Chapter 24

''Pass me the salt please'' my mom requested at the dinner table

I did as I was told. We continued to eat in peace and harmony till my brother decided to open his big mouth.

''Hey Bella. I heard you're dating Drew now''

I literally choked on my salad. I glared at him. He smiled in return. The mother fucker knows what he's doing. He even had the nerve to smirk. I am so going to kill you.

''Who's Drew?'' Steve asked

Here we go

''The school's psychopath and most wanted criminal in town. Nice catch sis'' Gerald winked

I think I like Gerald better when he's quiet and socially awkward. I'm already plotting different ways to kill this boy tonight. I closed my eyes and counted to ten. It took all self control I had not to jump on the table and punch him

''Is this true?'' My mum asked

''Yes I am dating someone mom but Gerald is exaggerating. Drew is just misunderstood"

I really hope she doesn't over react. We all know my mom cares about her image more than anything else.

''Isn't he the boy who came here to study with you?'' Steve remembered

''Yes'' I responded

''You've met him?'' My mum asked Steve

''Yeah" he shrugged "He seems like a decent kid'' Steve replied

I smiled. Thank you Steve

''Can't be that decent if he has a bad reputation'' my mom said

I rolled my eyes. Here goes my mother.

''Like Bella said, he may be just misunderstood. You know how society is these days. Looking for all means possible to spoil someone's image''

Preach Steve preach!

''No daughter of mine will date a hooligan'' my mom argued

Gerald smirked evilly as he ate. I glared at him

"Why did you have to open your big fat mouth" I angrily whispered to him

He shrugged nonchalantly

''What? It was boring here''

''Thanks a lot jerk''

''You're welcome darling''

I rolled my eyes.

''Is he rich?'' My mum turned to ask me

''Um....''

I really do not know the answer to that question. I know nothing about Drew's family's financial status. I haven't even been to his house. We just started dating.

''Are his parents anyone important?''

Does that matter?

''His parents are dead from what I heard. He's adopted. He has a foster mom''

''I'm not impressed with what I'm hearing. We're elites. We need to mingle with people of our class. You need someone like Damien''

Damien was my ex boyfriend from France. My mom never liked when we broke up. She always wanted us together.

''Mom I.. ''

She held her hand up signalling me to shut up

''I want to meet him then I can decide if he's good for you''

''I guess that's okay'' Gerald said

''Let's have dinner tomorrow'' Steve said

''Can we shift it to Sunday please" I pleaded "I have plans''

''With who?'' My mom questioned

''Leslie. We may be out late''

Gerald coughed

''I thought you guys were at war'' he said

''We're settled now''

''Wow''

''It's fixed then. I want to meet him Sunday night'' my mom decided

''Yes ma'am"

How on earth could I say no?

**

''Stop''

I giggled as Drew tickled me on the bed.

He sneaked into my room when every one had slept off I love our sneaky forbidden rendezvous. It made everything more fun doing something you know you're not supposed to be doing.

''Nope''

''Please'' I begged

He let go of me. My breath was heavy and my lips were probably still swollen from the intense make out session we had earlier.

We laid in silence just looking at the ceiling

''You're amazing, you know that?'' He kissed my forehead

''Thanks baby. You too''

I hummed as he played with my hair. Enjoying the feeling, I cuddled him closer

'' I heard you and Leslie made up''

''Yup''

''This happened because?''

''She apologized. We talked things out''

''I see''

Silence

''My parents want to meet you Sunday night for dinner'' I blurted out

''What?!''

''What's wrong?''

Why isn't he happy? Does he not want to meet my parents? Is it too soon?

None of this is my fault anyway

''I'm scared'' he said

''Of?''

''Everything. What if they don't like me?''

''Drew look.. ''

''They have to like me. I really like you Bella''

''Drew... ''

''I can't afford to lose you''

"Drew!''

''Sorry .I talk too much when I'm nervous''

''Nobody is losing anyone, okay? Just be on your best behavior. You'll be fine''

''What if that's not enough?''

''Don't stress it, okay?"

He sighed

''If you say so''

''Let's talk about something else'

''Like?''

''My birthday is on the 16th of next month''

''How come you never told me?''

''There was never a reason to''

''What do you want for your birthday?''

''You naked on the bed tied with a red ribbon allowing me to do whatever I want with you'' I batted my eyelashes

He laughed

''Really?''

''Of course''

He leaned down to connect our lips in a kiss

I put my hands in his hair. A moan escaped my mouth when he gently cupped my face in his hands as a means to deepen the kiss. He flipped us over making me on top. I grinded against him as we continued kissing.

His hands touched everywhere; one hand squeezing my butt, the other one roaming. He pulled my top off leaving me in only my bra top and shorts. I grinded against him slowly as he held my hips down.

He groaned in pleasure

''Fuck Bella''

''You like that?''

''Hell Yeah''

I left a trail of kisses from his neck up to his earlobe. It was so soft that I couldn't help but nibble on it.

His moans gave me satisfaction meaning I was doing something right

I connected our lips again in a kiss and the rest was history
