Twisted

Chapter 15

"Can we go please?" I asked my dad the moment I entered the room he was in.

"Is something wrong dear? Was James rude?" Vicky said.

"Oh,no. I just remembered I have to do something."

"I'm sorry but Olly really needs my help righ now. Is it that urgent?" 

"No, it can wait." I sighed.

"Come with me if you want, I'm thinking about cooking something, do you crave anything?" I swear she is one of the kindest persons I've ever met. "Boys, please hurry, the girl needs to get home."

By the time we got to the kitchen Liam was no longer at the table and I felt relieved.

"Tell me, what's your favorite food?" She asked.

"Umm I don't know really, but I love cheesecake." 

"I love it too!  Okay, so tell me, why do you wanna leave? You and I both know you have a reason. Dan's no longer here, you can tell me. I mean, of course, if you want. Is it about a boy? It is, I know it is. I'm so curious." She laughed.

"I'm just really confused, you konw? I've never felt like this before." 

"Your first love?" Her smile was so big and it just made me blush a bit.

"I wouldn't call it that."

"I remember my first love. It didn't end really well though..." 

"Well that's really conforting." I laughed.

"No, I mean... It didn't end well but I wouldn't take it back. Anyway, I can see you don't feel confortable talking about it, but if you ever do, you know where to find me." She smiled. "Now excuse me, my not so smart of a son went to a party yesterday and gave his t-shirt to some, forget me god, skank who was going around naked."

"Oh... really? Is that so?" I didn't wanna be mean because she was so kind but I felt bad for her, her son was manipulating her.

"Look, I know you don't think Liam is an angel, but I know my son and he has never lied to me. He may had hidden things from me, I admit, but I didn't raise him to lie to my face. Actually please go and leave him these cupcakes, I forgot the last round in the oven and they started to smell."

"He ate some when he was in the kitchen." I responted. 

" Was he being rude? I don't know what to do with him anymore." I don't want to upset her. Damn, I just should've walked home.

"No, I'll get him the cupcakes." 

"Thank you so much. I'll be up in a minute too."

I quickly took the plate in my hands and went upstairs. I heard his voice coming from Dianna's room.

"Look at me when I'm telling you, stay away!" Dianna yelled.

"Who do you think you are? Just a spoiled rat and a controll freak. I don't have to listen to you, I don't give a fuck about what you say or think, got it?" He shouted.

"She's my best friend you dick!" 

"Well aren't you the bestie of the year! I've had enough already." He stepped closer and I quickly opened the bathroom door and jumped in. I hear the door open and then close again and one moment later I knocked on his door.

"If it's you again, I'm going to loose it!" He was very angry but when he saw me his figure changed automatically.

"Angry much? What was that about?" I asked. "Oh, and you mother wanted me to get you these cupcakes. I really didn't want to come but.."

"I'm glad you did. Look, I..." He started but I quickly stopped him.

"Can I ask you something? And be honest? Please?" He nodded and I gulped. "What really happened last night? I mean your mom said..."

"You talked to my mom about me?" He sounded courious but he was smiling. "Look, yeah I got pretty drunk but there was this girl that was only in her underwear who kept telling me about you and that guy and how you two are together and shit and I lost it. She kept hitting on me and she was all over me and stuff but I wasn't quite into it and then I gave her my t-shirt because I was kind of pitying her."

"Really? You weren't into it? How come?" I almost laughed.

"Well it's quite funny actually. When I closed my eyes an image of a blondie came into my mind and it was pretty buzzkiller."

"You're into Dianna then?" I giggled.

"Oh hell no, you're very funny. I forgot to say she had a pink strand in her hair." 

"Oh." Was all I could say.

"Look, just... I'm not all that good at this kind of stuff. All I know is you got me crazy since that day I met you. You weren't easy like the other girls, I can tell you're a challenge and I fucking love it. So will you please just go out with me?" 

I certainly was not expecting this to happen. 

"I guess we'll just have to see about it." 

"Is that a yes then?" 

"Don't make me regret it." 

"You bet I won't." I was awkwardly staying on his desk while he was on the chair. 

"James dear, is Sophie still here? Dan is getting worried. Oh, what are you two doing?" 

"We, um, were just, uh, she was telling me who the girl I borrowed my t-shirt is."

"You know her? Oh thank god. Well you kids should go and get it, I know how much that means to you James."

"Do you wan to?" He asked and I nodded. "Come on then."

"Are you gonna come back later for a late dinner?" Vicky asked.

"Yeah, sure. I'm really looking forward into eating that cheesecake." 

When we got downstairs my dad and Olly were in the kitchen eating.

"Here you are, Soph! Are you good to go?" My dad asked.

"Actually I need her help with something, if that's okay with you, Mr. Clark." Liam said.

"I wouldn't let my baby go out with any guy now because it's getting late but I like you, Liam. Keep her safe from the douches who will be around." Oh my god is he really saying that?

"Dad! Oh god this isn't happening." I squealed.

"Sure thing." Liam said.
