Chapter 5
Destiny walked in the door to her house, she put all the food away and made dinner. Just when dinner was going to be done, the children walked in.
"Hi mom. what's for dinner?" A boy's voice called.
"Hello Sean. Its beef stew." She acknowledged the first of the children.
"Sounds delicious, Mom. Guess what, its officially spring break!" Scott chimed.
"Hello Scott. Sit down and I'll have a plate ready for you. Will you be here for the evening to?" She simply greeted, knowing the answer.
"If you don't mind."
"Of course not. You know where your room is"
"Hello Mom. How was your day? Dinner smells great" Jean stated as she glided into the room.
"Hello Jean, dear. Thank you. I'm great" she smiled at her youngest daughter, as Jean took her seat at the table.
"Well I would assume you would be, after that HOTTIE asked for your number and a date. Which by the way, he's going to call at 4:30, so don't worry." Jewel announced at her entrance.
Destiny opened her mouth, just to shut it. She could feel everyone's eyes on her. So she kept her back to them and continued to serve them, their dinners.
"What hottie?" Chimed Kallie, as she dragged in a very upset Jade.
"Whose the date this time Jewel?" snapped Jade.
"Jade, I told you its not my fault you embarrassed your-self. So quit complaining. Kallie, the guy is some dude that asked for mom's number at the market. That's all I know, due to my privacy vow." Jewel simply stated
"Thank you for that, Jewel. Now everyone sit and eat. Jade, drop the attitude, you know if Jewel could have prevented your embarrassment she would have. Now eat." Destiny said, regaining control of the situation.
She then handed bowls to all the children and grabbed a cup of blood for her-self. This was her favorite time of day, even though not all of them ate, meaning only her, they still sat together as a family. After dinner, Destiny washed the dishes. Jewel sat down and helped the boys with their homework. Kallie checked over hers and the younger girls' homework. Jade was in the green house with the planets and Jean was in a chair reading a book. All was silent in the house, until the phone rang. When the phone rang, Jewel went to it and picked it up.
"Hello?" she greeted into the phone.
Silence
"Oh. One moment, please." She told the stranger on the phone and turned to Destiny. "Mom, telephone. It's someone named Andy."
"Tell him I'll be there in one moment, Jewel." She simply called back and went up to her room for her private line.
"Ok. I'll tell him." Jewel said and turned her attention back to the stranger on the phone. "Hello? Oh, she said she'll be one moment."
"No problem. Nice talking to you, Andy." And she put the phone down.
