When Worlds Collide

93. Bully

Diana was ready for dinner, she's been hungry every since she got home that evening and she didn't want to draw too much attention to herself by stuffing her face with food before it's time to actually sit down and eat.

"Diana I know you are your dads child, but please slow down before you choke yourself." Val said

Diana slowed down on her food intake and swallowed the stuffed food in her mouth, "Sorry mom." She said sheepishly

"D, you're not supposed to eat like that, you're supposed to leave that up to Zayn." Lilly said looking at Zayn

"I don't eat like that." He said

"Well anyways you shouldn't be stuffing your face like that, did you eat all of your food for lunch?" Val asked and Diana quickly dropped her head and was playing around with her food with her fork

"Yes ma'am." She answered quietly

Val looked at her with a questionable look, "Did you eat all the lasagna I put in your lunch?"

"Yes ma'am."

She nodded her head and continued to eat, "That's funny because I haven't put lasagna in your lunch in a week."

"Diana is there something you want to tell us?" Ryan asked and she looked up from her plate and everyone had their eyes on her

"Can I talk about it later, I'm not ready yet." She said

"Ok, we'll be ready when you are. Oh Jeremiah, when you come in tomorrow from school I have something for you to do." Ryan said

"Agh, again." Jeremiah said

"Yes again, there's some stuff in the backyard that I need you to separate."

"But I can't do that all by myself."

"Ok fine, twins help your brother tomorrow when you get in from school." He shrugged

"What?! Why us?!" Isaiah exclaimed

"Because he can't do it by himself, so go help him."

"But can't Lilly help him instead of us?"

"No because I told you two to do it. So stop arguing because I'm not going to change my mind."

The twins both sighed and glared at Jeremiah, "Thanks a lot." Zayn said while Lilly covered her laugh with her hand

"Today has been a long day." Ryan said as he sat down on the couch next to Val

"Would a massage make it better?" She asked

"Oh yes please, I could use one right now." He scooted his back closer to her and she began to massage his shoulders

"You're really tense." She said as she went deeper in his shoulders

He closed his eyes and leaned his head back, "I can think of a number of ways to get un-tense. One involves me making hot passionate love to a very beautiful woman." He said looking her in the eyes

She smiled, "You are too much, is that all you think about is having sex with me?"

"No, I think of other things. Such as would you look better naked or covered in chocolate." He said and she giggled

"Sex, sex, sex. That's all you think about."

"How can I not think about it, you bring it out of me. So blame yourself for looking so damn fine."

"Oh ok, now it's my fault."

"Yep, but I don't hold it against you." He said and she laughed

Diana finally built up the courage to go discuss what's been happening lately, she didn't want to do it at the table because she didn't want to feel like a loser in front of everyone, so she'd rather do it when no one else is around. "Mom, dad; I'm ready to tell you what's going on." She said going up to them
