His Saving Grace

Chapter 2

I walked into my house and instantly realized I didn't know my new friend's name. I groaned loudly and my mum popped her head out of the kitchen with a worried look on her face and I smiled at her to assure her nothing was wrong. I went into the kitchen and kissed her cheek then ran upstairs to my room and slammed the door shut behind me.

 Once I sat down on my bed, I felt my phone ring in the back pocket of my jeans. I reached for it excitedly expecting to see my dad's name flash on the screen, my hopes were crushed when I saw an unknown number instead, I ignored the call and laid down on the cold floor. I was about to drift to sleep when I heard my mum calling out that dinner was ready, I contemplated ignoring her and missing dinner but I remembered I had missed lunch because of my mystery friend and I had eaten a measly apple during breakfast. I sluggishly stood up from my comfortable position and descended from the never-ending agonizing stairs until I got too lazy and began to crawl the rest of the way.

 My mum came out of the kitchen and looked at me questioningly and I gave her a sheepish smile.

"Charlotte-Grace Knight, when will you ever learn to be fit and sexy as me'', My mum said while smirking. I looked at her in disgust and pulled my shirt up, revealing my not so flat stomach and wobbled it a little bit.

"I'm way sexier than you are, Mother'', I scoff and rolled my eyes. She looked at me in false anger then returned back to the kitchen. I slowly stood up and ran to the kitchen and snagged a bag of chips for later.

Being sexy isn't easy people.

Few minutes later, the table was set and the food was laid out. Then we say Grace and began to eat. Wait, let me rephrase that, we literally shoved food into our throats without chewing at all. After five minutes we were done with the food and we both had disappointed looks on our faces.

"Why couldn't we just eat faster'', my mum groans while looking like she was about to cry. I looked at her pitifully and I started feeling ashamed of myself.

"Why couldn't we just make a new record'', I ask to no one in particular. I look at my mum and she's smiling at me, I started getting scared because that woman could be normal one second then batshit crazy the next.

"There's still pizza", she screams out before jumping out of her seat and yelling that she'd finish hers in less that 2 minutes. I looked at her warily.

Definitely bat shit crazy.

I called out to her but she didn't answer, damn she's going to beat my record. I ran upstairs quickly and grabbed my phone, I called Kevin's pizzeria and told them to start preparing the largest size of pizza they had. After ending the call, I ran into my walk-in closet and grabbed a hoodie with the caption "Titties do speak''. I ran downstairs and bolted through the front door without bothering to close it. I silently thanked God that the pizzeria was just two blocks away and encouraged myself to run faster. I reached there in no time and barged through the door which made everyone in the restaurant look at me weirdly but I noticed one face more than the others.

We meet again Mr. Grey eyes.

He stood up from his chair and looked at me with a smirk, then he lowered his head and whispered in a husky voice," I wonder what language they speak". Two minutes after he left, I realized what he meant.

Why did I have to wear this damn hoodie?!
