《Boyfriend for Christmas》Chapter 9....
Advertisement
The next three days flew by. Between two sudden work projects, I hadn't had much time to talk to Knox. We've been texting back and forth a bit but the two of us have been too busy to really talk about the upcoming trip to my home town. We leave tomorrow and there was still so much to do.
"Excited to go home tomorrow?" Leah asked, laying on my bed with her feet up against my headboard. She was suppose to be helping me pack but ever since she got here an hour ago she hasn't moved.
"Yeah and no."
"Do you and Knox have your story down?" Despite the fact that she couldn't see me I shrugged. Moving from my closet to the suitcase on my bed I answered.
"Yeah somewhat. We haven't really had time to get all the details down but enough to hopefully pass the whole thing off."
"Think your mom will see through it?" Leah questioned.
"I hope not. But its only for a few days. And with Knox's sister Olivia coming it should take some of the pressure off."
"Another girl to spoil, yeah your mom will be too occupied to notice the whole fake boyfriend thing." Thats what I was hoping will happen.
My mom was one of those moms that took everyone in. Whenever I brought friends over in high school she treated them like they were her own kids. With it just being me and my two older brothers Jackson and Lucas, my mom was always looking for another girl to spoil. So I had no doubt that my mom will have a blast with Olivia tagging along.
"Are you and Oliver heading to your parents this year?" I asked, folding the clothes I decided on packing. It mostly consisted of jeans and thick sweaters.

"Our parents are actually coming here for Christmas." I stopped my folding and looked over at her.
"Oh? Thats a first."
"Yeah they've never wanted to come here before and they decided last minute." She sounded a little annoyed which made a smile appear on my face. Thankfully she couldn't see my face cause I was certain she'd know I was hiding something.
Little did Leah know why both her and Oliver's parents were coming this Christmas. Oliver had a wonderful surprise for her this year. About a week ago Oliver asked me to go ring shopping with him on our lunch hours.
Keeping a huge secret like this from Leah has been hard but I know for a fact she will be surprised on Christmas day. I hated that I wasn't going to be there but Oliver promised there would be tons of pictures for me to see.
Everything was set up for the big proposal and I just hoped Leah didn't suddenly clue in why their folks are coming this year when they never have before.
"That won't be too bad. At least your parents get along with Oliver's." I supplied.
"Yeah." She mumbled. "Are you guys taking his car?" I paused mid-motion at her words.
"Shit." I hadn't thought about that. I doubt my mini cooper could fit all three of us and our luggage.
"Forgot to ask huh?"
"I've been so busy with work that I completely forgot. Damn it."
"You really didn't think this whole plan through did you?" Leah teased, leaning her head back to grin at me.
"Oh shut it." I muttered, leaving my room in search of my phone.
While waiting for Knox to answer his phone I made my way back to my room to finish packing. I found Leah in the same position but this time leafing through a magazine I had no clue I even had.

"Hello?" Knox answered, sounding a bit out of breath.
"Hey Knox."
"Oh hi." He sounded distracted so I decided to make this quick.
"You sound busy so I'll just quickly ask...can we take your car tomorrow?"
"We can't take yours?" He paused for a second.
"Well I drive a mini cooper and I doubt it will fit the three of us and luggage for two hours." I nibbled on my bottom lip as I waited for him to answer. Here I was asking Knox for another favor, great.
Knox was quiet for a moment before he finally answered.
"We can take my truck."
"I'll pay for the gas I swear."
"Its not a big deal." I could practically see him shrugging. "Did you want us to pick you up tomorrow or met us at my house?"
"I'm fine with either one. Which ever is easiest."
"I'll pick you up at..." He trailed off.
"11:30-Noon?"
"Sounds good."
"I better let you go. Thanks again." Ending the call I turned around to find Leah sitting crossed leg on my bed staring at me with a creepy grin. "What?" I questioned.
"Nothing. Nothing at all." The look on her face unnerved me but I shrugged it off and got back to packing.
