The sweet jelly soup is a blad in the girls mouths, both shares a look at their boyfriend's faces that's in hook of cloud ninety nine.
June clears out her throat in attempt to attract Dave's attention, which pays off as he glance at her in arch brow, to which she responds in direction of the full plate in front of him.
She can tell his mood have been ruined by all the conversations about Rolland and her. I mean who wouldn't ?, no one wants to hear or see his girl being joke with another guy.
At the other end, Dora is trying to get her man from stuffing his stomach to overboard. With every spoon feed to his mouth he glares at Rolland who sends little concern in his direction. His eyes were stock on June.
"Excuse me" Dave whispers to June with a rise on his legs, her eyes follow his steps to the door. A second by, Edward follows his lead.
"Does she knows who you're?" Dave asks facing Edward that's on his tail. He shoves his back on the wall and leans a leg over the other with a smile in display.
"And have you tell her about your special needs?" He fires back at Dave with a smirk.
"There's no secret between us, she knows of it" Dave respond in clear conscience. The first to be told to her was his phobia to dirt and max cleanliness.
"She doesn't know I'll tell her when the time comes" Edward answer with an entanglement of his legs.
"I'm doing it all for her good" he assure. He isn't planning on hiding it from her forever, he's just waiting on the right time before letting her know if his true identity. Till then it best leave in dark.
"Is that what you tell yourself?" Dave ask getting a smile off him. He knows him well by now, he takes everything easy and step after the order.
"She's beautiful, your girl. I'm just surprise you went in for her type, thought you love the shy type with little to say but your preference seems to have changed " his lips goes silence with a disturb look from Dave.
Yes his first preferences were such but she's different and much to his desires. Her characters are what makes her stand out and he wouldn't have it anyway than how it is.
She's rare and he loves her.
As cousins it rare for them to encounter or share such rear situation of dating two friends. Being relatives has bever been open, they just share separate worlds.
Dave father and his mother are sblings .
"I'll tell her when the times comes till then she doesn't know that am her fiance or that we're cousins"
"You're cousins?!"
Their eyes turn in capture of June. With one hand hook on her waist, she let loose with a quick walk close to them.
"you're cousins and he's her fiance, the monster she's running from?" June breathe taken interrogate with hard glare at Edward.
He huffs at June comment, he's no monster and surely they were wrong. He's the nicest man ever. Just misunderstood by rumors of being a tyrant director, in his defense a little tight character of less conversation with worker and fire of worker when done wrong is no cause for such bad reputation the media have of him.
"She doesn't see me that way does she?" He anxiously inquires
"Umm, she does" June said with much delight .
"If she ever knows who you're, damn you're dead" proud as day the words slit through the teeth of little gap. She knows her friend won't be too happy with the news but it isn't in her place to break it to her , so the best to her is to let him handle it.
He could tell she's serious from her tone and still eyes that clocks not a second from him. His hands rub his ears for seconds before dropping them on his lap. If the truth of him strike a risk of loosing her then he's more than willing to have the secret conceal.
"Then no one tells her the truth" he firmly said with cold eyes.
"What truth ain't they suppose to tell me?" . Their bodies move in coin, syncing a tatter smile that's compel on their lips as their gazes falls on Dora that's just popped behind them.
" Nothing " Dave said sneaking a relief on their faces.
Without doubt does grab the word fed to her and stroll to her guy's side.
"Should we get home, am sick of this reunion" Dora said, her hands head in for Edward's right arm.
"June" the voice being well known to the girls even the boys that have just cross in moment but the sting of him bring a past to their girls couldn't let them forget that awful voice they sure wants to …
"Can we talk?" Rolland asks , he eyes takes notice of Dave's sore eyes that spear him no second of rest .
"It won't take long please"
"You can go" Dave said striking a pause on her face, she sure saw his hand clutching to the next, his neck did sure tittled in crook to his gaze to n her but .. what's he thinking?.
More of it , is a dubious in her head, is he being nice or does he trust her that much?. Either way in her mind he's the king to lend comfort and trust in her heart.
"Okay, only five minutes"
....
"Is it too much I ask, Thomas we've been in this relationship for two years and yet I feel like ,it going no where" Lizzy cries out.
The scene of his ex wife in his arms strike hurt in her heart. The day alone isn't in her favour, her position in her company has been handed to another younger and brilliant worker, so said by her boss. And her in thoughts her boyfriend would be a fine remedy to her pain but here he is with his ex, that too in a position that bruises the heart.
"I get it your daughter is unwell and needs a friendly environment but this I won't accept. It hard enough she lives here , but I can't have her roaming with my boyfriend" she spits out eying Linda with much hate, her fingers digs in her flesh as her eyes takes a much darker shadow.
"There's nothing going on between us" Linda said to ease the tension in the room.
"Did I ask you for verification?" She snaps at her, this time her heart is out with no hold back or calm fake smile. How much do they expect her to stay calm and understanding to the whole situation, she could barely breathe a space of privacy with her boyfriend. And it not like she's blind to the fact that their daughter is trying to hook back her parents together.
"The reason Linda was in my arms, is because I was trying to save her from a fall" Thomas frame a barrier between the two women, causing a smirk on Lizzy lips. His actions reveal it all to her, to save his ex he rather front her.
An act he has never done. Most he would flee from argument with her, but he..
"And what should that be, an opera soap drama?, Huh?" She sarcastically ask with scowl.
"You're taking this out of content" but is she?.
His voice flinch her toes on its stands, grabbing a hard look on him and Linda behind him . She cracks out in laughter, forcing her weight on her knees. She folds her face in her hands, taking the moment of realization of all her efforts being in vain. He has never love her, she's just a replacement of Linda but as it stands no one can replace her in his heart.
She tried her best, sge did everything to be the woman he wants in her but nothing could move his heart that's already belonged.
All these time she thought he loved her and come what may he would still choose her.
"Let go our sperate ways" she said standing on her feet .
"I think you two want to reconcile and am not gonna stand in your way"
…..
The morning breeze dances in on the busy schedules, heels pacing up and down with crews questioning and adjusting the time for the life show. June lead her eyes through the script written by Liam, this time she's ready to settle her old case of the daughter ,mother and husband that she flipped on and got her opinion on them.
A bitter groan let through her throat as she read the too good to be true lines, the fake is all she's good at but the script is one she can't take. As much as she shouldn't pry her personal opinion on them she can't just act like the mother's right or the wife is being noble to take her mother in.
"Lia..m" her call is interrupt by her phone that dances on the glass table in the dressing room.
" Good Morning ." Her gloomy lips goes loose and light on the voice, sending the script for a space unclear to her, she cross her legs in delight.
" Good morning grumpy uncle" she teasely smile at his end displease to the name.
"Have you eaten?" He ask , since their morning didn't cross paths.
"I haven't, would you bring me breakfast?"
"You know I'll. What do you want?" he ask
"I'm just kidding, I've had a morning meal" she said through a laugh.
"June , June"
"What?" She flips on Jane for ruining her sweet moment of romance .
"A woman by the name Mrs Deen is here to see you, and by looks she doesn't seem to be here for peace talk" Jane caution through with a deep stare.
'Who's she?' She murmurs in doubt.
"I'll call you back grumpy uncle" she dies the call and head off to see who has come . She isn't expecting any guest which makes it more of a doubt.
"You're?" She ask the second she's in front of the woman that show little attitude as interpreted.
"Mrs Deen, Dr Dave Deen's mother" she introduces with a rest on the seat in the cafeteria .
"I heard you were dating my son" she said in a question form
"We ain't dating, am his girlfriend" she response in clarity.
It wouldn't be first to deal with her guy's mother who thinks she's unworthy and should breakup with her son, but hell she's set for it. Types like her are most welcome to be handle by her.
Her arms fence on her chest, setting her legs for criss cross she eyed the woman staring back at her.
"Do you think you're Worthy of him?" There it is, the question she has been expecting, it just like them feeling that their sons are royal and her a pauper.
"Don't I look Worthy?" She fires back with loose of her arms, aiding her throat with a quench of the well design coffee that's set on the table.
"I'm not going to stall. I want you to do me a favor in return I'll hand you any amount of your choice" she pulls out the cheque book on the table, tapping her fingers on it in June's direction.
"Go on give your price"
"Honey I wish I can be of help but I can't. Your son is mine and not even you can take him from me. He stays , your cheque book isn't needed"
"Mom!…" The jogging body takes breath in one second.
"Dave?".
