14- Dinner

I breathe the scent of delicious foods. Boy, I am hungry. The table was now filled with foods and I stopped myself from pouncing on them just now. Ken and Mr. Smith was about to get some lasagna when Mrs. Smith cleared her throat and glared at the two.

"We must pray first. Ken, lead the prayer" Mrs. Smith announced gesturing for Ken to start. They all closed their eyes and i did the same to pray and also to block my view of the foods because i only have a thread of resistance on pouncing on them. Ken started the prayer and I opened my right eye to peek at them. Ken and Mrs. Smith was praying heartily while Mr. Smith sneaks out his hand to get a chunk of food and munched on it. I smiled at this. They are a perfect happy family. I wish i can stay here.

When the prayer was done. Mr. Smith and Ken raced to get some foods and i laughed at this. They looked like they were having an eating contest.

"Sorry for their behaviour, Daniella. They are just like that" Mrs. Smith sighed, as she looked at her husband and son.

"No, it's okay Mrs. Smith" i chuckled while still looking amusingly at Ken.

"You can just call me Sheena, dear. Now help yourself" Mrs. Smit---er, Sheena motioned to the foods.

I nodded and grinned as i stared at the foods. Finally.

"You don't know how thrilled I am when Ken called and informed me that you'll come here" Sheena suddenly says and i stopped eating to listen.

"Yeah. She was jumping and sprinting around the house cleaning it and was rushing over what to cook and if it tasted nice she wouldn't even let me touch the foods" Mr. Smith grinned. Sheena smiled shyly at me.My heart swell upon hearing this.

"Thank you, Sheena for all of this. The foods are very delicious" i complemented as i flashed her a genuine smile. Sheena's face lit up and smiled wider.

"Really?" She asked. I nodded and continued eating my food. I looked at Ken who was silent all the time and knew why. He munched on his food like there was no tomorrow. There were stains of food in the side of his mouth and i couldn't help but smile. He must've felt my stare as he looked up at me. His eyes widens and his face turned crimson red. He quickly wiped the side of his mouth with a napkin. I shook my head and let out a small chuckle.

I stared at Sheena and Mr. Smith who was eating their foods and smiled at me. I don't even know if i deserve this kind of hospitality. Why are they treating me nicely? Do they not notice my heavily tattooed body? My piercings?

"Um. Excuse me, Sheena and Mr. Smith. But i really want to know. Are you not afraid or intimidated or bothered of me? You know, with all these tattoos and piercings?" I asked not being able to hold my curiousity as i gesture to my tattoos and piercings. They both stare at me for a second then smiled.

"Well, at first. But we felt that you're nice and that Ken trusted you so we did. And about your piercing and tattooes; it really don't bother us. We know that it is your way of expressing yourself and we respect that" Sheena explains and i couldn't help but smile. Finally, someone who understands me other than Diego.

"I, myself, also want to have a tattoo someday in my chest and please do call me Clark" Mr. Smith--i mean Clark informs.

"And what tattoo would that be?" Sheena quirked her eyebrows as he looked at Clark.

"Your name of course" Clark answered smiling sweetly at Sheena.
"Oh, honey" Sheena practically swooned as she looked at Clark lovingly.

"Guys, get a room" Ken coughed and cleared his throat. Sheena snapped her head towards him and smirked.

"You know what? I think tonight is your turn to wash the dishes" Sheena grinned and Ken's face fell.

"Mom! It is not!" Ken whined looking mournfully at all the dishes in the table. Sheena just shook her head.

"Yes it is. Now, go on. Clean the table and wash the dishes because we're all done" Sheena gestured to the table.

"But it's getting late. I have to tutor Daniella now" Ken looked at me hopefully.

"No, it's okay with me. It's still early" I shook my head and Ken's face fell. I gulped on my juice and got to my feet.

"Noooooooo!" Ken whined.

"Oh shut up. Come, Daniella let's go to the living room" Sheena says as she guided me to the living room. Clark follows behind us and stuck his tongue out at his son who was still wailing. I rolled my eyes. Drama queen.

"Now, I'm going to show you some of Ken's childhood pictures" Sheena whispers in my ear and i grinned.
