Alex had a feeling that today will be a weird day if he went out with Clair, but he knows that saying no to Clair is a death wish. Alex was waiting outside of her house to take her out for a date at the restaurant that her friends recommended to her. After half an hour of waiting, Clair came out of the house and ran to Alex.
"Thanks for taking me out, I promise you will not regret it," Clair was saying to Alex while they went to his car and drove to the restaurant that she wanted.
The drive to the restaurant was an hour from her house, plus she talked nonstop all the way. When they finally arrived, he parked at an empty spot and noticed a familiar car next to his. 'Could it be that Nic is here with someone?' Alex thought.
"Everything is OK, Alex?" Clair asked him when she noticed he was looking at some car.
"Yea, everything is OK. I just thought that car was familiar to me." Alex was assuring her. While they were walking to the entrance of the restaurant, he kept thinking about that car he saw in the parking.
"Welcome to 'The Rose'. Did you make a reservation?" The hostess of the restaurant was asking Alex and Clair.
"Yes, I did, under the name of Alex Daniels," Alex told the hostess. While she was checking her lies of reserved tables, Alex noticed two familiar faces that were kissing near to where he and Clair were standing.
"WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE?" He screamed at his sister and his best friend. He couldn't believe what was he see. One person is his best friend, and the other is his sister are kissing each other in front of him.
"Alex, what are you doing here? We can explain this, if you calm down," it shocked Gabie that her own brother just saw them kissing.
"EXPLAIN WHAT GABIE? That you two lied to me in the face this whole time? I just can't believe it. Let's go Clair, I am not hungry anymore" Alex took Clair from the restaurant, but what he didn't see is that she knew they will be here all along. While they left the restaurant, Clair tried to hide her smile, because she knew it won't be long before he found out that the only person who he ever knew lied to him too.
"What are we going to do, Nic? Alex is going to separate us now." Gabie was crying after her brother left the restaurant, "I know that the moment I step into the house, Alex will tell me to get a way from you plus he'll punch you in the face if he sees you at the station." Gabie couldn't believe that her nightmare came true in the end. Now she doesn't know what to do.
"Don't worry, my love, I'll try to reason with him. I tell him everything, and even if he separates us in the end, I'll do everything in my power to prove to him how much I love you Gabie." Nic was assuring her while he hugged her.
They went home. Nic knows that he'll have to protect Belle because if he founds out that she knows, things will get ugly between them more than it is now.
When Nic stopped at Gabie's house, Alex was waiting for them outside. Nic got first out of the car and went to open Gabie's side when Alex pushed him away and took Gabie out of the car.
"I don't want to talk to you anymore, Nic. I thought you were my best friend. How could you do it to me and date my sister?" It disappointed Alex with his best friend.
"I am your best friend, Alex. I love your sister and I was always in love with her. You remember I told you I was in love with a woman that was forbidden to me? You KNEW that." Nic was upset with Alex, but he knew it was his fault for not confession it to him way back.
"WHAT? You want to tell me that this whole time you were in love with my sister? A believable with you, Nic, if you told me the truth…"
Nic interpreted his words, "If you knew the truth, you did what?"
"I don't know Nic. I just don't know, but the only thing I know is that I want you to stay away from Gabie forever. And tell your cousin that I'm disappointed with her too for hiding this from me." Alex took Gabie and arranged her to the house.
"If I hear you were with Nic again, I'll send to away to a different city to keep you separated. Now go to your roam and stay there until you'll need to go to work. Maybe I should just tell your chief to move you to a different department so you won't be near your friend." Alex couldn't say her name anymore with this secret been out. He couldn't believe she lied to him, too. He didn't care if it was a different person, but not here.
Nic got into his car and drove to Belle's house. When he arrived there, he was too upset to get out of his car. He hit the stir wheel while screening inside his car. Belle saw from outside of her window that her a car stopped at the entrance of her door, but she recognized her cousin's car and went out and greet him.
When she was out, she saw him upset and crying inside his car and ran to him.
"Nic? What's wrong? Please open your door and talk to me." Bealle was trying to convict to cousin to open his door, but he didn't even move from his sit. "Please Nic, open for me the door, you're scarring me. What happened to you?" Belle asked the moment that Nic opened his door and came out of it.
"It's over, Belle. He found out about me and Gabie. He took Gabie away from me. What am I going to do now, Belle? I don't want to lose Gabie or Alex." Belle hugged her cousin while he was crying at her shoulder.
"Don't worry, Nic, I'm sure will find out. You'll now lose Gabie or Alex, I grantee you that." Belle told Nic while she took him to her house and tried to think of something to make her best friend and her cousin be happy, maybe make Alex realize his mistake.
