Chapter 9
7:30 P.M
BJ's Restaurant and Brew house (Ted's Date)
Ted walked up to the hostess, dressed nice in a Dolce and Gabbana suit.
"Hi, Welcome to BJ's, I'm Stephanie" said the Hostess.
"Hi, I'm Ted, I'm suppose to meet someone here, the reservation are under the name Rhodes" said Ted.
"Yes sir, the other persona has already arrived and is seated let me take you to him, follow me please" said Stephanie.
"Thank you" said Ted as he followed Stephanie.
As Ted walked behind Stephanie he noticed that she was leading him to a booth and all he could see was the back of the head of the person who was suppose to be his date.
"Here you are" said Stephanie.
"Thank you" said Ted.
"Here is your menu and a waiter will be with you shortly, okay" said Stephanie, handing Ted a menu.
"Thank you" said Ted, Stephanie nodded her head and walked away.
Ted felt awkward, the person who was his date had the menu covering his face, he didn't know if he should say something first…he was nervous, he never really went on a real date.
"Hi, I'm Ted Ce….I mean Ted Dibiase, nice to meet you" said Ted, remembering that he was going back to his maiden name.
The person sitting in front of him slowly laid the menu on the table and looked at Ted with a grin.
"Hello beautiful, I'm Stephen Farrelly but people call me Sheamus, I think we've met before " said the man.
Ted looked at the man in shocked, his eyes wide open, not being able to believe who Cody set him up with.
"I'm out of here" said Ted as he was about to slide out of the booth but the man got up fast and sat beside Ted covering his way out of the booth.
"Move! I want to leave" said Ted, loudly, pushing Stephen.
People stared over at their booth.
"Shhhhh, you don't want to cause a scene" said Stephen grabbing a hold of Ted's wrist.
Ted looked down when he saw that people where staring at them.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!" said Ted, I a low but mad tone of voice.
"I'm your date, our friend set us up remember" said Sheamus with a smile.
Ted looked at Sheamus and was about to say something but a waiter came to their table.
"Hi, I'm David, and I'll be your waiter today. Are you ready or do you still need time to look at the menu" asked David, the waiter.
Sheamus looked at Ted, "I think where ready I'll have the classic rib-eye steak with a side of horseradish mashed potatoes and a Caesar salad. What about you dear?" he said.
Ted looked at the menu quickly, "I'll have the Cajun Pasta" he said quickly.
"Any wine with your meal" asked the waiter.
"No, I'll take a Irish Beer and for him a Ultimate Long Island" said Sheamus.
"Okay, we will get that ready for you" said David.
"Thank you" said Sheamus, Ted just nodded.
"So Doll why are you mad, huh? Why don't you want to have dinner with me, we have a lot to talk about" said Sheamus.
"Yes we do Ted, or where you never going to tell me that you had my son" said Sheamus, grabbing both of Ted's wrist.
"He is NOT your son" hissed Ted.
"Ted I hired private investigators, I've seem picture of him, but if you don't want to tell me then here you go" said Sheamus taking out a piece of paper from inside his suit pocket.
"What is this?" asked Ted confused.
"It's a lawsuit" said Sheamus.
Ted looked at the paper with his eyes wide open.
"All I have to do is sign it and the best lawyers in the world will be helping me prove that Jayden is my son and I will fight for custody, when you have money anything you want is possible " said Sheamus.
"Why would you do something like this?" said Ted.
"Because Ted….I fell in love with you, I've been in love with you all these years"
"What the hell are you talking about?" asked Ted.
"I left the country because of problems with my Visa but when I came back to work with your husband's company I saw a photo of you on his desk, I heard you where married the whole time and you had given birth . Something inside told me that kid was mine I remembered that incredible night we had, time passed and then I saw a picture of the kid, he had green eyes exactly like mine, I knew he was mine from that moment, I never did anything because you where married and I didn't want to cause you any pain with your family but when I heard you where filling from divorce I was happy because I was finally going to have my chance at starting my own family, with you" said Sheamus.
"Your fucking crazy" said Ted as he tried to push Sheamus away.
"Really, am I crazy for loving you, obviously your ex-husband didn't love you if you divorced him" said Sheamus.
Ted looked at Sheamus.
"If I was him I would have treated you every day like a king and our kid like a prince" said Sheamus.
Ted looked down at the piece of paper in his hands.
"If Jayden was your child…what would you do?" asked Ted.
"I want to meet him…he is my son, my blood" said Sheamus.
Ted stayed silent.
"Beautiful I still love you, I would love to give us a try, I still think all the things I thought about you when we first met. Please just give me one chance, what do you have to lose?" asked Sheamus.
Ted looked at Sheamus.
Sheamus got out of the booth and got on his knees in front of Ted.
"Please just give me one shot" said Sheamus.
Ted turned away from Sheamus, "okay but…" said Ted.
Sheamus sat back on the booth and grabbed one of Ted's hands, "Anything, name it?" he said.
"but only if you stop this lawsuit process and not fight me for custody, you'll meet him but he CANNOT know you're his father…at least not now" said Ted.
Sheamus grinned. "Of course baby, anything you want" he said.
Ted nodded, he handed Sheamus back the paper. Sheamus took the paper and ripped it in half.
"Problem solved" said Sheamus with a smile.
"Yeah, as long as I date you" whispered Ted as he rolled his eyes.
"Babe, your going to end up falling in love with me" said Sheamus with a grin.
Ted stayed quiet and smiled as the waiter came back with their food and drinks.
MEANWHILE
In John's Apartment
"So you'll sleep in my room and your mom will sleep in your room" said Evan.
"No, Evan it's okay, I'll just sleep on the couch" said John as he laid on his bed.
Evan finished vacuuming John's room and sat next to him on the bed.
"John my room is big enough for two, you with me, okay" said Evan.
John looked into Evan's eyes.
"Okay" he said.
"Good, it'll be like a slumber party" said Evan as he pushed the vacuum out of Johns room and down into the cleaning closet.
"Thanks Ev" said John as he followed Evan downstairs.
"Don't mention it, oh! I just remembered, do you want to go with me to Hastings, they are releasing a new album tonight at midnight and it's 10:45p.m" said Evan.
"Yeah, why?" asked John.
"My FAVORITE band in the world just realized their first album in 11 years" said Evan as he put his shoe's on.
"What band?" asked John.
"No Doubt, they are my FAVORITE, let's go their probably a line already" said Evan.
They both walked out the apartment and took Johns car.
"Who's No Doubt?" asked John.
Evan stared at John with his mouth wide open, "Only the best freaking band in the world" he said.
John laughed, "really?".
"O my gosh, we are going to listen to the new album, it's called 'Push and Shove' and because you need to listen to what 'real' music sound like, not this fake edited crap they play now" said Evan, jumping up and down in his seat.
John laughed at Evan's behavior.
