Chapter 2: Meet The Mum
Dimitri was definitely back, and he is definitely doing something that's not work.
My vision blurred and I choked back a sob. I speed walked, almost ran back to my room. I slammed the door shut, and face planted on my bed, letting out sobs that racked my body. I was so thankful then for the sound proof walls in our house, for I don't think I can deal with hearing those two, hearing Dimitri showing attention to someone else.
I hate feeling like this. I used to write this off as a mindless crush. Because no one my age should feel this strongly of someone, and get this heartbroken because of someone. But I guess that's the charm he has on a person. He even unknowingly made me fall for his charms.
That night I cried myself to sleep, when the alarm clock beeped, I felt like I had not gotten a wink of sleep after that. I walked to my bathroom, and nearly fainted at the sight of me. Dried tear marks stained my face, my eyes were puffy and red, with dark circles rimming then. My lips were so swollen it looked like I just did the Kylie Jenner challenge.
I shook my head, and quickly washed my face with freezing cold water. Then I put on my usual make up, but with extra concealer to hide the fact that I had gotten no sleep last night, I brushed my hair down to frame my face, and stalked out of the bathroom.
'Look at what he has done to you!' I scolded myself. It's time for you to get a boyfriend. Someone who will love you just as much, and it won't be a one sided love, like it is now with me and Dimitri. I nodded. Yes. I need to find a boyfriend, and I need to as soon as possible.
To make myself look even a little bit presentable, I decided to wear a cream large oversized sweater, black leather tights, and combat boots. To top that off, I wore it with a thick woollen scarf.
I looked at my appearance and nodded. Not bad. I gave my self thumbs up in encouragement. And walked out the door. I bumped head first into someone. Did we hire a maid? I looked up, and was gobsmacked. Yup. There goes my confidence, straight out the window.
The girl in front of me was definitely no maid. Her body was slim, with large breasts almost popping out of her top. Her bright red hair attracted more attention, too. This was the girl Dimitri was doing last night. No wonder. She is absolutely gorgeous. How will I ever match that?
"Um, Dimitri told me to tell you that me and him will be leaving now. You can make your own breakfast, and he won't be back this afternoon, so find yourself someone to drive home." She said, looking down at me like I'm some kind of vermin. I mean, I know I'm short, but that was just rude.
"Why isn't he going to be here?" I asked, fearing the answer.
"Because he is going to my house. Oh I had forgotten to introduce myself. I am Anastasia, I am an international model, I am Dimitri's girlfriend and soon to be wife." She held out a hand, but I was gobsmacked.
"I mean, he still haven't said the words yet, but we have gone ring shopping and everything, so it will be soon!" She squealed. After she saw that I wasn't going to reply, she rolled her eyes and strutted downstairs. I feel like my heart is being stepped on by her six inch blood red stilettos. I wanted to crumble to the floor. Of course Dimitri would love someone like her. Compared to her, I am plain Jane.
I have dull brown shoulder length hair, compared to her long bright red hair, I have equally dull brown eyes compared to her bright blue eyes, her figure is to die for, while I'm stuck with my kebab flabs, she is much taller than me, while I am just 5'2, and she is older, whereas I am only 17. Which is an obvious advantage to me. I feel my heart drop. So this is the girl Dimitri is ready to settle down with. He's never had a serious girlfriend before, so she must be the one for him.
My nose tingled and I felt slightly weightless. I just want to curl up in bed and eat ice cream and watch Teen Wolf and cry. I walked to school, feeling like a zombie. I had to pretend everything was alright, even though they weren't. Although hanging out with Andre and Aaliyah had got my mind off some f the things. When school passed, my mood was much better.
"Hey Dee, you coming with me to my house, yeah?" Andre said. I nodded.
"Bye guys, see you tomorrow!" Aaliyah gave us both hugs, and skipped over to her current boyfriend. I sighed, they looked so in love. I wish I could be like them. An image of Dimitri popped up in my head, I shook it off. He's not mine, he's Anastasia's. God, even her name sounds exotic.
"Come on, let's go." Andre beckoned. I followed him to his car, and we both got in. Andre has already got his learner's permit and completed his test for a P permit, which allows him to drive by himself. Unfortunately I still haven't began learning because of how over protective Dimitri is. He pulled out of the school parking lot, and sped down towards his house. Soon, we arrived at a large beautiful family home in Mermaid Beach, with the white picket fence and everything. Andre blushed, looking away. We both got out of the car, and started walking up the steps.
"Before we go in, I would just like to warn you. My mum is a hugger." He didn't let me have anytime to register that thought, when he opened the door and shouted "Mum, we're home!" Then, a women, a bit taller than me, came barrelling towards me.
She wrapped me in a tight hug, and whispered in my ears. "You are so gorgeous!" I blushed, and said thank you. She stepped back, and asked Andre "Is she your girlfriend? If she is, I approve!" She winked and smiled widely.
Andre blushed and protested. "We are just friends mum, she is coming over to work on an assignment with me. Mum, this is Delilah. Delilah, this is my mum, Kelly." He gestured and speedily introduced us. "Now, if you'll excuse us, we'll go upstairs to my room." He got behind me and pushed me towards the stairs. I had just enough time to yell out "Nice to meet you Kelly!" Before I was pushed into Andre's room.
Andre's room is- well a typical males room. Posters of half naked girls were up on his walls, his bed unmade and messy. The only thing neat about his room is his desk, which is surprisingly organised. He led me to the desk, and popped our bags down on it.
"Your mum is very friendly." I commented, holding back a grin.
Andre rolled his eyes. "You are lucky I pulled you away before she can start pinching and squishing your cheeks." Andre looked flustered. We both settled down and began taking about the assignment. Time flew by, and I found myself thinking less and less of Dimitri as I spend more and more time with Andre.
Andre's bedroom door opened, and it revealed Kelly standing there, wearing a cupcake apron. "Hey Delilah, you'll stay for dinner right?" She asked.
At first I wanted to refuse, as I didn't want to intrude, but Kelly was looking at me with her puppy dog eyes and I found myself agreeing. Oh what the heck, Dimitri is spending the night away, and I don't wanna eat by myself tonight so why not. "Sure, thanks Kelly!" I smiled.
She cheered and grinned. "Oh I have prepared a beautiful dessert tonight. It's Andre's favourite. I'm sure you'll like it too. Well, I'll leave you guys too it. Come down in twenty minutes!" With that, she closed the door behind her and left.
"Oh god, her chocolate bomb is to die for." Andre groaned, rubbing his stomach. We went back to work, and I turned my phone on to airplane mode seeing as I only had 10% of batteries left. After around twenty minutes, we both went downstairs to the kitchen, and helped Kelly to set the table.

"Thank you for dinner Kelly!" I waved to Andre's little sister and brother as I left the house.
"You are more than welcome sweetie, come back anytime!" Kelly responded, wrapping me in a hug, before letting me go. I smiled and followed Andre to his car.
We both sat in, and he pulled out of the driveway. I gave him directions back to my home. It was already 9:30, so the sky outside is pitch black.
"I had so much fun tonight, Andre. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful family." I told him truthfully.
"Yes, I know. And what my mum said was true, you can come at anytime." Andre smiled at me. I nodded gratefully.
"Oscar and Scarlett are very adorable." I commented. "I always wanted a younger sibling."
"You're an only kid?" Andre asked.
"Yea. Mum and dad passed away before they could give me a sibling." I said sadly.
By now we have already pulled up to my place. Andre placed a comforting hand on my leg. "I'm so sorry."
I shrugged, not wanting to remember the memories. "I was little when I lost them."
"Hey, I'll always be here if you need to talk." I smiled at him thankfully. The air in the car turned awkward, and just when I was about to leave, Andre spoke up.
"I-I really like you, Delilah. Do you think... Maybe we can go out for dinner sometimes?" Andre scratched the back of his neck nervously. I froze.
Yes, Andre is a very nice guy, and also very attractive. Maybe I could accept and see where it goes. "Yes, that'd be nice." I said pleasantly.
"Great! I'll text you about the information then?" He whooped. I giggled at his adorableness.
I nodded, and leaned over and pressed a light kiss on his cheek. I got out of the car, and waved at him. Then I started walking up the steps to my house.
I placed my hand on the door handle, and before I could twist it, the door opened, and a fuming Dimitri stood there. I gulped. Uh oh.
