Chapter ten

20 years later...

21-year-old Jessica Christina Helmsley sat in her seat on the plane. She was flying back home because she and her 20-year-old sister are planning on getting married. Jessica's been dating her mom's best friend's son in the last three years. Amanda's been dating her dad's best friend's son in the last two.

Christian Martin, Andrew and Trish's 21-year-old son, has had a serious crush on Jessica for years. And who wouldn't be? Jessica was a living, breathing replica of her mother, Amy Christine Dumas Helmsley a.k.a Lita.

Amanda Alison Helmsley looked more like her father, Hunter Hearst Helmsley. She had dirty blond hair, chocolate brown eyes, a vanilla complexion and a body to die for. She was committed to look good and be healthy.

Spending time in New York city was breathtaking, to say the least. The sights and people were on fire when she took it all in. Studying the Big Apple was awesome!

Jessica buckled her seatbelt because the plane was about to land. Her fiancé and her sister was picking her up at the airport so she was excited. Also, she couldn't wait to see her best friend, 22-year-old Natalie Martin, Trish's daughter.

When the plane landed, she practically ran out of there. She went to checkpoint to pick up her bags and then walked around so she could find them.

When she saw a sigh that read, 'Jessica's home,' she smiled. Immediately, she ran to them, laughing and screaming her lungs out. Jessica leaped in his arms and kissed him passionately. Christian twirled her around while Amanda just stood there and laughed.

He sat her down but he didn't release her immediately. Jessica laid her head against his shoulder and giggled.

"How was New York City?" Christian asked as he carried her things towards the car.

"It was great! I was upset, however, when I had to leave. But I'm glad to be back home," Jessica replied, smiling.

"Personally, Jessie, I'm glad to have my sister back home. It was boring without you," Amanda said, wrapping her arm around her shoulder.

Jessica just smiled.

"Baby, Jessie's home!" Hunter exclaimed as he ran downstairs.

"I'll be down in a minute!" Lita yelled back.

Soon as she walked through the door, her father swept her up in his arms. Jessica squealed with delight as she wrapped her arms around him. A few minutes later, Lita came downstairs, looking beautiful as usual, and embraced her daughter.

"I've missed you both so much," Jessica said as she smiled at them.

Hunter stroked her hair. "New York made you look radiant, sweetheart. I can't believe both of our daughter turned out to be beautiful."

She blushed. "Well, we came from our beautiful mother and handsome father."

"Since you're home, why don't you come in and eat? I made a big dinner," Lita suggested.

"That sounds good but I need to see my best friend for a minute. You know how Natalie is when I'm not around." Jessica laughed.

"Well, go on and see her, baby. Then come back here so we could have a big family feast," Lita suggested as she escorted her daughter to the door.

"I love you guys," Jessica declared before she walked out.

"Jessica! When did you get home?" Trish asked as she led her inside.

"Just a few minutes ago. I came to see Natalie." she smiled.

"Well, you go and make yourself at home. After all, you're gonna be marrying my son in a few months." Trish kissed her cheek before she went and looked for her daughter.

Jessica walked into the living room, only to find Amanda and her fiancé Jeremy Calloway, Mark's son engage in a heavy make-out session. She just stood there and giggled at him going at it like a pair of monkeys in a zoo.

"Am I interrupting something?" Jessica asked between laughs.

Amanda squealed when she saw her older sister looking at them. Immediately, she pushed Jeremy away from her and straightened out her clothes.

"How long have you been standing there, Jessie?" Amanda asked as she nervously stood up.

Jessica smirked. "Not long. By the way, it seemed like you two were about to have sex right there and then."

"We were, until you showed up!" Jeremy exclaimed. Then he rolled his eyes.

"Hey, you should be thanking me. Trish and Andrew would've have your ass thrown out of their house if they caught you doing the deed," Jessica reached over and hugged her sister.

Amanda returned her embrace. "I guess you're right, big sis. Jeremy and I needed some privacy because Mom and Dad were doing the deed back at the house."

"What? Even after all these years?" Jessica was stunned.

"Believe me, big sis, they were going at it. Mom was saying how Dad was the man." Amanda giggled.

Jessica shook her head and laughed.

Later on that night, Jessica, Amanda and Natalie helped Trish and Lita in the kitchen while the guys was in the living room watching a wrestling match on television. The girls shook their heads and laughed, realizing they can never understand men when it comes to sports.

"Sara, when's Gracie coming?" Amanda asked as she grabbed a can of corn from the cabinet.

Sara Calloway, Mark's wife, smiled. "In a little while, honey."

Gracie and Amanda have been best friend all their lives. They went to same school, was in the same grade and did practically everything together. Whenever they walked down the street, some people thought they were sister because of their similar attributes.

The same can be said about Natalie and Jessica. Because of their mothers, Trish and Amy being best friends, it was only natural for their children to be best friends. Natalie and Jessica acted more like sisters and they seemed to be inseparable.

A few minutes later, Gracie came in the kitchen, wearing a navy blue halter top and blue jeans. Her hair, like her mother's was long and brown and face was natural with a hint of lip gloss on her lips.

Amanda dropped everything and hugged her best friend. Gracie just smiled and returned her embrace.

Watching them hug made Jessica realize how lucky she was to have Natalie as her best friend. Immediately, she went over and hugged her as a sign of love and respect.

"Everyone, I would like to propose a toast to our kids, who has shown us more love and respect than we knew," Hunter said at the dinner table.

The girls went out of their way to make dinner. The seating arrangements was unbelievable. The couples looked so in love with each other.

As he made a toast, Hunter leaned down and kissed his wife passionately. Lita smiled at him when they pulled apart. Even after 20 years, they're still very much in love and still was in awe of the passion between them.

Trish leaned over and kissed Andrew on his cheek. He kissed her forehead and wrapped his arm around her shoulder. Even after the turmoil, they're still together and they couldn't be happier.

Mark and Sara gazed in each other's eyes and grinned. Love brought them closer together than ever before.

Now, all of them are happy to see their children find love with each other.

Jessica held Christian's hand and smiled at him. They couldn't wait to be husband and wife.

Amanda and Jeremy kissed and held each other close. He caressed her face with his hand and smiled at his fiancee. He can't wait to make her his bride.

In the end, everyone had found true love. And they plan to hold on to it until their dying day.
