The rest of the table laughed at the scene, from what I could see. I could not bring myself to look at Stone's face although I could hear his husky chuckle.
Brennan put the thumbs up at the boy on my lap in praise and then asked, "What else did she say?"
Before Charlie could answer, I planted my hand on his mouth to stop him from speaking.
It was not like I told him anything else that could humiliate me, but I was not prepared to risk it. I reached over and took a burger from the pile and replaced my hand on his face with it.
Thankfully he chewed happily away and did not answer Brennan.
I quickly glanced at Stone who was watching me like a hawk.
Once he saw that I was paying attention to him, he leaned to the side and closer to my seat as he spoke "How does the kid get a confession out of you, and I do not?"
"You know that I like you." I admitted again as my gaze fell to the ground "I have already told you that."
He smirked and he built up his teasing tone when he added a really to his sentence "You never told me that you really, really, really really, really liked me."
"I only said really four times. Not five." I corrected him before I crossed my arms over my chest "At this moment in time, I do not like you at all Lurch."
He shook his head with triumph etched all over his handsomely striking features
Just when I thought I had escaped being humiliated any further, Mr Armstrong took the opportunity to prove me wrong as he voiced "I had been wondering where I had heard Lurch before."
"What?" I said as I pretended not to know what he was talking about.
Lana's father asked, "Was Lurch not the guy in that movie that you had a crush on when you were little?"
"I-I have no idea what you are talking about." I countered back with.
Mr Armstrong being oblivious to my hand signals telling him to shut up continued to talk "You were about twelve at the time. You came around here all the time and watched The Addams Family almost every day. You would say every time Lurch came on the screen that he was your favourite character."
Lana, my now ex-best friend, added to her father's statement "Oh my god. You are right."
I glared at her.
"Ella always said that Lurch was pretty cool because he looked scary but was actually nice and that his silence was pretty mysterious and sexy." She spoke to everyone.
My eyes widened and I quickly stuttered out a fib "I don’t remember that. You both are just making this up."
The whole table looked amused. That included Stone who had a small smile of satisfaction on his lip.
