I'm sorry I took so long to update. I've been following the live feed updates for Big Brother, and now that I know, the depressing thing that will happen, to the love of my life, who I plan to marry one day, I am back to write my story. Well okay.. I still need to meet him.. and have him except that he's 24 and I'm 16, but still, I'll make it work. Yeah, I'm done with my rant about Kaysar. Here's the story.
Thanks everybody for all your reviews please continue to review!
"What the hell's going on up here?" Luke asked, stunned to see Alexis, in front of a box of almost his entire life savings.
"I was.. just.. looking to see what this was" Alexis said, trying to sound convincing.
"Bull Shit" Jess chimed in.
"Enough Jess, go downstairs and take care of the diner." Luke told Jess, and he turned around to walk downstairs. "Now what the hell's going on?" He turned around to face Alexis, while he spoke.
"I told you, I was--"
"What's going on up here?" He cut her off, not buying a word she was saying. Alexis stared at Luke, long and hard. She wasn't going to give up that easily. She wasn't going to come this way, and not leave here with what she wanted. Luke was going to believe her story if it was the last thing she did. They stared eachother down for a good 10 minutes, before Alexis finally pulled away. What the hell am I going to do? She asked herself. There's not possible way I'm telling him the truth. How do you tell someone 'I needed money, that's the only reason I came. I knew my mom was dead, oh and by the way, my parents have no idea where I am. They probably don't care much either. After everything I told him, it doesn't seem like that will go over, especially since I'm standing here in front of the man's entire life savings. What am I going to---
"Alexis!" Her thoughts were interrupted by Luke's stern voice. "Tell me what the hell is going on? Why did you come here?"
"What do you mean why did I come here?" She said innocently, "I wanted to meet you." Alexis smiled.
""No hidden motives?"
"Like what?" Alexis looked confused.
"Like wanting to rob me of everything I own."
"You're my father, why on earth would I want to do that?" Luke stared at Alexis. The stare down had started again. This time Luke was the one to pull away. He wasn't stupid enough to believe that she was just wondering what was in that safe. He had hid the key. I should have listened to Jess, he thought. He was right. Jeez, I can't believe he was right.
"Are you mad at me Luke?" Alexis asked.
"What do you need money for anyway?" Luke asked her.
"I don't need money." Once again, Alexis's innocent act was top notch.
"You know exactly what I mean. What the hell could you possibly need money for?"
Shit! Alexis started thinking again. There's no way I'm telling him any of this. There's no way he's going to find out I need money. How the hell am I going to cover this? I should have thought this through. What happens if you get caught Alexis? That should have been one of my first thoughts. Why am I so God damn stupid? FUCK!
"Alexis!" Once again her thoughts were interrupted by Luke. "What the hell do you need money for?" Luke was trying to reason this all out. Luke is a very trusting person, and still wasn't able to put the fact that Alexis was not nearly as close to her parents that she led him to believe. The truth was, Alexis hadn't spoken to her parents in 2 months.
"I.. I need it to solve a few problems." Was all Alexis was able to spit out. She didn't want to seem like a failure to her father. She never expected to like her father, and she never expected to feel badly about taking his money.
"What kind of trouble are you in?" Luke's anger, turned slightly worried. "Are you in danger?" He asked her.
"No danger." She assured him.
"Then what?" He asked, confused. Alexis stared at him, not wanting to let him down. She didn't want to tell him. She couldn't bare to see that look of disappointment on his face, like the one she had seen on the face of her parents, right before they kicked her out.
"It's complicated." She told him.
I know it's a short chapter, and that the last chapter was too, but I just like having cliffhangers at the end of mychapters, and I wanna keep people guessing and wondering. Hehe, I'm a loser, and I need a life, but that's okay. I hope ya'll liked this chapter, I promise to post the next one faster than I did this one. Just.. Kaysar and.. sigh I wont get into it. hehe.
Please review as always!
