Lola Wants

"That would be nice. Did you want anything special for dinner so I could let Janet know before we left?"

"No, it doesn't matter to me. Let me get my shoes and then I'll meet you out front."

At the restaurant the two women received a couple of glances and some were blatant stares.
Catherine was tall and regal wearing four inch pumps that if Adrian knew about he would drop dead on the spot, a red maternity dress with long pearls and Jackie O glasses. Not a hair on her head was out of place.

Next to her, Fallon had on her ripped jeans wearing some brown knee length riding boots and her favorite Chanel sunglasses. Her hair was hanging in a long ponytail down her back with a pink stone in her nose to match. Both were gorgeous just totally different Catherine, the color of cream and Fallon with her perpetual tan.
That talked about nothing important just enjoying each other's company. Catherine was mostly reassuring Fallon that school would be fun and she'd make friends quickly. And Fallon trying to change the subject mostly focused on the baby.

When they arrived back at the house Adrian was already there waiting on for them. As they opened the door he was on his way down the hall surely, to give Catherine the third degree about being on her feet for so long. Before he could open his mouth she leaned in and kissed him deeply and told him everything was fine. The kissed seemed to pacify him and he led his girls to the living room.

Fallon excused herself when the conversation started to drift from baby names to hospital staff. She only had one more day to herself before she had to put on her game face and get ready to embrace a new school. Dinner was ok and Tuesday was a blur.

A quick jog and a bowl of cereal was the highlight of her morning. She helped Janet make burgers on the grill for lunch. Fallon and her mother watched a couple of movies downstairs until Adrian came in from the office and then they all had dinner together before parting ways for the rest of the night.

Fallon was in her room going through her closet trying to figure out what to wear on her first day. Her father had wanted her to go to private schools but her mother wanted her to feel as normal as possible and let her attend public schools. Plus Catherine had attended private schools herself and knew that those kids were just as corrupt as they accused the kids in public schools of being. She had done her homework and knew that Lincoln High School was one of the best public schools in the state.

Fallon decided on some tight faded jeans, a faded AC/DC t-shirt with slices on the sides that showed flashes of skin and a black leather jacket. She chose her black ankle boots with the silver studs down the heel. Confident with her choice she jumped in the shower washed her hair, dried off quickly and got in bed. She knew she would have a hard time falling asleep because her nerves were all over the place. Her phone was flashing so she checked her messages and one was from her friend Angie wishing her good luck on tomorrow on her first day, easy for her to say. Fallon eventually fell asleep dreading what tomorrow would be like.
