Secret between us

Dreaming about your green eyes

ALEX POV:

I'm ready for the dinner with the Mantlers.

I have a black dress on and black converse, so I guess I won't feel judged by my mom with this.

I look at my self in the mirror admiring my make up...

This isn't who I am.

I don't relate to what I see at all...but If I tried to be myself, I'd be out of this house, or something.

I don't know what my mom would say.

I do downstairs and see my dad waiting for me at the door.

-"Are you ready sweetie?" - He asks.

I nod in responde and take a look at my mom.

She's sitting on the couch, wearing a red casual dress, red high-heels and a ponytail.

-"How the fuck do you manage to wear a dress and still look masculine?" - She asks as if it was something wrong.

-"I don't look masculine." -I say back to her, sick of her little comments.

-"You look ugly, Alex. You make me sick..." - She says in disgust and goes outside, leaving me with my mouth full open.

-"Forgive her." - My dad says and follows her.

Damn...really?

Nobody seems to understand that she's the one who needs to notice how wrong she is. 

I can't.

I go outside and shut the door behind me as we start walking towards our neighbor's house.

-"Sasha!!!" - A lady that I suppose is Lisa's mom greets my mom.

-"Lily!!!" - My mom says back and they hug.

What the fuck, they just met. 

I missed a whole season here.

-"This is Alejandro, my husband" - She says as she introduces him and he hugs her too.

-"Me and Lily have been chatting while you're at work, she's the kindest" - My mom says smiling as if she wasn't the devil.

-"Oh...du bist so süß"- She responds, smiling back and looking at me now.

-"This is  Alexa"- My mom says, still with her fake ass personality. -" My daughter".

-"Oh." - she says and runs her eyes through my entire outfit. -"Cute." - She continues saying. 

I don't hug her, I only smile at her and say:

- "Freut mich, Sie kennenzulernen".

 She smiles back and says:

-"Come in!!!".

And we do.

Damn...This house is beautiful.

The decoration is insane.

All white and pure, it has a medieval vibe out of it, besides it's huge.

-"Who decorated this?" - I say, amazed.

-"My daughters, Lisa and Tayra" - She responds, proud of her kids.

"Oh, So you have two daughters." - I point out.

-"Um well, I got four." - She says. -"Let me show you around." - She continues and we follow her.

-"Hi".- A female voice says, and  touches my shoulder.

-"Lisa, hi." - I say with a smile.

I remember her being very friendly to me when we arrived here.

-"You remember my name huh?" - She says and continues. "How have you been Alex?".
