Her grandmother likes him

After she got what her dad asked of her, Rex drove her home though she denied his assistance.

Throughout her journey, she ignored the fact that she was heading home without her car and that she will be scolded by her dad. However, she kept marveling why Rex seemed so nice to her to the extent of proposing to drive her home.

Because of her silence, Rex's wondered what was running through her mind. Well, he knows her to be talkative so, it was strange for him to see her so calm.

He didn't want to question her timidity because he was not prepared to carry on any fight.

Firstly, he is the leader of his gang. And yes, she doesn't know about it. So, he has things to sort out at school about some bad groups of boys and girls who keep harassing new students on the campus and spoiling the schools' name by joining forces with another bad group of gangs from different institutes.

As a leader, he has to make sure all these manipulations disorders stop before it spreads beyond control. That is why he cannot afford to get into a fight with her with he has all these going through his mind.

They arrived at the driveway and she hooped out unto the pavement with a grin of gratitude. She didn't notice his follow until she stepped into her house.

It was already too late to drive him away when her grandma exclaimed

“Who is this handsome young man you brought home!?”

Walking towards Rex, her grandma gave him a soft gaze and, extended her hand to touch his cheek.

He humbly gave into her touch by lowering his head.

“I am Rex” he replied

“Amanda’s Friend” he added

“Really! Just friends?! Amanda has never confined me about you. I doubt you are just friends” What an irony her grandma commented. Amanda's eyes almost bulge out at her statement while Rex chuckled

“Excuse my manners. I have not officially introduced myself. I am granny Judith, Amanda’s grandma. The mom to her Dad.”

“Yeah. I heard of you from her. Nice meeting you” he complimented

“Uhh-” Amanda tried speaking for the first time since they got in but her words were caught by her grandmom.

“Oh really! Meaning she must like you a lot. She doesn't talk about me to just anybody. I'm a gem to her eyes. I guess she doesn't mind you stealing me from her. But trust me… you have already had me in your cage because you are the most adorable young man I have come across after my late husband”

“OK. That is enough-” Amanda was silenced by Rex this time around.

“Thank you. I appreciate. And… sorry for your loss.”

“That's ok. I believe wherever he is, he will be happy to meet you. I hope this friendship upgrade soon” Amanda doesn't make it this time

“Grandma!! Could you please not embarrass me for once… just once I plead”

“Do not mind her. She always scolds me like this” her grandma reported to Rex and he played along like he was shocked and embarrassed at the same time.

“What!? NO!” she disagrees instantly 

“Here you are doing it again” Rex complimented and Amanda rolled her head towards him so quick with a frantic stare.

“Just SHUT UP!” She yelled

“Oh My God! Baby what is going on here?” her dad questioned walking down the stairs towards their direction.

“I keep hearing your voice from my office. Are you alright?” he added

Everyone was silent. She turned facing her dad, just as his eyes met that of Rex. He kept looking at the side to see who he was. His face looked familiar. 

He was stunned by his view but there was something more. He kept searching to discern if he was what he didn't want to think of.

“Uhh…Dad, meet…” she angled her head to look at Rex then back to her dad she continued

“Rex. He is… the guy I was talking to you about” she whispered her last comments to her dad.
