Sorry for the wait but I've been rather busy. Here's the next chapter, hope you enjoy!
Chapter 5
"So...you gonna tell me what's going on?" she asked.
He took a sip of his water. "Lucas will be here in a few minutes, then we'll talk, " he assured her.
"I thought he was joining us?" she said.
He smiled, "He ran into a lady friend he hasn't seen in quit some time."
She shook her head smiling, "Yeah right."
"So, why don't you tell me a little bit about yourself...Lynn, " he asked curiously.
"Is this a trick question?"
"No tricks, " he shook his head. "I'm just curious..." he said quietly.
"Curious about what? Why don't you just ask what you want to know?" she jumped strait to the point. He suddenly looked uncomfortable and that surprised her.
"How long have you and Lucas known each other?"
"Five years, " he answered. "I guess you could say he's all I have left."
She looked at him sadly, "You don't have any family...wife...kids..."
He laughed and sat back in his chair, "No, no family, no wife and no kids. I'm actually quit thankful I don't."
"Why?"
"I would never put someone I loved through such pain, " he said softly.
She didn't understand what he meant by the statement. "Pain?" she said confused.
At that moment Lucas walked up, "Excuse me for being late."
Jeff smiled, "How is Maria?"
Lucas chuckled, "She's good she told me to say hello to you."
"Can't imagine why, " Jeff replied.
Lynn watched the exchanged between Jeff and Lucas. They seemed to be really good friends. They seemed to trust each other a great deal.
"Ms. Connors is very curious about her current situation...she wants some answers, " Jeff told Lucas filling him in.
Lucas looked at Lynn, "If you value your life you'll stay with us for a while. The DeMarcos are not a family to mess with."
"DeMarcos?" she repeated. "Who are they?"
"Why don't you head back to your room and we'll join you in a few, " Jeff suggested.
She was about to protest but she just sighed and stood from the table and made her way up to her room.
Lucas watched her until she was out of sight and turned to face Jeff.
"What did you find out from Maria?" Jeff asked taking out a cigarette.
"They know about her. It's only going to be a matter of time before they find her, " Lucas stated.
"That's exactly why she's staying, " Jeff informed him.
I know this appears slow and I can't stand it when someone stays in the SAME area over a course of a couple of chapters but I promise we'll be through the dinner soon lol! Thanks to everyone that has read and reviewed and if you're just now reading please let me know what you think.
