"The food might be crap though."
He was trying to make me feel better by giving me hope something would suck about the dinner.
He was brilliant.
"So... where is table two?" I murmured a loud.
There were at least fifteen tables that I could see and they were all full with people. They sure managed to get a lot of people here on such short notice.
Rich people.
"The head table for the bridal party is table one, and that's at the head of the room. You will be at the table closest to that."
I turned around to face Alec, my eyes wide. "Why would they seat me so close to them?"
Alec shrugged. "You grew up with Micah, maybe she considers you close to her?"
Yeah, right.
"No way, she wouldn't have me here at all if she got her way. This is Everly and me ma's doin'."
Alec lifted his hand to brush his knuckles against my cheek and said, "It doesn't matter who seated us at that table, let's just go and sit down... Okay?"
I nodded my head and followed closely behind Alec making sure not to look at anyone seated at the tables we passed. I swallowed nervously when we reached our table and noticed every person at the table was an immediate member of Jason's family.
Oh, fuck me.
"Hello Keela, you look lovely," Jason's father, Mr. Bane said as he stood up to greet me.
I think Mr. Bane was the only genuine member of the Bane family.
"Hello Mr. Bane, it's lovely to see you again." I smiled as I shook his hand.
I then gestured to Alec. "This is Alec Slater, me boyfriend."
"Nice to meet you, sir," Alec said as he shook Mr. Bane's hand.
"And you, son. These are my daughter's Krista, and Koda, and my son Jonathan. My wife will be along in a moment, she is in the restroom."
Jason's bitchy sisters were the first to jump up and greet Alec and not with handshakes either, those sluts went in for hugs.
"Nice to me you both." Alec smiled then turned to Jonathan when he stood up. "Nice to meet you, bro."
Jonathan just smiled as he shook Alec's hand.
Alec turned to Koda when she complimented his hair.
I wanted to listen to what she was saying to him, but Jonathan touched my arm, getting my attention.
"Hey Keela," he said, and gave me a hug which was very shocking because I knew Jonathan hated me.
I was about to say hey back to him when he put his mouth by my ear and whispered, "It's nice to have a shameless slut at the weddin'. Can I count on you to spread your legs if I don't get lucky with any decent women tonight?"
The nerve of him!
"Go fuck yourself!" I growled, and promptly pulled back from the hug.
Jonathan only grinned at me as he retook his seat.
I brightly smiled to Alec when he looked at me, he watched me for a moment before he pulled out my chair that was right next to Jonathan. I badly wanted to ask Alec to switch with me, but it would have been rude so I bit the bullet and sat down next to Jonathan. Alec took his seat next to me and smiled to everyone.
"I'm glad you're all dressed casual, we were a little worried about it... and by we I mean Keela."
Mr. Bane chuckled. "Shorts and t-shirts are all I can wear over here, it's too bloody hot for anythin' else."
Alec chuckled, and I smiled.
I looked down to the menu just to avoid having to converse with anyone at the table. It didn't matter that I was silent though because Alec wouldn't shut up. I glanced up and noticed he had Mr. Bane chuckling, Jonathan asking questions, Krista staring, and Koda drooling.
It really looked like the girl was drooling.
Just... ew.
"Knacker," I muttered.
"What was that Keela?" Jonathan asked.
I looked up at him, then the rest of the table and found everyone's eyes on me.
I nervously laughed. "I said I'm knackered. Must be the heat gettin' to me."
Alec leaned over and put his hand on my back. "You okay?"
I nodded. "I'm fine."
He stared at me for a moment before he straightened himself back up and looked down at his menu. A few minutes passed when the waiter came by to take our table's order. Alec ordered something that had steak in it so I got the same, simply because I didn't understand what the rest of the food on the menu was. The names were too fancy for me to know what the hell I would be ordering.
"Steak is in what we ordered, right? I heard you say steak."
Alec looked at me and nodded. "Yeah it's steak, mashed potatoes, vegetables, and gravy."
"Oh thank God," I said and breathed a sigh of relief. "I didn't know what any of the names meant. I just heard you say steak and got the same."
Alec laughed. "You’re so cute."
I narrowed my eyes at him. "Every time you call me cute playboy, I will bite you."
Alec looked me dead in the eye and said, "You're a cutie-mac-cute face, cutie pie."
I couldn't keep down the burst of laughter that erupted from me. I quickly put my head down against Alec's shoulder until I was sure my face wasn't red anymore.
"I'm sorry, he made me laugh," I said when I showed my face to the table.
Alec and Mr. Bane were chuckling, while Kirsta and Koda were giving me dirty looks. Jonathan, the nasty son of a bitch was just smirking at me. I didn't realise why until I felt something brush up against my left leg. I looked at Jonathan who was now talking to his father. I knew it was him touching me with his foot because Alec was on the opposite side of me.
I moved my legs away from Jonathan, but bumped them into Alec making him jump a little.
"You okay?" he murmured.
For a spilt second I wanted to tell him what Jonathan said to me and that he was trying to play footsies with me under the table. I didn't know how he would react and because I did not want any attention on us I smiled and said, "Fine, I just want to be close to you."
