Lola is completely enthralled by the limo. She's constantly looking around the inside and is now running her hand across the velvet seating.
"I see you like it," Winston comments while smiling.
"Oh I do," Lola sighs.
Winston reaches down and opens a miniature fridge that's under the seat in front of him. He pulls out a bottle of water and closes the fridge.
"You want some water?" Winston offers.
Lola looks over and her eyes widen, "Where'd you get that?"
"From here," Winston says as he points to the fridge in front of him.
"Wow! You have your own fridge in your limo?!" Lola squeals.
"Yep. But the only thing we're allowed to have in here is water. Water doesn't make a huge mess when it spills and it doesn't leave a stain," Winston explains.
"That makes sense. Sure, I'll have some water," Lola says as she takes the bottle from Winston.
It took a good 10 minutes to finally get to their destination. They reached an iron gate that said "Huntington Manor".
"You live here?!" Lola gasps.
"Yep. My house is at the very end of the block," Winston says.
After the gate opens and Roger drives through it, he drives to the end of the block towards a huge mansion.
When Lola lays eyes on the white marble house in front of her, she was entranced.
"Pinch me, I must be dreaming!" Lola sighed dreamily.
Her dreamy state was interrupted when she felt a sudden sharp pain on her shoulder, "Oww!" She yelped.
She turned around and saw Winston remove his thumb and index finger from her shoulder.
"Did you just pinch me?" Lola questions.
"Yep. I wanted to see if you were actually dreaming," Winston giggles.
"Winstie, that was just a figure of speech," Lola scoffed.
"I know that. I was just messing with you Princess," Winston says as he winks at her.
Roger stops the limo right in front of the house. He exits the vehicle and opens the door. He then tips his hat at Lola.
"Go ahead," Winston urges.
Lola exits the limo and thanks Roger. Then Winston does the same thing.
"Shall we?" Winston requests as he bends his arm at the elbow indicating that he wants Lola to wrap her own arm around his.
It's always been a dream of Lola's to wrap her own arm around a boy's. "Oh Winston," Lola sighs dreamily as she wraps her arm around Winston's.
The two of them walk arm in arm towards the front door. Winston rings the doorbell and waits for only 5 seconds before Henry answers the door.
"Good afternoon, Master Winston," Henry greets as he tips his hat.
"Hi," Winston greets back.
Henry looks over at Lola, "This must be your guest Lola Loud," He comments.
"Yes sir," Lola says.
Henry smiles warmly at her, "Well you're just as lovely as Winston said you were," He compliments.
Lola blushes slightly, "Thank you," She sighs as she curtsies.
"Henry, where's Mom and Dad? I need to introduce her to them," Winston asks.
"Your mother is in the living room and your father is in the parlor," Henry said as he steps aside so the kids can come inside.
"Thanks," Winston replies as he and Lola enter the house.
"Do your parents work?" Lola asks Winston.
"Of course they do. But on Fridays and the weekends they work from home," Winston explains, "My mom is a secretary and my dad is a travel agent, formerly a diplomat."
"Diplomat? Isn't that where you travel the world or something?" Lola wonders.
"Kind of. Once I was born, he couldn't bare the thought of being away from home for months on end. So he resigned from his diplomat job and became a travel agent instead. Now he helps people plan vacations and so forth," Winston says.
Before they go to the living room, Lola keeps her gaze around the huge mansion. Winston takes notice of this and smiles.
"You want me to give you a tour?" Winston asks.
"Oh yes," Lola says in a dazed tone.
"Alright," Winston chuckles.
Lola briefly looks at the shiny white marble floor in front of her.
"Ooh, I can see my beautiful reflection," Lola sighs as she smiles at her reflection.
"Yep. I can see it too," Winston says.
"Do we have to take off our shoes?" Lola asks in a worried tone.
"Nah," Winston says, "Our floor doesn't usually get scratched up. And if we were to spill something, the maids would just clean it up. No biggie."
"If you say so Winstie," Lola sighs.
Winston turns his attention towards a long table, "This is the dining room."
"Oooh, my whole family can sit there without us being squished together," Lola squeals.
"Oh yes. I think the largest amount of people we were able to fit in the dining table was 18. So your family will feel right at home here," Winston comments.
Winston points to a small area near the dining room table, "That's the kitchen."
Lola raises an eyebrow, "Hmm, your kitchen seems a lot smaller than I imagined," Lola comments.
Winston responds to Lola's comment by simply glancing at her. She gives a nervous little smile.
"Anyway…" Winston began, "Let's go to the living room so you can meet my mom."
They walk away from the kitchen/dining room and enter a room that has a big screen TV and a tan leather couch. Sitting in the middle of the couch was Winston's mother Olivia. She was wearing a blue dress and blue sparkly high heels. On her face, Olivia had a pair of dark gray eyeglasses. She also had three gold bracelets on her right wrist and a shiny white pearl necklace on her neck. Her sandy brown hair was tied into a bun. She was holding a silver laptop in her lap and typing away.
"Mom?" Winston spoke up.
Olivia responded to her son calling out to her by looking up. She removed her glasses from her face and beamed at her son and his guest.
"Mom, this is Lola Loud. Lola, this is my mother Olivia," Winston introduces.
"Nice to meet you," Lola says politely.
"Aww, aren't you sweet," Olivia sighs, "Well we'd be glad to have you as a guest in our home."
"Thank you," Lola says.
Suddenly, a ringing sound comes from Olivia's laptop, "Oh that's my boss video calling me. I hate to make you leave, but this is very important."
"Say no more mom," Winston says as he escorts Lola out of the room.
When they leave the room, Winston points to a flight of marble stairs, "We need to go upstairs to see my dad in the parlor," Winston says.
"Parlor? Like beauty parlor or ice cream parlor?" Lola giggles.
Winston starts chuckling, "No not that kind of parlor. It's kinda like a smaller living room. My dad goes in there when he works because it's nice and private," He explains.
After they go upstairs and reach their destination,Winston opens the door just a crack, with a quiet creak escaping from it. Then he lightly knocks on the door, "Knock, knock," Winston whispers.
"Come in," Winston's father Louis called from inside the room.
Winston and Lola enter the parlor. Louis was sitting on a chair near a fireplace. Similar to his wife in the other room, Louis also had a silver laptop resting on his lap.
"Dad?" Winston says.
Louis looks up and smiles at Winston's guest. He places his laptop on a table in front of him, gets up from his chair, and approaches the children.
As Lola gets a closer look at Winston's father, she is blown away by what she sees. Louis had shiny blonde hair that was neatly combed, which is probably where Winston got his own hair from. He also had a nice smooth face that did not have a single trace of facial hair. He was also wearing a white button down shirt underneath a pitch black suit and shiny black shoes on his feet. That is to say, he looked very handsome, which might explain how Winston himself could be so handsome.
Louis got down on one knee so that he's on their level and spoke to Lola. "You must be Lola Loud. Winston has told us all about you," Louis greeted.
As she listened to him, Lola noticed that Louis spoke with a British accent instead of American like Winston and Olivia. However, his voice was so clear and nice to listen to that it didn't really matter to her.
Louis grabbed Lola's hand and held it in his own hands. "You're just as lovely as Winston said you were," He says as he tenderly kisses her on the hand.
Despite this being the second time she was told this, Lola felt even more entranced by this compliment since it was being said by a handsome man while he kissed her hand. Because of this, she blushed even more until her cheeks were almost completely red.
After releasing Lola's hand, Louis gets up. "Now if you children don't mind, I need to get back to work," Louis instructed as he walked back to the chair he was sitting at earlier.
"Ok, we'll get out of your hair," Winston says as he turned towards the door.
Winston was about to leave the room when he turned around to see that Lola was completely frozen in her spot. Confused, he walked back to where she was.
"Lola?"
Lola stood still, with her eyes wide and her mouth in a small circle. Her cheeks are still tinted in a red hue. Her face is very similar to how she looked when Winston gave her a 10 during one of her pageants.
As much as he hated to do this, Winston lightly pushed Lola so she can get moving. "Come on," He coaxed.
Lola blinked to snap herself out of her daze, "Huh? Oh sorry," Lola says as she and Winston shuffle out of the parlor.
