Jumping to Confusions

Chapter Two ~ That's not classified as flirting

Previous chapter:

"Tessa, is that you?" Mum asked. Tessa and I looked at each other and we knew exactly what the other was thinking. You know the moment where twins know what the other is thinks. Well, yeah it was that kind of moment. We both ran to the front door.

I reached for the doorknob and pulled the door open for Tessa before coming face to face with a family of three. A man, a woman and an extremely hot guy standing there in front of us.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tessa and I just stood there, both of us secretly hoping they weren't actually there. The man, who is probably the new chief executive, Mr. Hunter cleared his throat and looked at us.

"Oh, Hey. You must be Mr.Hunter. Come in," I greeted him with a smile. I moved out of the doorway, making way for the 'guests'.

"Hello," Mr. Hunter said while holding out his hand to shake. After shaking hands he went through the open door. Mrs.Hunter, who looked like a very nice sort of woman also said hello and went inside.

Meanwhile, Tessa was just staring at the guy in front of her. Well, so much for a stupid geek. The guy looked like a model sculptured by god. But when Tessa has got her eye on a guy, she gets him.

I left them alone while they started a conversation. I went inside after the two adults and took them into our lounge room.

"Just wait a second while I call my parents," I told them while they sat on the sofas. They nodded simply before I went into the kitchen.

"Mum, Dad the guests are here," I said. Mum gave me a horrified look obviously knowing that they would come sooner or later before quickly taking off her apron and fixing her hair.

"Darling, you look fine," dad said to my mum.

"Thank you, sweetheart," mum replied as they got closer. I cleared my throat loud enough for them to hear. I hated the awkward moment when your parents are having a culddly-wuddly moment and your just standing there waiting for them to finish.

"Sorry for breaking this very nice moment but there are some people waiting for you guys in the lounge room, if you haven't noticed," I said.

"Oh right," dad said as they headed to the lounge room. I stayed in the kitchen and watched mum and dad go into the lounge room. I heard them exchange greetings with Mr and Mrs Hunter and engage in a deep conversation. I decided to get them some drinks. After filling up three glasses of water and putting them on a tray, I went into the lounge room. I saw Mr and Mrs Hunter sitting on one sofa. Mrs. Hunter was talking to mum and Mr. Hunter was deep in conversation with dad probably about business and work. I was also surprised to see that Tessa and the American were also sitting there.

I went to Mrs. Hunter first and gave her the glass.

"Thank you darling," she said with a smile.

"You're welcome," I replied. I went over to Mr. Hunter and gave him his glass. He muttered a thanks before going back to his 'talk' with dad. I turned to the walking piece of heaven sitting next to Tessa. Normally, the guys sitting next to Tessa would be beaming but he looked ready to jump out the nearest window. I walked towards them and to give him his drink.

"Hey, I'm Josh," he said. I took the glass off the tray to give to him. Being the klutz I am, tripped on my own feet and spilt the liquid all over his shirt.
