Let's Face It Together

Our Hangout (Part-I)

**Kevin's POV**

After narrating everything, my mom agreed to settle things and with dad's acceptance, Lacey got a space in our family. My dad was a well recognised man in the eyes of the government and he decided to file a case against Lacey's family so that they can be punished for the murder case which they stated as an accident. Also suggested to punish for the violation they caused to Lacey.

Its been two days that Lacey is staying with us. Since these two days were a weekend holiday so she looked happy and safe with our family. My mom always wanted to have a daughter but she had some inner problems so she couldn't have one. I often felt bad for her but now my mom and Lacey have become best friends. They made cookies yesterday and also went for shopping.

"Hey Kevin, come here!" My mom shouted from the kitchen.

"What?" I walked in. They were preparing some dish.

"Taste this!" She said while Lacey held the spoon full of something.

"Why do you guys always experiment things on me?" I frowned. Its true! They made me eat their bitter cookies and before that burned noodles.

"Try this, its good!" Lacey said with a smile that made me melt. How can I say no to her?

I leaned in to eat it. It was pasta. And it tasted good. But wait, "Aah! Its so hot!" Oops I just burned my mouth.

I was panicking now. Oh crap! Why can't they feed me with normal food? Soon there was a glass of water stuck to me mouth and a hand stroking my back. I somehow got calm and quiet.

"Sorry it was my fault!" Lacey said. I saw her face fell.

"Hey its OK! But you know, this is the best pasta I've ever tasted." I said and her face got lit up.

"Really!?" She jumped up and down. Wow! This is that amazing girl I fell in love with. I feel so fortunate with this.

"Hey everyone! What's going on?" My dad came.

"Honey have this pasta! Lacey made it and its awesome! She is a lot better chef than I am!" My mom walked out of the kitchen with a plate and a fork. I took the moment to walk in to her.

"Can I have some more please?" I asked her and she smiled.

"Your wish is my command sir!" She said while filling a plate of it.

She handed me the plate and that's when our hands brushed. Without hesitation I took the plate from her hands and sat on the counter. "You want some?" I asked.

She came closer, "Sure!"

I filled my fork with pasta and gave it a blow to reduce its heat and gently fed her. Our eyes got locked and everything stopped. Her beautiful brown eyes held no fear now. It was as if the bird is now set free. All its wings are free to fly.

"Lacey its fabulous! I loved it!" My dad broke our stare by making us aware that we were not the only ones here.

"Thank you so much."

"So what's your plan now? Its a Sunday afternoon anyway!"

"Yeah! Go for a movie and have fun because we both have somewhere to go in the evening." My mom said.

"Its a good idea. Lacey get ready in half an hour!" I told her as I had my last bite of pasta and kept the plate in the sink.

"OK then!" We walked up to our bedrooms. Before entering hers she gave me a smile and closed the door behind her. I quickly went in my room with a great excitement building up in me.
