Is he really a bad boy? [English]

~Chapter 47~

"Veronica, can you please help me set the table?", my father asked me.
"You cooked so much food. Is someone coming over?", I asked him.
"Yes. Matthew and his parents. You like him, don't you? His parents liked you a lot"
"Wait. Do you want to set us up?!", I yelled furiously.
"No. We just thought that it would be nice if you two would get along. And Matthew told his parents that you two have a nice relationship with each other." He told what?
"Dad. We are constantly fighting. And I really can't stand him."
"Really? Why is he claiming things like that?"
"I don't know. And besides that, I told you that I'm together with Maxim."
"Hmm. Should I cancel it? Or you could invite him. I mean Maxim.", he suggested. Of course, I thought it was a great idea.
"Really?"
"Yes sure. Why not?"
"I'll call him right now and ask him if he wants to come", I said excited and ran off to get my phone. "I'll set the table right after it", I yelled while running upstairs.

"Are you free at the moment? I have to talk to you", I texted Maxim. Not even a minute later his face popped on my screen.
"Hey", I said.
"What happened?", Maxim asked worried and furious.
"Nothing happened. I just wanted to ask you something"
I heard him sighing relieved.
"Baby. You scared the shit out of me"
"Sorry", I apologised lowkey embarrassed.
"So what's up? What so you wanted me to ask?"
"Matthew is coming over tonight with-"
"What? Matthew? Why? What? Are you fucking kidding me?", he interrupted me.
"Wait. Just listen to me first before you'll freak out okay?", I asked him. He hesitated.
"Fine"
"So. Matthew is coming over tonight, with his parents for dinner. His father is a business friend of my dad. And Matthew told his parents that we - him and I - have a really great relationship with each other, and our parents thought that we'd be a great couple. That's why they are coming"
"I hate him", was the only comment from him.
"I know. Me too. That's why I wanted to ask you if you'd like to come over tonight, too", I said and was biting my lip.
"Why?" How could someone be so slow off the mark?
"Maxim. I don't want to get set up with someone, especially if I already have a boyfriend."
"Okay. You're right, I can't let a dumbass hit on my girl, right?" MY GIRL. "I'm still on set right now but I'm almost done. I'll be there in an hour", he promised.
"Okay. Perfect. Thank you! Have fun", I said.
"Thanks. See you in a bit, babe"
"See you", I hang up and jumped happily in my room.
Hurried I ran downstairs and started setting the table.
"Is he coming?", my father asked me, he was standing on the patio and was smoking.
"Yes, but he's coming a bit later"
"Alright"

After everything was set perfectly on the table, I changed my clothes. I went for a cute blue playsuit. I let my hair falling over my shoulders and put I bit of makeup on and then I put the necklace on that my dad got me for my 16th birthday.
"Veronica!", I heard my dad calling for me. That was the sign for the guests are here.
In the hallway were Matthew's parents and Nevel himself, who was grinning at me. Was it possible to sprain one's jaw because of too much grinning?
"Veronica! You are looking absolutely stunning!", Matthew's mother said and hugged me.
"Thank you, Mrs Smith. Nice to see you again. And you too Mr Smith", I said smiling and gave him my hand.
"Hello Veronica", Matthew greeted me and pulled me into a hug.
"Let me go immediately or I'll make sure your parents will return without their son", I whispered into his ear so only he could hear it. He released me and smirked.
"Charming as always", he replied.
"Let's get started", dad said.
My father sat down at the end of the table, like always. Matthew's parents sat on one side of the table and Matthew took the seat on my side, right next to me, unfortunately. Where are you, Maxim?
"Are you expecting someone else?", Mrs Smith asked when she noticed the empty chair next to me.
"Yes", my father answered and directed the conversation towards work. I looked at him thankfully and he nodded acknowledging.
"Who's coming?", Matthew whispered.
"You'll see", I answered him and shoved a fork with food into my mouth. "How dare you talking to your parents about me? They are planning on setting us up, dammit!", I hissed.
"I don't have that much of a problem with that, to be honest. I like you. You are pretty and I'm sexy, we'd be the perfect couple."
"You're gross", I responded disgusted. He grinned and put his arm on my chair. I faked a smile and hoped for his arm to fall off in the next second.
"You two are cute as a button together", Mrs Smith said and looked at us. What?! I choked on a piece of meat and started coughing like crazy. Matthew pat me on my back and then stroke over it. I drank some water to wash down everything and glanced at him madly.
"Matthew was gushing over you", his mother told me.
"Oh, he did?" I'm gonna kill him. No! Maxim is gonna kill him.
"Yeah, he's talking about you all the time"
"Mom please, you're embarrassing me!", he said laughing and I could feel how Nevel placed his hand on my leg. It was the third time already. I slapped his hand away and focused on my salat.
When she started talking about children and weddings and all that stuff I looked at my father seeking help. But exactly when he wanted to say something the door rang. My salvation!
"I don't think any of it will happen", I said when she talked about Matthew and me as a couple, "Excuse me" I ignored her aghast look and left the table.
