Enchanted

anxieties

Before I left I went to find Bella and asked her if she wanted to go out with me tomorrow for a drink or something.

She looked very tired and stressed which I didn't like, so I thought I would be nice and take her out tomorrow for abit.

Demitri is driving to the office for a meeting again. I let him drive since I can't be bothered.

I'm nervous for tomorrow but also excited.

"So, where you gonna take her?" Demitri says. I told him all about it, were brothers after all.

"Into town" I say and he nods.

"What about the paparazi?" He asks..I forgot about them.

"She's too innocent to know our world, I'll just tell her we're ceo bosses of a company" I say and he nods understanding.

We arrive at the place and I take a deep breath. I hate meetings.

We get out the car and go into the main doors, we greet the receptionist and make our way to the floor the meeting is held on.

Once the elevator pings the doors open, we step and go to the door.

We knock and hear a come in. I don't care who I am, mafia Don or not, its always polite to knock.

"Boys your late, again" our dad Says and I see Demitri roll his eyes.

"We had work remember" he says and my dad nods.

"So, I have an update on the Scottish" our dad Says as we sit down. I look around and see more Girls than Last time.

Not to mention that their staring at me and Demitri.

I feel the self consciousness kick in and look away fidgeting with my fingers.

"Go on" Demitri says. No one knows about how bad my anxiety gets when I'm in the spot light.

I think I need to tell Demitri, he might understand. Right?

The meeting goes on for an hour and we make our way home.

"Demitri, can I talk to you?" I ask as he drives at a normal speed down a road that goes on forever.

"Yeah" he says, I think in my head is this a good idea?

"You know the times when I don't act myself when ever I'm put under the spot light or when people look at me" I say and he hums nodding his head.

"M-my anxiety is getting worse, almost like its winning me over" I say quietly.

"I'm always gonna be there for you, whenever you feel how you do when it happens tell me and I'll help you" he says and I smile.

"Do you think it will get better?" I ask and he shrugs.

"I'm not sure but I do know I'll always have your back. Are you telling mom and dad?" He asks and I think about it for a moment.

"No. I don't want to disappoint them" I say quietly.

"Lucas you won't disappoint them. You matter more than fucking money" he says and I nod my head.

"I love you bro" he says and ruffles my hair whiles one hand is on the steering wheel.

"I love you to lil bro" I say and be scoffs. He won't admit he's the little brother when he is.

We arrive and home and i get a message, I look at my phone as we walk through the door.

I smile when I see its from Arabella. Her name is so beautiful like her self.

"What are you smiling at?" My mom says as she comes and greets us.

Dad was behind following us so, he will walk through the door any minute.

"Nothing" I say a little too quickly. Nice move Lucas.

"His girlfriend" Demitri snorts out.

"She's not my girlfriend Demitri she's my friend" I say seriously and look at my phone to actually read what she put.

'Hey Lucas, what should I wear tomorrow? I don't want to go out in my yard clothes because they stink 😵‍💫' it reads making me chuckle.

"Friend huh" my mom says and I roll my eyes.

My dad walks in and gives mom a kiss before walking up to his office.

"Boys can you do me a favour" mom asks and we nod our heads.

I quickly replie to Bella saying anything she's comfortable wearing.

"Can you run into town and grab all these things off this list, I will give you the money" she says and we nod.

"We will pay" Demitri says and my mom frowns.

"I don't want to use your money" she says and he scoffs.

"Mama you've payed for us when we were little so it's only fair and it won't effect our account" he says and leans in to kiss her cheek.

Demitri has always been a moms boy. I simply am a nobody's boy. I feel like it's mean and plus dad wasn't like how he is now.

We grab the list of mom and head out the door.
