He's Such A Faker

"Hey man." Bryce's voice filtered from behind her as he came to greet Max at the door and Christina shifted from the door to the side when they shook hands and made her way back to the dinner table without uttering another word. What could she possibly say anyways? That his friend was the one who had assaulted her at the airport. He had made rude and nasty advances at her? Maybe she should just go ahead and tell Bryce that his friend continuously made a pass at her and offered himself up for tasting if she was interested in joining him on his bed. That would be quite a story to share with them over dinner wouldn't it?

Somehow, She couldn't stop thinking about how Bryce was friends with the type of man and the fact that her sister calls him family. Does Hera know about him or was she oblivious to the truth? The more she gave it some thought, the more anxious it made her. "Christina are you okay?" Hera had asked when she noticed how quiet she had become. Usually, she would've been asking a lot of questions by now but she hasn't said more that three statements.

"I'm fine sister." She smiled back at her. "I'm just trying to get used to everything that's all."

Yeah, she was still trying to get used to seeing this so called Max at their house and why he was friends with her sister and brother in-law despite his character.

She was supposed to leavs everything over at the airport. All she wanted, was to forget that he ever existed or that she came in contact with him at one point in her life but who was she kidding? The image of him in the bathroom with that staff was imprinted in her mind and she couldn't shake it off especially now that he was in front of her.

Dinner was served and everyone gathered at the dinner table. Max sat opposite from her at the table and after sharing the grace, they all dug into their plates.

"Thanks for having me over for dinner Hera." Max said feeling grateful. "I missed your cooking a whole lot and i always looked forward to having your meals all the time."

Why does he sound so genuine? Gosh he's such a faker. She thought to herself. Maybe, he was this good in making everyone around him believe that he was some kind of saint. If she hadn't spent the last few hours with him, she would've thought otherwise as well. He's so good at pretending.

She lifted her eyes up from her plate and they both locked eyes momentarily before she looked away. This dinner was beginning to get awkward now.
