Nerd Of The Year ( Published - Sample Only )

Chapter 14

Xavier's face dropped and I kinda felt bad.

He went to protest when Easton silenced him. "You better leave before your sister returns, Melissa." His tone was firm and commanding. It was like he was telling Xavier instead of Melissa.

"You take Mel out, I'll join you soon," I told Georgy. He seemed reluctant but got her out after I glared at him. I turned back to Xavier and Easton, "So, which car are we going in?"

"Where?" asked Easton.

"My house, silly."

"I'll take my car," Xavier replied. He didn't even wait for my nod, just rushed out. I was still unsure that he wanted to come to my house. Just as I turned, Easton pulled me back. "What are you doing Neveah?" He looked very unsure as if I'm gonna do something to him.

"Xavier wants to come to my house and I formally invited him and you can come if you want to, I promise I won't kick you out." I added with a smirk.

"You will always remind me that I kicked you out, won’t you?" he didn't look angry, just amused.

"Till the day you die. Wait, scratch that. I'll even announce it at your funeral." His face broke out into a big smile.

"Come on, Lady, let us leave."

Me, Easton and Xavier rode in his black BMW. The car was nice, I admit. While Xavier played an awfully loud song on the radio, Easton was playing something on his cellphone while I was looking at the trees passing.

I got a message from Melissa that they have reached my house and that there was no one home. Hmm. So I checked my cell to find the message that Ma sent, saying that she was staying at Brian's house. I called her and informed that there were some people over at home so that she didn't get shocked by the amount of waste that I was sure would be piled up by tomorrow morning.

We got out of the car and I noticed that Georgy did not look happy. I realized that he was being protective of me and I found that quite funny.

I was the last person I thought he would be protective of.

"Come on people, let’s go in." I opened the door and made everyone sit on the seats on the couch and the loveseat in the hall. I went in the kitchen to see if there were any leftovers to feed everyone. Especially the hulking boys!

I opened the door only to come across raw meat and some drinks and juices and, of course, vegetables. I was too tired to make anything, not that I was any good at it! I decided that it was time to order. I took out the juices and the drink cans. I was washing some glasses when I felt someone behind me.

"You really shouldn't bend in such a dress." There, standing behind me, was Easton in his mighty jock glory. He was here the whole time.

"You really should keep your eyes and thoughts to yourself and because you reminded me of my current dressed state, I am going to change, so wash these glasses and take them out along with the drinks." Easton just pouted. "Don't pout and get to work."

"Yes Ma'am."

I went upstairs to change. I put on a t-shirt and knee length Capris, removed the makeup and tied up my hair. Now I felt normal!

I went downstairs and everyone was sitting stiffly.

"Last time I checked, I am not conducting a funeral here." Everyone looked at me.

"What?" I retorted.

"We should do something fun." At last Xavier said something sensible.

Easton and Georgy nodded in approval.
