My mom had taken her time to introduce him to everyone, yet forgetting to ever mention his name. It was odd ,she knew it would be, but the suspense it added seemed to really make her happy.
She kept smiling and chatting about, always finding a way to include him in every conversation. Especially mine. She'd constantly interrupt every conversation I was having. Regardless of who I was talking to.
When dinner time rolled around she made sure to seat him beside me. I found it odd, I didn't know this man yet alone like him and I had to sit with him for dinner. Normally at family dinners I would sit between my dad and Milani and now I have to sit between him and Milani.
Talking about him would be difficult,there was no way I could gossip about him if he was sitting right beside me. I don't talk that softly.
My plate of honey garlic salmon with mashed potatoes stayed infront of me untouched. It was tempting to eat it but I was scared, so I just ate the small bowl of salad we received with it. " No matter how little you eat you'll still be fat. You'll still forever be a pig".
She's at it again, honestly I thought she'd stopped but I was wrong. Tears welled in my eyes but I fought the urges to let them fall. I don't want her to think she has more power over me than she already does.
Everytime I'm nervous my right leg bounces involuntarily. I felt a hand on my leg and for a second I thought it was Milani's but it wasn't it was his. Looking over at him, he gave me a small reassuring smile. He was trying to calm me down,he was being nice.
I don't know if it was wrong to accept such kindness but it felt right, the touch of his skin on mine made me feel better. I looked at him blankly not knowing what to think of the situation. It was inappropriate after all. He's atleast 26.
Even when my leg stopped shaking his hand remained there, I was thankful. Some part of me was beginning to forgive him for what he had done to me at the cafe. Don't think I don't still hate him,because I do.
Felling someone nudge me in my left side I looked over at Milani. She leaned over to me and whispered " You do realise his hand is on your leg right? I would tell you it's inappropriate but,take all the chances you can get I guess. He's him and your basically eighteen. It's bad but it's not that bad".
If anyone heard her they'd think she's a bad influence but,we're young and we'll like older men. Plus I know her well enough to know that she'll tell me I shouldn't involve myself with a man that much older than me. Not that I am. He was just helping me out. Nothing sexual in that.
" Get you mind out the gutter,he was just helping me." I tried being quiet but for some reason I think he heard me because when I turned to take a quick glance at him he had a small smile on his face.
" Yeah,with his on your leg? I beg to differ " I swatted her leg playfully while softly laughing at her words. I know that she's right. Something might end up happening between us and it won't be ethical or innocent.
