back and I jumped in the front. It really was a nice car. He drove up to an enormous house. I had always wondered who lived here. "Hey, come meet my mom guys", he said leading the way in. The house was decorated like something you would see in a movie. I was sure that the kitchen was from Food Channel. Inside the kitchen browsing through recipe books was a very pretty woman. She was simply dressed in a sleeveless jumper; no makeup or jewelry. She had blonde hair with dark brown streaks in it. Her eyes were a dark sea blue. As we walked in she looked up and smiled.
