My Silent Words

Chapter 17 - Dinner's night

Alexander's POV

Walking towards the basketball court, I found myself currently sitting on a random seat on the bleachers just comfortable enough to see the whole court.

As the boys go to their lockers to change clothes, I went on my phone and started scrolling down my newsfeed when a message popped up on my screen. Seeing the familiar ID on it, I smiled and opened the message.

Mom: Don't be late for tonight's dinner! Love you.

With a wide grin and the effort of my thumb, I typed a reply.

Me: Don't worry, mom. We'll be there before you know it.

And just in time, the boys went back to the court changed in their jerseys.

Whilst watching the game, I was focused on Isaiah the whole time without even noticing it. And everytime his direction goes back on me, I happen to turn away quickly.

Finally, after a good one hour rehearsal, they finally decided to make it a day.

“Okay boys! Line up!” I heard their coach say. “Tomorrow's the day. Tomorrow, we will win that trophy. We just got to believe in ourselves that we will win, are we clear?” he asked

“YES COACH!!!” They all say in unison. “Good, now you have to get enough rest and stretch your limbs up for tomorrow's game.”

After that last announcement from the coach, they quickly headed towards the locker room and I'm guessing they took a shower because of Isaiah's wet hair as well as the other players once they got outside from the locker room.

Isaiah's wet messy hair caught my attention as his beautiful frame came into view. I was brought back to reality when he finally bring out an interrogation.

“Shall we?” he asked telling me to follow him.

I nodded and stood up to my feet and walked with him outside the court.

The walk home was very silent and he didn't even try to break the silent atmosphere.

I guess he was just shy to start a topic.

As we arrive in front of my house, I bid Isaiah goodbye for now.

“I'm just gonna change into something comfortable, okay? I'll be back for a minute.” he said and I just nodded

I was about to grab the door knob when it was opened by some guy I don't know. He was like about my age, inches taller than me, and he was blonde.

I'm starting to think he was a thief that was just about to get out of the house from stealing.

“Oh hello, Mr. Ray. Mrs. Ray is inside. Come along.” he greeted which left me in wide eyes.

Interesting.

He escorted me throught the hallways and as I finally reach the dinner table, I was left wide open as my view came in contact with the food in the table.

It was a bizarre set of food on the table. It was like a food fit for a royalty. It had a full roasted chicken and then it had cakes and cupcakes for dessert and steaks and almost every food you can imagine.

“You like it?” My mom said behind me. And once I turn around to see her, I was surprised she was in a lovely dress. He also had make up on.

I nodded at her and walked towards her to hug her which I did.

“Is there anything more I can do Mrs. Ray?” The guy from earlier asked.

“Mom, who is he?” I asked mom.
