Dangerous Attractions

Chapter 5

"My baby!"

Arms attack me as I step inside the door, crushing all the air out of my lungs.

"Mom," I say breathlessly as I pat her back awkwardly.

"Honey, don't kill the girl."

My dad comes up behind her. Mom finally let me go and her gaze moves to something behind me.

"Wow," she mutters and her eyes turn wide.

"How did you manage to get him?" She asks me. I roll my eyes with a smile and turn to dad, letting my mom gape at Kyle.

"Hey dad."

He brings me into his embrace and kiss my head.

"I've missed you, kiddo," he says and brings me away from his chest. I just smile at him and turn around to see how Kyle is surviving my mother.

"I'm so happy that your boyfriend could join you. I know how little you tell us about those boys of yours, and I almost started to think you didn't have any excitement since that boy from a few years back," mom says and pinch my cheeks lightly.

"Mom, just don't," I mumble and scrunch my nose.

"Wait, how did you know he was coming? No, that's not even my first question. How did you know I had a him?" I ask, suddenly realizing that this is not how I thought they would react.

Both mom and dad looks at me with weird expressions. I look at Kyle and see him smiling at me. He steps forward, sneaking an arm around my waist, now touching my sides.

Oh, my God! His hand is so warm.

"Sorry babe, but you forgot to tell them so I just sent them a little heads-up from your phone," he says and smiles charmingly at me, before stretching his hand out for my parents to shake.

"My name is Kyle; it is a pleasure to finally meet you after all this time."

I gape at him, not bothering to hide my shock.

He seems so confident and sure about this, a lot more than me anyway. I just have the feeling that my mom will ask if I hired him or something.

Wait, when did Kyle send th- in his office. Of course that's what he did. He was planning this all along, that bastard.

"Kyle, what a beautiful name you have. It is so nice to meet you too, even if I just heard about you this morning," my mom says and brings her hand in his.

Kyle does the same with my dad as I just stand there like an awkward, little dwarf.

We get to the living-room and I immediately plump down in the couch, not caring that I'm being rude. This is exactly how I would have been if Kyle wasn't here, and I have no plans to have better manners just because of him.

After getting me into a situation like this I hope he doesn't expect me to kiss his feet every day.

"Samantha dear, don't fall asleep on the couch," I hear my mom say and I groan out loud, hearing chuckling beside me.

I look up to see Kyle looking down at me with a smile. He takes his eyes away from me and turns to my parents.

"I think Sammy is a little tired after the day, we have been driving for a few hours," he says.

Mom looks like she just realized it and looks down at me in worry.

"Dearie, are you tired? Do you want some tea or do you want me to show you two to your room?"
