Chương 337: Close call
"What is Aunt doing here??" asked Natasha as she looked at Lulu and she whispered.
"I have no idea, I am just as surprised as you are" said Lulu as she whispered back.
"Come on you have to hide, because I don't know what I'm going to say to my mom if she sees you here" said Lulu as Natasha nodded, she did not know what she was going to say as well, it would seem that this mission of hers ended up turning into some kind of unwanted family meeting.
"Where do I hide?" asked Natasha.
"I don't know, in the closet, come on quickly" said Lulu as she quickly jumped out of bed, and she emptied her closet as she made Natasha hide in there and she covered Natasha under all her clothes.
"Lulu, what is going on in there??" asked Margaret as she could hear some strange noises coming from inside Lulu's room.
"Coming mom, give me a minute" said Lulu as she finished hiding Natasha.
"Can you breathe under there?" asked Lulu as she whispered.
"I can" replied Natasha.
"Okay, I am going to open the door now, you have to be very quiet" said Lulu as she walked to the mirror on the wall, she fixed her hair, removed the panicked look on her face and replaced it with a smile, and she walked to open the door.
"Hi Mom, what a surprise" said Lulu with a smile as she opened the door and Margaret walked in.
"Oh Lulu, what took you so long?" asked Margaret as she looked at Lulu.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting mom, I had to take care of some stuff" said Lulu with a smile as Margret looked around.
"Oh mom, this is such a surprise, I am so happy to see you here" said Lulu as she smiled and she gave her mother a hug and a kiss on the cheek as Margaret smiled.
"I am happy to see you as well Lulu" said Margaret as she smiled.
"Where's dad?" asked Lulu.
"Oh you know your father, he doesn't trust the security to watch over his new convertible, he said something about college students posing in front of his car and posting it on social media or something like that" said Margaret as Lulu laughed.
"So he dropped me off here and went to park in the secure hotel, and he said that he would walk back down here, I really don't get that man and his obsession with that car" said Margaret as she scoffed and Lulu laughed.
"It's a midlife crisis mom" said Lulu as she laughed.
"Well he should snap out of it, next thing you know, he'll dye his hair blue" said Margaret as Lulu laughed even more.
"But you didn't tell me that you were coming" said Lulu.
"I didn't know that I would be coming either, but your father had the great idea of driving us both down here to check on you, but I know he just wanted to drive that car" said Margaret.
"But enough about your father and his midlife crisis at 50, how are you my dear?" asked Margaret as she smiled.
"I am good mom" said Lulu as she smiled and Margaret looked around as she saw the pile of clothes.
"Louise, what have I told you about leaving your clothes out like this?" asked Margaret as she walked to the pile of clothes and Natasha felt her heart drop as Lulu felt like everything was about to come crashing down.
"Mom, you don't have to arrange it for me, I was looking for something and that's why they are scattered like that" said Lulu as Margaret stopped when she heard her phone ring and she looked at it.
"Oh it's your father, he wants us to go to dinner" said Margaret as she smiled.
"Oh that's nice mom, let's go to dinner in fact, let me get changed right now" said Lulu as she smiled.
"Alright dear, see you soon, your father is waiting for me downstairs" said Margaret as she smiled and she walked out of the room as Lulu smiled and she closed the door behind her and she sighed in relief as Natasha came out from under all the many clothes as she and Lulu laughed.
"What are we doing?" asked Natasha as she laughed.
"I have no idea, like this is just so funny" said Lulu as she laughed.
"Come on, I have to get dressed, that was a close call" said Lulu as she laughed and she walked to get her clothes all arranged.
"A very close call" said Natasha as she laughed.
…
The next Monday.
"Come on, everyone be quick" said Alfred as he was busy instructing everyone in the kitchen, the chef today had woken up late, and everything was being schedule.
"Amelia, please make sure to pack Joy's lunch" said Alfred as he looked at Amalia.
"Yes Alfred" said Amalia as she got Joy's pink lunchbox and Alfred walked out of the kitchen.
"Amalia, we are out of eggs, can you go and get me some from the pantry?" asked a maid as Amalia finished packing Joy's lunch and she left it on the kitchen counter.
"Sure" said Amalia as she walked out of the kitchen and the maid moved Joy's lunchbox to the other side of the kitchen counter as Alfred came into the kitchen carrying a heavy box as he took Joy's schoolbag from the counter and he walked to the dining room.
"Your schoolbag Joy" said Alfred as he smiled and he handed Joy her schoolbag.
"Thank you Alfred, see you later" said Joy as she smiled and she giggled and she held Dom's hand and they walked out of the dining room.
…
Natasha was seriously annoyed, she had been here for a week, and still yet, no sign of Mark Anthony, she really did not know what kind of bad luck she had.
"What are you thinking about?" asked Lulu as she and Natasha were walking to her class.
"Oh nothing much, just about how I have been here for a week, and I haven't seen the guy I'm looking for again" said Natasha.
"Oh I am sure you will find him soon Natasha" said Lulu as Natasha hoped so.
"I will see you later, I have a class now" said Lulu as she gave Natasha a kiss on the cheek.
"Alright, have fun" said Natasha as she smiled and Lulu walked into her class as Natasha sighed and she turned around and walked on her way.
Natasha was deep in her own thoughts when she heard the sound of someone whistling at her and she turned around to see a man with an annoying look on his face as Natasha scoffed at him and she went on her way.
"Hey pretty lady" came the voice of the man as he whistled once again and Natasha ignored him as she kept on walking until she felt her hand being pulled back and she turned to look at the man.
"Pretty lady, didn't you see me calling you?" asked the man as Natasha pulled her hand away from his grip.
"I'm not a dog, is whistling is the way you call someone, then no, you weren't calling me" said Natasha as she frowned and she attempted to turn around and walk away, she had no time for this nonsense guy right now, but he held her hand once more.
"Hey, hey, why are you in a rush to leave?" asked the man with a smile.
"Let go of my hand" said Natasha as she tried to pull her hand away but he tightened his grip.
"You really are pretty" said the man as he eyed Natasha up and down.
"And you are a jerk, I have no time for this let me go" said Natasha.
"How about you and I have a little fun together?" asked the man.
"How about you let me go?" asked Natasha.
"How much for some fun with a girl like you?" asked the man as the next moment he felt an ear shattering slap on the right side of his face.
"Are you crazy, do I look like a hooker or what? And this isn't even the place where you get such services, you are such an idiot" said Natasha in anger.
"Why you little…" said the man in anger as he pressed Natasha's hand tighter as students around them were going on their way.
"Let go of me, and this time I am asking you nicely" said Natasha as the man held her closer to himself.
"Or else what hmm pretty face?" asked the man as he held Natasha's chin.
"Or else this" said Natasha as she lifted her leg and she kicked the guy's shin as he cried in pain and he attempted to twist Natasha's hand as she took his hand she twisted it before he could do it and the man fell to the ground as Natasha kicked him and she held his hand behind him.
"Women aren't to be treated like your toys you idiot, count yourself lucky that I'm in a good mood today, or else that ugly face you have would have turned even uglier" said Natasha as the man could not believe how strong she was, he was actually pinned down, he struggled to get up, but he couldn't.
"If I ever, and I mean ever, see you, or hear that you are being a jerk to anyone, I will render you useless, you got that?" asked Natasha as the man grunted and she hit his neck as he cried out in pain drawing the attention of everyone.
"You got that?" asked Natasha again.
"Yes I got it" said the man as he grunted and Natasha let go of his hand as she kicked him once again.
"Good" said Natasha as she dusted herself off and she went on her way as the man groaned.
"Useless bit… " said the man as he got off the ground and his phone rang as he picked it up.
…
Alfred walked into the kitchen as he looked at the chef who was cleaning up and he caught sight of a familiar pink lunchbox on the counter top.
"Isn't this Joy's lunchbox? What is it doing here?" asked Alfred as he picked up the lunchbox.
"Oh my, I… I asked Amalia to get me some eggs, and I forgot to put it in Joy's bag" said the chef as she looked at Alfred and he shook his head as he sighed, this was bad, how could they all forget to pack Joy's lunch?
…
"Alright everyone, eat your lunches so we can go out and play alright?" asked Jennifer as she smiled.
"Yes Miss Honey" said the children as they smiled and Joy was searching through her bag as she only found her water bottle.
"What's wrong Joy?" asked Clarita as she looked at Joy.
"I can't find my lunchbox" said Joy.
"Did you drop it?" asked Prince.
"No, I didn't drop it" said Joy.
"I think that Alfred forgot to back my lunch" said Joy.
"Joy what's wrong?" asked Jennifer as she noticed some commotion coming from Joy's table.
"Alfred forgot to pack my lunch Miss. Honey" said Joy as her eyes started to tear up.
"Oh that's no need to cry Joy" said Jennifer as she walked to Joy who was crying.
"But If my mommy was here no one would have forgotten to pack my lunch" said Joy as she cried.
"Oh my dear, adults forget things all the time, it's not anyone's fault" said Jennifer as she tried to console Joy.
"That's right Joy, it's no one's fault, I can share my lunch with you" said Clarita.
"Yes me too, I will share my lunch with you Joy, don't cry" said Prince and Leon agreed with him as everyone else said that they would share their lunch with Joy and Joy nodded.
"You see Joy, everyone here cares about you" said Jennifer as Joy nodded and she sniffed.
"Don't cry anymore okay?" asked Jennifer as Joy nodded and there was a knock on the classroom door as Jennifer told the person at the door to come in.
"Oh I am sorry to barge in like this Miss, but we forgot to pack Joy's lunch" said Alfred as Joy looked at him.
"What's wrong Joy?" asked Alfred as Joy walked to Alfred and she hugged him as he carried her.
"I don't think that she feels well" said Jennifer as she looked at Alfred.
"Do you not feel well Joy?" asked Alfred as Joy shook her head.
"What's wrong?" asked Alfred.
"I miss my mommy" said Joy as she sniffed.
"Do you want to go home Joy?" asked Jennifer in a soft tone as Joy shook her head, she didn't want to go home yet, there would be no one there, she wanted her mommy.
"Oh dear, everything is fine Joy" said Alfred as if he had known a little forget the lunchbox mishap could have led to this, he would have packed Joy's lunchbox on his own to avoid this.
