Taken Under Hemmings' Wing

Chapter IX: A Good Hello to Their Relationship

Violet

As I arrived home, late at night because I just came back from Miranda's house. I just asked her to drop me by the gate.

As the car left, I waved goodbye smiling at her. She's getting good with this driving thing. She used to suck, so bad. Okay, we all hated her driving.

I heard a honk that all the hair on my arms rose. I turned around and saw a car behind me.

Oh, Luke. Ew.

He's wearing his signiture smirk. The smirk that gives me chills. Not in a good way, okay?

"Do you mind moving? You're in the way" He coughed saying that. I rose my eyerbrows. Is he nervous?

"Or you just let me run over you."He laughed, I don't want to be in talking conditions with this freak.

I just stood there crossing my arms against my chest. I'm not moving. Let's see if he's going to run over me.

He got out of the car and done the weirdest thing, yet. He picked me up and swept me off my feet. He threw me in the shotgun seat. I started wiggling off and seating straight.

"If you wanted a ride in, you should have just asked"He teased and asked the guards to open the gate. I didn't talk to him and just stared. I mean it, I'm not talking to him.

I smell-pizza. My eyes widen and turned my head to the backseat. Over 7 boxes are stacked at the backseat. Is this heaven or what? Being rich has advantages.

We drove in their long, long entrance as we arrived at the front of the mansion, I was about to get myself out of the car before I end up choking him.

He stopped me by holding my wrist "I'm waiting for Landon" What's my connection here?

"It means we're eating dinner at the back of the house" I wanted to ask him if it's that far-"It's far, Bledel."

This is weird it's as if I'm really talking to him.

I just let go of his hold and leaned back. The door swung open and out came Landon rushing towards the car and rode behind the back seat.

When we arrived, I immediately got off and took some of the boxes and went straight to some of the picnic tables. They're actually really pretty. There are lights hung around the whole ground. The lights in jars.

I placed the pizza boxes on the picnic table. I sat down and saw the untensils all piled, I arranged them and was ready. Landon sat in front of me.

"Where's aunt Liz?" I asked smiling to Landon.

"She isn't here" Luke answered as he sat beside Landon. I wasn't asking you, dumbass. Sheesh.

It's as if I didn't hear him and looked at Landon raising my left eyebrow.

"Uhm, she isn't here?" Landon asked confused which made me laugh. Luke looked at me, smirking. He knows what I'm doing.

Luke opened the pizza box not leaving his eyes on me. Landon was actually going to make a move and get one slice when I smacked his hand.

"We didn't thank for the meal yet" I said, Landon laughed, so did Luke.

"Thanks for the meal, Luke." Landon said to Luke. I threw the tissue unto Landon.

"I mean pray, crazy." They both nodded and prayed with me.

After killing all the seven boxes, Landon stood up and grab the baseball laying on the ground.

"Wanna play?" Landon asked. Luke stood up and started heading towards Landon, he took the football.

"Landon, you're still full, that's bad."Landon came to me and sat in front of me.
