Unexpected Guest

Chapter 3 - Wow!

"Is there something wrong?" Maria asked, sounding concerned.

"No, it's just that I'm so used to sitting on the table." At the same time, sitting on the sofa with my dinner on my hand felt dining and right.

"Well, in this house, we don't believe in sitting in the table in silence. We like to sit together on the sofa, eating together, watch TV and have a laugh." This sounds like a very close family who loves being with comfortable. Not like my family.

Even though I helped her cook, I had no clue what she was cook but after it was made, it looked fucking delicious. It was spaghetti with chopped sausages and tomato sauce, when I tasted, I thought 'Oh my fucking God! "This is amazing." I said still with food in my mouth. "Aww, thank you, but its nothing special." She said with food in her mouth. "It's still amazing."

After 10 minutes of eating and talking, the phone rang and Maria went to answer.

"Hello? Oh hi Jennifer!" It's Mum. I miss her already.

"He's good. He's right here if you want to talk to him." I really wanted to talk to my mum. "Joshua, it's you mum."

She handed me the phone and I went to the kitchen so I can have a little privacy.

"Hi, mum. How are you?"

"Hi honey. I'm fine. How are you? How was your flight? Are you being polite to Ms Marques? Are you settling good?" My mum had each other of questions. But it was funny.

"I'm okay. The flight was good. Yes I'm being polite and yes I'm settling down." I answered all the questions.

"Well the most important question is, do you like London?"

"Yeah, mum, it's everything I thought it would be."

Mum and I spoke for 10 minutes already, my arm was fucking killing me.

"Mu, I gotta go. I'll call you tomorrow, okay? Send my love to everyone."

"Okay I will. One more thing, don't flirt with Ms Marques' daughter." Fucking hell, she knows me too well.

"Don't worry, I won't. Love you mum. Bye!"

It felt great talking to my mum but I should go back to Maria.

Before I went back to the living room, I heard the front door, I thought it might be her husband or boyfriend.

But when I turned around, it was a girl. A cute small girl with hazel eyes, big brown curly hair and a skinny figure.

"Mum, whose this?" Her voice was high and by her attitude, a little bitchy.

"Lu, this is Joshua Turner. The exchange student from New Jersey. He'll be staying with us for 6 months. He's the son of my friend Jennifer. I told you about this last week."

She gave me the look that said, 'What the fuck are you doing here?', but I gave her a friendly smile.

"Hi, I'm Lucia." She greeted me with a cheeky smile.

"I'm Joshua." I greeted back.

"Yeah I know, my mum just said that." Mmm, smart ass.

"Lu, there's some dinner on the fridge with your name on it." Maria told Lucia.

"It's okay mum, I ate with Benji." Lucia told Maria and she smiled.

"I'm going to bed. Goodnight Mum." She gave Maria a hug. "Goodnight Lu" she said back and Lucia headed up the stairs.

I yawned and decided to hit the hay.

"I'm gong to go to bed, too. I had a very long day and I'm kinda jet lagged. Goodnight."

"Goodnight Joshua. Don't mind Lucia. She's 15 and her attitude will change when she gets to know you." I laughed and headed upstairs.

I went to Lucia's room and I was preparing for the worst. Her screaming at me and telling me to get out.

I was getting my bag and saw Lucia in the hallway, but she wasn't coming to the room I was in, but she was going to the Nicki Minaj room.

I got more curious. So I went to the other room and knocked at the door.

"Come in." Lucia said.

But when she saw me, she frowned.

"Look, I'm sorry if you don't like the thought of me living here, but I would like to get to know you."

"You do know I'm only 15?!" Does she really think I'm a peadophile?!

"Not like that! Since we'll be living together for 6 months, it would be a good idea to try and get along."

"You're right. I'm sorry for giving you a hard time. We're not used to a man living in the house ." Jee, I wonder why.

"I understand. Well goodnight." I said silently.

"Goodnight" she said back.

I was heading back but then I was curious about whose room I'm sleeping in of it wasn't Lucia's. So I went back.

"The room I'm sleeping in, whose is it?"

She looked confused at first, but then she understood what I was talking about.

"Oh! That's my older sister's room. She's away but she'll be back soon."

"Oh okay." I closed the door behind me.

I closed the door to Lucia's sister's room and I went to the bed. As I was lying in the bed, I began wondering. How old is she? Is she pretty?

I was drifting off to sleep. Before I was out, the last thing I thought was, would she like me?
