When We're Alone

Chapter 15

*Hayden*

After almost half an hour of sitting in my room and having time to calm down after being interrogated by Alex, Emily calls us to go down and eat. Me and Leroy went into our separate rooms without saying much to each other. We were both too annoyed to talk.

I get out my room, after Emily called us the third time. As I walk out I bump into Leroy. "Hey." I say with a small smile, walking beside him.

"Hey." He returns the smile. I could see that he changed his clothes, he was no longer wearing a shirt but a white t shirt, which he looked great in. His bulky arms where enough to make a girl faint.

I wrap my fingers around his biceps, and release them slowly. "You alright?" I say whilst walking beside him.

"Never been better, baby." Leroy replies with a smirk, grabbing my hand and pulling me in to him. "You smell so good." He says resting his face in my shoulders.

I start laughing, and pull away from him so I can see the stairs I'm stepping on. "That's because I smell of you." I say with a grin. He returns me the grin.

"Stop flirting with me." Leroy bounces his eye brows.

"Shut up." I push him out of the way and laugh.

As soon as me and Leroy go down to then ground floor, we immediately stop messing around and we create distance between us.

"Hey." Matty says coming besides me. I turn around and face him, he's changed so much. He's gone much taller than me, and much bigger. I always see him in the Sanchez's private gym.

"Hey stranger." I say with a smile.

"Stranger? What's that supposed to mean?" He says with a light laugh.

I start laughing, whilst shaking my head lightly. "Nothing, I just haven't seen you around lately. What have you been upto?" I ask ruffling his hair with my hand.

He shakes his head and moves away from me with a grin plastered on his face. "Nothing much, school you know? I haven't seen you either." Matty bounces his head, with an expression that suggests I'm up to something.

"Erm, maybe because you're always at parties or never home?" I reply, slapping him lightly on his head.

He grins back playfully, fully aware of why he never sees me. It was weird not seeing him around or hearing him base music out from his room, and having to go in everyday telling him to stop as he was distracting my revision.

Now I barely do school work at home, I mean I'm not back on work, I just focus a lot more on Leroy now, than I do working.

Me and Matty take a seat on the table, with Leroy in front of me and Carlos in front of Leroy, and Emily and Alex besides each other. The food was already set out on our plates, now all we had to do was eat it without any commission.

We had been eating for almost seven minutes now, I was finding it extremely hard to eat with Leroy staring at me, and randomly I'd feel his feet on mine for a short few seconds. Was he playing footsie with me? I snigger at the thought, but then I stop when I realise everyone's eyes was on me.

"How's the food?" Emily asks, whilst she takes a sip from her wine. Why couldn't we have wine? Why did we have to have soda?

"Good."

"It's okay.

"M'kay."

"Good."

We all mummer, with our faces still on our place. "The food is great." Alex says with enthusiasm.
