We soon arrive at the restaurant in my car, hopeful that we will get there before April. we head inside to the luxurious waiting room and see April sitting there, dressed in a purple dress, her baby bump looking even larger then last week. she stands up and walks over to khloe and I. "isabelle, khloe!" she greets us in her southern accent. "long time no see!".
"April, it's been a we-" khloe says. I cut her off. "our apologies for being late" .
"it's okay, I already signed us in". we head into the actual restaurant area. a waitress shows us to our table, a four seater, and grabs the extra seat. we sit down and she hands us menus. she leaves with the chair and dissapeares into the staff room. we order our food and then that was when I saw her. A tall, mysterious young lady with a long, dark blue dance skirt and a black corset. "isabelle" a voice says "isabelle!".
I snap back to the present and turn to face April. " how has your work been". I think about it. "not the best" I reply. I work at a beauty store and there are so many Karens. "oh, I am sorry to hear that" she says, her voice sincere. "how have you been, April?" my sister asks, clearly bored of the current conversation. "oh, yes, very good. nice parents and kids". April recently started a job at a primary school. she is very good with kids and is over halfway pregnant with her fiance David. then the food comes. wow, fast service!
we eat our food, savouring every last bit of it. se delicious! we head over to the dance floor and dance to the music. we dance for hours, even with some strangers. then I see her again. the mysterious lady on the stage, singing and twirling around, like a wind up ballerina on a jewellery box.
