Chapter 15

Dani arrives back home, dropped off by Amelia's chauffeur. It was five minutes till eleven. Perfect timing, she thought to herself. It was a long night and she was tired. She had fun, for the most part, dancing with her friends and hanging around with them. Her favorite part was watching Amelia flirt in a drunken state. She had to admit, she really wanted to have a beer or two. The only reason why she declined the offer was that Dani knew Emily would kill her if she went back home drunk. Dani didn't want Emily to take out her cop's side and start interrogating her.

Dani knew two sides of Emily's personality. One side was her human side, a loving and caring person. Fun to hang around with her sarcasm and sense of humor. The other side was Agent Prentiss. Authoritative and strict. A serious person that one should not mess with.

The teen preferred her human side.

She heads up to the building's entrance and goes inside. Dani reaches the unit's door and unlocks it. She steps inside and takes off her shoes, placing them in the shoe rack. Dani heads up to the kitchen in order to get a glass of water.

"You're here," Emily says, walking inside the kitchen.

Dani jumps up, startled. "My God, you scared me."

"Sorry, Dan," Emily said. "How was the party?"

"It was...eventful," Dani replied, taking a sip of water.

"Eventful?" the agent questioned with a brow raised. "What happened?"

"Ummm. Stuff, a lot of stuff happened. You had to be there in order to understand what happened."

"Okay," Emily said with a nod. "But you had fun, right?"

"Most definitely," said Dani with a smile. "How about you? Any interesting events while I was out?"

"Well, I did receive an unexpected call today."

"From who?" Dani asked with curiosity.

"From my mother."

"Your mother?" said Dani with her brows raised. "Well, that's something."

"Yup. She called me today and told me she was going to arrive here in DC in a few days," Emily said. "She wants to come over and have dinner together. She wants to meet you."

"Right," Dani said looking confused. "I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing."

"What do you mean?" asked the brunette.

"I mean, you hardly ever talk about her," Dani said looking at Emily. "I'm not sure what to expect."

"I will be real honest with you, I also don't know what to expect," Emily said, shaking her head. "That woman is unpredictable."

"Now I know where you got that from," Dani said with a grin.

Emily nudges Dani's shoulder. "Hey."

Dani chuckles. "Well, I should go to sleep. Partying can be a very tiring job," she says while stretching.

"I bet it is. It is probably the most difficult job out there," Emily says sarcastically.

"I take my job very seriously, agent," says Dani. "Alright. I'm going to bed. Buenas Noches." Dani walks up to Emily and gives her a hug. Emily returns the hug happily.

"Buenas Noches."

It's a Wednesday afternoon and Dani is in her final class for the day. She is sitting at the back of the class next to Emma, paying attention to the lecture.

"Dani, can you tell me what does Comment Vous Appelez-Vous mean?" asked the teacher.

"I think it means What's your name?" Dani answered.

"Oui!" the teacher said, clapping her hands. "Good job, Daniela."

Ding

The bell rings for dismissal and the students pack up their things and leave. Dani and Emma grab their book bags from their locker when they notice the group of chaotics looking at them from the end of the hallway, anger expressed on their face. Dani closes her locker, looking back at them. Emma just grabs her shoulder and guides her out of the building. They start walking back home.

"God, I thought they would get over it by now," Emma said.

"Well I didn't," said Dani. "I'm surprised they haven't jumped me or something."

"Jump you?" Emma said with a brow raised. "They won't be dumb enough to do that. They are scared of you, Dan," she said with a chuckle.

"You are right about that," Dani said with a smirk.

"Do you wanna go get some food today?" Emma asked.

"Sorry, I can't go today. Do you want to go tomorrow, though?"

"How come you can't come today?" Emma asked, looking at her. "Do you have a date?"

"Nope. I do have dinner tonight. Emily's mom is coming over."

"Her mom?" Dani asked. "I don't think I've ever heard you mention her before."

"That's because Emily never mentions her," Dani said. "I don't even know what the lady looks like."

"Wow. So this will be your first time meeting her. That's something."

"Yup. I just hope things run smoothly," Dani said, arriving at her place.

"Good luck my friend. Tell me how things went," Emma said. They hug and part ways.

A few hours pass and Emily is getting ready for her mother's arrival. She made sure every area of the house is very clean and spotless. She was cooking dinner while Dani was preparing the table. Emily didn't want to go too far with the cooking, afraid she might screw up, so she settled in making lasagna. She felt pretty overwhelmed with her mother's arrival, knowing that she can be very meticulous about everything. She didn't really care when it came to her mother's personal opinion. She just didn't want to look bad in front of Dani.

"Dani, have you seen the nice plates and silverware we have?" asked Emily.

"Aren't those the ones next to you?" replied the teen. Emily looks to her left and sees the plates that she was looking for.

"Oh, thank you," she said in a tired tone.

"Sheesh, Em. Ever since I got here, you were all over the place getting everything ready," said the teen walking towards Emily. "I'm starting to think that the royal family will be having dinner with us."

"I know. I'm sorry. It's just that my mother can be very special when it comes to things."

Knock Knock

"Speaking of the devil," Emily murmured. "Honey, I will go get the door. Why don't you finish up setting the table?"

"Yes, mam." The teen replied. "Good luck," she said with a wink and went on to go finish setting up the table.

"Thank you, dear. I will need all of it," Emily said as she walked up the door. She pauses, takes a deep breath, and opens the door. She sees a tall, slim, pale skin woman. Mid-length raven hair with grey hairstreaks. She is wearing a black dress with heels. It was indeed her mother. "Hello, mother," Emily said with a small smile.

"Emily, dear. Time has passed, hasn't it?" Elizabeth replies. She gives Emily a small hug and enters. She takes off her coat and Emily hangs it up at the coat rack. Emily guides Elizabeth to the living room, where Dani is sitting. Dani stands up and walks towards both ladies.

"Mother, this is Dani. Dani, this is my mother," Emily said.

"Hola, muchacha," Elizabeth says with a broken spanish accent. "It's…bueno to meet you," she says, butchering her words.

Emily and Dani look at the Ambassador confused in the sudden change of language. "Hola, Ambassador Prentiss. It's nice to meet you too," Dani said, stretching her hand.

Elizabeth gives Dani a surprised look and then shakes her hand. "Oh, my. I didn't know you speak English, Dear. Please forgive my butchered Spanish," she says with a smile.

Emily looks at Elizabeth, confusion on her face. "Why wouldn't she know-"

"That's alright," Dani said with a smile, interrupting what the agent was going to say. She didn't want Emily discussing with her mother, especially if she just arrived. She just hopes everything runs well for the rest of the night.
