"The food is great, " Alex said, taking the fork to take another bite. The food actually wasn't that bad. Or maybe it was because he was just very hungry. He wasn't quite sure, but regardless it wasn't what he really here for anyway. Sebastian was starting to irritate him. The  false sense confidence was pathetic, and how he had managed to put up quite a show for his wife. What was worst was that she actually seemed to be buying all this charade. "That's a nice story..."He nodded. Was it even a story? His irritability would not show on his face though though. He would play along for the moment, just like they all were. It felt like one of those TV-shows where the family was together, pretending that everything was alright for the guest.<br/><br/>"Derek? "Alex laughed. "Well that must be a joke. "He shook his head, and feigned a bit of sadness. "I was a bit of a jerk in high school. I'll admit, I treated Derek and Sebby badly, well more Seb." he chuckled a bit. " In fact we had a running joke, that If he got a wife, I would come and steal her." He bit into the shrimp, just as he took another look at Sarah. "Now if I knew his wife was going to be this attractive, I would have come much sooner." He chewed on the shrimp and swallowed. "You've been holding out on me, Seb. Tsk tsk tsk. I thought we had unspoken arrangement..." He grinned.
