Chapter Nine
The next morning the Café was full of Mallrats eating breakfast. Siria, who had slept later then usual, slipped quietly in and sat next to Jack. Her eyes were puffy. Jack passed her a bowl and gave her a reassuring smile. With his discovery from last night, Jack felt it was his duty to protect Siria's secret. Besides Amber she had been the most attentive to his lost of Ellie. And the fact that she didn't even know Ellie emphasized the gesture.
Siria cringed at the odd contents of the bowl. Pushing it away she looked up. Her eyes, as if they were compasses pointing north, landed on Jay who was squashed between a clingy Trudy and Brady who was trying to show him her rag doll. He smiled and pulled Brady onto his lap. Looking up he glanced at Siria. Their eyes locked. The feelings of last night swirled around them making them forget everything around them.
Trudy was content watching Jay play with Brady, he was the perfect father. When Jay looked and stared across the room she glanced in the same direction. Siria Trudy frowned. She didn't like Siria, not since she first met her. She didn't know why, she just didn't. When Siria gave a half smile, Trudy turned to Jay who was doing the same. Trudy's hand clinched slightly on Jay's shoulder. Then in impulse she kissed him, desperately pushing her lips against his. When she had finished Jay looked at her in confusion. "What was that for?"
"Jay, I love you. And I know we can be together because we have something special."
"Umm, Trudy what is this leading up to?"
"I wanna be with you forever."
"You mean...?"
"Yes. I want to get married."
Before Jay could say or do anything, Ebony walked into the Café. "Oh look what the cat dragged in." Lex blurted out. Siva then elbowed him.
"Lex, not even you can ruin my mood."
Siva looked at her sister suspiciously, "And why is that?"
"You'll see." Ebony then smiling turned to everyone, who was now in attention at what was being said. "I have something to tell you all, especially you Jay."
"What is it Ebony?" Jay stood and walked towards Ebony.
"It's Ved. I found him!" There was astonishment in the room as Ebony beamed at Jay's face. Amber looked suspiciously at Ebony, but Siria hardly paid attention. That kiss between Trudy and Jay had decided everything. She and Jay were over.
Ohh Dear Oh Dear Sorry so Short
