"How did she take that?" she asked eye brows raised

"And this is Johnny, he and lulu owns the star now," he said as he introduced them
"Nice to meet you Johnny." She said shaking his hand giving him a small smile.
"Like wise." He answered

"Can I get you a drink?" Luke offered as he pulls a chair for her to sit
"Thank you." She answered with a smile
"I'll take a scotch neat." Ethan voiced
"Then I suggest you get up and get it." Luke retorted
With a huff he got up form his seat. "Excuse me a moment love." He said to Amanda offering her a kind smile, and walked off to get his drink.
"I'll have the same." Johnny shouted to him.
"Here you go Mandy." Luke said placing a drink in front of her, to which she nodded a thank you.
"I thought Lauren was supposed to be here already?" Amanda asked taking a sip of her wine
"Yeah she got held up." He replied
"Does she know that Rebecca and I are in town?" she questioned
"Nah! Wanted to surprise her, she should be here with the ball and chair in awhile." Luke snipped.
"She doesn't like him, she went on and on about it last night." She smirked
"That's my girl." He exclaimed "my princess has always been a go judge of character." He smiled into his drink
Ethan came back to the table handing Johnny his and he sat back down.
"Don't encourage her Luke." She warned
"The thought never crossed my mind," he lied.
"Right!" she replied.
"Fine I won't encourage her." He said
"I'm sorry I'm lost, what are you guys talking about?" Ethan asked
Amanda looked up and smiled at him. "Just warning your father not to encourage Becca." She stated.
"And why would you do that?" Rebecca voiced as he walked in.
Johnny's eyes racked over her, her hair pulled back into a loose ponytail with a few strands lose, black leather jacket a white top below showing off her mid drift, Dark washed jeans and black four inch boots that stopped by her shin. She looked beautiful, his gaze didn't go un-noticed by Amanda neither did Ethan's by Luke.
"Oh nothing." Amanda answered with a smile
But Rebecca press. "Then why don't you want Uncle Luke encouraging me?" she asked eyebrows rose.
"Lauren should be here any moment." She said trying to distract her daughter.
Take off her jacket placing it over a chair. "Luke what isn't she telling me?" she enquired stand next to him
Amanda gave him a glare, to which he ignored, "She's not coming alone." He offered
Rebecca looked confused, "What do you mean she's not coming alone?" then it clicked her eyes went wide jaw dropped. "Do you mean that idiot is coming with her." she exclaimed
"Rebecca you may not like him but you will respect him, he's Lauren Husband." Amanda reasoned
"You've always told me respect is earned and not given." Rebecca argued
"She got you there Mandy." Luke smirked
"You're not helping Luke." She scolded him, to which he just shrugged "Well if you don't respect him then be nice." Amanda suggested
"But mama I don't want to be nice to him." She groaned stumping her feet like a five year old
All three men around the tabled snickered to her child like behavior, Johnny thought she looked cute the way she pouted.
Amanda gave her a warning look, causing Rebecca to roll her eyes and submit to her mother wishes, "Fine!"
"Good." Amanda smiled up at her daughter
"You want a drink princess?"
"A shot of gin, and a glass of brandy please." She said taking a seat.
"Hmm never figured you for a gin type of girl." Johnny smirked
She chuckled turned and smiled at him, "and what type of girl do you think I am Johnny?" she asked leaning in.
Ethan looked between the two of them both smiling and he did think that at all. "So why don't you like Scott?" he interrupted. Amanda snickered because she knew what he was doing
Johnny groaned and glared at Ethan causing Rebecca and Amanda to exchange a look smiling at each other, Luke came back and set down Rebecca drinks in front of her.
"I don't trust him." She said downing her shot of gin
"Yes yes but let's not think about that now shall we." Amanda interjected
"Yes I agree with Mandy, lets not." Luke lamented
"Don't worry Mama I'll be nice." Rebecca offered with a knowing smile
But before Amanda could reply to Rebecca comment, Luke interjected "Mandy can I talk to you for a minute." he said getting up.
Amanda got as well following Luke to the other side of the room, Luke stopped and turned back. "Off limits!" he deadpanned pointing his finger at Ethan.
Ethan held his hand up in surrender. "You're no fun Uncle Luke." Rebecca teased with a smile
"That goes for you too Zacchara." He said then walked off.
"Has he always been this protective of you?" Johnny enquired
"Mm Hmm," she said sipping brandy
"So…..Is there a Mr. Rebecca by chance?" Ethan asked Johnny shock at his friends.
Rebecca smirked at how he asked the question, "No there is not a Mr. Rebecca, I'm single." She said honestly.
"Oh really." He said with a mischievous smile playing on his lips
"Really!" she said eyes brows raised.
…..
Pulling out a chair for Amanda she took her seat, as he pulled out a chair for himself and sat looking at her.
"So are you just going to stare at me all day or you going to say something," Amanda joked
"What are doing here Amanda?" Luke questioned
She looked at the wine in her glass, "Having a drink." Amanda retorted quirking a brow.
He deadpanned her. "Amanda this isn't funny and what were thinking bring Rebecca with you." Luke bit out
Her smile dropped being replaced with a scowl, "Let's get one thing straight Luke I will do what has to be done to keep my daughter safe and I have always kept my little girl safe, Secondly my purpose here is business." She shot back.
"Amanda thing are done differently here, I just don't want either of you getting hurt." He said simply
Her faces soften a little. "I'm a big girl and I've been taking care of Rebecca all her life, I will make sure she stays safe." She reassured him squeezing his hand
Reluctantly he shook his head, "Fine, but I just got you two back an I don't want to lose you guy because of 'business'." He added.
"Good" she said patting him on his leg smiling
"Let's go back to the others; I don't trust those idiots with my princess." He explained helping her up
As they neared the others they both pick up on bits and their conversation. "So seeing that you're new in town, maybe I can show you around." Ethan offered with a smile
"Your service won't be required," Luke stated taking a seat
Ethan jumped at the sound of Luke's voice; "I was just being friendly." he defended
"Yeah well be friendly to some one else." Luke retorted
Rebecca laughed. "So what you're going to follow me now to make sure no guy hits on me." She joked
"You know what that's a great idea," he said seriously
"Well good luck with that, Mom tried and it didn't work." She said proudly
"How so?" Johnny asked
"She and Maggie followed me on my first date when I was six-teen." She said looking at her mother.
Amanda smiled into her glass, "way to go Mandy."Luke cheered with a smile
"So how did that play out?" Johnny asked with a smile
"Well I thought I saw them both but I brushed it off; thinking to myself they won't follow me. Anyway long story short at the end of the date he walked me to the door he was going to kiss me but mom jumped out of the bushes." She explained
They all bucked with laughter at her story. "What! He's lucky I didn't beat the crap out of him." Amanda said
"So what happened to the guy?" Ethan asked
"Well after my mom scared him, her and Maggie basically ran him off he never spoke to me again after that." Rebecca said glaring at her mother
"Need less to say i was very cautious after that." she added
"What! If he was intimidated by me and Maggie he didn't deserved to be your first kiss." Amanda defended
"First kiss." Rebecca asked puzzled "you thought that was going to be my first kiss." She laughed out
"What do you mean?" Amanda questioned
"Mom that wouldn't have been my first kiss," she said with a knowing smiled emptying her glass.
"What? But…. What!" she shouted
"Luke!" a voice called Lauren called as she walk in with Scott trailing behind her, she stop and she eyed the two women that sat at the table. Shock evident on her face Rebecca smiled ear to ear as she got up and walked over to Lauren.
"But how? When?" She said hands flying to her mouth
Rebecca ran and hugged her purposefully bumping Scott away from her, which didn't go un-notice by the others. "You've gotten so big." She pulled back looking at her, "you're so beautiful Rebecca." She said eyes glassed.
"It's so good to see you." She said not knowing how to address that topic.
"It good to see you Lauren." Amanda said coming up to hugged her
"How long have you guys been here?" She asked looking at the both of them
"They day before yesterday, we're staying at the Metro Court until our house is ready." Rebecca explained
Lauren smiled brightly. "So you guys are moving here?" she questioned
"For awhile at least." Amanda answered
"It's so good to see you;" looking over her shoulder "This is my husband Scott." She said pulling him over
Rebecca looked him up and down plastering a fake smile on her face. "Hi I'm Amanda and this is my daughter Rebecca." She gestured
"It's nice to meet you both," he said shaking Amanda's hand putting his hand for Rebecca to shake, but she just glared at it until her mother nudged her.
"Hi Scott." She mumbled
"Why didn't you tell me they were here." She scolded Luke
"Don't be mad at him Rebecca wanted to surprise you." Amanda said with a smile
Mean while Rebecca was still staring down Scott, "Is there something on my face or something." Scott joked
Breaking Rebecca out of her daze. "Uh oh no there's nothing on your face, it's just." She paused, "It's nothing forget it." She finished
"No please, if there is something you want to ask me just ask." He stated with a smile
Her brow knitted together and she pointed, "Is that a bald spot?" she asked bluntly
Johnny choked on his drink, Luke spat his out and started laughing along with Ethan and Johnny. Lauran had a shock look on her face, Amanda tried to glare at her daughter but was biting back a laugh.
"Rebecca!" Amanda scolded her "I'm sorry, please excuse my daughter."
"What, he said to ask." Rebecca defended
"It's ok." He said
"So… I take it by your silence that it is." She tested
"That's my girl!" Luke said laughing
"Don't encourage her Luke." Amanda warned
"Oh relax I'm kidding, I'm sure Scott knew I was." She smiled
"Yeah sure, whatever you say." He assured "so how do you know Lauren?"
"Luke is my God father, so Lauren knew me since I was a baby." Rebecca said.
"Well isn't that, lovely." he ticked
"I know right." She smirked.
