TAKE 3
Anyone who was a frequent visitor of the McDonald-Venturi household knew that the dinner table was always loud. A quiet table is a sign of death. Either that or something is really really wrong. So today when the table was quiet and all you could hear was the scraping of forks hitting the plates, and no one was dead, they knew something was wrong.
"So, who's gonna tell me what's going on?" George said looking pointedly at Derek and Casey. Derek shrugged and Casey scowled.
"Maybe if someone wasn't a big-headed jerk, nothing would be wrong." Casey replied.
"Maybe if someone wasn't flirting away with some random guy while her boyfriend was two feet away this whole thing could've been avoided." Derek smirked.
It was like watching a tennis game how the rest of the family's heads went back and forth from Derek to Casey. From Casey to Derek.
"Well, maybe he shouldn't have been acting like she had the Black Plague."
"Maybe he was trying to get his thoughts in check."
They weren't dumb, the family. Of course they knew they were referring to themselves. But, they didn't say anything for fear of another quiet table.
"Maybe he could've come to her and they could've got his thoughts in check together."
"Maybe that was really hard for him." By this time they were both out of their chairs leaning forward with an accusing finger.
"Maybe she's through with the whole relationship." Derek's eyes flashed with hurt when she said that.
"Maybe that's not something he wants to here." He whispered.
"Maybe it is."
"Maybe he was gonna tell her he loved her." All the forks on the table dropped to the plates with a big KLANG. Their jaws slapping the floor.
"What?" She said her voice breaking, ruining the whole 'maybe' thing.
"Maybe he was really really really nervous on how she would take it."
"Really?" Her hands were now positioned on her face in disbelief.
"Maybe he didn't know if she felt the same way, so he avoided her."
"Maybe that was stupid thing to do."
"Oh yeah, why is that?" He questioned.
"Because maybe she would have told him she loved him back."
His face lit up with joy. He had never been this happy.
"Maybe that's the best thing he's heard in his entire life."
"Maybe I've been feeling this way for a while."
"Maybe…"
"MAYBE!!" Lizzie interrupted. "You should lean over the table already and give her a goddamn kiss!"
"Lizzie!! Language!!" Nora said stunned.
"Maybe… that's a good idea." He said as he leaned over and did just that.
"Well, this is awkwardly surprising." Nora joked.
"Maybe not." George joked back. And they all laughed while Derek and Casey made out.
As if it were completely normal.
But, hey, maybe they already saw it coming.
Just maybe.
