For the next five days mom and I talked about what Lucian said, but we were still confused. I wanted to talk to Lucian to get more details but I was scared to get those details. What did it all mean? How could he be so calm about everything. First of all he is royal and he expects me to what, marry him when I turn eighteen. I never planned to marry. I want to be an artist and travel the world. I have no idea what to do. I need to talk to mom, we need to talk to Lucian again that's for sure. But I don't want Steve there. Something about the way he went after Lucian on Christmas really pissed me off. Okay enough thinking I am just giving myself a headache. I need to go help mom set up for tonight's party. Although personally I don't understand why we always have a new years party. All we do is drink apple cider and make false promises about the next year.
"Hey mom do we have any more streamers or do I need to put that on the list? Also we still need those noise makers and cups. Is there anything else you want me to put on the list?"
"Actually I want to do a few things differently this year. Since you will be eighteen this year I want to do champagne instead of cider. I will get cider as well but since your graduating this year and going to college I want to make this New Years special. You know what I mean? So on the list we need cider, champagne, streamers, hats, and I want to make it interesting let's get masks. Everyone has to wear a mask at the party. Then we need to go pick up the food. It will be ready at noon. And we can't forget the cake. But I think we will start the day by going to breakfast first, What do you think?"
"Sounds good to me, I think it's great that you want to go all out this year. And you know the gang has been asking you for a few years to get something harder than just cider, you are going to make a lot of people happy. So where are we going for breakfast?"
"Well you have always like IHOP let's go there. I know serving something stronger will make everyone happy. But I just want to have fun this year. Now let's go we have things to do."
Mom and I had a great day. After breakfast we got everything we needed on our list. We even got our hair and nails done. I don't know for sure but to me it felt like mom was setting me up for something. I don't know if she is saying goodbye or if she is trying to set me up with some guy. All I know is something seems to be a bit odd today. I do know there is seven hours till the party. We finally finished putting the decorations up so I am going to take a nap.
