Unideal Romance

Chapter Five.

"I'll get the door"  Rissa said as she got up from the couch to go open the door while her mom was as usual in the kitchen.

She swung the door open with a smile and it disappeared once she saw who was at the door, her whole mood changed, she walked away from the door leaving it open.

"Who's there?" Rose asked but she only walked away up to the stairs.

"Hi" Steve walked in with a brief smile, he shut the door behind him.

"Oh-hi" She smiled back. "I'm sorry about that" She really meant it, he didn't deserve the treatment she was giving him.

"Oh, it's fine" He walked over to her. "What are you making?" He glanced over.

"Chilli" She replied.

"And you make the best" He said back.

"How's Sonia and the boys?" Steve had twin boys with his new wife after he left Rose.

"We are all good, Rose" He assured her.

"Will you stay long enough to have some chili and maybe take to the family?" She implored.

"I won't miss it for anything " He said and leaned by the counter.

Rissa stomped down the stairs all dressed up.
"I'll see you later, mom" She grabbed her car keys off the counter and went away with a big slam behind her.

Rose sighed. "At least, she took after your stubbornness "

Steve smiled. "That's true"

  Rissa wasn't exactly sure where she should probably head to right now, Lola's would have been great but she was at work, Lawrence's would have come in as a great place too but they had dinner to prepare for tonight, so it won't make so much sense but then Luke, won't it be too uncomfortable for him.

They had also shared a kiss last night during her drunk state, it might not be that bad, he had actually called her this morning to ask if she was getting over her hangover well and talked casually without saying a single thing about the kiss, well, that's where she was turning to right now with her dad being there, it suddenly became suffocating for her and uncomfortable too, it was best to leave.

Luke hurriedly threw a shirt over his head and went to get the door, he didn't think he was expecting anyone but you never can tell.

He pulled the door. "Marissa?" He called with surprise.

"Hey" She gave a nervous smile. "Can I come in?"

"Uhm--sure" He let her in.

"Have I just disturbed you or something?" She hoped she didn't.

"Not really, I was just in my room reading the bible" He said honestly. "Please sit" He offered and they both sat.

"Is everything alright?" He asked.

"My dad is at our place and I couldn't just bear it, I needed to be somewhere else, I'm sorry" She explained.

He smiled, "it's okay and you are welcome here anytime"

"Thanks"

"Can I get you anything?"

"Hmmm" She sighed. "We were about to have chili until he came, I haven't had lunch" She admitted.

"You took the race" He got up chuckling. "Let me see what I can offer" He walked to his kitchen.

She watched him, he was really looking nice in the random clothes , well, he was putting on shorts and a gray faded shirt, he hadn't brushed his hair which was all scattered but it added to his details, she wasn't sure why he had kissed her back that night, was he drunk too. No way, she was sure that he was not a bit drunk, he wasn't saying anything about it which was torturing too.
