The Bad Boy Needs Help

Dinner Actually Isn't Awkward [7]

Lexi P.O.V

Chapter 7

It's been hours since we started studying and I'm starving, though I don't tell Reece anything. He has been doing good and actually hasn't bothered me at all, I know it's weird but it's the truth, my friends!

A knock on the door interrupts my thoughts and Reece stands up to open it.

"Yes?" He asks.

"Dinner is ready!" Clara says.

"Okay." Reece answers and looks at me.

"I think I'm going to go..." I mumble and laugh nervously.

"You can stay if you want, for dinner I mean."

"Are you sure?" I ask.

"Yea." Reece answers.

"That would be lovely. Thank you." I say and he nods.

"Let's go." he guides me through the stairs and into the dining room.

It's beautiful. There is a long wood table with some fancy chairs in it, in the middle there are some white and purple flowers that match with the room. The plates and utensils are already in the table.

I blink a couple of times.

Am I dreaming?

First, I'm in Reece's house.

Second, I'm staying for dinner at his house.

Third, I actually had a conversation with THE Bad boy.

Don't forget that I got in a motorcycle, I had million of eyes staring me and a rumor is spreading arround; all in in less than a week.

"You must be Lexi!" I hear a woman behind me say.

"Yes Miss, that is me" I respond and turn around.

"Dont call me Miss, Dear, call me Any."

I nod and look at Reece, who was looking at us.

"Sit where ever you want, sweetie. I'm going to call May for dinner." Any says and I sit next to Reece.

I realize that Any is Reece's mother and find that they are pretty similar. Those eyes and face that they share...

I hear steps and see May smiling and facing my direction, I smile back. How can they be sibilings?! She so nice and innocent and he... Well, he is the bad boy. The only thing in common is that they are both incredibly beautiful.

Everyone is already sitting in the table and Clara is bringing the food.

We start eating and I think about dad and Zach, I didn't tell them I was staying!

"Umm... I should call my dad and tell him that I'm staying for dinner." I say

"Of course, sweetie!" Reece's mom answers and I stand up; leaving the dining room.

"Hi, dad." I greet over the phone.

"Hi, Lexi."

"I called you to tell you I'm staying at Reece's for dinner today."

"Okay." he responds.

"There is dinner to make in the fridge." I tell him.

"Okay Lexi, love you."

"Love you too, dad."

I hang up and head to the table.

I sit and continue eating, everyone in silence. But not an awkward silence, a comfortable one.

One that I hadn't had for a long time.
