In Between The Lies

Chapter 11: Kinda Kinky?

AERO's POV

"Nora! So nice to see you again!" Mrs. Buchanan greeted me in the entry way of their home.

"You too." I smiled.

"What a lovey bag!" She pointed down at my green shoulder bag. "May I take it from you?"

"Thank you." I said passing it to her. Immediately after I passed it to her Julia came over to us and took it from her.

"Please," Mrs. Buchanan said waiting for my to go ahead of her into the dining room.

I showed a smile and walked forward. Thomas's father was already sat at the head of the table, next to him sat Thomas who looked like he was deep into being lectured.

"Guys , Nora is here." Mrs. Buchanan announced walking over to her seat at the table.

Mr. Buchanan pulled his away from Thomas quickly and smiled at me. He stood up quickly and then pointed at my chair.

"Welcome, Nora. Please, have a seat." He said waiting for me.

I walked over and sat down in the chair across from Thomas.

"How are you?" I asked his father as I situated myself.

"I'm good. Thank you for joining us tonight." He responded.

"Welcome back to a dinner in hell." Sarah-J said sarcastically earning a glare from her mom they.

I looked over at Thomas who was looking down intently at his plate.

I nodded my head and smiled a little.

Thomas finally looked up and made eye contact with me. I gave him a smile and earned back a small, and definitely fake one in return.

"So Nora, tell us more about you. I feel like we don't know you that well!" Mrs. Buchanan smiled at me while we were being served our food.

"Well, um," I began.

Come on Aero, think faster.

"I have a brother."

Why it is the first thing I always think of, I have no idea.

"Oh wow! Is he older or younger?" She asked folding her hands together.

"Uh we're twins actually." I said.

I could feel Thomas staring at me without even having to look.

"Really?" Mr. Buchanan said.

"Her father owns a music store." Thomas quickly chimed in.

"That's fun! What's it called?" Mrs. Buchanan asked.

"It's Beats on Bartley...it's here in Toronto." I folder her.

"Wait let's not skip anything," Mr. Buchanan said before clearing his throat. "You have a twin brother?"

I placed my hands underneath my thighs so I didn't fidget. "Yes." I replied.

"Not to come off as invasive or anything, but as president of the university I have access to all student records." He began.

"Dad." Thomas said in a deep tone.

"And naturally, as you're in a relationship with my son I did check up on you and look at your file."

I could feel my heart beating fast. As my palms began to sweat I had to remove them from underneath my legs.

"What I'm getting at is it didn't mention any siblings."

I looked down at my plate while trying not to freak out.
