Starbucks Part 7

 sorry for not updating sooner 

Just started a new term at school and I had the flu

_______________________________________________________________________________

We had walked to the bus stop in silence, non of us daring to say a word.

I took out my bus card and so did Lucas he has really thought about this. This wasn't his first day in town then. When we sat down, I got the courage to talk. 

"How come you have a bus pass?" It wasn't a great question but it was a start.

"I got it yesterday when I got here exploring this town. I found out some good sports if you want to go?" he sounded like a pervert is he allowed to do that.

"You sound like a perv but maybe later."I winked it was fun to mess with him but he got to me more.

"I am not a perv, you are totally falling for me." he must be the playboy type that doesn't give up. it is kind of fun to see how this will end.

"So what's your favourite colour?" I asked

"Why are you asking?" he doesn't answer he just stare's.

"I want to get to know you. I ask a question you ask a question." I reasoned so he would answer.

"Ok, navy blue." he eventually answered

"Why"

"No. You said you ask a question and I ask a question. So the next question is mine." He refuses to answer. "What's your favourite colour?" 

"Rose gold and black." it has been my favourite colour since I was 14. My mum bought me an apple phone it was a rose gold cover.I really like it and black because it was a good colour for my mood and how I feel.

"Why is your favourite colour navy blue." I was curious.

"Don't know. just like it." Such a boyish answer.

We had arrived. Starbucks is a 2-minute walk to get there. Lucas and I were walking side by side towards Starbucks. We just had a short conversation about school.

We went inside Starbucks and the smell of coffee was so strong my nose hurt.I ordered a Caramel Macchiato with extra caramel and Lucas got a Jave Chip Frappuccino. We both got a large size. Lucas got a muffin and I got a white choco chip cookie.

We sat away from the window on at a two-person table. It was his turn to ask a question

"What is up with your family. Even my family isn't that dramatic and we are an F.B.I family." he laughed.

"My dad owns the Andreas Company," I replied with no feeling.

"No way. That big shot company that helped the apple company with their latest phone.It's it also the one that helped Samsung." he sounded surprised.

"Yeah, my dad's a computer nerd.He loves stuff like that."I was starting to be nice about my dad and I needed him to suffer.

"My turn. Why did you decide to be a bodyguard" I really wanted to know it annoys me.

"I wanted to come to England.My mum said ok, but I had to go to boarding school. Around that time the F.B.I found out about an assassination attack on you. It would be suspicious for a grown man to be around you all the time, so they thought of someone your age would be more normal, and the answer was me." he explains like it was nothing, his tone didn't change I was speechless. "I was only allowed to go to England if I would be your bodyguard.If you already didn't know our mums are really good friends, so she agreed for me to come and stay. It was that or wait till I was 40." he continues talking, though he sounds annoyed that he had to take care of me while in England.

"I'm sorry." was all I could say.

"For what" he sounded confused

"For having to guard me while in England. To make it up to you we will go to London, to see the landmarks." I felt like that was the only thing I could do.

"Thanks, but it's not your fault a bunch of pervs are trying to kill you for your father's money." said he laughed quietly."You know it's not the first time I said that sentence" he sounded amused at himself.

"Wait I am wanted dead? I didn't know dad would give me the company later." I wasn't that surprised at being wanted dead it isn't the first time.

"Yeah, they want the money we think. But I am not sure why they want you dead. To get the money they need you to give it them." he looked like he was trying to solve a maths problem. 

"Maybe they want me dead after they torture me for the money and I break" I don't get weird when other people or I talk about people wanting me dead.

"I guess. My turn to ask a question and I'm going off topic, is that ok?" he asked

"yeah," It shouldn't be too bad.

"Do you like your dads girlfriend?" sounded very curious.

"I don't really know her. She was this woman that my dad met in college. They met again after the divorce and they started dating. Theo told me this. She had a daughter though so she should be a children person. I think she's called Madeline and her daughter is called Gemma.

"Oh, ok," he said. "Will you visit her?" he kept asking questions about her.

"Mum's making me visit them during the summer holidays. The boys will visit us next summer. Mum began talking to dad now about how they want to see the kids and not see each other. Most of their conversations end up with both of then shouting at each other through the phone."

"So next summer were going to Greek?" how he looked shocked. 

"No. We're going to America. Yes, my dad is Greek but he doesn't live there. His main company is in  America so he lives there instead. Also, Philip has his cafe there and is creating a restaurant. he has a house and everything but still insists on living with dad. Philips not a big fan of change. And what do you mean we?"

"Did no-one tell you I am supposed to be your bodyguard till college." he grinned.

"F*ck that's long." I rubbed my forehead.

"Tell me about it but you aren't the one who's protecting of a 17-year-old girl." he joked well I think he was joking.

We had finished our drink and snack which Lucas paid for. Heading back to the dorm before curfew, which is 7 pm for the year 7-10 and 9 pm for year 11-13.

Lucas wanted to meet Ben and I needed to talk to Claire.

The rest of the ride home was of me talking about Ben and Claire to Lucas, who couldn't stop laughing after I told him the story about the diary accident.

I also told him to always knock when going into a room with one of them especially Ben who is such a playboy. It was a lesson I learned the hard way.
