Playing for Keeps[Kingx#1] [COMPLETED]

Chapter42

An- From the comments, seems like some of you don't know what 'Cheezus' is. It's a replacement for Jesus. Not because I don't know how to spell JesusXD

I thought that you guys would have heard this word by now! So, if you haven't note that it is used as slang and it had nothing to do with the fact that English is not my first language. Please don't let your mind go there when you see obvious mistakes. I'm not that blind about the languageXD

Ellie yawned as she woke up, she looked beside her to see Archer gone too. Wait, why was she here? She was pretty sure she fell asleep inside the theatre. Then, she remembers that Archer carried her home. Why oh why had she let him. She was pretty sure she asked him to put her down?

Then, she remembered that she did not. In fact, she snuggled closed and asked him to take her home, Cheezus! How will she see him now?

She went down to the kitchen ti see that her parents were already awake, her dad drinking coffee while her mom makes something to eat.

"Morning" she says. Her mom greets back while her dad didn't look so happy.

"What's wrong daddy?" she asked.

"Nothing. Just enjoying my coffee. Do you want one too? Just grab the cup by yourself or you need help 'carrying'!" her dad sputters making her raised her brow while her mom laughs.

"You're dad's trying to get over the fact that Archer was bringing him home last night which was sweet of him" Ellie blushed. That was why she thought she heard the sound of the parents' voice in her sleep.

"Sweet?" He scowled "Not sweet. He carried her! I know exactly what he was thinking. I was once his age too!"

"Again, darling. It was sweet" Julie smiled.

"Mom. Please let's not talk about this" it's too awkward.

They stopped talking about that but her dad's mood didn't improve.

"Oh, honey. We have great news" Julie smiled widely

"What news?"

"The frost invited us over to dinner this weekend"

Ellie's jaws dropped and was speechless for a moment, " Mom, you mean The Frost as in Frost Corporation?"

"Yup" It was like a great honor to be invited by one of the most powerful family in the country. But, that means she will be seeing Lucy Frost. Archer's... whatever-she-is-to-him.

"Why?"

"I'm not sure either honey"

"UMM..GUYS? Why was Archer taking me home last night?"

The girls grinned, "He's soo sweet" Tori gushed, "And protective"

"Are you avoiding my question?"

"Well, your phone was ringing" Amy said, "You fell asleep. So we picked it up for you. Archer was asking if you were okay. We told him that you were dozing off then he decided that he'd come and get you" Ellie blinked. She was surprised. Archer didn't say much as she was half-asleep when he lay her on her bed.

"We didn't get at first why he insisted on coming you know?" Tori says, "But, when we tried waking you up. He won't let us. That's when we get why he insisted on it. It was like the field trip all over again. Though he's scary, he can be pretty sweet!"
