Lea's pov
"What do you want to talk about dad?" I said walking over to the couch and sitting down.
"Your aunt pretty much left everything in her will to you" my dad said while folding his hands like it was a business deal.
"Why would she leave everything to me?"
"Well you are her only niece and you took care of her when she was sick. You even moved out of the house just to take care of her while in high school and in college. I mean she did consider you as her own daughter."
"I know that but I didn't think she'd leave me pretty much everything! How do you know this?"
"She's my sister and she told me this a long time ago." He said calmly.
"Oh ok, but enough with the will talk, what are we going to do for the funeral, I mean we don't even have her body to bury."
"We'll just have a memorial service for her in the church down the street on Saturday. But the lawyers will want to talk to us in two days for the reading of the will."
"This is all too much. I can't deal with all this happening this week." I sighed
"What's been going on in your life? I know you're not with that Tom kid anymore"
"Well yeah I walked in on him and Heather having s*x so I kinda had to leave him. I met a multibillionaire and I pissed him off too."
"Well aren't you just having a swell time in the city." My dad chuckled.
"Yeah I'm basically Carrie Bradshaw" I said.
"But guess what I got in the mail today?" My dad said, raising an eyebrow.
"What would that be father?" I said
"We got cruise tickets in our name. Now you wouldn't know who sent that do you?"
"Yeah I kinda sent them, in my defense you guys never go anywhere and I thought that it would be nice for you to have a vacation all on your own."
"Well thanks honey, we appreciate it."
My dad then pulled me in for a hug.
"So dad are you hungry because I'm starving!"
"Alright I'll eat, don't think I don't know what you're doing because I do!" He said with a slight smile.
We walked into the kitchen and saw that my mom had set the dinner table and was about to eat.
"What?! You guys were taking too long so I decided that I'm going to start without you! Go wash your hands so we can eat." My mom said.
We did as we were told and sat down to eat. Now would have been the perfect time to tell them about the fact that they would be grandparents but with everything happening I don't think I should.
"Lea how's the job treating you?" My mom asked.
"Uhm it's ok I got a raise the other week because I passed out and also because I do my boss's job for him." I said while eating.
"You know I think you should quit and open a bakery. I mean you've always wanted to open one ever since you were small and I don't like the thought of you doing something that you don't love." My mom said.
"But mom I need money to open a bakery and more money to keep it going. I've been saving some money just for it but it would only be enough for just a building I couldn't pay anyone to help me." I sighed.
"Your aunt owned multiple buildings. I hope you know that, if she didn't sell any, what would you do with them?" My dad asked quietly.
"I'd obviously use the biggest one to open a bakery, then the others I would rent it out."
"I think it's time to put in your two weeks notice." My mom said.
"I still want to keep working until the bakery is set up. The amount of money I make is why I keep working there."
"Ok honey but know that we support you with everything." My mom said.
After that we talked about nothing special and I hung out with my parents.
"Ok guys it's time for me to go. I have a long day tomorrow and I need to get my beauty sleep." I said.
"Yeah you really need it." My dad said.
"Dad!"
"Oo shots fired bang bang!" My mom said.
"Mom don't ever say that again! Dad, you're supposed to tell me I'm beautiful and always will be. But whatever I'm not mad, I know I'm beautiful you know it too."
"Wow I'm glad that you're so modest" my dad said.
"Modest is my middle name! But see you later parents." I gave my parents a hug and went home.
When I was almost at my apartment my phone rang with an anonymous number.
"Hello"
"Azalea?"
"Yes, who is this?"
"Who do you think it is?"
"Well if I knew I wouldn't have asked that question now would I genius?"
"Sassy I like that."
"And I like to know who I'm talking to"
"It's Kostas"
