Accidentally in Love || Sterek [Completed]

Chapter 38

Stiles and Derek enter the little restaurant that Lydia was referring to and they spot the group sitting at a table in the corner. It looks like they've had to pull together three tables just to fit everyone.

"Dads! What's up?" Isaac yells, waving them over. Scott gives them a huge smile, standing up to give Stiles a huge hug.

"How are you guys?" Stiles asks, patting Scott on the back before the two pull away. "I haven't seen some of you in quite a bit."

"You haven't come to say me in the arts department. How am I supposed to model my designs?" Lydia pouts as the two sit down. "I miss you. Come see me more."

"The end of the semester was a disaster, I'm sorry Lyds. Just got stuck in a tornado."

"Our room proved that," Scott mumbles, giving Stiles a look. Stiles gives him a fake smile. "But oh well, this is tea time. Are we allowed to order food? Is that a thing?"

"And coffee?" Alix asks. "No offense, but I don't like actual tea."

Cora gives an offended look. "Have you ever tried iced tea? Peach iced tea is a gift from the gods."

"I think you mean strawberry iced tea," Isaac comments. Cora studies him like she wants to say something but just ends up shrugging.

"They're both gifts."

"Yes, coffee is on the table. I'm feeling a macchiato today." Lydia ends the tea conversation, leaning back in her chair and waves at the girl at the counter. "I think we're ready now!"

The girl walks over with a smile and a notepad in hand. "Hi, I'm Allison. I'll be your server today. What can I get ya?"

"Allison? Hey, I didn't know you worked here," Laura comments, leaning on to the table. "When did you get back from Spain?"

Allison notices everyone's weird looks. "Study abroad. I'm definitely not from Spain. I got back about a week or two ago."

After Allison takes everyone's order, Lydia launches into her first tea spill of the day.

"So, remember when Isaac asked who hurt me?" Lydia waits for the majority to nod their heads before continuing. "Well, I had just found out that Jackson was cheating on me with some chick named Erica who he met at the night club. No shade to her, she's attractive and she was a stranger. But Jackson tried to say it was an accident."

"How the hell was that an accident? Did his dick slip?" Laura questions.

"Did he forget he was dating you?" Isaac asks.

"Is he a fucking moron?" Cora adds, making Derek chuckle under his breath and Lydia to crack a smile.

"Suppose. So Lydia Martin is now single until further notice."

"If you wanted, you could ask out that cute guy that was in your Life Drawing class out," Stiles suggest. Derek gives him a raised eyebrow look. "What? Lydia thinks he's cute, he's cute."

"I think he's in my photography class next semester. I'll definitely have to ask him out," Lydia replies with a light smirk. "Anyone else got some piping hot tea?"

"These two are going to New York by themselves," Scott says, smiling devilishly at the two. Stiles gives him a shocked look.

"The surprised pikachu jumped out of him," Alix laughs. Isaac gives her a high five.

"She's my favorite."

"You two are doing what?!" Lydia asks so loudly that the other customers turn to look at her. She smiles at them and turns back to Stiles and Derek. "Why didn't you say anything?"

"...because it wasn't important?" Stiles tries but he knows that isn't going to work. Not on Lydia, anyways. She continues staring at him until he speaks again. "I don't know, it just hasn't come up."

"Here's your guys food and drinks. You need anything else?" Allison comes by and breaks the awkward silence. She looks at everyone. "Bad time?"

"No."

"Yes."

"Lydia!" Stiles gives her a look.

"What? You just conveniently left out the fact that you are going to New York!"

"Oh, you're going to New York? That's so cool!" Allison says and Stiles smiles at her, about to tell her thank you when Lydia starts talking again.

"Not when he didn't inform some of us that he and his boyfriend were going there."

"The shade," Cora whispers, sucking in a breath. Laura stares down at the table and Alix is watching this interaction with an amused look.

"I'm gonna head over there," Allison says, pointing behind her then walking away.

"You made the poor girl walk away." Stiles gives Lydia another look. 

"Yes, we are going to New York. You know now, I don't see what the big deal is," Derek comments, looking over this entire conversation. "This is cold tea. Move on."

"Whatever. We'll talk about this more later."

"Thank you."

"Ah fuck! I just burnt my tongue!" Isaac shouts which causes everyone at the table to laugh.
