(This is set after episode 13 of selfie)
Part One
"No fear, no more hesitation, no more excuse when you see Eliza just say it"
Henry was saying this out loud in his bathroom muster the courage to tell Eliza he is not afraid anymore and ready to embark in a new relationship with her.
There only two major obstacles standing in his way;
One; Freddy seem like the easiest obstacle to overcome because let's just say he was a dummy. He can easily take care of him
But the second obstacle was the hardest because it dealt with his own struggle in how woo the lovely and adventurous Eliza Doodley
He sighed took a breath splash his face with luke warm water look in the mirror and just say it;
"Eliza I love you"
He say it question is can he say front of Eliza.
He needed help he needed
"Charmoque, Good morning, how are you."
"No"
"No what?"
"Not helping you"
"How did you know? I haven't even asked yet."
Charmoque informed, "Because I know you Henry you all nice people when you need help. And tell why should I help after torturing me and my son with your heinous and dull skateboard lesson."
"My sincere apologies to you and your for my dull torture I was merely stalling so I would not skateboard and embarrass myself in front of your son so forgive me."
"Alright I will forgive you and help you but you need to something for me."
"What?" Henry asked
"Babysit for three weekends and two Friday's ."
"Two weekends and one Friday." Offered
"Deal." Held out her hand Henry shook it Charmoque stop her work and had Henry full attention
"So what's the problem."
"I Henry Higgins I...dang it I can't even say to you."
"You love Eliza."
"Yes how.. Did you?"
"Lucky guess, ask me this? Are you in love with because she is now with Freddy and you can't have her or you love her just as she is?"
"Does it matter?"
"Of course it matters, Henry especially for women like me and Eliza we want to be want for we are not because we are found desirable with the chase we want to be found.
"Very insightful Charmoque but in all honesty the answer is both. I mean love every aspect of Eliza but find more irresistible because I cannot accept that she is happy with Freddy."
"Henry, if you love Eliza you got to just do more than tell show her."
"But how ?"
"I know something that might help"
"Tell me"
"Well.. Freddy two ago he told me a secret."
Flashback Two days ago
"Charmoque, your pals with Eliza right."
"Yeah I guess you can say she is my salt to my pepper."
"Great, has she talk to you about me."
"Hmm..hmm" Charmoque remember only Henry this Henry.
Henry, Henry is all Eliza talks with her.
The flashback paused
"Wait Eliza talks about me all the time with you" Henry interrupts
"Henry do you want to know what Freddy is up to or not."
"Yes" henry said
"Then let me finish."
Back to flashback,
Freddy added "Well Eliza, she has made some interesting changes this past week and it got me to thinking these changes are signs that she wants me to make the next step and I wanted your opinion in how I should ask a certain question."
Charmoque said "I am listening what do you got up your seelve"
"Well she recently told me she loves new kids on the block and they are coming here for a concert this Saturday and I want to ask her to marry me before the start of her favorite song "Stare at you"
"So Charmoque do you think that too much too soon asking Eliza marry me"
Charmoque said "Nah Go for it what you got to lose."
Back to the present
Henry screams at Charmoque, "What?! I thought you team henry"
"I was until you decide to dismiss Eliza's feelings in the first place but I am henry and I am here to tell you beat Freddy to punch sing her that tell you love her and want to be with her that is it signed sealed delivered she'll be yours trust me."
"Thanks Charmoque please if Eliza comes in notify me at once."
"Sure that is my job anyways"
Henry rushes into his office to login to iTunes to find the
New Kids on the Block's "Stare at You." It was best 99 cents henry has ever spend learning to sing this song will ultimately change his and Eliza's before practicing he looked out the door left and right to see if anyone was passing through he closed and locked the door played the song and started practicing sing and doing choreography for his wooing towards his Eliza. He mostly focus on the choreography rather the singing hence why he locked the door. He try spinning, moon walking like Michael Jackson, and swaying moving his hips like Prince closing his picturing himself on the stage doing for this for Eliza with the spotlight only on her smiling, giggling blowing kisses.
As henry was practicing his serenade the new Eliza walking in with short hair cut that she once had high school with more stylish glasses no eye contacts she walks up to Charmoque and greets her
"Hello there Charmoque how are you?"
"And you are?" She only glance up and didn't recognize her
She pretended not to be offended but she asked her,
"Charmoque look at me its Eliza, Eliza doodley"
She looked once more longer and was stunned "Eliza you look"
"Different, I know and I feel great, I want show Henry is he in his office."
" yeah I buzz him that you are coming."
"No, need anyways want to surprise him."
"Alright you go girl."
Eliza was reaching Henry's she could music of new kids on the block she starts rushing to the sound of her favorite song she knocks on the door no answer she tries opening the door locked she peaks through the window and was flabbergasted to Henry Higgins get his freak on to new kids on the block she tried so not to laugh it was actually sweet to see him let loose and have fun. She hated to ruin such a moment for him so she walked away and went to see Freddy in his office.
Freddy was overjoyed to see his retro Eliza knock on his door didn't waste anytime getting up from his seat rush towards picks her up off her feet twirls inside his office closes the door kisses her passionately then breaks away takes by the hand to his desk saying
" I have a surprise for you."
"Freddy what is the occasion?"
"No Occassion just close your eyes."
Eliza giggles and closes her eyes. Freddy gets the two tickets for New Kids on the block the. He asks Eliza open out your hands she did he place two tickets in her hands and he said,
"Now open them"
She open her eyes looks down to see the tickets and then you hear the loudest pitch scream in the world which the whole office but had no cause of concern except for Henry he heard Eliza's scream so clearly he stop everything and Rush out the door to Freddy's office yelling at the top his lungs "Freddy, I swear if laid one hand one Eliza I have you."
But Henry stopped mid sentence as he reached Freddy's door to see hugging and jumping in unison he sighed changed and yelled
"I am glad everything is well."
Freddy and Eliza broke from their joyful embrace as Eliza went to Henry eager to inform him,
"Good morning, Henry, Freddy gave me the coolest gift tickets to my favorite band ain't that sweet.
Trying his best not to convey the slightest jealously he avoid eye contact from Freddy and focus on Eliza, as he replies
"Good morning, Eliza that is indeed very sweet and nice. Speaking of nice, you Eliza look nice the new looks good on you."
Eliza lightly slaps him on the shoulder, "I just knew you like it, I found my old childhood self so inspiring seems like I need a #newmemakeover."
Freddy creeps up behind Eliza says, "#retroissexy"
Henry had absolutely enough and says "#cueformeleave, will see you later at lunch, Eliza."
Henry left With most jealous rage he wish he had a punching bag paste Freddy's and punch it off.
Eliza was curious why henry was dancing to new kids on the block so she went the gossip queen for answers.
"Charmoque, what is up with Henry?"
"What do you mean? You are the one he spends the most time with?"
"Well, I have been busy with Freddy and he is actually acting strange have fun dancing to new kids on the block, do you happen to know why he is doing that?"
"Well I guess, I can that he feels free to dancing maybe open his heart to someone." Charmoque trying to hint obliviously that Henry is love with her.
Eliza piecing it together, and asks "Charmoque, are you telling me Henry is in love with someone."
"Maybe"
"That is great news thanks Charmoque, gotta go talk to Freddy."
Eliza rushes off to break room to Freddy gives him a quick kiss and informs him
"Henry is in love"
Freddy most chokes on his bagel asks "with who?"
"I thought you would know."
"Eliza me and henry are not exactly bros from another mother if you know what I am saying."
"Oh so who is #luckygirl?"
"May he is in love with that doctor woman of his."
"Julia. #nowaynohow #soover" Eliza hisses
Freddy tried calming her down, "hey #takeiteasy it is just a hunch beside you should be happy for him. He is happy."
Trying to ease herself down " You're right #teamhappy4henry, thanks sweet bottom."
Eliza rushed off once again as Freddy called out "Where are you going?"
"Lunch with Henry, of course and I will see for dinner and dessert later."
"Alright Luv ya" Freddy replying in midst of rush off wondering he if heard it or not.
Eliza meets henry at nearest coffee shop, Henry already order their coffee knowing exactly what she wanted showing how he truly know her. Eliza enters stop to see Henry looking at his watch anxiously waiting for her. She was nervous and unhinged not fully prepared to tell she was happy for him and that is has found love again with Julia or whoever. She needed practice so she sneak in the bathroom rush to closest mirror and started to repeat the following sentence
"Henry, I am happy you found love you deserve it"
The first three times were not entirely meaningful or true because each she finish the sentence these thoughts would run through her head
"Yeah I am happy you are in love with robotic woman"
"I am happy you do not love me which sucks Argh"
"I hate you are in love Henry Higgins"
She repeated the sentence again
"Henry, I am happy you found love you deserve it"
She said another three time before actually realizing she still had feelings for Henry she realized she was settling for Freddy and even though Freddy loves she has not to have those feelings for him but now with Henry in love with someone else not her maybe if she let go let Henry be happy and tried hard to learn to love Freddy so she sighed mustard all the strength she to walk out of the bathroom and greet Henry.
"Good afternoon, Henry."
"Eliza, finally, you double shot expresso had just arrived for you."
"Why, Henry after a months you already know me so well order my coffee."
"Well, Eliza, I am gentleman speaking of which let me help your chair."
Henry gets up lets out Eliza for her to sit which she sits and smiles impressed how kindly he was but she knew this might his way being nice to smooth over the blow in telling her was in love with another woman. She need to strike first the less hurt it would be for her to hear the truth. So once Henry sat down smile at her took a breath she bursts out,
"Freddy, told me loved me today."
Henry smiled turned to a cold stubborn frown, "He did, when?"
"Before meeting you?"
"Did you say back?"
"Didn't have the time to? But if I did have the time I would have say it back."
"Would you, really, Eliza?" Henry hissed
"What is that suppose to mean, don't think I am capable in failing in love."
"I didn't say that, I think you are not capable in loving a man like Freddy."
"Why not?" Eliza hissed
Henry yelled which people in the coffee shop began to stare,
"Because Freddy is not good enough for you, you can do so much better than him."
Henry was right so right and it hurt she couldn't take it she grabbed her double expresso
Lept out of her chair which slammed down into the floor walked passed Henry not saying a word to him she was half to the exit when she turned around and told Henry.
"Henry,"
Henry turn to face Eliza and listen to her say,
"Why can't just let me be happy and move on just like you have."
Eliza didn't Henry not one breathe nor chance to response as she walked straight the exit not looking back.
