Eve listened to me as I sobbed and talked about what happened during the movie night, at the place he took me and how he was caring. Then I explained what I saw when I decided to follow him.
"You can definitely slap or punch me in the face because you had warned me."
Eve gives a brief smile, "I wont do because at the end of the it all, the heart as a mind of its own and we are bound to make mistakes."
"I felt it Eve, our time during the movie, I felt the spark and I was sure it was okay, not knowing.."
"We can feel sparks, we will feel sparks because we are emotional beings an are human but reality is more than just a spark or chemistry Neese, there is the character of the person involved. I one heard a quote, it said that love doesn't hurt, loving the wrong person does. So the thing is we are bound to fall in love, even loving the wrong people but that should not break us."
I hug her. tightly
"Just so know I will slap you if I see run back to him again."
"I think you should." I force a laugh
"Matt and Quin have tried reaching out to you but I told them you ha to take care of some family stuff and that you are not too wee."
"Yeah, tomorrow should wrap up the events."
"Hang in there, it gets better with time."

I try everything that I can to hide from Josh. Eve promised to be by my side as we watched the people participate in the games. Some were doing soccer, others sprint races , chess and some did egg races. It was beautiful to watch, seeing how everyone was laid back and carefree. The kids laughing and severing the moment.
"Don't panic, his coming." Eve says holding my hand.
We both watch Josh walk towards us with a smile on his face.
"Hi Eve."
But Eve just rolls her eyes and ignores him. Josh reaches for my left cheek to touch it but I push his hand away.
"Neese , what's wrong?" He asks
"Please, just stay away from me." I reply
His face turns concerned.
"What happened?"
"I should be asking you what happened between you and Mrs. Lawrence and don't you deny it because I saw everything. You just left us at the restaurant."
"Whatever you saw Neese, am sure I can explain."
"Okay great, explain what you were doing kissing Mrs. Lawrence at her house after receiving a call at the restaurant?"
"She needed help with something Neese what's wrong with you!" He yells
"Hey! Don't you dare shout at my cousin". Eve intervenes and stands between Josh and I
"Oh shut up Eve!"
I hold Eve back as she raises her arms to fight Josh
"His not worth it Eve."
"Excuse, we have someone here to visit town." Matt and Quin walk to us
I let my eyes trail off and watch a beautiful blonde woman holding a young boys hand who looked to be about a year or so old, she slowly walked with him to were we were. She seemed friendly greeting everyone that she passed.
"Hey, am Marci, Marci Rossi." she smiles at us and then bends over to the little boy
Excuse me?
As in like Joshua Rossi, Marci Rossi?
Josh tries to walk away but Marci calls him out
"Honey, I cant believe you gonna just walk away."
I am out of words to describe my shock. I feel Eve tap me on my back
"Are you and Josh together?" Eve asks
"Yes, we are married."
What?!
She shows off her wedding ring then bends over to the little boy ,"Say hi to daddy."
The boy slowly makes his way to Matt then moves over to Josh's feet where he looks up at him and says,
"Daddy."
