Athena's p.o.v

After school ended I walked across the parking lot and put in my headphones.

"Athena!" Lucian calls me.

"What?" I ask turning around.

"I'll pick you up at 4." He told me and I nodded.

When it came time for me to be picked up I got butterflies in my stomach, like I was nervous. What is this feeling? I don't like it.

When I heard the knock at the door I rushed over.

I grabbed my purse and opened the door, locking it behind me.

"Hey Violet's in the car we have to run an errand." He tells me and I nod. I feel weird being alone with him. I get in the back and he looks at me weird.

"What are you doing?" He asks.

"Sitting with the reason I'm here." I tell him. That sounded mean but it's true.

"Whatever." He huffed.

"Where are we going?" I asked as he turned on the radio.

"I don't know some fancy organic baby store. Mom buys this specific formula from them." He tells me and I nod. Violet fusses and I hand her a toy.

"So Athena, I barely know you." He says. I feel all nervous.

"What do you wanna know?" I ask.

"I mean where are you from? What's your story." He said. It sounded cheesy as hell.

"I'm from Canada and I live with my mom. I have 3 younger sibling back in Canada." I tell him carefully.

"What about your dad?" He asks and I feel my heart stop.

"He's in jail." I tell him and he is quiet. He probably thinks I'm a freak. Violet begins to cry.

"Could you pull over?" I ask him and he surprisingly does. I take Violet out of her car seat and pour some formula into a bottle of water. I hold her and feed her. Once she is burped I put her back into the expensive car seat and she drifts off. I can tell Lucian is staring at me.

"I'm sorry I asked, it's none of my business." He says and begins driving again.

"It's okay it doesn't really bother me." I say. That's a lie it kills me.

"I shouldn't have asked I mean you didn't ask where my dad was." He says.

"My mom cheated on him and now he lives in the mansion all alone and sad." He blurted out. I didn't really know what to say.

"You didn't owe me an explanation." I said quietly.

"Yeah I did." He says and looks back at me quickly.

We sit in silence until he pulls up to a large plaza. Lucian open the truck and pulls out a shiny stroller. He struggles to get it open and I laugh.

"I got it." I said and snapped it into place. I take Violets car seat out and attach it. Lucian stares at me like I have 2 heads.

"How did you do that?" He asks and I show him.

"Let's go." He says as I push the stroller. I follow him until we reach a nice looking baby store. He tells the lady what we were looking for and she smiled at us.
