The car came to a stop and she stepped out feeling elated as a maid walked up to her.
" Welcome ma'am"
" Thank you" she replied.
The lady smiled and led the way in. Sienna couldn't help but look around.
" Nothing changed" she thought as she stepped into the living room where her parents were already waiting.
" Sienna dear, I'm glad you're back" her mom said and pulled her into a tight hug.
" I miss you mama" she said
" She's not going to run away, Elena" her father, Mr Reynard said, interrupting the mother- daughter moment.
" Hello Papa" Sienna said going to hug him too.
" That's my girl" he said and rubbed her hair.
She chuckled lightly as the feeling of being treated like a little girl sorrounded her.
" How are you" he said
" I'm fine papa"
" I see your stay in Spain has its turn on you. No more dad?" He joked. She smiled, and shook her head.
" You should go freshen up while I set the table" her mom said.
" Ok mama" she replied and made her way tup the stairs.
She smiled the moment she got to her room. It was as if she never left. The curtain were hung up and the windows were open. Her favorite strawberry scent filled the air making her inhale deeply. She got to her closet where her clothes were neatly arranged and she grabbed a purple dress before going to take a bath.
Minutes later, she stepped out of the bathroom feeling refreshed.
She grabbed her phone from the bedstand and clicked on a group chat which was created just for her friends and her. She typed in a few words.
Sienna: hey girls, guess what, I'm back!
There was a knock on the door, accompanied by a voice
" Miss, lunch's ready"
" I'll be there in a minute" she said, and slid her feet into her footwear.

An awesome aroma hit her while walking down the stairs, which brought a smile on her face.
" Sienna, come down quickly. Lunch is served" her mom urged.
" Your mom has put in a lot of effort in making this meal. I'm sure she wouldn't go this far for me even if it's my birthday" Reynard joked and sir na hugged him from behind.
" Of course not papa, you and I knows how much mama cares for you" she said giving him a kiss on the cheek.
" Don't listen to him" Elena said as they settled down.
" Our daughter is all grown up"
" That's true" Elena replied. Her gaze traveled to her daughter who had grown up to be a beautiful young lady with dark long hair, brown eyes and beautiful set of pink lips.
" Since you're back Sienna, what's your plan?" she said.
" I plan on assisting dad in business" she replied.
" You don't have to bother yourself with that. Your dad is still quite strong. You go have some fun while dad handle things in the business world" said Reynard.
" But...
" No buts dear, you just got back, have some time with your friends" he said, not letting her finish.
She sighed. As much as it's against her wish, she couldn't dent the fact she miss her friends a lot.

She returned to her room after lunch and clicked on the group chat which was already exploding with screams from her friends. Although they were just two of them, but they make up a thousand people. She couldn't stop her smile as she read their chat.
River: are you for real?
Sasha: " when did you arrive?
River:" why did you keep it from us?
Sasha:" I promised you a welcome gift and you took me unaware!
River: " you there sienna?
Sasha: let's meet at our favorite coffee store quickly!
River: good idea sash, let's meet there. Right sienna?
Sasha: thanks for the nickname Ree.
She laid back on her bed and typed a reply.
Sienna: " sure, I'll meet up with you girls
Almost immediately, a chat popped in.
River: she's really back! I'll go get ready;
Sasha: I'm already walking out the door!
She left the group chat for her closet where she grabbed a white dress shirt, a red skirt with flowery design accompanied by a black hilled shoe.
" This would so" she thought and tries them on. She stared at her reflection on the mirror for a while then picked a black purse to go with.
" I'm hanging out with my friends" she said as she got to the door.
" Be back early" her mom called after.
She almost rolled her eyes at her words.
Be back early?
Come on, she's twenty one.
