- Lola... Andy a classmate and friend of Lola's, pointed to a tall man at her mother's side. Who's that...
Lola turned her gaze to where Andy was pointing.
She immediately recognized the tall man.
It was Bobby.
Lola felt a great joy come over her.
Bobby had come to pick her up...
Just as he had promised.
And what's more...
He was with her mother.
Lola retrieved her schoolbag, and ran towards Bobby and his mother.
When she reached their side, she turned to Andy.
- He's my mom's lover.
At Lola's shout, all the parents' eyes turned to Eames and Goren...
Alex and Bobby let go of each other's hands, all red and embarrassed.
Lola had just shouted that he was her mother's lover...
As if it was normal.
In plain sight.
Damn it...
It was so embarrassing...
Her looks at them.
If he had known...
He wouldn't have come.
Waiting for them at home.
But he had promised Lola...
Besides...
She was only a child...
And he couldn't blame her.
Children had a tendency to say what was on their minds...
Thinking about it badly.
But still...
She could have avoided.
Especially in front of all this world.
And he did not like to be the center of attention.
And this was the case.
- Bobby...
Lola pulled on his shirt.
Goren blushed violently.
Wasn't Lola going to stop being all over him.
Besides...
Couldn't she be more discreet.
At the look on Goren's face, Eames had to bite his lip to keep from bursting out laughing.
What the hell...
Couldn't he see that she was as discreet as he was.
It was so weird...
Lola really had Bobby's character, if not his daughter.
Maybe it was because he was the one who often took care of her since she was a baby.
Goren saw the gesture of Eames' lips.
The mocking smile, finally biting them, not to laugh.
She was laughing at him.
He glared at her.
No...
But he was dreaming...
Eames was laughing at him.
And there was nothing funny about it.
All eyes were on him.
Lola pulled harder on his shirt, forced him to lower his eyes towards her.
She stretched out her arms.
Goren understood what Lola wanted.
Despite all her glances at him, he could not hurt Lola.
So he crouched down to her level, lifted her up, and carried her in his arms.
Lola wrapped her arms around his neck, brought her face closer to his, put her little lips on his cheek, brushed it.
At this affectionate gesture, Goren became even more scarlet.
- Mom...
Lola stretched her little hands towards her mother's face, which she took, and brought it closer, to place a kiss on her cheek.
Gently, Goren put Lola down on the ground.
- We are going...
Goren had only one desire...
To flee this place as fast as possible...
His people watching them, making low masses.
He didn't want to hear their whispers, and their future gossip...
Especially in front of Lola.
Eames nodded.
It was better not to dawdle.
Goren's reaction had been so funny...
But she hadn't liked the attention on them.
She hated all the looks on them.
And held back from saying what she thought.
But in Lola's presence…
She was not to make a fuss.
She had to keep her cool.
- Yes... Eames glared at everyone watching. Let's go...
Goren sensed from the intonation of Eames' voice that she was not happy.
But she was keeping her mouth shut.
He knew her too well.
And all this attention on them...
Must have exasperated her as much as it did him.
Goren held out his hand to Lola, who intertwined her little fingers with his, and with his other hand, took her mother's hand in his.
Lola was so happy...
She felt like she was with both her parents.
And that Goren was her daddy.
All three of us going home...
Hand in hand...
It was so nice.
If only this could be true...
Lola wanted Bobby to be her daddy so badly.
Goren was embarrassed.
All his eyes were on them.
He wasn't used to being the center of attention...
But he had to admit...
That they were taken for a little family...
Was not to his displeasure.
And he liked it.
Maybe one day...
No.
He had to get that out of his head.
It couldn't be possible...
And it would never come true.
Already...
Would Eames want it...
About Lola...
He didn't need to ask himself that question.
Lola always came back to the same subject...
That he was her father.
But would Alex want that too.
Was he even good enough for Lola, and especially for Eames.
Would she even want a man like him...
To share her life.
Goren looked at Eames.
A few words came to mind.
When Lola went to bed...
He flared up at the memory, turning red.
- Bobby...
Lola's voice brought him out of his thoughts.
He looked at Lola.
Her big hazel eyes looked at him, shining, and questioned him.
- Why are you all red...
At her words, Goren became even more red, downright crimson.
My God...
It showed as much as his trouble on his face.
Moreover...
He couldn't tell a little girl what he was thinking.
Especially when it involved her mother...
And her sexual encounters.
Lola tugged at her mother's hand.
- Did you see mom... She pointed to Goren's face. He's all red.
Eames looked at Goren, met his brown eyes that shone with a strange flame, a flame she knew well.
She blushed violently.
Eames understood what he was thinking.
And it couldn't have been clearer.
He moved his lips.
Tonight...
At his silent words, Eames turned scarlet, his heart drummed violently in his chest, ready to explode.
Bobby had not forgotten his proposal.
She burst into flames.
What was it with her silent words between Bobby and her mom.
What was going on between those two...
Lola had found Bobby in his mother's bed this morning...
And now...
There was this.
They were really strange.
Plus...
Why couldn't Bobby say his words out loud.
And what were those...
Those red faces.
What the hell...
How weird could a grown-up be.
Lola was in no hurry to become an adult...
Especially when she saw the strange behavior of these two.
Lola shrugged her shoulders.
No matter...
She was the happiest little girl at that moment.
They were like a little family...
And she loved it.
