Last night was...strange? Yup that's the word. My dad was acting all weird but sadly I was grounded. Now I have to be home everyday after volleyball practice. In the bright side Liam is set to be released today.
Niall had told Gwen to tell me that the doctor had said that Liam was good to go home since he had slightly recovered as he slept but that he can't attend school for at least two more days, which is okay since today is Friday.
I saw all the boys at school today, and I have the feeling that Liam had told his mates to come to school. Plus Mrs.Young has asked me to give Liam a stack of homework he will have to complete if he wants to pass her class the semester. Knowing Liam he won't care but I sure as hell will make him do the work.
As I dress for the game tonight (that my father so kindly agreed to let me attend) I await for Coach C to give us instructions. Tonight is a big game verses one of our biggest rivals East Los High. They hate us because one: they think we show off the fact that most of us have money and second: they just don't like us.
Coach C comes in wearing her all to famous red Adidas T-shirt and black jeans. "Well girls if we win tonight, like I know we will, we go to the finals." We all begin to cheer, clapping in glee. "Calm down and get out there and kick some ass."
And that's exactly what we do. Running out to the big gym, cheers roar from the crowd.
The opposing team eye us angrily as we step onto the court opposite them.
The referee blows his whistle starting the game after ten minutes of warm up. All the girls line up and the ball is served to our side.
The game is close by the last five minutes. The opposing team is winning by two points and their starting to get cocky. Playing the ball Gwen Aces the ball earning us two points and we are tied.
We have one play left. They serve the ball to our side and Sophia sets it up, I pass it to Kayla and with one powerful slap to the ball she wins the game for us. We all start to cheer and hug one another like in the movies after the football team wins the championship.
We're going to the finals!! My subconscious yells happily.
"Lesly!" Someone calls from behind me. Turning around I see Liam and the boys.
I feel my smile grow wider just by the sight of him here. "Guys!" In an act of the moment I run up to them and give them a big bear hug. "Oh... Um sorry." I say shyly releasing them.
Liam smiles at me and in an unexpected gesture he warps his good arm around me. He smiles down at me sweetly and I can't help the blush that forms. I look him up and down not wanting to meet his eyes. He's wearing freshly washed clothing. Did he just come out of the hospital?
Looking away from Liam I meet Harry's gaze. Oh. I know for a fact that he wouldn't tell Liam of what had happen between us that time I hadn't talked to Liam. Should I tell him? Are you crazy?! You can't tell Liam. If Harry denies any of it he won't believe you. I frown. My subconscious is right. Liam will take his cousins side. Who am I for him to believe me from blood.
The feel of lips pressing against my forehead bring me back to planet earth. "Hey, what's wrong?" Liam questions. His eyes are filled with uncertainty.
I place my hand on his cheek and smile widely at him. "Nothing is wrong Liam. Why would you think somethings wrong? The team is going to the finals!" I squeal.
"We sure are!" Gwen agrees approaching us; hand and hand with Niall.
"Aye we're all going to eat! You two love birds be joining us?" Niall ask.
Shit. "Um I can't go. Sorry."
Liam frowns and pouts in a way he only is able to. "Why can you come?"
"'Coz I'm grounded and I have to be home right after the game so I gotta go like now. Sorry. Maybe next time." I apologize.
After saying goodbye to everyone in the parking lot, even Liam, I make my way home.
I wish I could join my... friends? Yes, their my friends now. Well I wish I could join my friends but sadly I can't.
Driving home I decide to take a detour to my dads company. Thank god I spot his car in the CEO parking space when I pull up.
Walking in I head up to the top floor, which happens to be the fortieth floor. When the elevator come to a halt on the thirtieth floor a young looking man walks in. He's wearing a navy colored suit with a matching silk tie. He's handsome. He smiles at me as he walks in.
"Um what floor?" I ask him.
"The fortieth." He says politely.
Oh. Same floor.
I look up to be meet by his lovely grey orbs. I have never seen eyes so... intriguing. His smile grows wider, and his all America smile is beautiful. "Daniel." He introduces himself extending his hand.
"Lesly." I shake his hand, soon releasing it.
"Nice name."
"I sure do think so." I chuckle at his attempt at small talk.
He chuckles as well. The elevator finally reaches the top floor and the doors slide open. "I guess I'll see you later. Lesly."
"Daniel." I walk away and head to the lobby outside my dads office. On the desk right on the outside I spot my dads assistant Anastasia. "Hey Ana." I greet her.
She gives my a lovely smile as she stands and gives me a warming hug. "Lesly how nice to see you! You don't come often." She pouts.
"Sorry I've been busy. But guess what, the volleyball team is heading to the finals!" I tell her.
Her brown eyes go wide and so does her smile. "Congrats!"
"I'm pretty excited. I'm planning to tell my dad now. Is he in?" I ask pointing at his door.
"Yup he's there. You can go in he's only reading some documents. I think your brother is with him."
Carlos came to work? "Thank you Ana." I walk to his door and open it. And like Ana had said, Carlos sits across my father his back to me.
My dad is the first to look up and get up from his seat to greet me. "Halo mija." He kisses the top of my head.
Carlos is next to greet me with a big hug. "Hey."
"Hey." I whisper. After what happened last night with Carlos I don't think I can trust him right now.
"¿Porque estas aqu?" My dad ask.
"Porqué I was wondering if you guys want to have dinner tonight to celebrate."
Carlos raises an eyebrow. "Celebrate? Celebrate what?"
I roll my eyes but tell them the exciting news. "The team won. We're going to the finals!"
"Holy shit. Serious? Congrats little sis." Carlos hugs me again. My dad also congregated me. They both agree on dinner tonight and that they will pick up my mother and I at seven.
After departing I head home and tell my mom the news as well. She's happy for me and the girls. She also promised to be at the championship game.
Telling my mother of our dinner plans she gives the okay and I run to my room and get ready.
Taking a quick shower I almost eat it coming out. I blow dry my hair and decide to leave it in it's natural wavy state.
Slipping on a black mini dress that reaches mid thighs and grabbing my black pumps, I head down stairs where my mother is waiting wearing a beautiful grey dress that is a little above her knees. She looks amazing. "Wow. Mom."
"You like it." She turns a full 360° degrees.
I nod. "I love it!" A honk sounds from outside and my mother and I walk outside.
My dad and brother both wait in my fathers black Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
Climbing in we get compliments on our choice of outfits. Pulling out of the drive way my father informs us that we're going to Meyers, the most high class restaurant. It's really expensive there but of course to my father money is no object.
Walking in my father tells the hostess his name and with her bright red lips leads the way to our table. It's really nice here. A big chandelier hangs in the middle of the dining area right below it a lovely white gran piano.
After ordering we all talk about our day. They insist on me telling them how we won the game and I was only to happy to oblige. I told the how Kayla had won it for us and everything.
When our food finally arrived the conversation died a little until Carlos brought up some plan on how to expand Fuentes Enterprise.
Business will be business.
I kindly excuse myself so I can go to the ladies room but before I make it I bump into someone.
I look up and it's the guy from the hospital.
Paul.
