Chapter 13haha. no-name chapter.
“Caroline!” She yelled. “Hey Sarah, do you know that there’s a doorbell you can use?” I sounded sarcastic, pointing at the side. “Sorry. Failing short memory.” She giggled. “Friends again? Marilyn opened the door. ” “Better than ever.” I smiled. Marilyn showed us in. Her house looked like any red-bricked ones with white roofs from the outside. But the interior designing was beyond words. The sparkling chandelier gave the walls a glossy blue shine. All around the spacious hall were shelves stacked with books and the glass doors reflected the dazzling lights. There was a television in front of the long, dark blue couch. The same shade of blue as my sweater. As I shifted my head to the right, there was a polished marble dining table with six chairs draped with silk.”Nice interior designing?” Marilyn interrupted my thoughts. “Jasper’s work of art.” She smiled gleefully. “I like the grand staircase most.” I turned my head towards the elegant flight of steps. It wasn’t like anything like the narrow, dull ones like the one at my house. Instead, the width hovered around our meters, widening even further at the end. The stairs were of glittering white tiles and a red velvet carpet ran through the middle of it. “Wow. Jasper’s really good.” I muttered softly.
“Wait till you see Caroline’s house.” Marilyn turned on the switch anti-clockwise and the room dimmed. “I can’t imagine that.” I rubbed my fingers onto my temples as I tried to picture a house grander than this. Marilyn’s laugh was like the sound of flute. So soothing. “By the way, where’s Caroline?” Sarah walked towards the kitchen. “She went to pick Jasper up from Beverly Hills.” Marilyn walked up the stairs and I took a seat on the couch. I sank into the velvet-like material. So soft. “Is Anabel back?” I called out. “She didn’t call.” Sarah answered from the kitchen. Then, the doorbell rang. “See, someone knows how to use the doorbell.” I teased. “Yes, yes. I think that’s Caroline and Jasper.” I reluctantly got up from the comfortable couch and answered the door. “Hey, Alana.” Jasper kissed me on the cheek. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks. “Look she’s blushing already.” Caroline commented as she rested her head on Jasper’s shoulders. “Like my work of art?” Jasper asked as he wrapped his arm around Caroline’s head. “Simply glamorous.” I walked into the kitchen, leaving the couple with their own private time. “So Caroline, why did you call everyone here?” Marilyn flitted down the stairs. Suddenly, I realized that her clothes matched the theme of the house: blue. She wore a light blue vest over a long sleeved white dress that covered her knees.
“We need a formal dinner to welcome our darling.” Caroline raised her head from Jasper’s shoulder. Then, she walked towards me and hugged me. “Formal dinner for me?” I muttered in amazement. “It’s some kind of tradition.” Caroline smiled sweetly at me. “When’re Steffi and Anabel coming?” Jasper asked. “I’ll call them.” Marilyn replied, prancing towards the phone. “Hey, I’ll go get changed first.” Caroline let go of me walked towards the stairs. Marilyn nodded as he dialed the numbers on the rustic phone. All of a sudden, I felt under-dressed. It was a formal occasion and all of them were wearing evening gowns. I sighed. “Hey wait for me, Caroline.” Jasper called out, picking up the shopping bags on the floor and sprinted towards Caroline. “Darling!” He called out in a playful voice as he scooped Caroline into his arms. She started flailing her arms wildly. “Put me down!” She started screaming and kicked her high heels off. “Hush, darling.” Jasper’s kiss touched her face lightly. “Alana, pick the heels up for me.” I scampered to his side. “Thanks.” Caroline said, before closing her eyes.
