Blemished Love - Season 1 - Episode 61

The priest gave them his blessings and the rest of that afternoon was a happy day for them except Tom who was moody.


Melisa found out the pretty nurse Dane was with helped in gathering everyone around and getting a piece of fabric from her surgical cap.


Dane found it funny that she was actually jealous and kept leading her on.
Melisa actually gave her a one week to scrub in on her surgeries as punishment for going to her office without permission.
After their funny wedding nothing mattered to him than being with his wife of few minutes ago but Melisa insisted she had to go home and get some sleep before her night shift.
‘We just got married Lisa, shouldn’t we be on the road by now.’
‘In your dreams D.’
‘Are you annoyed about the way we got married?’
‘No, it’s perfect. We could have a bigger one once you get your prosthetics.’
‘Then what is it.’
‘That nurse from earlier.’ She faced him sternly.
‘Wait, are you jealous right now?’ He asked teasingly when he was the one leading her on earlier.
‘Shouldn’t I?’ She asked bossily folding his shirts back in to his bag.
‘Mom?’ Dane ignored her calling out to his parents knowing they were standing at the door hoping to come in since he came back to his room.
They both came rushing in.
‘Do you need help?’ Mrs. Reed asked.
‘Can you tell the new Mrs. Reed, who Peach is?’
Melisa didn’t know he was going to do that. She tried telling him to stop but he was adamant.
‘My cousin’s daughter. Why?’ Her mom muttered.
‘Nothing, my honeymoon just started with a bang.’ He said and Melisa gave him a smack.
His parents didn’t understand what was going on but they hoped to get their own issues with their son sorted out soon.
‘I guess I will see you later.’ Melisa kissed him and rushed out before he could hold her back.
So he was stuck with his parents and he had no choice than to talk over their issues.
‘Where are you off to in a hurry?’ Grissel asked Melisa who was storming out of the hospital.
‘I’m going home.’
‘Which of the homes?’ Tom chipped in.
‘Julia’s place.’ She said straightening her dress.
‘I thought you are married now.’ Tom asked sarcastically.
‘So I shouldn’t breathe anymore?’ Melisa was sounding angry.
‘You would get used to it.’ Grissel teased.
‘Lisa can I go to Daddy’s place with you?’ Dani who probably didn’t hear them earlier announced.
‘I’m not going to your Dad’s place.’
‘I will go anywhere with you.’ Shirley stressed.
‘Let’s get going then.’ Melisa said looking at Grissel for approval.
She saw Paige coming towards her and rushed off to meet her.
‘If you need help packing, just call me.’ Tom laughed.


***

It has been three months and Dane has since been cleared of every charge from the police. Henry’s friends confessed and got three years each for knowing about the duel but didn’t report. Henry was cremated and his brothers from Texas came for his ashes.
Everything was going on well with the entire family as they await Grissel’s bundle of joys so they could celebrate in a grand way.

‘It was nice having an alone sleep over time with you.’ Grissel mentioned to Stella when he drove her back home.


They were parked outside the gate having their final gist.


‘Let’s do this again, once you put to bed.’
‘I’m not sure that would be possible.’
‘Why not? Tom let you go out with me alone all by himself right?’ Stella asked.
‘Yes, it came as a surprise when he parked my bag for me last night.’
‘Then he can do it again. All you need to do is ask.’
‘I would try.’ Grissel rubbed her belly gently. ‘I can’t wait to start eating right.’
Stella laughed. ‘You are in your last month right?’
‘Ahuh, I have two weeks more to give birth and Tom has been giving me all the special treatments.’
‘You deserve it girlfriend.’
‘I know I do but he has made me lazy with this pregnancy and I’m not so sure I can give birth on my own.’
‘You can and besides, you’ve been taking the morning walks like Lisa told you to do two months ago.’
Grissel smiled. ‘I only managed a month. Tom was scared.’
‘Wow, but I’m sure you are healthy enough for the push.’ She teased.
‘Your time would come soon.’ Grissel smacked her.
‘Is this where you start telling Austin to spend more nights in his bed?’
‘I knew you wouldn’t take my advice.’
‘I couldn’t help it Grissel besides he was so charming and I just had t….’
‘Don’t say it.’ She cautioned. Your sex life isn’t my problem anymore, I’m just glad you two are happy.’
‘I’m sorry.’ Stella giggled.
‘Let’s talk about law school. Are you sure?’
‘Oh yes. I’m very sure I want to go back.’
‘Great, I already talked to Jessy to pay attention to you.’
‘Thank you but about the firm can you handle it then I pay up once I get my fees sorted out.’ She said sadly.
‘Don’t tell me you are broke Ella?’
‘I’m not but it’s a lot of money to withdraw from the company’s account.’
‘What happened to the trust fund? I thought your parents made that decision for your law school.’
‘Girl, I’ve spent half of that money while in Mexico. I don’t want to squander the rest.’
‘That’s messed up and I guess Daddy had no idea.’ Grissel muttered.
‘He would drop dead if I tell him.’ Stella mentioned.
‘What would you do now?’ Grissel enquired.
‘Dane.’ She mentioned.
‘You want him to help you?’
‘Of course, it was his fault I left school and went to Mexico in the first place.’
‘Seriously, if you want him to help you don’t have to blame him.’
‘I know but I think it would be a fresh start for us.’



‘Great idea but don’t worry I would handle the payout for the office space.’
‘I would pay back once our firm start getting clients.’ Stella replied her.
‘But I have to talk to Tom first about our decision to start a firm together.’
‘I’m sure he would agree. Austin is all in for it.’
‘You already told your boyfriend?’ Grissel was surprised.
‘What?’
‘We discussed this just last night and he already knows.’ Grissel said.
‘He called when you slept off and we run out of what to discuss.’
‘And the first thing that came in to your head is out joint venture.’ Grissel scolded.
‘I’m sorry, he likes the idea.’
‘Wait is that not Dane’s car parked out there.’
Stella looked out of the window and realized she was right.
‘What is he doing here and I thought Tom banned him from coming to your house.’ Stella asked.
‘It’s probably Melisa who had come to visit her brother.’ Grissel replied.
‘Yeah, you are right. Let’s go in so you could say Hi.’
‘Happy Birthday Grissel.’
‘Today is my birthday?’
‘You forgot?’ Her friend asked.
Grissel nodded. ‘Yes, why won’t I forget when I have two lives growing inside me and two kids at home who over pamper me.’
‘Why did you think I brought the entire ice-cream shop to the beach just for you today?’
‘I forgot we use to do that and I thought you were just trying to catch up.’


‘No, anyway have this.’ She handed her the file.
Grissel looked up at her face and opened it.
‘You are handing your position to Tom?’
‘Ahuh, and my dad suggested it since I told him about going back to school.’
‘He did huh!’ Grissel doesn’t sound happy.
‘Grissel, what is it?’
‘You do realize, this would take Tom out of town almost every time.’
‘I know so it’s his decision to make. Just be happy for him.’
‘I am happy for him. I want my husband to succeed but is it also selfish of me to ask him to be home all the time.’
‘No, it’s okay you want that but you haven’t even read the contract in there.’
Grissel took another look and sighed. ‘He can work from home if he decides to.’
‘Yes and he’s free to change job’s when he wants to as well.’
‘Ella, I love you. Thank you so much.’
‘I guess you should tell him the good news yourself.’
Grissel couldn’t wait to get back inside the house. With her belly doing the running for her she got in hurriedly and opened the door.
