Chap10: Pushy Parents, Text Messages, & Three Dumbsketeers Oh My-part1
I put on a hat and made sure it was securely on my head to hide the stupid head wrap I have to temporarily wear so my parents wouldn't see it. I don't want to bring down the mood, so I'm going to wait to tell them about what happened before they went out for dinner. To be honest I don't want to tell them at all, but I know I would want to know if I had a child and something like this happened to them. I knew they would watch the news in the morning and I didn't want them to find out that way or be attacked by the media with questions on a subject they knew nothing about. So I'll have to suck it up and tell them, but for now I'll sit back and enjoy the rest of the game.
I made my way over to them and Sue turned and smiled at me when she heard me behind her.
"Hey honey what took you so long, where have you been?"-she said hugging me tight and I winced slightly and prayed she didn't notice.
"Probably out celebrating, that was one hell of a game sweetheart."-Harry said, moving one seat over and I kissed him on the cheek and sat between them.
Sue sat there looking at me funny and I silently started to panic wondering if my head wrap slid down or something, but quickly calmed down knowing it was hid well and she couldn't possibly know anything was wrong.
"Leah what's wrong?"-so much for not knowing.
She leaned in examining me and I sunk back in my seat a little and tried desperately to avoid her gaze.
"Nothing mom geez can't a girl watch a game in peace."-I said trying to sound nonchalant, but she kept looking at me.
"It's fifteen minutes into half time which means you have fifteen minutes to explain what's wrong and don't tell me there isn't because I can see it written all over you."-she looked at me accusingly and I felt the need to explain because of how guilty that one look made me feel, but luckily Harry intervened.
"Sue leave the girl alone she's fine probably just tired and hungry."-he waved a hand dismissively in her direction which she didn't like at all.
"Excuse me for being concerned about my daughter; whatever was I thinking? I know what I'm talking about Harry something is wrong my mommy senses are going crazy. I'll find out what it is later so you might as well save yourself the trouble and tell me now."-she crossed her arms and waited for an explanation. Harry and I chuckled and she glowered at us.
"Really Sue, mommy senses? Is that anything like spidey senses, but without the web?"-he snickered
"Yeah and who calls you mommy anymore; what are we three?"-we continued to chuckle and she continued to glower.
"Mock me all you want, but I know there's something you're not telling me, me your mother the one who gave you life, but apparently that doesn't count for anything."-now she was trying to play the I gave you life card and I rolled my eyes.
"Look mom if something was wrong and I didn't tell you about it that just means I can handle it on my own and there's no need to worry you about it…if something was wrong."-I quickly added on the last part and she sighed defeated and sat back just as the cheerleaders were finishing up the halftime show.
"Right, Leah can handle herself I raised her after all."-Harry said chuckling and elbowed me and mom turned to him with a raised eyebrow.
"You did did you? Since when does tossing her in a boat to go fishing once a week count as raising a child or teaching her what a pount is?"-I sat back and got comfortable, glad to have the attention off of me.
"Don't you mean punt and it helped her get to where she is today, so I think that constitutes as raising her."-he said proudly, patting me on the knee. I kept very still hoping to remain unnoticed and not have to have the talk prematurely.
"Ok I'll give you that one, but in order for her to know how to say and write punt she had to be taught how to read, write, and speak and if memory serves right you did none of the above."-she smiled smugly at him and I have to say I was a little amused until…
"Well I might not have raised her to your standards honey, but you sure as hell raised mine which is how she got here in the first place. That was the best touchdown I've ever made."-Harry said in a husky voice. Oh my God shoot me now please!
Sue blushed and reached to grab what I hope was his hand and whispered seductively.
"I have to say that was the only time I've ever understood football, but only after your instant replay."-she winked at him and he licked him lips and growled playfully, making her giggle.
You know what, maybe I shouldn't wait and just tell them right now. My amusement is officially gone and is replaced with vomit. They kept making bedroom eyes at each other and I seriously almost hurled.
"Ok daughter in the room not to mention sitting right between you two!"-I exclaimed on the verge of hysterics and they fucking chuckled and leaned back in their seats.
"Sorry baby girl forgot you were here, we just got a little…caught up."-Harry said blushing while shifting in his seat and my mom made some weird noise in the back of her throat that sounded like a choke mixed with a moan. I didn't dare look down at my dad's lap as I bolted to the back of the box and downed a bottle of beer in one go…and I don't even drink! Those are words, noises and images I never want to see or hear ever again!
I shuddered and loitered in the back for a couple more minutes for those two to calm down.
"My Leah, your parents are most delightful always so very entertaining."-Aro said with a broad creepy smile as he looked over at them.
"Not to mention horny"-Caius snickered as if this was amusing.
"Ugh you two are disgusting and Aro stop staring at them like you want to join them or something…you don't want to do you?"-I had to ask because with him anything is possible. He chuckled and waved his hand dismissively.
"No no my darling Leah I would never think of such a thing; maybe your mother, but she's a little old for me. Perhaps if she were to wear a school girl's uniform which made her look younger."-Aro said with all seriousness and I just gawked at him.
"Are you serious?"-I asked incredulously.
"He's been your bodyguard for about six months now and you still don't know how creepy he is?"-Caius said like I was crazy for not noticing.
"Well yes I noticed, but come on that is just sick and with my mother gross."-I shuddered
"You better not let my dad hear you talking like that or he'll kick your creepy ass from here back to whatever the hell equally creepy place you came from."-I shook my head and shuddered again.
"I would never dream of disrespecting your father or your mother in such a way…unless they were willing. Besides my darling Leah I only have eyes for you."-he grabbed my hand and kissed it and if it weren't for how creepy and well…weird he was, I might have melted a little bit, but he is so I wiped my hand on his shirt.
"Sorry I'm already taken by that even creepier guy who lives down the street from me."-I smiled and he laughed lightly and bowed his head.
"What a pity. No matter I shall wait in the wings for you my sweet, but I have to say I'm shocked I would assume you would be taken by the devilishly handsome Jacob Black."-now he was smirking with a gleam in his eyes; my brows shot up in surprise.
"W-what are you talking about there's nothing going on between Jacob and I we're just friends, have been all our lives. What makes you say that h-he didn't say anything did he?"-I felt like an absolute idiot the way I was stuttering and fidgeting like a mad woman, but I couldn't help it Jacob kind of makes me giddy inside and just the mention of his name has me fixing my appearance and making sure I look ok as if he's here.
Aro chuckled and started tapping his fingertips against each other as he leaned over the counter with one of his trademark creepy smiles. I backed up a little not liking that look one bit.
"Well my dear Leah, it is simply an observation. I'm not blind or deaf and no he didn't say anything, with words at least. His actions on the other hand speak volumes."-I sighed in relief and disappointment and was about to turn and go back to my seat.
"But you and Jacob's little exchange in the ambulance certainly helped with my observations."-I spun around to see him sitting with his hands clasped and smiling as he sighed dreamily like it was him who had the "exchange".
"Um…wh-what exchange are you talking about? Me and Jacob didn't have an exchange."-I stood there nervously and Caius had his fist balled and his jaw tight, shaking his head with his face scrunched up.
"You know for those rumors to supposedly be false you sure are going out of your way to make them seem true."-Caius said with a smirk and I flipped him off.
"Aro does your company give out unemployment or severance packages?"-I asked and he raised his eyebrow.
"No why?"-I looked over at Caius when answering.
"Oh, no reason."-he glared at me and turned his head.
"So, about that ambulance exchange?"-I said sheepishly and Aro placed his hand over mine.
"I couldn't stay in the hotel knowing it was my job to keep you safe or knowing you were hurt, so Caius and I came back to the stadium and we were in the security office trying to figure out what happened from the security team who have absolutely no clue about anything and couldn't protect a roach not to mention their horrible furnishing. I mean they had a metal door with wooden chairs and a marb-"
"Aro!"-I shouted his name, cutting off his rant because he could go on for days if you let him.
"Oh right, anywho as they were trying to make it seem like they knew what happened, what was going on, or where you were I was facing the monitors and the parking lot camera was angled perfectly for me to see into the ambulance and see you two kiss."-he clapped happily and I gasped.
"We did not kiss!"-I almost screeched.
"Oh you know what I mean, almost kiss, but that's beside the point. The point is you-"
"Need to learn how to keep your hands to yourself and stop ruining football and corrupting the players."-Caius happily interjected. I didn't even acknowledge him nor did Aro.
"-two are in love and are simply perfect for each other. Oh you must tell the world it is simply marvelous! I do not know why you two insist on keeping it a secret!'-he clapped happily with that dreamy look on his face again and I grabbed him by the collar and pulled him to me.
"There is no Leah and Jacob, we did not almost kiss, there is no secret, and we certainly are not in love, so keep that shit to yourself and let the subject drop."-I whisper yelled and smiled down at my parents who were looking back at us worried and clearly wanting an explanation of which they certainly were not going to get.
I let Aro go and smoothed out his shirt then grabbed another beer, but thought better of it. I was already too anxious now as it is I don't need alcohol to add to it not to mention it taste awful.
"Well then I guess my lips are sealed as were yours with your non kiss with your lover- oh my deary me, I meant Jacob your devilishly handsome, single, strictly platonic friend who has a thing for you and you for him."-he said giggling, are men even allowed to do that, while pretending to zip his I could respond I heard the announcer over the speakers and my parents cheering.
"Leah the game is about to start back up come on before you miss them run out of the tunnel!"-Sue said happily.
"Zip,"-I warned, pointing at Aro and he fake zipped his mouth again.
"Zip,"-he said giggling like a girl.I rolled my eyes and made my way back to my seat, but noticed some of the workers glancing at me and whispering. Obviously we weren't as quiet as I'd hoped.
