"Dave!?"
Few minutes earlier
Her clap hands and glue legs are noticed by the woman, she tip her pinky finger out with edge of the flawless glass to her lips, taking a second of pleasure from the Luke chocolate coffee she had order. A silence breath with a reverse of the glass on it position.
"I honestly don't find any problem in you, I think you're the right fit for my son" she said flipping the drop that probably fell on the glass handle, at the same time the corner of her eyes captures a split of June's lips then tight up the second she gave her a clear view.
"And the cheque, what's it use?" The curiosity in her tone is heard by Mrs Deen.
"Oh my offer still stands. You put in the digits of your choice then promise to never leave my son. You have no idea how hard I've looked and tried to fix him with someone but now."
June breaths out on hearing her words, frankly she acted tough but her tummy was steaming it guts to the max. Even if it's possible to be with Dave without his mother's consent it still wouldn't sit well to her. His mother's approval would be much appreciated and thankfully her mind is ease on that.
"You really ain't here to ask me to stay away from your son?"
"And why would I do that?. I only want to see my daughter in law in person and the cheque is to courage you to stay cool with him. We both know what he can be sometimes" Mrs Deen said grasping a smile from June baffled expression.
"Believe me dear am more than happy with you as his girlfriend, and to prove my loyalty I've brought photos of his childhood" she said revealing an old album from her leather bag.
Yes, that's what she needs, silly cute photos of him. Now who wouldn't adore a mother in law like her?.
In delight she close the gab between them as they set their eyes for the cute photos of baby Dave.
"This was taken at his first arrival" Mrs Deen said with much pride and joy, her fingers caress through the photo of baby Dave in her hands at the hospital.
"And here, his first birth" she says choking herself in laughter of her son's bare butt that pops out in the photo.
"He's so cute" June joins in with the laugh as they watch through the other memory photos.
While on their bonding joy, Dave sprints through the stair due to his late arrival for the elevator, hopefully to reach early before his mother. The second he heard Mrs Deen he knew thats his mother and by his thoughts, she could only be there for trouble. He understands his mother isn't the villain type but she could hard to deal with at time. He just can't risk his relationship to be jumble by her.
In just minutes he's at the cafeteria up against his mother and girlfriend. Frozen, he watch them laugh in delight , different from what he had presume of the outcome. Yet in please to have both women he loves bonding our.
"Dave!?" June calls out the second he sees him behind them.
His mom's eyes rolls aware of why he's there.
"Are you here cause you fear I'll eat up your girlfriend?" Mrs Deen ask in a chuckle.
"You ladies are doing fine so ,am " before he could finish his statement, he sees the baby photos of him on the table. In rush, he grabs the album in one hand and tries to gather the others that are laid around.
"Mom" he scolds out
"Oh please, I'm just bonding with my daughter in law. And these photos are a good way" his mom plugs out the few she could from his grip.
"Not the top secret ones" he furthered in to collect a photo of him in a birth suit but is block in by June's fast hands that grabs it.
She stares at it for second then let loose of her lips of the boy in bath birth suit and clown outfit with much broad smile to cheer the world .She finds it cute and taken by the fact of him smiling so purely at the same time.
"I didn't know you can smile or love clowns" she teases to his flat sigh of defeat.
" My boyfriend is so cute as a child, I love him so much" she say cupping his cheeks.
He retires with thoughts of the smile on June's face on seeing his embarrassing photos, he definitely isn't feeling awkward about it. Maybe at first but he's more than delight to have her smile like that.
"Dr Deen right?"
Dave steps are halt by the call in question, he turns to see him hanging his hand in his pockets as usual. The scene of the other night slaps in , causing his knuckles to vein out.
"I think you should leave June alone, she doesn't need you" Rolland goes straight at it, leaving no space of agurment. He's done trying to play it safe, perhaps he would be view as weird or stalker but what to lose?, well anything but the girl he loves. For years he has planned how to win June's heart and on his return he finds another man occupying the space he wants.
It is a no to him.
"And you're?" Dave ask taking a close feet to him. Underrating, his height is a match to his.
He clocks his gaze at his face and take notice of his straight jaws and I nose, his mind couldn't be pity enough to decline the fact of Rolland's great looks, as much as he wish to demise his face .
"I've known June, there's no way she would be with a man like you expect need be. She doesn't love you" Rolland continues , holding much rage in his tone.
"And you're the one she loves?" his patience is a little running out, it one thing to be subdue to violence but it another to have a crack head front you on topic of your girl. Something about that just makes you feel like punching the hell out of him.
" I'll be a better partner to her than you. She needs someone of her age not some grandpa " Rolland eyes lit with a smirk on his lips, crooking his words at him to get the worst out of him. This way he can show June her choice was wrong.
"You need some help boy, I could help you to meet a good psychiatrist "
With those words comes Rolland's hands that rushes on Dave's collar, bridging in the gap, his eyes flames out with anger.
"Whoa ,easy there buddy " Dave voice out, he gently remove his hands from his shirt and Sweep two fingers at the rough gather to a perfection.
"Do it for your good son, stay away from her. You wouldn't like what I'll do the next time I see you bothering her" Dave husky warns
…..
"Rr...!" A loud squeal comes out.
Dora legs getting sprint up and down with cute waves of hands and waist. She squint her face to positions unrecognize to Edward, who stands duff in watch of her dance.
"I just got a contract, my book has be selected" her body goes in laps of his chest, fencing her legs in his waist she lays sweet kisses on his cheeks.
"Thank you" she gently laid another on his lips which she quickly drops off from on recognizing what she has done.
"Uh, I was a little excited" she awkwardly said with release of her body on it own weight.
"What did the agent say ?" he ask scratching the back of his neck. He doesn't mind her at all, infact she would have done him more good to stay longer. Her lips meeting his is unexpected but definitely rewarding.
"He would like to publish my book under the company he's working and hope to have it scripted for a movie" another squeal forms in her throat, subduing it to a hold.
"This will hand me my freedom from that monster" she exclaims with bright smiles on her face. The bright could be seen in her eyes by him and some how he feel offended by her comment thou he is aware she didn't directly met him. Yet in a way he's the monster sge seeks freedom from.
"I mean, you have never met this fiance of yours how do you know if he's nice or mean?. All you know he could be nice and .."
"Are you serious?. I don't even want to meet him, so long he's chosen by my parents he's a bad choice.
I don't have to meet him to tell. I'm sure he's just like them. Some pampering rich brat that thinks he can get all he wants just because he's rich" She said scowling at the thoughts of ever meeting him. She dared not, only rumors about him had her going sick. From source the guy changes women like the clothes he wear and his attitude is that of a garbage, no manners at all.
" Sometimes things we hear are not true, before any judgment it best you prove it first." He knows she has thoughts of him like that but didn't expect them to be so awful. Did she really take him for a spoilt brat?, she hasn't event met him and she has build such characters of him.
As much as he loves her and wants the best for her he's hurt by her words even if she didn't say it directly to him.
"But why do you ask?" she face his dull eyes and gloom expression
" Listen I don't care who he is or how he is, all I care about is you . I love you that's what matters to me. He could be nice for all I care, I've found my true love" her hands lays on his jaw with assure eyes. He feel the warm hands on his jaws, pulling his face to her direction, she hooks his lower lips into hers, jumping to the next.
Without a strain ,he push forward to her comfort, leading his way to her direction, he curls his arms on her waist. Taking in the sour cream she had earlier. This is it, everything he has wanted was to have her close to him, to find a place in her heart and to hear her say those words comfort him deep.
.....
After her mother-in-law departure, she heads for the set where she meets her guests in wait as the crew members ready to start the live show.
In deep breaths she walks up as her every steps are applaud to the stage, her eyes falls on the familiar faces.
' Deep breathe June, deep breathe. What ever they say don't take it personal ' she coach herself as she sits .
"So what I left my daughter in the orphanage for more than twenty years, am back now ain't I ?" The mother arrogantly said with no remorse to her past actions.
Oh that does it, this mother is so not a mother figure, f**k with her coaching or keep it cool script , the show is getting personal.
