6.Ethan

 Ethan . . . . .

I never planned to spend more than two days in Italy but my father managed to keep me occupied all I thought about was work which is why when I saw a now familiar number flash on my phone I forgot how strict my father can be.

 I expected her to be angry for not calling her as promised but instead she tells me about the plans she's been pushing forward. Why would she make plans when we already have plans.

Where are you going? I hear my brother ask me. Realizing I'm already grabbing my coat ready to leave. Great.

Home. I answered already leaving. Dante followed closely behind me without asking why I suddenly want to return.

Once my flight landed we drove straight to her house to hear her explanation in person. I saw the color drain out of Dante's face after seeing Blondie at the door. Feeling impressed by my little pay back. I refocused back on Blondie who was equally shocked but again focused on me before calling Jane in panic then rushed back inside which I followed behind.

His here. Blondie said.

I turn my head to her direction and I see her in once again pajamas, messy hair and swollen eyes. She stands up wiping off something of her face realizing she had been crying and I panic

What happened? I asked crossing the room so that I am standing next to her.

But she doesn't answer, only stares up at me with her now crystal eyes biting her lower lips.

What happened? I ask again this time in a Lower but firm voice with my hands on both sides of her cheeks seeking answers in her watery eyes.

I.. she choked. I thought you didn't want me anymore. she cried

What made you think that?

You cut the call while I was still talking.

That's because I needed to get on a plane and explain to you in person why I couldn't call you as planned.

Oh. She said slowing her crying. Can I hug you?

I see the girl that was hugging Jane early face palm herself and I laugh before pulling her into my arms.

Do you feel better now?

She nodded but still held me.

Do you want to go home with me? I just spent the last few hours flying back home to you and I haven't slept match in three days.

She nodded again, can I? she asked Blondie.

Yes why not, but after you change out of your misery. Now let got of him.

 Janes hands loosened and stepped backward, Blondie, now molly dragged her back to her room.

Please feel at home, Louise said and I hope Jane didn't scare you off, she's really emotional and has no filter.

 That is not a problem, I like that she's able to say what's on her mind without restrictions its a charm many of us lack. i said making myself comfortable. 

Good to know. can I offer you anything?

Just water please.

Alright then.

You knew? Dante who I forgot was present started talking.

Yes

You should have warned me about it.

And miss all the fan? I can't do that but on the bright side you get to see Blondie for free.

 she wants nothing to do with me

What did you do?

She's lady Alan's daughter.

Our new business partner? she's blondies' Mother?

Her name is Molly not Blondie

So is Jane not SpongeBob

Fair but Yes. apparently, she has been urging her daughter to marry and I happened to show up with her daughter in my defense, I had no idea she was the daughter.

Wow, did you at least say thank you for helping you out?

No she thought I used her and she beat me up afterwards.

Is that why you were limping?

Shut up.

Got you.

Sorry for keeping you waiting, Molly said coming out of room with Jane. her hair is stubborn but please take her she has no plans for the week.

I have to work on Thursday.

No dear I got you cover now go get married.

Shall we?

Yes please go.

Bye. 

** ** ** **

Are you seriously taking her to your place? Dante asked? In a whisper after Jane had fallen asleep in the back sit. It was a three hours ride home.

What do you think?

I mean you have never taken any woman back home.

She's not just any woman. Dante is right I have never taken any woman back home all my associates meet me at a hotel but Jane is not a woman I can just take to the hotel.

You are really in love.

Just drive Dante.

Come on, tell me which family does she come from?

Just an ordinary family, they own a library. She's has an elder brother in university right now and both her parents are retired so they run the library together.

That's all you gathered?

Yes, I had three people investigate her and that's all that came up. Why do you ask?

Nothing I am just surprised how all five people hang out with such an ordinary person.

I would have just asked her out but her friend group made me investigate her back ground and had people follow her and they found nothing out of the ordinary everyone came back with the same story.

I will find out if something feels off
