We were sitting in Luxe's room. It used to be a guest room and where I crashed most of the times.
But it's completely transformed now.
"What do you wanna watch?" He asked.
"You choose, I'm gonna look around a bit." I said distracted.
We sat down on his bed, to watch the movie he chose.
"Deadpool!" I exclaimed. "Good choice." I nudged him.
Halfway through the movie I was bored. Don't get me wrong, it was a great movie, but I was bored.
I put a handful for sour patch candies into my mouth and sprawled on the bed.
Luxe raised an eyebrow at me.
"I'm bored." I confessed.
"Is that so, should I change it to something else?" He asked and I shook my head in denial.
"Then what do you wanna do?" He asked.
"Let's just stay like this. Tomorrow would be a busy day again." I huffed.
"You really like stealing others people's clothes don't you?" He asked.
"Your fault, your clothes are so comfy." I said and he laughed.
Right now I was wearing one of Luxe's shirts, and my shorts. It was huge on me. I knew Luxe was a big guy, but wearing his clothes made me feel tiny.
"You're too big." I whined. I could get lost in one of his oversized clothes. This was one of his skin tight t-shirt.
"I feel small, and I'm not small my any chance." I whined.
"Wanna try my oversized hoodie?" He asked me with a smirk and I puffed my cheeks in displeasure.
"So cute." He said wya smile.
"I'm not cute.' I retorted.
"Well you're cute to me." He said.
"My looks are supposed to be intimidating." I whined.
Why am I being so bratty and emotional today? It's annoying.
"Sure thing, but not to me, you're almost six foot tall, sure. But I am almost seven foot tall, you know. You ain't intimidating me for sure." He said and I huffed.
He kept on teasing me until I lost it and I tried it tickle him.
"You don't get tickles. How am I supposed to get my revenge now?"
Luxe raised a brow at me. "So you're ticklish?" He asked.
"Well, everyone is. I'm sure I'll find your tickle spot someday."
"Good luck with that." He said.
"You know, we've been friends for long but I don't know much about you." He said and I froze.
"I mean, me neither." I said.
Liar!
"Are you kidding me. You know me better than I know myself. I'm sure Alex helped you with that." He grumbled and I chuckled.
It was true, I knew almost everything about him. His past was particularly interesting.
"Well, for the record, I am a boring soul." I said.
"Well, I'd still like to know more about you." He said.
"Well, I am twenty eight," i started
"I know." He interrupted and I glared at him.
"Please continue." He smiled.
"I have two siblings, one is my twin sister and other is Gio, I'm sure you know who he is." I said.
"My childhood was pretty bland. I was the shadow of my brilliant prodigy sister and Gio was a boy, naturally getting affected from my parents, he used to play brutal pranks on me and I hated him for that. But I didn't know he was suffering too. Our dad was abusive by nature, and my parents hated me. Dad never missed out on a chance to hit me. Adele took full advantage of that. I was timid back then and carved for my parents affection so I didn't retaliate. The only thing I ever did when I was too overwhelmed was punch my bedroom walls. No matter what I did I was never enough for my parents. Adele hated me but also used me to improvise her image as the innocent pure damsel and me the villainess elder sister. That's why I didn't have any friends throughout my life. Adele was beautiful and petite with all the curves while I was dull, tall and ugly.
After sometime, years actually, I realised that no matter what I did, I'd still be a wall flower in this household, so the day I turned eighteen I ran away from home. I used up all of my savings in my plane tickets, so by the time I reached LA I was broke.
I worked on odd jobs until I had enough money to open my pub. I met Lina and Flare while working in s strip club and Alex helped me to open the pub. I won't be here if I hadn't met them . So I'm really grateful to them."
I had left out a lot of details, like my crush on Matthew and about my relationship with Nana, but I still told him too much.
"I can't imagine a life like that, you're really strong Bella." He said after a long pause.
"Thanks." I said with a smile.
"Well, I'm happy now with great friends and family, so that's all that matters." I smiled a content smile.
"My mom would love to pamper you." He said.
"Where did that come from?" I giggle.
"Maybe because she's coming over for a week, next month?" He said.
"So, I finally get to meet you mom?" I asked.
"Well, yea." He said.
"Great, I've heard so much about her, so I'm really curious." I said.
We kept on talking about various things, getting to know each other even more.
At some point I fell asleep, only to find wake up in Luxe's arm, the next morning.
