All Grown Up, Unique Chapter 2

Mia's POV:

"Thank you, Brooke." I said after she handed me a napkin from the other side of the table. I undid the napkin and placed it on my lap before eating the lovely Chicken Alfredo that she prepared. She nodded her head as to say "you're welcome". Luke put his hand on my knee and made me jump a little. He chuckled to himself.

"Sorry." He whispered still laughing. I rolled my eyes as my cheeks tinted red. Luke moved his hand up and down my right bare leg. I rolled my eyes and tugged my dress down. I tried to focus on what Eli was saying, but Luke kept distracting me. Eli was telling us the plot of the next story he wanted to write. Eli is so creative and he has a huge imagination. Even though I wasn't really listening I knew it would be good.

"What about you, Mia?" Eli asked.

"What?" I said looking up from my plate. I have no idea what he just asked me. Eli laughed at me and I blushed.

"I asked you what you think I should change." Oh shit, I was not listening one bit. Hey, that rhymes. I shook my head a little and tried to recall what Eli said. It was hopeless. I completely zoned out because Luke kept reaching his hand up my dress.

"I, uh, I liked it all. I think it has a lot of potential to be a great story." I pieced together the best I could. Luke chuckled and covered his mouth but removed it and laughed out loud when Eli started laughing at me. I turned red and looked down.

"Sorry, I wasn't really paying attention. Not that your story wasn't interesting I just have a lot on my mind! I'd love to hear it some other time when I am thinking clearly." I explained. Eli nodded his head.

"I'd like that. You helped me a lot on my other story, it would be nice if you did again." Eli smiled and I returned it. Alex snickered.

Alex Oren from middle school was now Eli's "friend". They were working together on a project for a writing class where it is all grades.

Brooke, being the sweetheart she is, asked him to stay for dinner. He didn't bother me as much as he used to because he was pretty much irrelevant to me.

Although, Luke couldn't stand him. Ever since Alex took a interest in me he was on Luke's radar. I'm surprised Luke isn't acting stiff during this dinner. He just kept moving his large hands from my knee to my inner thigh. I shivered when he reached proximity, then glared at him.

"Yeah, like that's what you want her to do." Alex stated, full of sarcasm. What did he just say?

"Excuse me?" I said rudely. I didn't give a shit whether Eli and Luke's 3 younger siblings were sitting to my left, this was not acceptable.

"Oh, don't be so naïve, Mia. Everyone can tell that Eli is infatuated with you." Alex said as if it was a fact. Who the hell does he think he is. "But who can blame him? You are smoking hot." Alex smirked. I wanted to reach across the table and smack the smirk off his face. Brooke and Marcel's eyes went wide.

"I'd stop talking if you want to make it through this dinner." Luke spat at him. Luke's grip on my knee tightened to the point where it was almost hurting. I put my hand on Luke's and rubbed circles on it. His grip loosened but I could tell he was still angry.

"Awe, how cute. Is Luke going to get all jealous and then make out with Mia in front of me? This isn't middle school anymore." Alex teased Luke stood from his chair.

"Do I have permission to beat his ass?" Luke asked through gritted teeth.

"No, Luke. He is a guest." Marcel said the calmest he could. I knew that he was also angry at Alex. Luke sat back down and groaned.
