...
His laughter was almost soothing, comforting, like everything is okay. She often finds herself smiling and feeling all fuzzy whenever he's like that. Their common room was heavily scented with potpourri and scented candles. It kind of made her a little dizzy, but you'll get the hang of it since every room smells that horrible.
"That doesn't happen when you're doing all the fun" she pouted, resting her chin on her knuckles as she sat. "It's unfair" she muttered. Countless times Dante tried to get too playful with her, he might have grabbed her ass intentional or accident, and he gets away with it. She on the other hand, finally shows some descent affection and they get caught.
"Well" Dante snickered, lounging back beside Trish. "I'm pro at showin' some lovin'" and again that air of cockiness and confidence Trish grew to love.
Trish rolled her eyes at him and stretched as she stood up, "From now on, I'll live the showin' some lovin' part to you" and she walked away, shaking her head.
That statement kind of sparked a little something on Dante as he pulled his lips back in a grin. "I dig that" he said, following her with his eyes as she exited the room. For a moment, he just sat there, the strong fragrance of the room was penetrating through his senses to the point that he could almost taste it.
Besides, it's not too late for him to do that thing she likes, he could still hear her sensuous footfall in the hallway. So with no rational explanation to what he was planning to do, he jumped to his feet and jogged outside to catch up on his wife.
"Trish" he called.
She looked back only to realize that it was already too late to defend her self. He already caught her in surprise and caught her in his arms too. His hands moved to her sides, upon realizing this, she tried to get away from him as soon as possible.
Dante was the first one to discover Trish's weak spot which happened to be her sides, and that's where he started tickling her. Granted she's beautiful, doesn't matter when she's pissed, sad, hyper or what. But when she smiles and she laughs...
He'll do crazy things just to see her laugh.
In fact this scene was kind of nostalgic, Trish's laughter echoed through the halls and as she tried to wriggle and fight her way free, He just remembered how it used to be. The lazy afternoons back in the shop, no jobs, no distractions, just the two of them roughhousing, loud music covering up her protests and her screams. Good times he thought.
"No more" she pleaded, her stomach was already painful from laughing.
Finally, she was able to break free from him, running as fast as she can but she could never be too fast for him. He grabbed the back of her dress and locked his arms around her waist, digging his chin through her neck, she laughed harder that it almost made her cry.
This.. was music to his ears. "I'm just showin' some lovin' babe" he teased as he continued the onslaught. It wasn't long before they were on the carpeted floor, wrestling each other, rolling and laughing at their selves, refusing to give up, who's pinning who.
And from downstairs, everyone could hear her delightful screams, his heavy footsteps, furnitures tumbling over, the sound of something falling. "Young love" Auntie sighed as she sipped her cup of tea in the parlor with Evie and Elena, the two women were thinking of something else.
Finally they found themselves unable to pin each other down, languorous with how the tickle chase ended up in a wrestling match. They lay flat on their back, looking up at the stretched and painted ceiling, not knowing which part of the house they were already in. Flower vases, small surfaces and other things disturbed from their place of arrangement and scattered on the floor.
They were trying to regulate their breathing due to the unplanned work out, "We haven't done that in a while" she breathed with crimson cheeks and bright eyes.
He laughed, "PG version of sex?" he teased. "you missed it"
"Yeah" she replied, "I guess I did.." She turned to him and saw his ruddy smile and messy hair, his face glistening with sweat, his eyes were tamed and gentle. She stared back at the ceiling, it was painted with flowers of royal blue and purple in an elaborate vase.
He was still looking at her... Even if she can't find the courage to look him in the eye and pretend that nothing is wrong, that everything between them is okay now. She was embarrassed, ashamed even.
"You found what you were looking for?" he asked, trying to guess what she was looking at, what was so damn fascinating with the ceiling that she won't look at him.
She didn't respond, he doesn't have to bring that up, even if he had every rights to.. He was still rubbing it in, how he woke up one day and she was gone and they weren't partners anymore. At least she left him breakfast, he threw it out.
"You think everything you left behind was worth it?" he followed, it wasn't his intention to offend her, he just wanted to know. After all, the only thing she left behind was ..him.
"Stop it..."her tone was hushed, it was almost a whisper-- a pleading whisper.
He thought he sensed the regret in her voice so he said no more and neither did she, he stared back at the ceiling, silent and content.
Everything was quiet all of the sudden, even as they ate lunch with the rest of the family. The table was crowded due to Vergil and Elena's addition. It was a good thing Evie and Elena were talking and planning animatedly about the wedding, asking for everyone's opinion and ideas every now and then. Vergil seemed not to care, his headset prevented him from getting in touch with everyone who tried to talk to him.
But he was a keen observer...
Trish and Dante still weren't talking to each other, even if they're just inches away. it wasn't long before everyone noticed the tension between them, so Evie just tried to cover up, Trish would have never been so thankful...
It was a good day out, the sun wasn't harsh and the wind was pleasant. After taking their lunch, Trish decided to stroll along the garden with ChanLu just to clear her mind of some things. The garden was landscaped with flower beds and decorative bushes, shrubs and a fancy fountain right in the middle. On yard, just a little bit further away from the house, the trees grew abundant; apple, lime, chestnut, oak, willow and birch
Trish sat on a small stone bench under the shade of a beautiful crabapple tree in bloom. ChanLu didn't mind standing, she rested her hands on the canary colored sash around her waist. But Trish urged her to sit, so she did.
"Beautiful huh?" Trish said, looking up at the distant view of the lake and Verona State Park at the other side of it.
ChanLu nodded frantically, she's just eighteen and a hopeless romantic, as much as she hesitated to ask. "The Young Miss and The Young Sir had a fight?" her voice was comforting and curious at the same time.
Trish met ChanLu's youthful eyes, round and slanted. She laughed, "Not really, why?" She grew to be very fond of her hand maiden, with ChanLu's chubby cheeks and chinky eyes (which disappears whenever she smiles), her accent whenever she speaks and the way she refers to everyone in the third person, something Jade tries very hard to train her out of.
ChanLu pouted her lips, "They weren't talking while they ate lunch, Miss (Evie) looked worried and started panicking by talking to everyone!" ChanLu informed, her eyes were wide with sincerity. "That's why ChanLu thought Young Miss and Young Sir had a fight"
Trish nodded, "There were just some things we needed to talk about" she confessed, staring down at her lap where pink petals were scattered. "and I think neither of us likes to talk about it"
ChanLu didn't understand what her Young Miss meant because her view of things were way behind her age, she's happy and life was easy for her even if she have some responsibilities and obligations to fulfill both as security and servant. "ChanLu can tell Young Sir likes Young Miss very much"
"Dante likes a lot of girls" she retorted, hoping that ChanLu would say something to comfort her from this fact.
"Is it true that Young Miss ran away from Young Sir back when they were working?"
"How did you know that?" Trish was a bit surprised
"Maids know everything" ChanLu confessed, picking up a crabapple flower, "ChanLu and Sister (Jade) talk about Young Miss and Young Sir a lot" she giggled, "Young Sir and Sir (Vergil) are very handsome"
"Yeah." she answered, smiling. Yeah, so he's hot, what about it?
"Why did Young Miss ran away?" ChanLu asked, picking off the petals from the flower one by one.
Trish sighed, casting her eyes down as she remembered what happened, "He said some really stupid things" she said softly.
Trish paused and there was a moment of silence then "Young Sir loves Young Miss!!" ChanLu cried with joy, clapping her hands ecstatically.
"What?" Trish asked, confused
ChanLu handed her the last petal from the flower, "The flower said, Young sir loves Young Miss" she was flushing with excitement.
Trish laughed as she kept the petal, it was childish and it came from a very unreliable source, but if she believed it, much like ChanLu, then who is to care? ChanLu took Trish's hands and pulled her up to dance. Sometimes, she might forget that she's just a lady-in-waiting, that she's also a security. But she's just ChanLu, at least that's what she tells herself.
...
From the great balcony at the back, Dante could clearly see the two women, laughing and splashing each other by the lake. He could just stay there, looking at her, gazing at her, without her knowing. During these lazy afternoons, Evie would play music, the surround speakers would play out any random song from her playlist. This was to keep music inside the house, like how Eva did, only Evie couldn't sing. And right now, some country music is playing. Country music is devil worship, that's what Dante thought, even if the chick singing it sounds hot.
"Women trouble?" a warm, husky voice asked.
Dante grinned, "Pretty much" he confessed, He was leaning his back on the balcony, looking down at how ChanLu and Trish were ruining their hair and their clothes, they'll get in trouble with Evie he thought.
"What did you do?" Ben asked, raising his eyebrows.
"Me?" Dante eyes widened, "She's the one making things difficult" he reasoned
Ben sighed, "It would be best if you approach her and apologize" he began
"Why me? it's her fault" he frowned, looking back at the two.
Ben chuckled, "One rule my boy" his eyes smiled with a spark only a father can give to a son. "We are bound to ask for forgiveness first, doesn't matter who's fault it was"
Dante sighed with submission, "Fine.. fine, I guess... So you know the whole story huh?"
Ben grinned, "We contacted some people, you're very popular, it wasn't hard to find the story your Aunt was looking for"
"What did she say when she found out about the whole thing?" Dante asked, he was expecting worst actually. He thought demon babes were off limits now, specially after what happened with his father and mother.
"Evelyn got worried with the fact that Trish is an American"
"An American?" Dante repeated, smiling at Ben's remark.
"Yes" Ben said, looking at Trish from a distant, "Tall, blonde, Classic American beauty yes?"
Dante nodded with a grin, "I guess"
"Italian-American, you'll make great looking kids" Ben remarked.
"So.." Dante turned to Ben, he never really asks for advice, but the moment calls for it, and he wanted to make great looking kids with her too. "What should I do?
Ben tilted his head to discern what Dante meant.
"I mean, I can't just talk to her right? What do I say? What do I do?"
"Buy her shoes" Ben advised with no hint of doubt, "works all the time"
Dante was about to complain, but a phone call prompted Ben to bid him farewell.
Beautiful, Wonderful, Perfect All American girl
and the song ended, he was left to wonder.. "What's ...her size?" but Ben was no longer there.
He pulled out his white sleeves to check the time, it was quarter to two. If he took Evie.. No, he had enough of Evie shopping, but surely what does he know about women's shoes? That's when he remembered a woman who is just as a man as he is, and who's got great taste when it comes to shoes—or not, she better be though.
He jogged back to his room and got his mobile phone. He always thought it was unnecessary, that is until Trish gave him an unexpected phone call (they spent an hour or two not talking but felt completely fine), He uses it as a paperweight. Aside from that, it consumes electricity for charging so he regrets purchasing it.
He could only hope she's willing to do this for him.
...
Lady stood outside as she waited for Dante, she got excited when he calls her up, only to find out they're going to buy shoes for Trish. She rolled her eyes, they're just shoes after all, nothing to fret about.
He emerged from the exit door followed by goggly goo eyed stares from female shoppers, a big brown paper bag at hand, "I never thought I'd say this to you" he breathed with a smile, "but thanks"
"No problem" she smiled, looking back at the female shoppers with a grin which clearly states, Don't hate me coz I'm lucky.
It was already 8, quite early for Italy. "So" she began, "How were you?"
They were strolling along the brick road of Piazza Bra, where all the expensive designer clothes are lined. Direct contrast to the bazaars at Piazza Embre. Lady stopped by to view the amazing light display in The Arena. There was nothing more spectacular than the lights in Italy at night.
"Trish alright?" she asked
"Yeah" he answered, not at all minding the sudden interest, "I swear I'll make it up to you" he promised, he realized she got sulky all of a sudden, he thought it was because of this favor he asked of her.
It was close but not close enough. Dante never bought her anything before..And they've known each other for a very long time.
"You gave her a sword, a necklace, then shoes. Don't you think that's a little anticlimactic?" she mused, trying to hide her disappointment.
Dante chuckled, he can't explain that. "I have my reasons"
"How do you find her?" she asked, it was direct question, and a direct question would always call for an indirect answer. In Dante's case, a question direct or not would always get an answer that would be just close, but not close enough.
"She stays four hours in the bathroom, sings to herself, watches morning cartoons, leaves her bras on doorknobs, and yeah.." he looked at her sincerely, "she's amazing.."
Lady got worried, "you know, I never thought you'd keep her that long" they were both looking at the starless sky, the lights were just too distracting.
"What do you mean?" Dante asked, looking at Lady.
"Let's just say she's not the first blue eyed blonde you took home with you" it was true of course, but this was one of her attempts to devalue Trish, to Dante at least.
"Oh that" Dante sighed, "I've given you quite an impression huh?"
Lady shrugged, she wanted it to be like that, Trish is just some chick he met, end of story.
"She's different" said Dante, looking down as if he's embarrassed to admit it, "It's nothing like that with her"
Lady felt a pang in her throat as she studied him, wondering what he was thinking, if she could still stop it, if she still have the courage to. "You know I was wondering"
"What?" Dante asked, most willing to answer any question from her after what she did for him.
"Why Trish left?"
The question changed his mood all of a sudden... "You'll find it funny" he wished he never have to tell anyone about it and that she'd just drop the question and ask him something else.
"Try me" Lady urged.
Dante let out a heavy breath as he looked elsewhere, "I told her I love her"
Lady wasn't expecting that and Dante heard how Lady made a soft gasp.
"First time I told a woman I love her then she runs off" he made a humorless chuckle, "Now I know it's very inadvisable"
"Oh.." was all Lady could say
Dante chuckled again for a reason Lady didn't quite get, "Look, I gotta go home" he said, shaking his head.
Lady nodded "Kay.."
"You want me to drive you? Where are you staying?" he said, feeling guilty about having her come all the way here then leaving her.
"No" Lady said, "It's okay, I'm going to stay out for while" she forced out a smile. It was a good thing that it's already dark, because then he won't be able to see the sadness in her face.
"Take care" he said, as he jogged towards the black Benz was parked nearby. He can't wait to get home, something tells him she'll like the new pair of boots he got her. "Call me!" he called back.
Lady lighted a cigarette, something she only does when she feels all messed up. She had a thought in her head, He gave her a name, her gave her a new life... what would a sword, a necklace and a pair of expensive boots say to that?
...
Evie, Elena and Auntie had a small talk earlier regarding Trish and Dante's odd behavior. They were back at the parlour, sipping their afternoon tea and eating their finger sandwiches.
"They really had a fight then?" Auntie asked, her voice was concerned and loving.
"That's just a hunch" Evie said, "But I'm sure of it, you saw them right? They're totally having this cool off" she turned to Elena.
Elena nodded back, her dirty blonde hair properly tucked in with a white headband.
"What shall we do?" Auntie asked, hoping that it wasn't serious.
"I have an idea!!" Evie cried, "What if.." she leaned closer in a huddle, Elena and Auntie did the same. "We lock them in one room!"
Auntie flushed as she giggled, "Don't you think it's a bit too early for that? Our Trish is so very young" her eyes were full of concern.
"Eva was way younger when she had the twins" Evie reasoned.
"Yeah, Don't you think it's about time to have a baby in the family?" Elena said
Evie smiled widely, Elena just said the magic word-- baby. Auntie would want nothing more than great grandchildren.
Auntie chuckled, "Yes, I believe so"
"So it's settled" Evie summarized, "We'll lock 'em up.. Tonight! Just like old times and leave the rest to them, kiss and make up?"
"more like make out" Elena followed, and they started laughing.
Auntie summoned for Jade, "Do we still have some tonic my dear?" she asked.
With a smile, Jade gave her a curtly nod.
"Good, we need it tonight, you know what to do..."
"This is good" Evie laughed "So if they decided to do it again on their honeymoon, she can enjoy it" Evie and Elena giggled, so did Jade.
"Haia!!" Auntie lightly tapped Evie's knees, the old woman was all pink.
"All we have to do then is wait for our little bundle of joy"
