My Hunter Boys

Chapter 2: Meet the family.

Chapter 2: Meet the family. (Unedited)

It's been two weeks since my father's death and four days after his funeral. I've packed my bags waiting for Dr. Hunter to pick me up in my house. I'm not ready to go yet. I'm sitting on the couch thinking about his sudden death. How? He's the only one I got and now he's gone. Only Dr. Hunter knows, Dr. Hunter and my dad are close friends, my dad is like a uncle to him. He goes to our house for Christmas Eve Dinner every other year after my mom died. I have to ask him.  

Just then I heard a car engine stopped outside my house.  

Thats probably Dr. Hunter he came in and took my luggages to his car.  

'I'll meet you outside.' He hugged me and gave me a sad smile.  

'Ok' I almost whispered, audible. 

I stood up from the couch and took one last glance at the house, living room to be exact. I didn't bother going up my room anymore. I took down all the frames and pictures from my wall and packed everything. I didnt leave anything  

I sighed. So this is it now, I thought. Going to live a new lifestyle with different people.

I walked out of the house, locked the door shut. I'm going to move back here when I'm in university. I'm gonna miss this neigborhood. I got into the passenger seat next to Dr. Hunter and slammed the car door shut after me. 

'Ready to go?' Dr. Hunter looked at me through the rear mirror. 

'Yea' I said hesitantly leaning on my seat. 

'Ok, as you say so. Buckle your seat belt please' he ordered. 

I didn't reply, but I did what he told me to anyway.

Looking at the view outside while Dr. Hunter is driving. I plugged my earphones in full volume. While I listen, I feel a tap on my shoulder. I removed one of the earphones. 

Dr. Hunter furrowed his brows. 'Lower the volume, you will damage your hearing' 

'Oh, Sorry Dr Hunter.' apologized and set the volume lower.  

'Alex.'  

'Yes?' I said looking up at him from my phone. 

'You know you can call me by my name.' He frowned slightly. 

'Sorry-' I stopped. Whats his name?  

'David.' He smiled. 

'Opps, sorry Uncle David.'  

'David is just fine, you probably got used to calling me Dr. Hunter and forgot my given name.'  

'Yea.'

*****

It's been about an hour, and he is still driving. I thought he lives about one town over. 

'Uncle David? I thought you live about a town over?' 

'Oh, I forgot to tell you. I got two homes. One here in San Diego, and One in Los Angeles.' 

'What? Really? I didn't know that.' I said frowning. 

'Wait, I think I told you and your dad that, last Christmas. We were talking about that over dinner. Your dad asked me how was My home in Los Angeles. You probably wasn't listening.'  

'Hah.' I laughed in embarrassment. 'Sorry.' I said guilty. 

'It doesn't matter, So as I was saying. I stay mostly in San Diego for work. But my real home is in Los Angeles, the rest of the family lives there.'
