Luca's Challenge

Chapter 6. Game on

Luca!

From my school! You know the God himself. And also they guy I have been trying to avoid, and now he's at my doorstep. They guy next to him has brown hair, he is the same guy who drove us to the bowling place.

Are you serious? Out of all people she had to invite them over?

"Hello, I'm guessing my mother invited you over for dinner?" I said to a petite woman.

"Yes, your mother was a great friend of mine. We use to go to the same school together." she says enthusiastically.

Looking down I see the little girl cling to her dad and scream. Why is she screaming?

Turning around I see Shadow running full speed to the door. Immediately after I see this I put my hand up to my chest and doing a signal. I have taught him how to read hand gestures, so when I do this he runs up to me and sits beside me.

Taking his collar I kneel down to the girl who's hiding behind her fathers leg.

"It's alright. He won't bite, in fact he's a very good boy, see?" I say this while patting him.

Looking up to her parents they nod and she steps from behind her fathers legs and hesitantly pats his head.

With this I let his collar go so he can do whatever he wants. But when he starts to walk away, the little girl chases him and starts playing fetch with one of his toys.

All of us laugh while I look back up to the family right in front of me and stand back up.

"Hey my names Alexa." I act as if I haven't seen their son before.

"Oh honey I have heard of you, your mother and I talk about you sometimes." Looking at this lady, I see she has the exact same brown hair as the kid next to Luca who I'm assuming is his brother and the little girl.

"Uhh, what do you talk about?" I say. Why would Heather talk about me? She doesn't even care for me.

"Oh you know the sports you do and how you keep up with it."

"I love my sports, I have a really great time doing them and I'm not half bad."

"What sports?" Luca says.

"Oh nothing." I say rushed.

"Honey! Come on motorbike riding and basketball are great sports. They are male dominated areas and you kick ass." I cringe on the inside, he probably already knows this stuff so why ask questions.

With that, the kid standing next to Luca (the guy who drove me to bowling) probably a year or two older looks at me curiously.

"Haha well thank you for the praise but I'll lead you the kitchen, I think Heather's there. Oh and what's your name?"

"I'm so sorry darling. My names Lydia and this is Liam." she says gesturing to the man beside her. He politely nods his head down, as a simply gesture that she was referring to him.

"And these are our children, Luca, Chase and Sienna." she points to each one. Each giving my a friendly wave.

"Well nice to meet y'all, let's go to the table and see what's cooking."

Chase taps me on the shoulder.

"Do you have a bathroom?" He asks, what kind of question is that? No, we shit in the yard. I mange to keep my thoughts to myself and show him to the bathroom and lead the family.

Walking to the table I see my mother has actually tried cooking and the food looks great! But why can't she do this for us more often?

"Lydia!" Heather screeches.
