"By the way, it's not lasagna." He said sarcastically.
" Oh yeah... cause that would be horrible." I said back.
He had a pouty face.
"I'm just kidding.." I said laughing.
He laughed with me.
Before I knew it, Tyler and max were already digging in.
After acknowledging that, we went to the dinning room.
I was really impressed by the lay out of the table. In the very center of the table was a plate of lasagna and beside it was a big bowl of Italian salad comforted by a plate of garlic bread. The table was long, I counted six chairs.
"Very impressive." I said looking at the table in awe. I don't think I've had a proper dinner like this, not in years at least..
"I know, that's why I'm fantastic."
"What is this called again?" Max said with tomato sauce surrounding his lips.
"Lasagna." James says laughing.
"You have a little bit of.... something." He says gesturing to his lips.
While max and James carry on a conversation, Tyler caught my eye. I caught him looking at me. He smiled and I felt myself blush.
"You're not gonna eat?"
He said from across the table.
"Uh.. yeah." I was so focused on my surroundings that I hadn't severed myself.
"You alright?"he says noticing that i wasn't all there.
"Do we need to check your temperature?" He says laughed.
Maybe..
"No." I was joining laughter.
I was a bit afraid to eat in front of Tyler and James. I mean I don't even eat in front of my foster parents let alone my friends.
It looked so good,
And plus James worked really hard to make sure this dinner was well set up. I don't wanna hurt his feelings or be rude by not eating. I'd be a horrible friend if I did that...
It's time to step out of my comfort zone. I mean it can't be that hard... right?
***(After dinner)
I made it out alive.
I deserve a gold star or some shit.
Max and Tyler ended up going to Rulers room while I stayed in the living room with James watching random stand up comedies on Netflix.
Of course James had popcorn with him because it seemed he was inseparable with buttered popcorn.
I seen him look at me at the corner of my eye. We both met eyes.
"Do you even like stand up comedy?"
"Yeah it's funny."I smiled
"Then why aren't you laughing?"
" I am.. on the inside."
He set his popcorn down.
"So you like vampires?"
"It's Ok. You don't have-"
"Me too. Have you heard of Vampires Suck ?"
"Really, you don't have to chan-" I said smiling.
"It's really funny, I hear." He smiles back.
"Jam-" I said laughing.
" Vampires Suck it is then.." he says with a smurk.
This boy... I swear.
