Under the Moonlight

Chapter 54

We got back at the city. Jack was still in Atalanta and we were talking every day. He was good, he sounded good and I couldn't wait for him to come back.  

"Vanessa chocolate or vanilla?" Maria asked me. We were at the apartment and we were about to eat ice cream. I was watching some show on the TV and she was in the kitchen.
"Both" I said to her and I heard her laughed.
She came in the living room with two plates with ice cream one for me and one for her. She joined me and we continued watching the show while we were eating the tasty ice cream.
In one moment I heard the door opened. I saw Nate and Taylor coming in.
"Well finally. That beer took so long" Maria said and looked at Nate. He went our with some friends in some bar and it took him a long time to get back. And now he brought Taylor with him too.
"I went with the boys after it" he said as he sat next to Maria and kissed her. Taylor sat on the sofa too.
"What are you watching?" He asked
"TV show. You don't watch this" I said and I couldn't believe I said that. It was long from the past and I realized I couldn't never forget the small details about Taylor. Everyone looked at me and they were surprised too.
I saw Taylor chuckled. He was satisfied so much because I said that. I could see that from his face.
"Yeah, you're right" he said and smiled to me. I looked at him but after a few seconds I looked back at the TV.
I ate my ice cream and put the empty plate on the table.
"We are going out tonight. Come with us" Nate said to me in one moment.
"I can't." I said. I didn't want to go out. Nobody couldn't change my mind and Nate knew it so he wasn't pushing me to go with them. I wanted to stay home alone and just chill out alone. I planned to call Jack and talk with him.

"Vanessa, aunt invited us for lunch. Please think about it okay" Nate said and I looked at him.
"We'll go" I said and he looked at me surprised. He wasn't really sure if he heard well. "When?" I asked.
"Today but if you want some other day it's okay" he said.
"Today is good" I said. "I am hungry anyway" I said and everyone laughed.
When it came time for lunch we made our way toward my parent's house.
But we didn't go with Nate's car because the car was already in the house, so Taylor needed to drop up there. When we arrived we saw Philip and dad were outside doing something with Nate's car. I realized it was broken and they needed to fix it. I got out of the car and got closer to them.
"And we are surprised" my dad said as he looked at me with a smile on his face.
"And we are hungry" I said, smiling.
"The lunch is probably ready, you go inside we'll.." my dad started talking but then stopped and he looked away.

"Taylor, come on join us on lunch too" dad said and I looked back at Taylor.

"No it's okay. You are having a family time." Taylor answered and I looked back at my dad and I was about to go inside the house.
"Taylor, don't make me beat you now. Get your ass inside" my dad said and I rolled my eyes.

At the end I heard Taylor agreed. I got in the house and of course mum and aunt were so happy seeing me there. While they were filling the table with food I sat on the sofa and turned on the TV. I heard Maria talking with aunt Jess and after a while she joined me on the sofa.
"Taylor agreed for the lunch, they are now outside repairing Nate's car" she said to me and I looked at her.
"I don't mind and I don't really care" I said to her and heard steps behind me. I turned around and saw Taylor and Nate going toward the dinning table. I knew they heard it and I felt a bit stupid at first but then decided not to care again.
Me and Maria both stood up and sat on the table too. After a while everyone were on the table. It was a real family lunch and before I could've feel nervous and stupid but know I was so focused on the food, so I couldn't stop eating.
"This is amazing mum" I said while I was eating from the pie with cheese. I liked it so much.
"Aren't you afraid of getting fat?" Philip asked me but I knew he's just messing with me.

"I am already fat and I am getting fatter, but I don't mind" I said.
"Before you would've freak out" mum said to me laughing.

"Yeah, but then I wasn't a werewolf and now I know that after the pregnancy I would be normal again." I said and smiled. I was talking so relaxed because I knew they knew everything about me.
"Vanessa if you want you can go and take some book from your room. I brought some new books. I think you'll like it." my dad said to me and I didn't move. I wasn't really ready to go back in my room. I knew that room was all my life and a lot of things happened there.
"Some other time dad" I said seriously. I knew the smile from my face disappeared. Even when I didn't want to admit it, I knew it was painful and it hurt a lot.
