As they all dined together, everyone around the table had different thoughts running through their mind even as they conversed. While Sonia and Bryan were filled with joy at the prospect of beginning the forever journey with each other, Lucy was joyful on Sonia's behalf but couldn't stop thinking about Tom's question to her. What would be a dream come true for her? It seemed like with each passing day she was getting more thought-provoking questions that she had no answers to. Tom who was seated…-

"Isn't this the way to the house? Is the restaurant on this route or are we stopping by the house before going to the restaurant?" Sonia asked with a displeased frown as Bryan drove the car. As much as she liked being spontaneous she wasn't in the mood for spontaneity right now. She had planned to spend the evening just lying in bed until Bryan suddenly decided he was craving some fancy Chinese delicacy. She had suggested he order whatever he wanted but he had insisted they go out together since it…

Jamal was dozing in the back seat by the time Lucy pulled into the parking lot at Harry's place. After Lucy turned off the car she didn't get down immediately but remained in her seat staring at Jamal through the rearview mirror. Sometimes it was so easy to forget that he was only a kid because of the way he acted and spoke. She giggled when she recalled how he had proudly taken out the card to pay for their movie ticket. Now that was something. She couldn't wait to watch him grow up so she would…

Candace couldn't say she wasn't impressed by Bryan's and Sonia's taste as Jade gave her a tour of the house showing her every inch of it, while the workers busied themselves with their assignment both around and inside the house. "This place is going to be spectacular by the time they are done," Candace said, and Jade nodded. "I have no doubt about it. Now all we have to do is hope that things go smoothly tonight," Jade said and Candace raised a brow. "What could possibly go wrong? We both know…

After Tom and Harry had dropped off Candace at Bryan's new place, they went to the lounge where they usually used to hang out until Lucy showed up in Tom's life with all the accompanying drama. After they were seated and sipping from their wine glasses, Harry turned to Tom, "So? What's up with you?" Harry asked with interest. On their way they had agreed to only discuss personal stuff during this hangout, and not talk about work or business. Tom shrugged, "I'm alright. Sort of anxiously waiting to…

Harry, who was playing PS with his father, rose from the couch when the doorbell rang a couple of times. "It's probably Lucy," Aaron said since they were all aware that she was picking up Jamal for their little date and it was almost time for them to leave. "Yeah," Harry said in agreement as he opened the door. He scowled when he saw Tom standing there with Lucy, "If I had known you were out here I wouldn't have opened the door," Harry said, and Tom chuckled. "Why not?" Tom asked as he walked past…

"Do you know the difference between now and the last time you brought me here?" Lucy asked, an hour later as they got into Tom's car after she had been discharged. "Tell me," Tom said as he started the car, and she scowled at him. "You're taking me home yourself. You didn't abandon me like you did the last time," Lucy said as she fastened her seatbelt and Tom looked at her incredulously. "Damn it, Lucy! You didn't have to remind me that I was such a lowlife jerk," Tom said, and she giggled. "I…

Tom was awoken by Lucy's whimpers and he sat up on the bed to see her rubbing her stomach like she was in pain. "What's wrong?" He asked with a worried frown as he got off the bed and went to turn on the light. "My stomach hurts," Lucy cried softly as Tom went to her and used his thumb to brush off the beads of sweat on her forehead. "How bad is it? It's not menstrual cramp, is it?" He asked, since he remembered that she had already seen her period for the month and she was still naked so it…

As Tom drove the remaining distance to Lucy's apartment, he glanced at her from time to time still stunned by her drunken confession of love and support for him. Her words kept replaying in his head and the more he thought about it the lighter he felt. He had thought she had been overdoing it the previous day and was probably pretending to be okay when she wasn't, but after hearing her say this in her drunken state he was more convinced now that she really wasn't going to leave him over this, and…

Unlike Jade and Candace who seemed to have a high level of tolerance for alcohol, Lucy and Aurora were the complete opposite. Three shots in and Aurora was telling them her life history and all about her crazy sex with Philip while Lucy was laughing like a maniac about nothing and everything. "You know, It's funny that Tom and I met in the club and I'm seated here in a club right now," Lucy said with a giggle that made the others watch her in amusement. "Really? I never really got the details of…
