Chapter 61 - Tension

I almost attacked Dana for being a bitch earlier. She's going to do everything just to ruin our relationship. And my mom were glancing at us every minute.

The situation is very awkward and this guy beside me was just busy looking at his plate for a while. What shall I do with him?

I don't know what he's thinking. He's not looking at me no matter how many times I've tried. I wanna think of something stupid again but my head was stopping me from doing it.

I know he's over Dana and I believed in him, but he's reaction tells me how stupid his action was!

"So she's your cousin?" Mom broke the silence.

She obviously looks like a pretentious person and I just can't help but to rolled my eyes.

"Yeah. My father and her mother were siblings that's why we have different..last names.." Pierre explained.

"Oh. And your last name was?"

"Griffin.. Pierre Eli Griffin," He looked at my mother.

"Oh.Your name is wonderful, darling!"

"My dad, come up with it," He slightly smiled.

"That's great!"

I flushed a fake smile. Though, Pierre is a nice guy. I don't have any grudge from him and I'm not agains't on having him here, but Dana? I would call every superheroes on avengers just to kick her out of here. Duh?

Her wicked smiles are boiling my blood and the way she stares at Noah, I wanna grab her eyeballs and put it inside her mouth.

Oh God. Eww.

"Want do you wanna eat, Raine?" Noah suddenly speak beside me.

"Oh, you're now alive?" I asked sarcastically.

"S-sorry.."

I rolled my eyes and started to eat. I don't wanna be rude in front of the food so even if I don't have the appetite to eat, I'll just swallow it and think that Dana isn't here.

"What kind of dish is this, Ma'am?" Dana asked. She seems picky as she looked at it.

She doesn't know that food? She's kidding me. Americans loved that food.

"Uhm. That was called Fajitas," Mom smiled at her. Her eyes are also questioning why Dana doesn't know about it.

I chuckled. She's stupid, God!

"Are you laughing at me?" Dana raised her brow.

"Do you think so?" I sarcastically asked.

"Raine.." My mom gave me a warning look.

What? It's her fault, mom! Psh!

"Fine!" I rolled my eyes and continue to eat.

"That was originalize from Spanish but Americans loved it. Try tasting eat, I'm sure you'll gonna like it,"

I watched Dana taste it. I'm sure this bitch will like it, my mom is a great cook.

"You try it too, Pierre," My mom offered it to him.

"Thank you, Ma'am,"

I just watched on how they communicate with each other. It's still unusual to me but I guess I'll have get to used to it.

"Hmm.. Not bad, it taste good," She said while nodding.

Not bad your face.

I rolled my eyes again and this time she caught me. I thought she's going to attack me or even shout at me, but she didn't. She just smirked and her next action surprised me.

"Try this, Noah. You'll gonna like it!" She put some Fajitas on his plate. Noah's also startled to what she did.

This bitch!

How dare she do that in front of us? And in front of my mother?!

"Ah, yeah.. T-thanks.." Noah seems bothered and still shocked by what happened.

I bit my lip as I stare at those Fajitas that was on his plate. I would be happy if he don't taste it. My mom would understand he wouldn't, I just wanna slap those big steaks on Dana's face. God! I hate her!

Everyone remained silent again and Pierre choked so my mom gave him some water. This is nuts!

"Oh, Pierre. Are you okay?" Dana asked in a most ostentatious way.

Fuck! I'm gonna kill this bitch.

"I'm okay. Do you wanna go now?" Pierre asked.

Okay, that's right, Pierre.

"But we're still eating? Don't you think it's too disrespectful if Mrs. Elle cooked all of this and we didn't even finished tasting it all?" She flushed a fake smile.

"T-that's..fine, D-dana.." My mom looks at me.

"Well, it's not for me. I'll gonna taste everything you cooked for us," She winked at her and started to eat.

She's really shameless! And Noah beside me was just staring at the food Dana gave to him. I rolled my eyes and grabbed his plate.

I changed it with mine. His stares didn't bothered me, I know he's shocked to what I did.

Hello? As if I would let him eat what Dana gave him. Over my dead body.

"I don't like my food. I got crave for this when Dana gave it to you. I wanna eat it really really hard!" I said in a meaningful way.

"What if he likes it too?" Dana smirked.

We battled with our eyes. What does she wants? Was her presence isn't enough to ruin my day? Does she have to do this?

"I don't like grilled onions, Dana.." Noah spoke and looked at her.

"I'm sorry, Ma'am," He looked at my mom.

"No. That's fine, Noah," My mom smiles.

I know Dana's question has different meaning a while ago and I want to throw some bullshit words at her and snap her freakin' shitty face. With the way she smirked in front of me, my head is murdering her already.

God. Please forgive me.

"Mom, where's Sebastian and Drake?" I asked.

I just noticed their absence, I thought they're just inside their rooms but until now they're not coming out and I can't hear any noise. I really assumed that they're not there.

And mentioning them would gonna calm me down. That way, Dana will be safe in my hands.

"They said they would going out. I didn't asked where that is.."

"Okay," I nod and started to eat again.

Noah puts some buffalo wings on my plate and it just looked wonderful to me! I love this food. I could eat this forever and I will never get tired of eating it.

"Eat a lot baby, I'll gonna eat you when you don't," He whispered and it just made me giggled.

"You freak!" I laugh and patted his broad shoulder.

He chuckled and arranged those chicken on my plate. He's suddenly sweet, huh?

I watched him served me and it just fluttered my heart. This is the first time he does this in front of others. Specially, my mom..

"You're so sweet, Noah!" My mom looks so happy as she stared at us.

I blushed and smiled back. I felt embarrassed for this but yet, I feel happy.

"Well.." Dana spoke.

We looked at her and her reaction looks bitter. I wanna laugh and gave her my bitchy look but I just contain it. My mom wouldn't like it.

"Noah's really sweet. Even when we're still together, he's always that sweet--"

"DANA!" Noah shouts.

His face looks annoyed with the way he clenched his jaw and fist. I bit my lip as I feel angry too. She's really a bitch.

She looked startled and embarrassment was written on her face. Geez..

"Dana, please don't do something stupid," I heard Pierre pleads to her.

I feel so sorry for him. His cousin gave a bad impression to everyone and I'll be thankful if she won't come back again.

"What did I do so wrong?" She looks irritated.

My heart beats fast to what she said. What the hell? She didn't know what she did? Idiot!

"Let's really go home. I wanna rest too," Pierre grabbed her wrist.

"But--"

"OH, WE HAVE SOME GUEST!" Seb suddenly came. He's smiling and Drake was beside him.

Drake was wearing a black denim jacket and a black slacks while Seb was wearing a white hoodie and a black track pants, his usual outfit. They both looked handsome on it.

My brothers are really handsome whatever clothes they wear and sometimes I was wondering if they're really my brothers. You know, their long and thick eyelashes are really attractive and I have the opposite. I only have a beautiful eyes but my eyelashes are too short, so I have to wear some extension. They have a well-toned skin that I think they got from our father while I have this dry skin.

Ugh! We don't really have a resemblance and it's making me sick in terms of this!

They're also talented and I'm not! They can play any kinds of instrument while I only play guitar. I also forget how to play it since I haven't played for a long time!

Gosh! I'm really lucky that I still have this height. I'm tall as them.

"Where have you been? Why did you dressed so handsomely?" I arched my brow.

They doesn't have any idea of what's happening and it's more okay if they remained clueless about it.

"I'm always handsome, sis!" Seb walked towards me and kissed my head.

Drake shook his head and walked towards me too. He smiles and patted my head.

They're really sweet.

"They're handsome, Mrs. Elle!" Dana's eyes sparked.

Don't give my brother's such snake looks, bitch.

"They all takes it from me," My mom proudly says.

Pierre's eyes turned to me and I don't know why I feel tensed as he gave me those meaningful stares. I can't take my eyes away from him. It's like he's hypnotizing me and I'm afraid that Noah is seeing this..

What now, Raine? What now?
