Eli: Here comes trouble. Enjoy.
-Saturday afternoon-
Teresa was silent on the ride over to Bethany's. She had been silent ever since the little incident a week ago. She had been punished and she apologized for what she had done, but she was still angry as hell at Gabriel. He had tried with all his might to get it from her, but she held strong. No one knew why, not even Bethany. Or, of Bethany did, she wasn't saying.
He walked her up to the apartment. She went straight into Bethany's room once she got inside. She didn't tell Gabriel good-bye. Gabriel sighed and left.
"Gabriel, are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yeah, I really like the girl."
"But Teresa doesn't. You can't hide this from her forever."
"I can at least for a while. If it gets serious, then I'll tell her. Thanks for doing this."
"Well, Teresa and Bethany are best friends. I won't saying anything about your date."
"Right. See ya."
"Bye."
-Later-
The date had been planned out to be perfect. It involved flowers, casual dress, and going to see a movie. They hadn't decided on what movie till they got there. Gabriel let Samantha pick. He had been worried she'd pick a chick flick, but was relieved when she picked some foreign film about hate.
The movie had a lot of death and chaos. It went along well with the slight handholding, cuddling thing going on. They walked out hand in hand and just walked a little, not really knowing what part of the supposed "perfect plan" to accomplish next.
It was in this train of thought that probably kept them from seeing what hung above them as they passed through this archway out of the theater. One of the ushers mentioned it to them.
"Hey, cute little couple people! You're standing under the mistletoe!"
Gabriel and Samantha looked up and they were standing under it. Gabriel smiled, shrugged, and kissed her.
-Meanwhile-
Teresa hung upside down on Bethany's bed. She groaned as the blood rushed to her forehead. Bethany sighed and pulled Teresa upright.
"Come on, Reese. Let's do something."
"I'm depressed, Beth. I don't wanna do anything."
"There has to be something. You want to play Mortal Kombat ten on the PS4?"
"No."
"Uh, do you want to go out to the training grounds and practice with the swords? I'll let you use my katana this time if you want."
"No. Tempting, but no." Bethany shrugged and then smiled.
"I know! Let's go to the movies and go see the new TombRaider movie!"
That certainly did the trick. "Yeah! I wanted to see that for a long time."
Bethany and Teresa went into the living room were Ian sat reading.
"Daddy?" Bethany asked slowly and sweetly.
"Yes, Bethany?"
"Can you take me and Reese to go see the new Lara Croft movie?" She waited a second and pouted a little. "Please?"
Ian groaned lightly at the sight of her. It was maniacally evil that she inherited his ability of the sad puppy dog look, which was even more intensified by Sara's green eye color. Teresa stood behind her with a matching look that just screamed cuteness. He was out numbered and over powered. How could he say 'no' to them?
"Alright. Go get Jamie and we'll go."
-Later-
"That was great, that was cools. Lara Croft rocks, TombRaider rules!" Teresa and Bethany chanted loudly when they finished the movie. Ian just laughed and Jamie rolled his eyes.
"You two are sooooooo stupid!" He complained.
"And you are such a wimp. You got scared and screamed!"
"Did not!"
"Did too! I saw you!"
"Shut up Beth!"
"Nyah, nyah, nyah, nyah!" Bethany laughed and turned to Teresa. She was expecting Teresa to laugh as well, but instead her face was pale, sad, and angry.
"Reese? Reese? Teresa!" She followed Teresa's eyes, and her mouth dropped. Her Uncle Gabriel was kissing Samantha! Bethany immediately grabbed Teresa's hand and pulled her away.
"Daddy? Can we leave now and go get some ice cream?"
"Sure." He shrugged and they walked back to the car in the opposite direction. He had not noticed the little scene between Samantha and Gabriel.
Teresa was quiet. Bethany didn't like it when her best friend was miserable.
"C'mon, Reese. It isn't that bad. Didn't you see the mistletoe above them? They had to kiss."
"But he's here with her, Beth. He's here with her!" Teresa complained, tears slightly forming in her eyes.
"Reese, don't cry. It's just a coincidence. They probably ran into each other as they were leaving from separate movies. They got pushed together in the crowd and got stuck underneath the mistletoe. That's all that happened, Reese."
"But.Well, I guess."
"Just forget it, Reese. Just forget it."
