As expected, it had been her parents insistence that he invite his sister and niece over to the condo without consulting her first. Chardonnay couldn't help but frown at that and looked away from Arthur and over towards the wall. Sometimes--no, a lot of times--she hated ow nice her parents were, because sometimes they stepped over boundaries that they shouldn't be crossing over, like right now. There hadn't been any mentioning of this to her, and they knew how she liked her privacy and how she went out of her way to keep her condo to herself. And now two people were coming over, going to be having dinner with them, at her condo. Not her parent's house, but at her condo. Had they been going out to eat at a restaurant, then she could have understood a little more. But they weren't doing that.
She was going to have to talk to them about this when they got back.
"Of course you sister is excited," Chardonnay said, rolling her eyes after turning her back to Arthur. She headed into the kitchen where the faint smell became bigger and she saw a sandwich on a plate covered in plastic wrap. She should ask Arthur if this was his, but she decided against it. It was in her kitchen, so it was hers. Besides, from the dark purplish hue darkening the edges of the bread, she could tell was lay in between the breads of the sandwich. Fine, so maybe she wasn't as angry at her dad for making this. It was a meal that he normally made for her when she was upset or feeling down about something. The flavors that contrasted but blended so well with each other had a way of perking her up. He knew she needed this.
She unwrapped the sandwich and then took a bit out of it. Strings of melted cheese pulled gently, even if it wasn't warm and freshly made. Chardonnay had a mouthful in her mouth before Arthur started talking again. She rose her brows as he went to check his phone and grunted at his words. So they'd be here in an hour. Fuck. "You'll be the one bringing them up here--I'm not doing it." She took another bite.
Nearly an hour passed before her parents finally came back to the condo, Thomas carrying chilled bags that kept the meat cool and other items that were better slightly chilled. "Oh, so you're awake now," Thomas said, giving Chardonnay a side hug. "You were just waiting until we left to wake up, huh? Guess you two wanted some alone time." He looked to Chardonnay and then to Arthur, winking at both of them. Chardonnay blushed and grumbled to herself as she started looking through the stuff that they had picked up.
"Are they on their way?" Olivia asked Arthur. "Dinner may take a little bit to make, but that just gives us all an opportunity to talk."
