Previously on 'We Belong Together'…
When Ryan and Erica done talking. They said goodbye to each other. Erica got back to work and Ryan got back in the house. He stepped into the kitchen and saw Natalia sitting at the dining table in silence, looking upset. He asked her what's wrong? and she didn't answered but looked at him with an unhappy look.
On with the story…
Ryan stood there waiting for an answer. Natalia did not know what to say. She was mad but she did not want to start a fight or an argument. She tried to calm herself down and told herself that she might think too much.
"I forgot to cook myself waffles." Natalia let out the worst lie ever, did not know why couldn't she think of a better lie. She looked into his eyes which were looking at her curiously. She could say she looked so suspicious right now. Hoped that he would believe the lie and wouldn't notice her suspicious looking.
He didn't say a thing, which got Natalia more worried. He believed it or not?
And then he let out a laughter, which made Natalia let out an airy sigh. He believed it.
"Nat, you should have seen your face when you said that. You looked so upset!" Again, he laughed. "You hungry? Let's find something to eat outside, how does that sound?" He smiled.
"Good. Okay." Natalia forced a smile. Ryan nodded.
"Cool. I'll just go take a bath." Said Ryan and got upstairs to take a shower. Natalia let out another sigh.
And so they went to a shopping mall to have breakfast, lunch and dinner. They spent all day there because Natalia did not want to go home when there was a crime scene in front of their house. She just felt dangerous. Even she was with Ryan, it did not make her feel safer.
It was 5 p.m., The sky was dark already. During the dinner, there was a huge silence before Ryan's cell phone beeped. He pulled it out and read something on it and then put it back in his pocket. Natalia swallowed the food in her mouth and asked,
"What was it?"
"Nothing," Ryan avoided her eyes and kept on eating like nothing happened. He was the worse liar than her.
"Ryan, don't do this. What was it?" Natalia repeated. Ryan sighed and decided to tell the truth,
"Erica texted me, saying she wants to meet up on Tuesday." Ryan compressed his lips, hoping that Natalia wouldn't get mad.
"Meet up with you?" She asked. He just nodded.
"Are you going then?" She went on.
"I don't know." He replied.
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"I DON'T KNOW! So if I told you I'm going, would you allow me to?"
"If it's business stuff then OKAY! But if it's not…you know," Natalia implied. Again, Ryan sighed.
And then there was an awkward silence between them. They both hated it. So Ryan broke it,
"I'll think again." He continued, suddenly they both felt their food became distasteful as if they were in the ghetto restaurant.
At 7 p.m., they went home. The reporters and the cameramen from many television programs were still in front of their house, as if Erica Sikes. Natalia was unhappy with that.
Ryan got out of his car and walked over to the passenger's side and opened the door for Natalia. She got out of the car and immediately faked a smile when she saw Erica walking to them and greeted them. They greeted back.
"Hey, Wolfe." Erica said. "Did you get my message? Do you think you can go?" She asked. Natalia could smell her Flora by Gucci perfume she's wearing from where she stood, looking at her moving red lips which were probably wearing MAC Russian Red lipstick, when she talked. Natalia thought of when Ryan told her that he liked woman with red lips a lot so as once he forced her to wear red lipstick when they were about to go on a date because he said it turned him on. This thought got her feeling more jealous.
"Ah yeah I got your message. I wonder what do we have to talk about?" Asked Ryan.
"Well, as I've known you, you don't wanna be a mechanic, do you? I think I could get you a new job. Maybe we can talk about it." Replied Erica. Ryan was speechless, codifying things in his head.
Should he say yes or no? Sure he wanted a new job, a better job than what's he doing. He hated it at the garage fixing people's cars. But Natalia might get mad about him going to make a discussion with Erica, which didn't worth it. On his mind, he was like Gosh, this is not easy to decide!
"Oh. Cool. Um…" He paused, still deciding. "Natalia, What do you think?" Asked Ryan. So now he knew that his decision depended on Natalia's opinion.
"I think it might be good for you." Said Natalia with a faked friendly smile. Ryan couldn't believe she just said it as a yes.
"Ah, okay then...I'm going." Said Ryan, trying to smile as much as he could. He felt weird right now. The women in front of him were faking to each other.
"Great. I'll see you at where you work at." Said Erica.
"At the garage? Alright. What time?" Asked Ryan.
"What time you get off from work?" Asked Erica.
"5 p.m." Replied Ryan.
"That's when I'll meet you there. Goodnight," Said Erica before she turned around and walked back to the crime scene. Ryan and Natalia just got inside the house.
