Chereads / Modern Family: Reborn / Chapter 5 - First Meeting

Chapter 5 - First Meeting

(Alex's Pov) 

Walking towards the door of the most intelligent person on the planet I cant help but get nervous about how this meeting would go. I wonder what he looks like as theres few pictures of him online and what's his personality like? Can we even be friends? 

Now as my Father rings the doorbell my hear begins to race and then it opens to reveal what is a human carved out of marble with a bronze hue skin, wavey black hair, deep green eyes which peer through my soul and the jawline that could cut diamonds. His black muscle shirt shows off his clearly trained physique and i cant help but look away so I don't get caught staring and hide the blush on my face.

(Mc's Pov)

(Phil) "so you only have to sign these two things, it mostly just boilerplate saying that everything has been completed"

(Mc) "Thanks I'll just read through this and you can help yourself to some coffee and Croissants I made earlier"

mmm its strange talking to person I once saw on a tv show come alive but at least I know this is real unlike those Mc in novels that see everything as fake.

"Ahh thanks A-dude I'll get right on that" Phil then realises he brought his daughter with him.

"This is my youngest daughter Alex Dunphy and she's a bit of a smarty-pants herself" Phil introduces 

"Its n-nice to meet you" Alex stutters and I can't help but think its a little cute that she does so. 

"No need to be nervous, we're the same age, just call me Atlas" I smile at her and put my hand out. she grabs my hand and she's very soft but theres traces of calloses in the pattern one has when playing instruments and she blushes upon contact. 

'his hands are rough and firm' Alex thinks

"Nice to meet you atlas" she says with a smile 

"you know are you really 12 because you look a bit older than that?" she asks with curiosity. 

"Ahh well good genetics, exercise and healthy diet makes me look like this" is say with a smirk and she smiles and tucks a hair behind her ear. 

"So what are you doing for school A-man" Phil suddenly says making me and Alex jump and we stare at him with having a Croissant in his mouth.

"Mmm well I have to attend school until I'm 16 according to my Visa but seen as though I completed all the tests up until University level in England I only have to take the ones pertaining to American history here. so ill be entering grade 9"

Alex looks surprised as she clearly wasn't expecting to have me in her school.

"Ahh thats great Alex is in grade 9 right now so you'll be able to be together" Phil says with a laugh.

"That'll be great I could show you around there and we can hang around at school" then she says hurriedly " But only if you want too" 

I cant help but smile at her nervousness but say with a soft smile that makes her blush "I'd love to have your company Alex" 

{Sir your takeout is here} Michael says ruining the moment.

"Haaahhh thank you Michael just tell him to put it in the delivery tube" 

{ok sir} then a couple of seconds later on the middle of the island in the kitchen it opens up and the bag of takeout is there.

"What just happened?" Phil says with his mouth wide open and Alex looks like she's seen a ghost.

"Ahh that was a movement system I had implemented in the house where it can go to any room. it also works with robotic arms as well so I don't have to do any housework. Show them Michael" as I say that several arms come out seamlessness from places and start to clean up and unpack the food into some plates for me.

"Woahh" Phil looks like he's in heaven and even Alex has a befuddles look on her face. The arms recede after doing the work.

"Y-y-you have an ai? But I thought that technology was decades away? did you create it? can you teach me?" she keeps asking question and eventually stands just a few centimetres from my face and starts to realise what she's doing and then steps back with a blush on her face.

I can't help but grin as she says all that.

"Yes, I'm just better, yes and maybe but I don't think a parent wants their kids around unattended at a boys house you know" and with this she blushes even more and humphs and turns. 

"Wow" Phil says eventually coming out of his stupor "I wish I could live hear can I take one?" 

I laugh at his words humorously and say "unfortunately I can't give them too you as the cost to run these things and maintain them are in the millions you know? but I am working on a Droid figure like from the star wars movie. How about I show you when I've done. and maybe *whisper* a lightsabre battle."

Phil looks like I've just shown him heaven and I can see him wanting to hug me but he probably knows its inappropriate so he says. 

"Deal! No takeback!" and I laugh at his words. 

"Well it was nice meeting you both and I need to eat my dinner and ill see you on next Monday alright Alex" I say with a soft smile she reciprocates and Phil says 

"I'll talk to Claire to see if we can invite you to dinner sometime we'd love to have you over" he says with a hand out and I shake it and say 

"That'd be lovely, you've got my number so just message me the details and I'll see you soon" 

"it's a date" Phil says jokingly and I laugh with hi.

(Scene Change) ( Phil pov) 

I walk into the house and I still cant get over the meeting with Atlas and the cool robot arms and AI he had. 

Claire "Honey, what's wrong"

"Nothing I just wish we had robot arms and butler in our house" and I sigh sadly.

Claire just looks at me confused and says "what."

I then start to tell her everything that happened when I went to meet the boy and what we saw and by end of it she was just as surprised as I was with her mouth agape. 

"Alex sweetie was everything your father said true?" Claire asks in disbelief.

"Alex?" she repeats again as Alex is staring into space then realising we spoke to her.

"Y-yes mom?" then Claire asks if everything what I said what true and Alex says dreamily.

"Yeh he's amazing" 

Now Claire has a worried look on her face as she wonders if her daughter is smitten with the boy.

"What about his parents did you meet them?" Claire changes the subject and asks 

Now I'm wondering why I didn't see them there. Then Alex answers in a depressing mood.

"He doesn't have any parents" she says quietly.

What? 

"What do you mean by that sweetie?" Claire asks confusingly.

"Didn't you read anything about him? well from the people who researched him he came from slightly wealthy parents and they were killed in front of him in a robbery when he was 4 and then he used that inheritance to invest in the stock market to earn more money and create apps, set up a company and rose to fame from there and created inventions for all fields he enterers bringing it forward years ahead of its time...…" she continues to ramble on of everything she knew finishing with "...it was only a year ago when he became a billionaire and his legal guardian died and he was emancipated and no one knows what happened since then" 

Wow to think a kid had to go through so much at a young age and was still able to become as successful as he is. and now he has no one huh, he must be lonely. I turn to my wife and I see she's feeling sympathy for the kid as well and so I decide to be help him.

"Hey honey is it alright if we invite him for dinner one weekend?" I ask but with a more serious and sad tone. 

As if she through sees me she gives a warm knowing smile and says "Of course"

(Scene change) (Mc pov)

I really like this new bed I made, a great use of my intelligence, its like sleeping on a piece of heaven.

But as I lay down ready to go to sleep I cant help but think about my first meeting with the 2 Dunphy's.

They were fun and easily to get along with but Alex is what is on my mind the most.

She looked exactly like ariel winters from my old world and she was cute. But I cant help but think about the future version of Alex and how unlucky she was even though she tried so hard. 

I'll try to be her friend. She could use an outlet for her stressful studying and I could tutor her better than any teachers. 

Lets get to sleep first though.
