next ten minutes, the plane took off and Prisca wondered what awaited her in California. All she hopes is that time could go very fast so that she can have her life back to normal and her mum can have a wonderful marriage just like she has always hoped and dream for.
The flight to California took two hours. Soon, it landed in California and Prisca found herself coming out of the plane.
She took her luggage and walked towards the end of the airport, her eyes scanning around for whomever her mother must have sent to pick her up. Confused because the airport was filled with people, she picked up her phone and dialed her mother's line.
"Mum" she said as soon as her mother's present was available at the other end. "I am already at California now, still at the airport but I can't find whomever you must have sent to come pick me up" she said all at once, her eyes scanning around people who passed by her.
"Oh, just go outside, the driver is waiting to pick you up in a black limousine".
Prisca stood in shock,she doesn't want to feel stupid but she has never been driven in a limosine and just hearing that a limosine is waiting for her out of the airport, she didn't know what to think.
"A limousine?" She inquired just to be sure that she heard her mum well.
"Yes sweetie, a limousine, I will call the driver now to tell him that you are coming out of the airport. What are you putting on?".
"A blue shirt and black blouse" Prisca replied with excitement building inside of her.
"Alright, just go out,you will see a black limousine waiting patiently outside the airport, they will take you home and the maids will lead you to your room" Evelyn instructed her
Prisca looked up, she held her luggage tightly, "Alright Mum, I am heading out now" she said as an uncertain feeling overwhelmed her.
Coupled with her luggage and hand bag, Prisca walked out of the airport and the busy road of California was thrown right on her face. It's been a year since she last visited and it feels just the same. The busy road, sound of cars and the atmosphere, everything felt very alike.
"Hello Miss" A thick muscular voice said behind her as a group of hot girls passed by her.
Prisca turned back and was surprised to see a tall hefty man standing behind her, he wore a black suit and had a pair of dark sunglasses on.
"Are you talking to me?" She inquired, a bit confused that a strange man just walked up to her.
"Are you Miss Prica Collins?" He inquired with a thick voice that made Prisca know that this man must be a bodyguard to a very important person and for the fact that he knows her first name and last name, it baffled her to the core.
"Yes I am, how can I help you?" She asked politely, her eyes not leaving the man.
"Your mother insists that I pick you up from this airport, come with me, your drive awaits" he said and collected Prisca luggage from her.
Surprised that this is the driver her mum spoke about, Prisca couldn't believe it, she was expecting an old chauffeur but seeing this handsome tall built man made her throat dry.
"Thanks" she muttered as the man helped her into the limo.
As soon as she got in, Prisca was so mesmerized by it, she had never ridden in a limo and just the look alone of all these made her feel on top of the world.
She looked at her side and saw a glass and a bottle of an expensive wine.
"Help yourself Miss, your mother won't like it if I don't give you the best service she wants me to offer". The driver said and started the car.
Prisca didn't want to have the drink, she was thrilled alone by how well the driver spoke and everything around her. With her fingers wrapped around her phone, she couldn't wait to tell Sandra about everything, she knows how excited her friend will be and right now, Prisca can feel the excitement growing inside of her.
The car drove for a while to a destination she knows nothing of. She fixed her eyes to the car window before her, her gaze fixed on people who passed by and she couldn't help but wonder how rich her step father would be. Maybe her stay over here won't be as bad as she thought it would be, she just has to calm herself and watch how things will go.
The buzz of her phone alerted her, she quickly glanced at it thinking it would be a text from Sandra but it was just a text from her mother asking her if she is on her way to the house.
Prisca replied to her through a text, placed her phone on her lap and looked up at the long interior with only her taking all the space. Right now, she hopes that her two weeks stay over here won't be bad, she just hopes so, right now, nothing is more important than her modeling career she left back in London.
