32. Before the " Group Date"
Dave wakes up to the smell of the black coffee fragrance, it seems Gea already wake up and had a cup of coffee. The Twins already sat nicely and look happy enjoyed their breakfast while Anna looks beautiful as usual standing in front of the kitchen cabinet with a cup of tea in her hand.
"Do I missed something here" Dave look around and decided he loves this ambience in the morning. Feeling like having his family complete, a wife, two children and his sister greet his morning really a nice feeling and view that he would not exchange it with anything
"Thanks, Aunt I love juice for breakfast" suddenly Jane grabbed the juice that Ava offers to him
'Yup, really complete with a niece that like to torture him' Dave think that is the best image to picture Jane as his niece after seeing how wonderful she and Gea team up either in teasing others or come up with a plan to support each other, just like when they convinced the Twins in helping him pursue Ava
His smile makes Gea tease him further
"Are you already picture your morning with a family surrounding you? hope you not place me as your second wife"
"What, no... what are you talking about?" Dave stuttering saw Ava reaction hearing Gea words
'do She, really have to torture me?',
"Are you plan to be my second wife?"
"NOO!!!" the Twins react right away hearing Dave reply to Gea, then rush to Gea side protecting her
Gea laugh and feel really warm in her heart with the Twins reaction
"What is it that makes my twins yell like that?" Deena entered the kitchen and saw Gea still chuckling at her boy's reaction
"Mom..." Three of them call Deena at the same time
"Come, we need to go to the barbershop, your father already has an appointment for both of you, and you young lady I need a little help from you."
"Yes mom" the three of the answers right away
Deena use this dating thing to have their hair cut, as it really was hard to make them agree on this
After the children left with their mother Gea excuse herself from Ava and Dave to the backyard, enjoying her cup of coffee and ready to read a book, while the two plans to walk around the neighbourhood.
David standstill in front of Gea kitchen when he heard Gea laughter, She sounds happy contrary to the shivering, trembling and fear he saw last night, he turns and walked away from the house.
He should gave her time that she needs, take a deep breath David decided to walk a bit. He continued to walks aimlessly before heard someone called him.
Look at his surroundings, he realised he already walkout from their neighbourhood without wearing anything to cover his face except a cap.
"David!!" He heard someone calling him
People start to get closer when realising who he was
He saw that is Olivia who called him, he quickly boards to the passenger seat of Olivia cab
"Sorry, for the trouble but you need to drop me at my house" David Sternly asked Olivia.
"Sure, we could do that!!"
David look perplexed heard the voice coming from his side, that replies to his order
"What's make you walk out of your neighbourhood without wearing anything that covers your face?" Lyla asked David
"Hmmm, nothing concerned you," David reply then close his eyes showing he does not want to get bothered
Seeing his actions Olivia asked the Cab driver to drive right away.
as it not really far away soon after they already arrived in front of Andrea house
Lyla waving her hand and pop up her head from the window when David board of the cab and saying goodbye to Olivia
"See you, tonight" Lyla yell right before the cab left
He goes right to look for his mother around soon after entering the house. He found her in their backyard
After releasing a ton of enormous breath
"Mom, can we talk?"
"Sure, what is it?"
"Do I really have to bring Lyla tonight?" David really wish Dave already told Andrea his relationship with Gea
"Why do you ask?" Andrea was wondering if David already know about Dave and Gea relationships
"It's just I do not feel like it"
"Oh, come on your excuse is way too lame, besides it will make me happy," Andrea thought it may be a good idea to test the waters. With Lyla surrounding perhaps, Gea could realise David existence and help their relationship or other way around.
pinch his forehead David walk away say nothing
He's back in his room and grabs his phone that already fully charged, turn it on and saw fifteen missed called from Edward and two messages
David decided to read it before calling Edward back. the pictures that Edward sent only put him in a really bad mood
Suddenly his phone rings
"Hello... are you okay?" Edward sounds concerned and talks cautiously
"Hmm, what you think, am I okay?" David asked back after a long silence
"I am dealing with it right now, it seems the journalist that we put to followed Lyla around thought it would make news and boost her presence in the entertainment world, however, as usual, it gets trough me before releasing it.
" Hmmm Mm " David couldn't thank enough that this arrangement required Edward approval
Not hearing anything besides David humming to let him know that he still there and listen, Edward, continue to talk
"I know this kind of stuff didn't concern you much as it could boost our actress and it will cool down after a while, however, consider your circumstance right now I need to check with you first before deciding to release it, so what do you say?".
"Just hold to it, and do not release it yet"
"Ok, David what I just sent to you, only the pictures but I'll send you the video as well.... you should watch it carefully"
"Ok!"
David glad Edward gets a hold of him first, considering everything he really a good assistant and friend indeed.
The picture that Edward talk was this morning when he boards on Olivia cab, where there is Lyla inside.
His phone blinking noticing that there is an incoming message.
David could understand, Edward wanted him to have the whole idea of this situation however why he seems to insist for him to watch the whole video and sounds bit anxious.
David took his phone and run the video out of Edward persistence, only to turn the atmosphere surrounding him below normal degree immediately
He sank in his chair before storming to the bathroom and put himself under the cold shower to calm his emotion.
Gea standing in front of her house as David get out from the cab till Lyla waving goodbye was clearly shown in the video as the journalist trying to get a better angle of the result in their favour.
