Blemished Love - Season 1 - Episode 45

☆☆


As the days went by Grissel found it difficult staying in the same house which she once left behind but with a little help from her mom she adjusted. Dani got a new school two weeks after the wedding and Dane wasn’t heard from since then.


Grissel was already five months into her pregnancy and Tom was already tired of her childish attitude hence he had to bring his office to the house just to be around when she calls.


Tom was now so found of Shirley and Grissel always felt alone sometimes but then Melisa had explained to her it was just her hormones.

‘Stella, can you get the door?’ Mrs. Medts asked from the kitchen.
‘Alright mom,’ Stella said dragging her feet on the floor. She just came back from a night out with Austin and her mom insisted to get her a hot tea as she seemed a bit drunk.
She walked to the door and turned the knob. ‘Austin?’
‘Yes, I came to see you.’
‘I just met you over two hours ago.’
‘Two hours. That’s true but I missed you so I came over.’
‘Gosh, how do you even know this place?’
‘We have lots of mutual friends my dear.’
Stella was just holding on to the door watching him smile. She knew it was Grissel.
‘And the security at the door?’
‘Ooh, wine fixed that.’
‘You gave him wine on the Job.’
‘You are crazy right now.’
‘Yeah, I think I’m crazy about you.’
‘Who is at the door Stella?’ She gasped and looked back. Her parents were the main reason she didn’t want Austin to know her place.


Her parents would definitely like him more than she does but she felt they should take their relationship a bit slow. Over these five months, she had only seen him four times and that was okay with her as she didn’t want to push it.



‘No one mom.’ She quickly got out of the house and closed the door before her mom could come out of the kitchen.
‘Let me greet your mom.’
‘That’s not happening. Let’s go already.’
‘Go where?’ He asked looking back at the door.
‘Your car? She said dragging him away when her phone rang from her Pajamas pocket.


She let him go and reached for her phone.
‘You might want to get that.’ He said smiling sheepishly.
Stella hissed and answered the call.
‘Grissel, shouldn’t you be sleeping by now?’
‘Yes, except my husband took my daughter on a date and then Austin called about your address.’
‘So you couldn’t ask me first before giving out my address.’
‘Is he there yet?’ Grissel ignored her question.
‘Yes, he’s here smiling and annoyingly happy right now.’
‘That’s good right.’
‘No, I don’t want my parents to get attached to him too.’
‘He’s not Henry. Just let him meet them.’
‘It’s a waste of time talking to you.’ Stella told her.
‘Just do the right thing and besides you are not a child anymore.’
‘Thank you for reminding me I’m almost thirty.’ They had a deal back in law school to settle down before thirty.


Grissel laughed so loud. ‘Can I ask?’
‘No and I haven’t slept with him yet if that’s what you are asking.’ Stella replied quickly.


‘Good girl. Let me leave you two to talk.’
Stella sighed. ‘Hey, do you need anything?’
‘I’m craving for ice cream all the time and the boss of the house says no.’
‘Well, he’s right so just hold on there until those two boys are out.’
‘That’s not fair but thanks for letting him work from home.’


‘I did that for you and I think he’s always on time with his paper works.’
‘I love you Ella.’
‘I miss y…..’ She was saying when her mom came out.
‘Who do we have here?’ Mrs. Medts said when she came out.


Austin looked on waiting for an approval from Stella before he could go ahead.
‘Mom, wait for us inside.’
‘Okay dear. Your dad and I would be waiting for you.’ Mrs. Medt smiled and went back in.
Stella swallowed hard knowing the kind of drama awaiting her inside.
Grissel hanged up before she could say anything else.
‘Hey, I’m sorry. We can do this another time if you are not ready.’


Stella frowned at him and walked closer. She gave him a playful knock on his head.
‘You are annoying right now but then we’ve been seeing each other for five months and if you think you are ready to meet my parents then I won’t stop you.’
‘Thank you Stella’
‘Let’s go already.’
‘I think this is the first time I’m seeing you half naked.’


‘Jeez,’ she smacked him again.
‘Can I sleep over?’ He asked when he was about to open the door.


Stella looked at him and smiled. ‘I think you should go back home.’
‘Alright I would behave now.’ He pleaded and entered the room after her.


Mr. Medts was seated on his favorite chair with spectacles on while Mrs. Medts came out from the kitchen with a tray.
‘Dad, I told mom not to wake you up.’
‘So I could miss this family drama. No way Princess.’


He laughed and Austin joined in the laughter.
Stella hit him with her elbow to stop laughing.
‘Why isn’t he seated?’ Mrs. Medts hurriedly dropped the juice tray on the table beside her husband and walked to Austin holding him to have a seat.


Stella couldn’t help but laugh. ‘You haven’t seen anything yet.’ She told Austin after she walked closer and noticed the shock on his face.


He smiled back and they got talking throughout the night. Stella insisted he had to leave and her parents didn’t want him to.

They got him the guest house just outside the main building and that saved them the drama.

***

Henry was nowhere to be found after the wedding and Tom was so worried he might be lurking around his house. Though they had reported to the police after the wedding, Tom was still not comfortable especially when he found out Grissel was going to have two boys in four months. He hadn’t left her side since then.



Grissel wasn’t happy when her husband restricted her from going out of the house or buying anything but Julia made her understood Tom was just protecting his children.


Before they left for their date night she had pleaded to come with them but Tom insisted it wasn’t her turn yet. Grissel sprawled on the couch after talking to Stella waiting for Tom to get back soon.

‘Hey, you seem not sure of this.’ Bryan said to Melisa pointing to her luggage in his shop.


‘It’s nothing.’ She feigned a smile.
‘You know, it’s alright if you don’t want to move in with me yet.’
‘Bryan, I already told you I want this.’ Melisa said standing up from her seat to meet him half way over the counter.
‘Okay, so why the sad face.’ He cupped her face in his hands. Melisa tried to kiss him and he let her go.



‘I guess you have an answer to your earlier question.’
‘Wait, you were sad because I wouldn’t touch you.’ He laughed.
‘This isn’t funny Bryan.’
‘I know but I just want to do the right thing.’
‘Which is the right thing here?’ Melisa asked walking closer to him again.
‘Making you my wife first.’
‘Last I checked marriage wasn’t even on the table for the both of us.’
‘Yes but what if I’ve changed my mind.’
‘That’s not a problem but we can get ahead of that.’ Melisa said stylishly and held his face closer.


He looked up at her lips and pushed her away slowly. His phone vibrated in his pocket and he nervously picked it up while Melisa stared at him.


‘I’m sorry,’ he nervously said after reading the message and putting the phone back in his pocket.


‘It’s been five months and you keep giving one excuse after the other.’
‘We talked about this Lisa.’ He said remorsefully.
‘Yes and I’m tired of waiting.’
‘I don’t want to disobey y…..’ He was about to say and paused with his face down immediately.
‘Disobey who?’
‘Forget it. Let’s send your stuff in.’ He regained his composure.
‘Did my dad or Julia put you up to this?’ She asked raging.
‘No, I didn’t say that.’
‘Then who is making you this nervous.’
‘I said let’s forget it Lisa. He’s not worth it.’


‘Was is Dane?’ She asked and got no response from him. ‘Or Tom.’


Bryan raised up his head at that moment yet again with a frown on his face. Melisa got the message and grabbed his hand luggage which was up close. She rushed out of his shop towards her car parked in front of the next shop while he followed.
‘Lisa, wait for me.’ Bryan said following him.


She dropped her luggage in the booth of her car and drove off.

‘Uncle Tom, so tell me what you like about my mom.’ Dani asked when Tom parked in front of their house and was about to enter the house.
