Chase, My Step Brother

Chapter Twenty One - Chainsaw Nightmares

Despite the fact of what happened at the batch with Chase we managed to remain civil, I glanced around the table to my Dad, Llyod and Elizabeth and last but not least Chase who was seated across from me. It had been a while since we had all sat down like a family and enjoyed a family dinner together. I was shocked when Chase turned down hanging with Kelly to have dinner with us but inside I was jumping for joy. Every time we caught eye contact a small blush crept over my face and my eyes would advert to my meal.

"What's going on?" My Dad suspiciously spoke turning the entire tables attention to him.

"Agreed this is very rare to say the least that were all here but hey I'm not complaining" Elizabeth laughed sipping her wine.

"I just want a quiet night" Chase simply spoke which made me frown lightly. He told me he had plans tonight hence why he wasn't coming to scream fest with me Blake and Jules.

"You need it with your leg so I approve" Elizabeth beamed softly at him. He just stared down playing with his food.

"So what time are your friends picking you up?" My Dad asked turning their attention to me.

"Soon actually" I smiled lightly following Chases suit and stabbing my fork in my food playfully.

"I remember when me and your mom used to attend that festival" he chucked.

"Boy was it pretty entertaining"'I noticed Elizabeth stifled in her seat catching his attention before he wiped the smile off his face. I had no idea my parents went to such a thing Mom never mention it, well she never talked about him.

"So your not going?" He then turned to Chase.

"Not really my thing" he mumbled.

"Well if you will excuse me I need to go grab some warmer clothes. Thanks a lot for dinner" with that I excused myself taking my plate and popping it into the sink. I headed up the stairs to my room and started rummaging through my closet looking for a jacket.

"So did Liam ever get back to Julie" a voice startled me making me jump, Jesus if I'm already jumping by a simple conversation I am not going to survive tonight. Last year I had to be escorted out and they year before that because I started crying like a baby. I scrunched my face at the thought.

"What do you mean?" I turned my attention back to my closet.

"About Carter" he tried to play cool but was obvious he was failing.

"Carter? I thought you said you were going to drop all conversation about Carter?" He was once again going on about him it was infuriating.

"I know but I just wanted to know" I sighed.

"Julie never texted Liam asking she was just trying to wind you up and obviously it worked. Why do you care anyway it's not like your coming" we heard the front door open I glanced at my clock sighing because they were early and I wasn't ready. There was talking happening downstairs but neither of us paid attention. I found my jacket and slipped it on rushing to the mirror to fix my face. Chase remained at my door leaning on it watching me intently.

"I don't even get why you want to go anyway. It sounds completely lame" he spoke bordly.

"What? You rather me stay here and be bored cooped up in my room?" I teased grabbing a hair tie and pulling my hair into a neat but messy pony tail.

"Well we could be bored together" he flirtaciously suggested making me frown.

"There you go flirting again we can't do this" I pouted his smirking smile faded instantly.
