Hey, sorry I haven't updated in who knows how long. But here goes. And
sorry if it's short.

Speak the Lies
Lula, Gary, and Christian talked for some time in the park. They came up with a plan that, if everyone kept to their parts, would go perfectly and even then, it would still go pretty well. To test to see if Lula's theories were right or not (a/n: remember her 'medicine' and gary), Satine was to move into Lula's apartment and Gary into Christian's. Then, she could be safely monitored, so to speak. Christian would begin to *like* Lula and if it wasn't obvious after some time, they would stop. From there, they would plan what would happen. Overall, no one liked the plan, but it seemed like the best.
From there, they left for lunch. They met with Satine at the café, all of them going in at different times so as not to give the game up.
"Hey, Gary, come on! I'm hungry and Satine's waiting! Hurry up, will you?!" Lula was dragging Gary into the café, and walked over to the booth her friend sat at.
"Slow down, the food's not going anywhere is it? And besides, what's the rush? Patience, woman, patience!" Gary replied easily, smiling and laughing with Lula. Satine got up and smiled at each of them. They kissed each other on the cheeks, and exchanged hugs and regular words of greeting. They sat back down.
Christian came in, looking as if he'd sprinted the whole way to the cafe, wind blown, when in fact, all he did was run around the block a few times, then come in. Lula got up, and instead of a quick friendly hug that was usual, she got up and hung on a little more than usual. Then, she kissed him on the cheek.
Gary stood up and greeted Christian. Then, the cousins sat down and watched Satine.
Satine got up. "Hey darling!" and kissed his cheek and hugged him briefly before sitting down next to Lula. As Christian busied himself with taking off his coat and scarf, Lula caught a glimpse of his wet eyes. She put a comforting hand on his knee.
"Ow!" Satine exclaimed. A heavy boot had collided with her leg. Gary, who had originally intended to hit Lula because he had suspected what she had done, missed and hit Satine's.
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I was just trying to get comfortable. And plus, these new boots really need to be broken in." Gary lied quickly, covering any doubt and smiled at Satine, who was completely won over.
"Hmm, Chris, how far have you gotten with your next play?" Lula asked.
"It's coming along VERY well, if i say so myself. Would you like to see it after we eat?" Christian asked, quietly observing and becoming steadily more irritated as he viewed Satine's reaction. They ordered and, because they were one of the only groups of people eating there, they got their food quickly. They finished, Christian paid and left with Lula arm in arm.
Once out of view of the cafe, they walked to a quiet secluded garden, where they sat down....
