Romans & histoires Gabe From Sweet Magnolias

I bumble and blush. Rhett is not talking about food and I know it. “So, you like sausage, then, Gabe? I could share mine if you like it,” Rhett says. “I’d love to share my sausage with you, Gabe.” My eyes go wide at how openly he is saying this and how the only one seeming to notice anything is Arianna who is glaring at her brother. “Oh, Gabe, I left you a little gift in the bathroom before I came down. It might help you, but if you need any other help, you know where to find me,” Rhett says.

"Yes Lorraine, no we haven't met before. I'm a member of the club. I'm what you called a headhunter for a job available. But I specialized in a different kind of field of expertise. I've heard about your situation. Please don't leave, just listen and think about it. You don't have to answer or even get back to me if you're not interested." I was about to get up, this sounded shadier. I didn't like where this conversation is going. Then she gave me her card, there was no company name, just her name Adriana and her mobile number. There wasn't even a last name. I drank more champagne, and try to stay as still as possible.

Anything to take the emphasis away from my sheer embarrassment. "I'm Genie". I can't even look him in the eye, let alone believe that he's sitting next to me and talking to me. "Nice name - what's it short for?". "It's Genevieve". I mumble. "Wow, not a name you hear often. I like it! So now we're acquainted can I buy you a drink?". He asks. Reluctantly I agree " Ok, a Guinness would be good. But just to clarify, It's not normally something I would do".

She will find the right time to meet Gab. ***

After all, she would rather trust Larissa's pretty face than Grisel, that cheating quack! Gabe Madden was enjoying tea at home when he heard the news that his daughter Ava was in trouble. He was so shocked that he dropped the teacup in his hand. "I'll head over now!" Gabe almost went insane when driving over in a hurry. On the other side, Larissa pulled out the last silver needle. "Done!"

“Because honestly, it’s super boring stuff. Think about numbers and spreadsheets and profit margins and that about sums it up.” It seemed that was about the best I was going to get out of him regarding his job and I didn’t feel comfortable enough to just right out and ask him. If I did, I’d have just straight up inquired how he made enough money to afford a house like this. Luckily, I wasn’t that much like my mother. “Fair enough,” I said. I changed the subject back to Bastian. “Who's Ava?” “Bastian's wife,” Gabe replied. “If you think he's broody and hard to get along with now, you should have seen him before he met her. She's practically turned him into Mr. Sunshine.”

Renea ignored it. Gabe continued, “Your brother little tight these days. First, lend me 1000 or so for me to use.” Hearing that, Renea turned around and was about to leave. Seeing that Renea didn’t care about him at all, Gabe chased after her blocked her way, and said, “I’m your brother.” “What’s your last name?” Renea’s question made Gabe not react for a moment. “Surname… My surname is Davis, what’s wrong?”

Amethyst and Agatha just nodded. “They will be after you then,” Agatha said. “Yeah. But don't worry about us,” Gabe said, trying to fade all their worries regarding that. “By the way, I've seen you leaving the party,” Amethyst paused as she captured Gavin's eyes. “With a woman,” she added. All their eyes shifted at him. Estevan shut his eyes emphatically and crumpled his hands under the table. Gabe remained calm as if it was not a big deal.

Slowly, she pulled up the blankets higher to her neck. “Where are you two from?” Georgia asked, aiming her question at Gabe. “York,” he answered quickly. Emmie glanced his way, wondering why he gave her the wrong answer. Georgia shook her head. “I have never been there. What did you say your last name was? You look very familiar to me.” Gabe stiffened. “Lawrence.” Her silvery-brown eyebrows drew together in confusion. “I fear I don’t recall knowing anybody with that last name.”

I hear Charlie giggle, "thank you sweetpea, but Momma is good right now." It's been a month since Abigail has been home, she has given us bits of information, but tonight she gives us more than what we even thought possible. We decided to have a BBQ in the garden, we haven't allowed Abi back near the pond since she's been back, I'm not sure if it's for her or us. Gabe has brought his bow and arrow with him and Ava has her boomarang, I can't help but ask, "ready for war kids?" Gabe smirks at me, "always Uncle," he responds as a true future Gamma.
