Dangerous Lovers (BeckFreen)

5- The Dinner (2)

We all head inside the mansion, but seeing Rebecca's face has already filled me with fury even though she's just arrived.

Everyone makes it into the massive living room. Two black long leather sofas, a massive flat screen, a black coffee table in between the tv and sofas and finally, a wall which is just all windows behind the tv to get a great view of our front yard. Modern but cozy.

All the Armstrongs just stand there. I can tell they ain't comfortable. Not my problem though. I sit on the couch first, slouching on it before turning on the television.

"Please, all of you make yourself comfortable until dinner is done." I hear my dad explain with fake happiness. I can tell he's just as disgusted as I am so I don't know why he invited them. Mr Armstrong, Mrs Armstrong and Richie sits onto the other black leather sofa. At least I have one all to myself thankfully. "Rebecca don't you want to sit down?" My father asks softly. I turn my head to see Rebecca still standing with her hands in her pockets looking irritated as fuck.

How immature.

She gives him a fake smile. "Rather not." She insists, leaning her back against a wall and going on her phone which makes my dad laugh awkwardly.

After awkward small talks from my mother and Mrs Armstrong, the maid enters the room. "Jom, dinner is ready." She says happily and my dad smiles back and nods before standing up.

"You all will love today's dish." He exclaims with 'excitement' before getting the Armstrongs to follow him. I get up off the couch and I follow also behind.

..

We all enter the dining room and it looks like a full on feast. It's laid out like something you'd see in a movie or something. I honestly didn't know my dad wanted to do all this. We all sit down. I sit in my regular seat and unfortunately of course Rebecca has to sit opposite me.

"Dig in everyone!" My father takes spoonfuls of rice, plating it into his plate and digging into the food. I do the same. However, the Armstrongs look at each other reluctantly which I soon notice Rebecca get pissed off by her family's behaviour.

She's the first one out of them to take a spoonful of rice and some chicken. My dad smiles happily about that. I continue watching her as she starts to eat. Her parents are also surprised. I guess she just wants to hurry up and eat so she can leave. And honestly I don't blame her. This whole dinner situation is stupid.

I continue eating as quick as I can, my cheeks getting stuffed full of their food like I'm an animal who's been starved. I just want to leave the place and wait in the car until the rest of my family is done.
