Chapter 32

Athena Lemiere
"Hey my old old man." I greeted my grandfather and he chuckled hearing me caling him that.
"Hello too, Athen Athen Athena." He teased me back and I hugged him tightly.
"Thankyou.. you know for talking to dad about Xander." I said and he nodded.
"I thought you would be against it along with dad." I said and he chuckled.
"Do you think I will let him slide easily? I'm not an easy man, Athena." He said as I linked my arm around him.
"Granny!!" I squealed when I saw my grandmother walking out from the house.
"I miss you!" I hugged her and she giggled.
"Miss you too and I never thought you will come to England." I said and she smirked.
"Oh we have to see our granddaughter once in awhile.. besides I love Brighton." She said and I leaned my head to her shoulder.
"Where is that man?" My grandfather asked.
"Nicholas, he has a name. You kept calling him 'that man' and it's not good. Do you want me to call you 'old man'?" My grandmother scolded him and I chuckled.
"His name is Xander, do you start to forget things again?"
"I am not.. I just hate the sight of him." He said and I rolled my eyes.
"Then why did you tell dad to let him with me? Ugh! Are you on your period?" I hissed.
"He is always on his period, darling." My grandmother said and I laughed.
"I let him because he came to beg me as well. He begged me and your dad a lot of times. He kneeled more than 2 times, Athena" My eyes widened.
"Oh boy."
"He's serious and I can see it in his eyes." He said.
"And I invite him to have dinner with us." My grandmother said and I blinked a few times.
"What? No! This is supposed to be all Lemiere things!" My grandfather said and I shook my head.
"He's going to be a Lemiere soon.."
"I'm so against it!" My dad came into the picture. He kissed my grandmother and hugged my grandfather.
"Whatever." I said and I walked inside the house. I opened the fridge and found the last.. bottle of my favorite yoghurt. I took it but someone took it away from me.
"Chase!" I hissed and Chase ran away with my yoghurt.
"This is the last bottle of yoghurt!" He teased me and I ran faster to get him but he ran out to the garden where my dad and my grandparents were.
"CHASE!" I took a ball and threw it right to the back of his neck. He went down and I kicked his back making him fully lay down on the ground. I took the yoghurt back and I sat on him.
"You will always lose, Chase. I told you that before." My grandfather said and Chase pulled my legs making me fall. I kicked his head and he groaned.
"Got it!" Caleb stole the yoghurt again.
"Granny!"
"Caleb, stop bullying your sister!" My grandmother said and Caleb shrugged. He threw the yoghurt to me.
"Get off me, you pig!" Chase said and I got off him. He got up and I kicked his ass hard until he went down again.
"What are you a hulk?" He hissed but I ignored him.
So what happened earlier was.. my dad and Mr. Redent talked but they still have this hate thing going on so we just let them cool down. Me and Xander separate our ways and I never thought my family will come to London. So I went back to London and stayed in our house. Yes, we have a house in London, of course.
I opened the bottle of yoghurt and drank all of it at once. I laid on the sofa and closed my eyes because I need my sleep.
"Darling.. wake up." I slowly opened my eyes and found my mom waking me up.
"Mom no.. 15 minutes more." I said as I changed my position trying to sleep again.
"Athena, the Redents are coming here in an hour. Don't you have to get ready?" My mom asked and I shook my head.
"Athena, come on. You need to look beautiful when Xander comes." She said as she pulled me up.
"No.. mom.. please.. I need my sleep." I kept closing my eyes until someone sprayed water at me. I opened my eyes and saw Isaac smirking.
"Wake up you lazy ass.. or I will kick that bastard when he comes here." He hissed and I sat up. I got up and walked up to my room. I took a shower and started to dress up. I mean.. not too over. I'm wearing a skirt and a black turtleneck since it's quite chilly at night. I put my makeup on and straightened my hair.
I walked down and sat down in the living room. I played with my phone checking my instagram. Of course, there are still some people who don't like me because I basically cancel the wedding.
I scrolled my timeline and my eyes widened when I saw some news people tagged me. My breath got hitch seeing it. There are photos of me and Xander yesterday in Brighton beach. Oh shit!
Is Xander Redent the reason that Athena Lemiere canceled the wedding?
Redent and Lemiere reuniting?
Is Xander and Athena dating?
Beach date with Redent and Lemiere
Is Athena cheating on Camery with Redent?
All ridiculous news were all over the internet and I didn't even notice. Gosh! Can they just leave me alone? I hate it when they assuming things. There are photos of me and Xander holding hands.
I read the comments and there were supporting comments but mostly hate comments. They think that Xander is theirs. I mean Xander is handsome and hot so they love him like he's an artist when he's just an ordinary guy.. I mean ordinary crazy rich guy.
Suddenly there's a text from Xander.
I'm outside and I'm so nervous.
I jumped from the sofa and ran towards the door. I opened the door and found Xander standing there with a white tee and jeans. He held a lot of flowers on his hands.
"Hey." I smiled.
"Hey beautiful." He smiled but there's a hint of nervousness.
"Come in." I said.
"For you." He gave me one big bouquet of roses and I can't help but smiled big time receiving.
"Thankyou." I said.
"Don't make drag you, Redent. Come in!" I heard my dad said and I gestured Xander to come in. I was going to kiss his cheek but my dad appeared suddenly glaring at me.
"Oh boy." I sighed.
