13 New Beginning.... { 3 }

As i entered the room i saw everyone was there waiting for me.

"Sorry for the delay." I said looking at Mr. and Mrs. George.

"It's ok," Ryan said immediately and my eyes drifted over to meet his. There was an unknowing affection in his gaze.

I stared at him for a few second, before he got up and helped me to my seat. I felt weird. I felt like I don't belong here with everyone. I never felt so elegant and fancy in my life. My eyes drifted over everyone, I have to shake my head a little to stop the staring.

"Everything is ready to eat!" said Mrs. George.

She snapped her finger's and suddenly all of the maids came in with trays of food in their hand.

"Eat as much as you can, welcome yourself," Mrs. George said and clasped her hands.

I smiled and nodded.

I don't want to be disrespectful anymore. The maiden laid the trays down and I took a good look at the food. They were beautifully arranged and my mouth watered a little. I realized how hungry I was and my memories of this afternoon were forgotten. "Jennifer, Honey, make yourself at home and eat comfortably," said Mr. George, "You didn't even touch the food yet and 2 minutes passed."

I nodded.

"Is it not your kind of appetite?" asked Mr. George and frowned.

"No, no, no, it is, I just don't know what to eat first. Everything seems so delicious." I said.

Everyone laughed. "Just get everything if you like. You have to eat something before eating your medicine." Mr. George said and I started eating.

"Oh, honey, we forgot to tell you," Mrs. George said, "Ryan's brother is coming over, 3 days from now. His name is Cole."

I looked at her nodding my head.

"Yeah, he is coming to stay for a few days, right?" Ryan asked. Mr. George nodded approvingly.

We talked about Cole and about his girlfriend. By the time the dinner was over, I was extremely tired. I bet it was past midnight.

"Don't forget to take your medicine." said Mr. George as he walked up the stairs.

I went to the kitchen and grabbed a cup of water before taking the medicine.

"How was it?" Ryan asked me while following me in the kitchen.

"Great, just so tired," I said, "Now get out of my way, I want to sleep." I dragged my feet which hurt like crazy and force my eyes open, which was hardly opened.

"Need help?" Ryan asked and chuckled at me.

"Hey, stop laughing at me, I am extremely tired." I said and slapped him on the arms.

"Fine, just tell me something, how do I look?" he asked, while climbing up the stairs. I turned at him and looked at him. "They need a lot of help, whoever picked your clothes." I said and dragged along;

Without backing off he again asked "Oh yeah, just tell me directly, how do I look?", while climbing up the stairs. The usual staircase seemed to be extra long right now. Having no option i answered "Desperate". I bet he could see the wicked smile on my face.

"Really?" he asked, sounding as if it was an unexpected answer.

I really didn't mean what I said, but I didn't care.
