Tiffany's POV
I decided to step in and try stop this before it got to nasty "Jo" I whispered and her eyes darted to me and I looked right into her eyes "What you're trying to tell Dad is that...learning to skate is just a hobby which won't affect your studies and Gabe has been nice enough to show you around?" she watches me for a moment before she soften up and says
"Yes, Daddy that's what I meant" she looks at our father who just closes his eyes
"Thank you girls, now can we please eat?" Jo sits back down and everyone eats.
I can't look at Drake he must think our family are insane? We finish and Mum takes the dirty dishes to the kitchen. Drake tries to help but my mother just laughed at him and told him to stop being so silly. What I hate most about my parents is they try so hard to empress company as they always need to look good but really there's no need because we aren't all that bad but now that we've moved things have been a little weird but I'm thinking it's all just because we're all stressed and still trying to adapt.
I hobble to the front door as Drake says he needs to go home to get ready for school tomorrow "Sorry about my Dad" I say ashamed at the performance he displayed at dinner tonight, Drake laughed
"Tiffany, you see what my Dad's like nothing like yours I promise" we laugh together but I still can't but feel embarrassed about what he did and how it all went down and poor Jo was humiliated.
She went straight to bed once the table was cleared. I knew I'd have to go speak to her after Drake left. I sigh and Drake looks at me "So I'll pick you up in the morning before school?" he asks and I smile
"I'd like that, plus it's my first day. I'll need some moral support" he laughs and snakes his arm around my waist and pulls me close to him.
I feel his hot breath on my neck as he stands behind me "Tiffany" he whispers and I shiver knowing he's right there
"Hey" I whisper back.
I feel his lips gently touch my skin leaving goose bumps travelling all over my body. He gently turns me around being careful of my broken ankle and he wraps his arms protectively around me "I'm glad you said yes, you know" I look up into his eyes and smile
"So am I" with that he places his lips softly to mine and they moulded together
"It's getting late. I'll pick you up in the morning?"
"Kay, night" I say softly, still trying to catch my breath.
He smiles and walks away "Night" I smile back as he gives me a wave from inside his car, which he starts the engine and slowly drives away.
I watch as the tail light disappear before I start to turn to go inside. I reach for the door handle when I hear "Tiffany!" I freeze for a moment before looking up and seeing a tall dark figure walk towards me.
I grip the door handle tightly before I see who's walking towards me from the street lights and I see Rusty's face.
"Oh hey Rusty. Shit you almost gave me a heart attack!" he laughs
"Why because I called out your name in the dark?"
"Yeah, something like that" he slides his hands into his pockets and stands there awkward like
"So, how you feeling?" I smile knowing he's concerned
"I'm good. A little sore but good...hey look I just wanted to thank you for staying with me last night. I don't know what it was but I just felt like I needed someone there with me?" he grins
"Yeah I got it. You couldn't bare being alone when you knew the sexiest guy lived across the road from you so you use that excuse to get him to stay over?" I laughed with playfully slapping his arm
"Rusty! Seriously it was nice of you so thank you" he smiles
"Just don't tell anyone okay? I have a rep to protect" we both laugh at his lame joke.
We stood outside talking for a while until I yawned and he decided to go. I felt a little heartbroken that he had to leave, we were getting alone so well and he always seemed to make me laugh. Which I liked – a lot. "Night Tiffany, see you at school tomorrow?"
"Night Rusty. I'll be there. You know the new girl with the crutches! You won't miss me I promise" he laughed and gave me a wave before running home.
I sighed, I have 2 hot sexy guys both wanting my attention and it's hard not to want to be with both but I'd made a commitment to Drake so Rusty would just have to stand aside and let us stay friends.
