Make Me Series

Tiffany yawned and stretched her hands as she slowly awakened from sleep by the slight noises made by her parents in the room, she rubbed her eyes, slightly avoiding the rays of morning sun that seeped in through the window.

She furrowed her brows, as soon as her eyes landed on her parents, who were dressed formally, in a work attire.

In a twinkle of an eye, she sat up properly. Making herself more sober.

"Mom, Dad, what's the occasion ? Am I missing anything ?" Tiffany stared curiously at her parents, who were fully dressed and was in a rush.

"Tiffy dear, your dad and I are going for a business trip, and we won't be home for a month" Audrey said, staring tenderly at her daughter.

"What the fuck did you just say ?, For a whole month !!, and you're just telling me. Woah, woah, that's great"

"You should as well not inform me, cause it doesn't really matter right now !, " Tiffany said, suddenly becoming angry, at her parents.

She angrily sat up from the bed, and made way to leave the room, not caring about what they were going to do, but her dad beat her to it, he quickly grabbed her wrist stopping her from exiting the parlor.

"Tiffy dear, you know your mom and I have a tight schedule. If actually we were notified earlier, you knew we were going to tell you before now."

"We were just notified this morning by the managing department, about our trip to Singapore. " Freudian said, staring tenderly into her eyes.

Tiffany knew she couldn't withstand or dare stay angry at her father, faced with the apologetic look on his face. She pouted her lips and stared at him, which made both parents smile widely.

"Are you still angry at Daddy ?"Freudian asked, pulling her into his arms.

Tiffany stared at her parents with a sullen face, before she shook her head and smiled.

"Dad is going to make it up to you, once we're back okay. Remember we purposely didn't want to travel without telling you"

"Fine, fine, I get it Dad,"She added.

"How can you both be doing this infront me, arrh, I'm heart broken, do you really think I don't exist anymore. Freudian, let's get a divorce once we're back." Audrey whined, pretending to be really heartbroken.

The father and daughter duo got the joke and bursted out laughing hard, Tiffy stared at her mom's acting face, she couldn't help but roll on the floor while laughing.

Freudian pulled both women into his arms and smiled while staring at both of them;

"I love you both "he said, emphasizing the word more while he stared clearly into his wife's eyes.

This was one thing Tiffany loved about her family, especially the bickering between her both parents. Although they don't always spend time with her, as they were occupied with work stuff, she still loved them, because they always compensated her.

The young 19 year old girl was so enthusiastic, on how she was going to spend the summer holiday with her parents. Her hopes flew so high, that it smashed into pieces, when she heard they were going for a trip, for a whole month at that.

She tried to be happy yet sad, though she knew it wasn't their fault.

"So dad, am I gonna stay in this huge mansion alone, for a whole damn month ?"She asked, staring around their large house.

"Ohh that ?, We'll drop you at Brent's house" Her mom added, making her way out of the room , while carrying loads of bags.

Tiffy's heart dropped immediately, She felt her body froze when she heard Brent's name, she felt all sorts of emotions rushing down her spines. She adjusted her mood and followed her out of the room.

"Brent ?" She asked, obviously trying to hide her nervousness.

"Yeah, Brent. You don't like him or you don't want to stay with him ?, I would just call Caroline, and ask if I can...."

"No mom, just asking. You know Brent's kinda weird, though he's cool. You don't have to stress yourself calling Aunt Caro"

"Are you sure ?"

"Oh common mom, Brent's place is better, I don't wanna get myself sick with Aunt Caro's headstrong kids. I mean they are something else'' Tiffy said, rolling her eyes.
