Maggie and
Larry sat at the kitchen table, each clinging to a cup of coffee as Ariel led
Cassie into the room and to the empty seat at the table.
Cassie
yawned, “What’s going on? Can’t this wait until like tomorrow.
I’m still half asleep.”
Larry
sighed, “It can’t wait Cass, you know Dr. Allison
Cramer that was here yesterday?”
Cassie
nodded, “So what, Oh Mags I swear I didn’t like write
to her and ask her to come talk to you.”
Maggie took
a long, slow, sip of her coffee, “I know that Cassie that’s not what this is
about, well not fully.”
“What am I
missing?” she asked.
Maggie
looked at her father and he nodded, “Well Cass, Dr. Cramer is, she’s. God I
don’t want to say this Daddy!”
Larry sent
Maggie a warning look, “Cassie, that was your mother
that was here last night.”
Cassie
shook her head, “No, that can’t be true. Why, would she have come back after
all this time? No it can’t be the same woman, Dr. Cramer also has a little boy,
and her book bio said so.”
Larry
looked down into his coffee mug, “That’s you’re half brother. Allie is bringing
him by later today so you and Maggie could meet him.”
Cassie ran
her hand through her messy bed hair, “So are we just suppose to sit here and
let her back into our lives with some brother she never let us know about.” Cassie asked as she looked for an answer from
her father and sister.
Maggie
looked down at her cup, “Daddy wants us to try Cass. Besides no matter what Mom
did, our Brother isn’t part of that. At least not a guilty
part.”
“One
question though, is he our half brother or our full brother?”
Larry
looked over at Ariel, his eyes in someway saying he was sorry, “He’s you’re
full brother, my son. She lied to me about having the last miscarriage before
we divorced.”
Dan and
Abby’s Apartment
Ciel took a
long slow breath and she took the envelope out of her bag and placed a piece of
tape on it. She looked at the loving script that had written his name, before
she pressed the tape on the surface of the door. She thought about knocking and
running away. Leaving him like the coward she turned out to be.
She ran her
fingers over the letters a moment and then walked away from the man she had
just night declared her never-ending love.
Love and
Honor Set
Ophelia
James stepped out of the Cab and hoisted her bag over her shoulder, her eyes
set upon one of the biggest houses she had ever seen. She was greeted by a
seriously over hyper Wink
“Thanks.”
She said, “Um, what do I do now?”
Wink
smiled, “Just go on inside and meet the other women.”
Ophelia
nodded and stepped inside and saw all sorts of women. Some were tall, some
short, some blond, some brunette, and a couple of redheads.
Trista came
over, “Hi, its quite a site isn’t it?”
“Yeah it
sure is. Gosh I wish I remembered why I did this.” Ophelia confessed as Trista
led her deeper into the gaggle of women and over to Joan Vincent. “I found
another one who wonders why there here.”
Joan
laughed, “Hi I’m Joan and this is Trista.”
Ophelia
smiled, “Ophelia,
Allie and
Gary walked up the front path of the Williams house, “Mommy, are we really
going to met my Dad?”
Allie
nodded, “We sure are
“I don’t
really have a choice, do I?” he asked as she rang the bell.
A moment
later Maggie opened the door and coolly looked at her mother, “Mom,” she spoke
and then looked down at the ten year old with her, “You must be
Maggie
laughed, “I’m twenty-seven. Come on in, Daddy and Cassie are
in the living room.”
Larry
looked over at Ariel, “actually, I’m planning on getting married to Ariel.” He
said.
Maggie
almost choked on her drink when she heard that, “Well that answers a question I
had. So
“That’s
great.” Cassie said, still processing everything from this morning, she
couldn’t even imagine what was going through
Larry just
looked at Allie, wondering how she would answer this one.
“Well, I
left your father because I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to have
Maggie
stood up, “You have no idea how wrong. Excuse me I need to pack my things; I
have a flight to
After
Cassie left, Allie looked at her ex-husband, “I messed up big time, didn’t I?”
Larry
nodded, “You sure did. Allie, how could you keep
“I thought
I was protecting you and the girls. By the time I knew I wouldn’t miscarry, we
were divorced.” She said sadly. “Its not how I wanted
any of this to work out. Its just how it did work out.
For that I’m sorry. I’m sure we can come to some sort of custody arrangement
for
“Oh don’t
worry Allison, we’ll come to an agreement, I just don’t know if you’ll be
thrilled.”
Love and
Honor Set
“Alright
Brock, this is the big moment. We’ve got Kevin and Jade
mingling down there with the girls. So right now you’ll go down, charm them and
then we’ll have Kevin and Jade eliminate the first ten
girls. Are you ready for this?” Wink asked as she adjusted Brock’s tie.
“Yeah, I’m
ready, as ready as I will ever be.” He said as he looked at himself in the
mirror and then left and went downstairs, “Good Evening Ladies. I’m Brock
Jensen, the bachelor that you’ve been sent to meet.”
Joan stood
in the back of the room, her heart racing, her palms
sweaty, as she saw her ex-fiancé. “Wow, he’s at least hot.” Ophelia said to her
new friend.
“Yeah but
that is only worth so much.” Trista said before taking a sip of champagne.
“What matters are personality, and bank account.”
“Yes well,
no worry ladies. Brock Jensen is one of the wealthiest men in
“How do you
know that?” Trista asked.
“Oh I read
it in a magazine, I think.” Joan looked at Ophelia, “You’re the
Ophelia smiled,
“That when Brock Jensen is looking for a lady he treats her well. He’s come
into the bar I work at a few times. Funny, here I told my roommate Jade to go
after him. She’s signed to his label. She is however a little obsessed with
that man over there. Brock’s favorite music writer,
Trista
thought for a moment, “He’s married to a woman named Maggie right?”
“Yeah, how
did you know that?”
“Maggie
used to live in my building before she moved to
Joan nodded,
“It can be a very small world. You never know who’s connected to who.”
Dan and
Abby’s Apartment
Abby walked
into the living room and turned on the television, “Dan, that new reality show
Love and Honor is about to start! Get your butt in here.” She said before going
to the door to take out the trash when she saw the envelope on the door.
“Daniel! Get out here now!” she called out once again.
“Gees Abs,
I know you want to see this new show but for crying out loud.” He told her when
he came in and saw her holding the envelope, “What’s that?”
She shook
her head, “I don’t know, it has your name on it
though.”
Dan took it
from her and began to read it, “Ciel Left me, she’s
going to marry Kensington.” He crumpled up the letter and threw it towards the
bathroom. “I have to get out of here.”
“I
understand.” Abby told him as she watched her heartbroken older brother walk
out of their apartment.
Love and
Honor Set
Joan
escaped the cameras for a moment and found Wink
“Why? It’s
up to
“Because I used to be engaged to Brock Jensen.” She in formed him.
Wink
laughed, “I know, you’re staying in until Brock says you’re gone. Sadly tonight
the choice isn’t his.”
Joan let
out a huff and stormed back into the open set.
Pinõn
Hallow Airport
“Well, our
planes ready Ciel. Let’s go.”
“Alright, lets go. Ya know I thought he would
try and stop me.” She said as she looked back into the crowd of people, none of
them were Dan Adams.
“I know you
thought that, but this just goes to show that you and I were meant to be.” He
then led her down the ramp to the private plane.
A few minutes
later it took off towards
Love and
Honor Show
Wink
entered the living area where all the girls were gathered and looked straight
into the camera, “Good Evening America! Welcome to our new series Love and
Honor. I’m Wink
Kevin and
Jade then stepped out in front of the cameras, “Evening Wink.” Kevin said,
feeling the nerves of having the camera on him.
“For our
viewers at home,” Wink began, “I guess I should explain the next step, Kevin
and Jade here have met all the girls here and will narrow it down from twenty
five to fifteen, before Brock is introduced to you the American Public. So I
leave this ceremony to you Kevin and Jade.”
Wink then
looked at the girls and smiled, “Good luck to you all, I hope you receive a
key.”
Kevin
glanced at Jade and took a long, slow breath, “The first key goes to Joan.”
Joan came
up and took the key and smiled, knowing that she would be gone once Brock saw
her.
Jade picked
up the second key, “This goes to Ophelia.”
Ophelia
also came up and took the key.
Kevin and
Jade listed off twelve more names, before holding the final key. Kevin stopped
for a moment and smiled, as he looked out at all the girls, “The final key this
evening goes to Trista.”
Trista came
up and accepted the key, and smiled, “Thank you.”
Wink came
back in front of the camera; “We’ll be right back after this commercial break,
with Brock Jensen the Bachelor and clips of interviews with our fifteen
remaining girls.”
Kyle’s
Apartment
Siobhan and
Kyle were sitting on his couch watching the show, “You’ve got to be kidding me.
Why didn’t Kevin tell me he was going to be on TV?”
Kyle looked
at Siobhan, “Is that all you care about? The fact that your
brother is on TV and didn’t tell you? You don’t care that my girlfriend
is there with that creepy record executive?”
Siobhan
laughed, “Kyle you and Trista broke up, remember?”
Kyle
frowned and glared back at the TV, “He better not try anything with her.”
“Well, look
who’s jealous!”
“You are in
such a mood, what happened? Becker finally kiss you?”
Kyle asked with bitterness and sarcasm.
Siobhan
blushed, “Actually Becker showed up last night and kissed me, a few times
actually. That’s all that happened though.”
“Sure, I
believe you.”
“It’s the
truth. Besides he’s still my boss.”
