Mr. George walked up to Gina and Patrick discussing downstairs and was so happy that at last someone could make Gina come out of her room for the past three days, she has been in her room crying and never wanting to talk to anyone, not even her father.
She was very angry at him for this arranged marriage but thank God Patrick is here and that is a very big relief.
Walking to where Patrick is sitting, he pat's him on the shoulder.
"Welcome back Patrick, how was school?"
"School is fine, thank you, sir,"
“Okay, let me leave you guys, you have a lot of catching up to do"
“Yes dad, see you later," Gina said without looking at her father or giving him a goodbye kiss.
"Hmm that’s unlike her" Mr. George muttered, he could see that Gina was really upset with his decision, but what needs to be done, needs to be done. so Mr. George left the two alone and went straight to the Jacksons' house to finalize their children's marriage arrangements.
Patrick wants to know everything that has been going on in Gina’s life and to know if he still has a chance in all this.
“So tell me, is there someone else apart from this dude?
“Yeah, his name is Ken, I met him in my hotel room, and we kind of...." She pause seeing the way Patrick looked at her.
“Yes, kind of what?" Patrick wants to know.
“Why do you want to know?" She smirked, feeling a little shy "I fell in love with him and we had sex the first day we met?".
“Wow! that was….. Something I couldn’t do for so many years" he said.
“Patrick stop, I'm not going to do that with you" hahaha, she laughed.
”But why?"
"Because you're my best friend, dummy,!"
“Yeah best friend and you’re making It sounds like is a bad thing, so let’s just become enemies so I can marry you."
“Patrick, stop joking around and just help me find Ken please, I want to see him again,".
“Is okay, if you say so, I will help you find your lover boy. So see you around" Patrick went straight home after seeing his best friend Gina after so many years. He couldn’t stop thinking about her the whole time.
Did he do the right thing? Or could he have fought for the love he had for her, maybe he was a coward to just run away like that, and not talk about the fact that he has never told Gina how he truly feels about her? but now is too late, she is about to get married.
But wait a minute, what about this Ken she's talking about? Hmmm, I hope things won't get out of hand because if Gina insists on loving this Ken guy more, then there’s going to be a problem, and not to talk of me helping her find him.
Gina..., you are putting me in a very difficult position, did she even know I'm in love with her?. Hmmm, I will try my best to help out.
Mr. George wasted no time in breaking the news to Gina. "Your marriage with Benjamin is finalized".
“What? Dad!, you can’t do that, I need to know him first, before I can marry him, you can’t just throw someone at me and think that’s the right thing to do"
“You're going to love him, he's the son of one of the most respected men in society today, you can’t possibly say no to him"
“Say's who? Dad!"
“Well Gina dear, do this for your daddy huh, is important that you say yes,"
He is beginning to sound desperate making Gina suspect that there may be more to this marriage arrangement that her father doesn’t want her to know about.
“Well, you guys need to give me some time to at least prepare myself," She only said that to enable her to buy sometimes to find Ken, she needs to see him because this can’t be happening to her at a time like this
