The Unexpected Love

Chapter 2

CHAPTER 2

I lay myself down on the softest thing that had ever made. I gave two thumbs up to whoever had invented the bed. Well, ever since that Eric thing happened, I keep thinking about him. God. Get a grip Jane. He had embarrassed you in the canteen remember? Yes, I knew but those sparkly blue eyes.. oh my god I should stop. This was not right at all. I must had infected by Eric's virus. Why he had a same class with me and sat next to me?? I totally need to sit away from him as far as possible when tomorrow comes.

"Jane.. dinner's ready," my thoughts soon faded away as mom called me from downstair. I got up and make my hair into a bun then went straight to the kitchen. My father had already prepared to eat dinner while mom still preparing some dessert I guessed. Mom's cook always delicious and I kind of inherited that abilities but I'm a lazy person so I only cook if I'm hungry.

"so.. how's the school kid?" my father asked me after clearing his throat while reading this morning newspaper I think. He looked at me waiting for me to speak up.

"the school is great!" I lied, didnt bother to tell him the truth since it was not really a big deal. I can handle it myself.

"that is good," mom said putting a bowl of soup on the table.

"kid we need to talk about something," my father said with a smile on his face.

"hmm.. okay. What is it dad?" this is the time where I really felt suspicious about my parents.

"we are wondering if we can get you a car but since you are not yet capable to drive, we had searched a driver service that can pick you up to school," mom said it casually.

"oh yeah and he is suppose to come any minute now to join us for dinner," she added. Okay lets see who the guy might be since mom said the driver was 'he'. I just hope he was a nice guy.

The doorbell rang after that. Mom asked me to open the door for whoever the guy might be. My eyes was bulged ultimately in shock when I recognized who the driver was going to be. Eric the Stupid. He was surprised too by the look on his face but he smiled afterwards. He smiled. Wait.. he smiled? okay that was creepy.. or I think this was not Eric maybe he was his twin. Okay that was possible.

"hi Shooby Doo Bap," oh my god. He knew that? oh he was definitely Eric the Stupid.

"Jane darling, why dont you invite him in?" mom came out from no where with a wide smile on her face and also her wide eyes glaring at me of course. I looked up at Eric and found he was smirking at me. My pride once again was hurting.

We all sat on the seat, enjoying the dinner except me. While Eric the Stupid keep staring at me with those smirk. I woud really appreciate it if someone gave me an anti-smirk wipe cloth now.

Dad cleared his throat made Eric startled. I hold myself from laughing at his expression.

"so Eric right?" dad asked him with a confident tone as always.

"yes, that is my name"

"right. So when you can start working?"

"I can start by tomorrow sir"

Sir? Is he trying to get my dad attention? I aint going to let him. Dad looked like trying to Compressed his laughter. I knew it. He got my dad's attention. This was so not good.

"Well okay then, you can start tomorrow"

"wait.. Whos car are we going to use?"I asked. I'd never want to ride his car with him, I would rather walk.

"Eric's of course. You dont mind that right Eric?" mom added.

"sure, of course"

I scoffed a bit making it louder for Eric to hear but low enough for my parents who are now discussing about my dad's new working environment. Eric who was sitting next to me moved closer to my face. I felt my face redden as his warm breath tickling my skin.

"This is going to be fun" I narrowed my eyes at him and kicked his leg. I bit my lower lip making an innocent face as my parents were looking at now irritated Eric that was holding his pain.

"okay then I'm going to my room" I picked my plate and put it in the sink.

I heard Eric excusing himself to the bathroom. Since the bathroom near the living room was in reconstruction, mom asked me to show the bathroom on the upstairs.

Eric was following me from the back while I lead him to the bathroom. I caught off guard when I accidentally tripped the folded carpet and fell on my butt. Eric looked at me and laughed. I glare at him but I raise my eyebrow when he gave me his hand. I wont take his hand. It must be a trick of him.

"what? I'm helping you"

"yeah, nice try"

I stood up, brushing my clothes from invisible dirt.

"the loo is there," pointing my finger towards the bathroom door. I walked passed him and went to my room. As I turned the doorknob Eric called me. Surprisingly.

"hey Jane,"

"huh?"

"see you tomorrow babe,"

With that he went in the loo, smirking. I felt my heart skipped a beat as he called me babe. What did he just called me!? I quickly closed the door and support myself onto it. It was annoying the way he called me but I sort of liked it. No. What is happening to me? This is so wrong. I shouldnt. No.

I heard a soft knock on the door and my heart was racing.

"Hey Jane?" I didnt answer him and there was a silence for seconds.

"goodnight,"

He said goodnight to me? Was that really Eric at the cafeteria? or someone must had brainwashed him. Wait.. maybe he had a motive behind this.

A car exhaust was heard booming from the outside. I went to the nearest window and found a smirking Eric sticking his head outside his car window. He waved at me but I raised my eyebrow instead. He responded me with a pout but then he smiled and waved again. With that he raced off from my front house, I mean my parents house. As his car leaving, I just realized it was a shiny sport black car. Holy mama. That was definitely what I called a baby.
