Sabrina had tried to call Seth to let him know what had happened with Roman and Nala. She was confused as to why he wasn't there. She knew why Mark wasn't there, Kathan had told her he was busy with his lawyers.
"He's still not answering", Sabrina said.
"Maybe he's at the gym", Serena said.
"No, he always answers, even at the gym", Sabrina said.
Serena looked at Dean after he had shifted in his seat.
"Baby, do you know where Seth is?", Serena asked.
"Me? No", Dean said, too quickly.
Serena raised a brow.
"Your lying to me now", she said.
He looked at her and then back at Sabrina. The light turned green and he drove.
"Its not bad. Its actually pretty cool if you ask me", Dean said.
"So then why can't I know?", Sabrina asked.
"Because he should be the one to tell you", Dean said.
Serena squeezed his arm.
"He's not cheating", Dean said.
Dean thought about it. He made his way to their dad's publishing company. Parking, the girls were confused.
"You should go see your dad Sabrina", Dean said.
Sabrina got off and walked inside. Serena looked at Dean.
"Did my dad do or say something to push Seth away from my sister?", Serena asked.
Dean took her hand and shook his head no.
"It will actually pull them closer. Wait till she tells you", Dean said.
Serena nodded.
"Seth will give her a ride. How about lunch?", Dean said.
Serena nodded.
"Good. I can tell you something exciting over food", Dean said.
"What?", she asked.
"Trust me, you're going to love it", he said.
She nodded.
Sabrina got to her dad's floor and waved at his secretary. Walking passed people who worked for him and saying hello. Getting to his office, she saw Seth at his desk with him. They were looking over papers and her dad was speaking. Seth would nodded and listen.
She walked in and crossed her arms over her chest. Both men looked at her.
"Brina", Seth said.
"So this is why you can't come and see me anymore? Why you can't answer your phone or text me back? What's going on Seth?", she asked.
Her dad cleared his throat.
"I'll let you two talk. I'll be back in a few minutes", he said.
He walked over to his daughter and set his hand on her shoulder.
"Listen to what he says before saying anything", he said.
Sabrina nodded. He closed the door behind him and Seth gestured to the chair beside him. She sat and he placed his hand on her knee.
"So, your dad overheard us talking about dating long distance. He didn't like that and offered me a job, running his publishing company in Tennessee. I accepted of course, I would be close to you. Anyway, he said he could teach me the ropes and in order for me to be ready for when we go. I would have to spend as much time here and learning from him as I could.", he said.
She nodded.
"All of my free time is here. I've learned a lot in the last few days mi amor. I know I've still got a lot to learn though. I didn't want to tell you in case this didn't work out, but so far it has been", he said.
She touched his cheek and smiled.
"So?", he asked.
"I could have helped you too. Serena and I always work with my dad during the summer. He's teaching us the ropes too in case.", Sabrina said.
"I just wanted to show you that I can do this. I wanted you proud of me", he said.
She kissed him.
"I am proud of you. You are definitely out of your comfort zone here", she said.
He nodded.
"I can still get a good workout at the gym. I'll tell you something though, I won't miss being a pe teacher", he said.
She laughed softly.
"How did you know I was here?", Seth asked.
"Dean. He didn't want me thinking you were cheating on me. He also said I should hear this from you", she said.
He nodded.
"Roman and Nala are at the hospital.", she said.
"What? Did something happen to the babies?", Seth asked quickly.
She sat him back down in his chair.
"Their fine. All of them. Just a little scare and Nala will have to go on bed rest", she said.
Seth sighed.
"How was Roman?", he asked.
"He handled it well. He knew Nala would need him to be calm", she said.
"Man, I have to call him later and apologize for not being there", Seth said.
"He'll understand. Mark wasn't there either. I guess he was busy with the lawyers", Sabrina said.
Seth nodded.
"He told us, we had breakfast this morning to catch up", Seth said.
Sabrina looked at the paperwork on the desk.
"So, what were you two doing before I walked in?", she asked.
He smiled and told her. She nodded.
Serena and Dean ordered their food.
"So what's going on? What has you so excited?", Serena asked.
"Well, Roman is going to New York. He's actually going to be working for your dad at one of his publishing companies", Dean said.
"Yeah, there's one in Tennessee too", Serena said.
Dean nodded. He knew that too because of Seth.
"So, I told him you got into Columbia and he asked what I was going to do. I told him I didn't know, that I would try to find a place and work there to be closer to you.", he said.
She nodded, taking a drink.
"He said he would need an assistant and that while working for him, he could teach me what he does.", Dean said.
Serena smiled.
"Like an intern. Yeah, Sabrina and I do that for my dad during the summer.", Serena said.
"I said yes. I know Roman and he won't treat me with disrespect or boss me around. He treats everyone as his equal. He's also very patient and with me and my attention span, I need all the patience I can get", Dean said.
Serena reached for his hand.
"You aren't slow. You'll learn quickly. I have faith in you", she said.
He smiled and leaned over the table, kissing her.
"Now all we need is a place to live", Dean said.
Serena made a face.
"What?", Dean asked.
"Well, see, my parents don't want Sabrina and I living in dorms. They want us to have our own space", he cut her off.
"They got you an apartment. Of course, they can afford it", Dean said.
"I know you hate that idea, but till we get better situated and have some type of income rolling in, we can find a place of our own", she said.
He knew she made a point.
"As long as I can pay your parents back. I don't feel good about this", he said.
"We can talk to them", she said.
He nodded.
"How crazy is it that Kaye and Sabrina will be near each other and you and Nala will be close too", Dean said.
"I can't wait. We can babysit the twins for them when they want to go out", Serena said.
That might have scared Dean in the past, but now he was looking forward to it. It could give him a chance to see if he was any good at being a dad.
