Beau sat on the couch playing with the stress ball in his hand. He was waiting for Ella to get there as she had called him to ask where he was and to stay there. She sounded really pisses off about something.
What had happened to her? Or was it Robyn? He sat up when that thought crossed his mind. Did James do something to her? He could not have. As much as he wanted to break his bones the day before, Colin had talked him out of it. They needed to play dumb so that they could protect Robyn. That was a logical reason for him.
He heard a knock on the door and rushed to open it.
"What the hell is wrong with you?" Ella asked him as she went in. She was clearly upset.
"Good morning to you too." He said.
"Don't play sarcastic with me."
"What are you talking about Ells?"
"Why would you tell the Hachis to go ahead with the marriage when there is a way to
Robyn was tired of pretending to be interested in the conversation or rather discussion that was taking place at the moment. She imagined James's head swelling and then exploding with a boom to which she smiled. He kept saying things as if she needed help to manage her life. He really had no idea what she was capable of."Listen Mr Kasho, I'm not a helpless person. I'm not a damsel in distress that needs a strong man to save her. My life is just fine.""I'm not saying you are helpless. I'm just saying with all the things that you're going to inherit and accomplish, you need a man by your side. All the more reason for it to be Colin. Your restraunt, Noah's it's growing everyday, you need our expertise in...""Whoa whoa whoa! Back it up a little bit. What did you say about Noah's?""Like I said before all assets including that need to be....""Need to be what? Listen to me an
The awkwardness in the air was slowly clearing away but could still be tasted. The whole gang was hanging out at Neon including Layla who was the reason for the awkwardness. As the rest of the guys went back to dancing on the dancefloor, Layla sat with Robyn on counter."So? You and Beau?""I'm sorry.""It's alright, I had a feeling his heart belonged to someone else. Why didn't you tell me?""Tell you what? That the guy you're into may or may not like me? How could I?""I understand Roh. But you can tell me these things. You can trust me.""That's not my strongest forte.""Yeah. But you got all of us. You don't need to hide things from friends.""I will try.""Good enough. So, are you guys a thing now?""What? No!. I don't know of I should date him..."
Beau watched as Robyn cleaned the cut over Colin's back. He had flinched when she applied the antiseptic at first but soon relaxed. It was interesting to watch for Beau. He imagined them as a married couple and thought they would have been great for each other. They were both selfless people. The only difference was that one hid it behind a bad boy tough exterior and the other just did not talk about it all remained anonymous.He felt his chest constrict at the thought of her being married to sosmeone that was not him. He could not believe he had convinced himself that he would be okay if they got married. To stop James from having his way, they had to find Eddie Saza and convince him to be their witness. He hoped it would be easier to do so. He scowled his face as a thought crossed his mind. What if James already found him and killed him? He was capable of everything.''Are you okay little bro? You're not getting jealous are you?'' Colin said
Robyn was trying to fall asleep but was failing miserably. She got up and got into the shower. She hoped the warm water would soothe her. She heard her phone beep as she got out.*Can't sleep?* Beau texted her.*Yes.**Open the door I'm outside.*She chuckled to herself as she got dressed and went to open the door of hers and Ella's apartment."You know, I'm starting to think you don't really like your house." She said while hugging him."As long as I get to be next to you. I don't mind." He told her and she blushed. "So I brought a sleep better smoothie." He handed her a cup."Thank you.""My pleasure. Now drink this and let's get you to bed.""I'm not having the nightmares much. I just can't sleep.""I know. I'm here. I wanna try something so stay here and I will be li
Colin did not know how to comfort his mother in this situation so he just sat beside her. Beau seemed to handle it better than he thought. He wanted to tell her how he told her so but he held himself.''When did you decide to at least check things out? After he told you there was a trial?''"I deserve that. But no, i decided to look things through after what you told me the other day."''Does he know that you know?''''Yes. I asked him to come clean about it. He could not even look at me.''''Sorry mother.''''I am the one who is sorry, i should have seen the signs but i did not want to believe it. I found the copies of cheques he wrote to that man, Eddie something.''''Eddie Saza.'' Beau said.''Yes him. i'm so sorry my sons. I should have been a better mother.'' she went back to sobbing and something in Colin
Robyn watched Ella's mother fiddle with her rings on her fingers. The poor woman must have been very nervous to why she had been called there for some coffee."Listen Aunt Margaret, I know you love Ells and you miss her but please just try to talk to her often. She misses you a lot.""And I miss her too Thomasine.....""Seriously my middle name?""Sorry,Robyn. I love my daughter but we have nothing in common so I do not know what to talk to her about..""How are you going to know if you keep avoiding each other.""I will do my best, I promise. She always has you though.""Yes. And I love her so much. But you are her mother. So are you ready to meet her right now?""Of course I am. When will she be here?""In a minute or so, I sent her a message a few minutes ago. Oh there she is."&nb
Beau was trying his best not to tell an annoyed Colin about his surprise party. He had taken him away from his new office to grab a quick drink and talk. Then told him that their father asked to meet them really quick."Beau this better be good because you just made me ditch my friends hours ago and you're making me miss a date with my new girlfriend!""I don't know what it is Colin. He just said he needed to see us and it sounded urgent. Alright ?""Fine. Then can you speed up a little?""No way. Remember we have been given a speeding ticket and a warning. Do you want a second one?""No. But a little speed won't hurt. Right now you're driving like an old man!""Fine I'm on it. Geez."Beau accelerated another twenty on the gauge then slowed again. As soon as he packed the car at his father's house, Colin jumped out and rushed to the the d
Robyn was updating details of new customers for the new insurance policy they had just introduced and advertised through Ella's TV network. She wanted to get things ready before her date with Beau later in the day.She heard the buzzer on the office intercom go off and answered."Hello Miss Hachi, there is a package out here for you.""Alright. I will be right out." She stepped out of the office and saw a delivery boy carried a bouquet of tulips. She smiled knowing they were from Beau."Wow Miss Robyn, you and Mr marks are getting pretty serious right." The secretary commented wiggling her eyebrows."Oh stop. What gave it away?""Your frequent dates
