Blemished Love - Season 1 - Episode 60

Looking at it now he felt she was the best person to take care of the bag. He would have ruined it back in school..



‘What are you doing here?’ Tom stood up facing him when he came over.
‘I came to drop your sister’s bag. I went by the house but Julia wasn’t around.’
‘She’s probably in her office.’ Grissel chipped in to prevent the two men fighting.
‘Can you hand this to her for me?’ He handed Grissel an envelope.
‘Give that to her yourself. No one is going to do your dirty work for you.’
‘Tom stop intimidating him.’ Grissel told him with a glare.
‘I can’t believe you are defending this coward.’
‘He’s not a coward Love. He is just a soft man in love with a wrong woman.’
Bryan finally raised his head up.
‘Soft man?’ Tom questioned.
‘Yes and he reminds me of you.’ Grissel teased.
‘Me?’ Tom pointed out himself and glanced at the shy Bryan.
‘Ahuh!’ Grissel murmured.
‘Don’t compare him to me.’
‘My point is, he would do anything to have your sister the same way you would do anything for me.’
Tom looked at Bryan who was just staring at Grissel and then his eyes caught Melisa pulling Dane through the emergency unit. They were chatting and laughing.
‘Hey Lisa, your boyfriend is here.’ He called out to her from afar and then everyone’s attention was drawn to them.
Bryan turned around seeing him with Dane and he pushed his tears back. He grabbed the envelope from Grissel and quickly tucked it inside his pocket.


‘This isn’t a movie. You all should get back to your work stations.’ Melisa angrily told the nosy nurses who had started making jest of the situation.



They all retracted their steps back. The nurses always respected Melisa’s works and decisions since she joined them five months ago.


‘You should man up and face her now.’ Tom announced giving him a push forward. He staggered a little and then came facing Melisa.
‘I’m sorry for coming here like this.’ Bryan told her immediately their eyes met.
‘Can we talk over there?’ She pointed to the area the nurses vacated earlier. She forgot she left Dane in the middle of the room.
‘Okay, I’m sorry.’ He repeated following him with the bag.


Her eyes met him wheeling himself away sadly.


‘Wait here.’ Melisa rushed after him.
‘Is it done?’ Dane asked when he spotted her.
‘Not yet, but you were sad seeing me with him so I wanted to be sure you were okay.’ She bent down to his level so they wouldn’t draw much attention to themselves.
‘I’m okay and I think that pretty nurse right there could help me out with the process you talked about.’ Dane teased pointing at the nurse behind the counter.
‘Careful D. I might just give you another slap right here.’


He quickly gave her a kiss on the lips which Melisa wasn’t expecting so she pulled back.
Her first instincts was to check if Bryan was okay. She realized he saw what just happened.
‘That right there should make the rest of the break up easy for you.’ Dane laughed and wheeled himself away. Melisa’s lips went apart to say something but she couldn’t.
And before she knew it Bryan was standing behind her.


‘It’s okay Lisa. I get the message clear.’
‘I’m sorry Bryan, I was going to talk to you as soon as I get home.’
‘Now you don’t need to. I’m going away.’
‘Going away?’
‘Yes, I’ve been thinking about it since the shoot out and I knew once you found out the part I played our relationship would be over.’


‘Yeah I heard about what happened. Why did you do that?’


He scratched his head. ‘I was scared once he makes it alive, I would lose you.’
‘But you could have trusted I wanted our relationship to work.’ Melisa said feeling her brother’s gaze all over her.
‘No you don’t want me Lisa. It’s him you want.’ He gestured at Dane who was talking to the nurse he mentioned earlier.

Melisa frowned at how he was happily laughing with her. ‘I’ll deal with that later.’ She told herself quietly.
‘I didn’t hear you.’ Bryan thought she was talking to him.
‘I said I’m sorry.’ She lied about what she muttered earlier.
‘I’m fine and very glad you guys found your way back to each other. Trust me, I knew someday I would have to compete with him.’
‘Now you don’t have to because you came here to break up with me.’
‘Isn’t that what you wanted?’ Bryan asked.


‘Yeah, but not like this. You dragged my luggage to my work place just to break up with me Bryan, that’s humiliation.’
‘I’m going away this evening to my mom’s.’
‘Wow, that’s a great step for you.’
‘Yeah, I just hope I could put everything behind me.’
‘You should because I would keep in touch.’
‘Are you sure your precious Dane would want that?’
‘Bryan, its okay to be friends from afar.’
‘Okay, I have to be on my way now.’
‘Thank you so much.’ Melisa said drawing him in a hug. He hesitated for a while before accepting her warm arms.
‘Let me go now Lisa.’ He muttered when the hug was taking so long.
‘Sure. I also heard what you did for me with the police.’ It was just as if Melisa was stalling to prevent something big to happen.
‘They have been detained and been investigated. They weren’t directly involved but they knew about the duel and said nothing.’
‘I pray they get few years.’ Melisa muttered squeezing his hands which she held from earlier.
‘Tell your guy there not to mess up, because if he does I’m coming for him.’ Bryan pointed to Dane’s direction. She didn’t want to look back at him at that moment.
‘Alright, Bryan.’ Melisa found it amusing and laughed.
‘See you around.’ He said quickly leaving the bag in front of her and rushed out before she could stall him again.



Tom and Grissel walked over to be sure she was okay. Melisa wiped her face dry and came facing Dane and the nurse from earlier.
Melisa saw his Dad and Julia running towards them.


‘Dad what’s going on with you two?’
‘Lisa.’ Dane drew her attention to what was in his hands.
‘You play with toys now?’ She asked him.
‘It’s for you.’ Dane replied but she ignored him turning to his family behind her.
‘Dad, you haven’t answered me yet.’ She turned to them and Paige came along with Gina.
‘Hey, girlfriend.’ Paige greeted her and she smiled.
‘You all are acting weird.’
‘Just have a little patience Lisa.’ Gina requested.
‘Paige do we have a date I’m not aware of?’
Paige nodded.



Dane burst into a hilarious laughter.
‘Tom, may I?’ Dane gestured to Tom who obviously understood him.
‘Okay, I get it. This is about Bryan right.’ She said sadly. ‘You guys I’m okay.’
‘Are we late?’ Every one turned to the direction the voice came from.


Stella was slowly walking her dad towards them while her mom was in the company of Dane’s parent.


Then it dawned on her what was happening.
‘Okay, let me see what you have in that candy box.’ She forcefully took the box from him and opened it.


To her surprise it was a piece of her surgical cap wrapped up in the form of a ring.
She hit him playfully with the box.
‘I’m sorry, I couldn’t get a better ring immediately.’


She ignored him and tied the fabric on her left second finger.
‘Not on that finger, just come closer.’ Dane asked of her.


She looked back at everyone around him and saw Joe coming with an elderly man.
‘The priest is on time.’ Dane said and laughed.


‘Don’t tell me this is my dream wedding you managed to ruin.’ Melisa asked sternly.
‘I know it’s simple but this is what I can afford.’ He teased.
‘D, this isn’t fair.’
‘I know but I’m broke.’ He said untying the fabric on the other finger and then wrapping it on the deserved finger.
‘Daddy, I can borrow you some money.’
Dane totally forgot he had a daughter.
‘Princess, thank you but I think Lisa is okay with this arrangement.’ He laughed.
She stared at her finger and then back to the man in front of her.
‘On one condition.’ She blurted out laughing.


‘I would get that prosthetics anytime you want me to.’ Dane figured it out.
‘Good boy.’ She scratched her jaw playfully. ‘Dad, say something.’
‘If you are happy, I’m happy.’ Morris announced to everyone.
‘Awesome. What about you Aunty?’
‘I trust your judgment and besides you two crazy children deserve each other.’ She said laughing.
‘Yeah, you two are meant for each other.’ Tom gestured at her.
‘It means you are in support right?’ Melisa wanted to be sure.
‘Of course but I would still be watching from afar.’ Tom stressed.
‘Great, can you bless us now though I haven’t taken my bath yet?’ Melisa turned to the priest that came with Joe.
Those around her laughed and she realized her nosy nurses and other doctors were around.
