Roommates

Chapter 41

How is it that time goes by so fast? I swear it's like time is just a-

"Alex! Can you turn the TV down?" I yelled as the sound of screaming and gunshots went off. I have no clue what he's watching, but I've been trying to figure it out for the past few hours now.

"Yeah, yeah you have been asking me for the past 30 minutes. " He replied from the living room.

"Maybe actually do it for once then!" I rolled my eyes. I am going to strangle him one day.

"I turn it down every time."

" I need to study Alex and the sound of people killing other people isn't helping." He walked to my doorway.

"Fine but only if you go out with me one of these days." I sighed.

"Like a real date?" He nodded. "Fine." I sighed.

"Great I'll pick you up soon."

"We live together."

"Exactly. So you got plans for thanksgiving?" Alex asked.

"Uh not sure it's either go to a family gathering with my crazy aunt Wendy or stay here," I said not looking up from my notes.

"So I am guessing you want to stay here" He responded.

"Yep," I said.

"Cool." He said and stayed standing there, not saying anything.

"Ok, what do you want?" I asked.

"Me wanting something? Why would I need something?"

"Yes, you. You say words you would never use when you want something. Such as 'cool'" I explained.

"You know me too well. It's creepy."

"What do you want?" I asked again.

"My family is having a party, and my mom and dad want to meet you." He said. "Since I met your mom and all."

"Ok I'll go I have nothing else to do," I shrugged and went back to studying. Well, I thought I could, but he started talking again.

"Great we leave tomorrow at 9." He walked out without letting me answer. And he closed the door behind him.

I sighed and looked back at my notes. I put them all away because I know I will probably get interrupted again. I walked to the door, and heard Alex talking. I didn't open the door though.

"Yes mom I know....yes she is coming....yeah around noon....you better not embarrass me... and you know about my cousins...I know that but you know Charlie....ok bye I have to go....yeah love you..." 

I waited a few minutes and then walked out like I heard nothing. I went to the kitchen and looked for more food. Sadly found nothing.

"So Lana just to warn you my house gets crazy with all my little cousins and all that," Alex warned.

"Ok I'm used to it but thanks for the heads up. Does your family have any dress code? Cause I don't want to look like a whore to your family" I asked.

"Nah but nothing too revealing. My mom and dad would give you a lecture about how they used to dress when they were your age." He said and I nodded.

"Ok, I won't pack anything of that I'll wear that here," I said. Honestly, I'm in it for the food. Let's hope they season their turkey.

Next morning

"Lana are you ready?" I heard Alex yell from the kitchen

"Yeah I am coming I just had to change my shirt," I said. I put on a nice conservative-ish outfit. Fit for thanksgiving and all.
