about you, Cynthia? Last time I saw you, you were still swooning over Pete,” Desiree said. Cynthia’s cheeks flushed a bright crimson when Desiree said that.
“ What do you mean?” Cynthia asked trying hard to avoid eye contact by looking down on the already empty plate.
“ Oh come on, cuz. We all noticed you and Pete whispering sweet nothings to you in that strange accent of his during my birthday dinner,” Rochelle said.
“ You may have read too much into all that,” Cynthia said. A smile played on Desiree’s lips.
“ Why are you so scared to tell us the truth? Or is it that you are lying to yourself?” Desiree asked.
“ Yeah, cuz. You are acting really weird, but, to be honest, I have seen you in love and I can tell that you are on your way there. And fast,” Rochelle said. Cynthia smiled and shrugged.
“ I just don’t want to put a big wager on it,” she said.
“ What is this? A football game? Come on Cynthia. This is your life,” Rochelle said.
“ Yeah and Pete seems like a decent guy too,” Desiree said.
“ I guess Merseyside beats Uncle Sam any given day,” Cynthia said, with a satisfied smile.
“ And that is just another feather in his cap. I don’t know about you, but this guy is looking better to me every single day,” Rochelle said.
“ Yeah, I heard you saying that if you were not with Tony you would have been with Pete,” Cynthia said.
“ Have you heard his accent? That man can make any woman’s panties drop just by asking for directions,” Rochelle said.
“ Oh yeah. A few years ago, he would have asked me Hey chuck, can I take you back to my place and give you a spanking,” Desiree said in a fair approximation of Pete’s dreamy Liverpudlian tones. “Trust me, back then, that line out of Pete and voila, Bob’s your uncle,” she added smiling.
“ So you guys really think I should give this a chance?” Cynthia asked.
“ Well, honey, it is your life,” Rochelle said.
“ Rochelle’s right. But you have been taken a really long time taking care of us, and now it is about time someone took care of you,” Desiree said.
“ Maybe I am just scared to give in to my emotions and be drawn into the cycle of disappointment again,” Cynthia said.
“ Yes, but you can’t keep your life on hold because you are scared. That is no way to live,” Rochelle said sternly.
“ True ’dat. Look at me, if I had my past to go by I would most definitely have been alone because I would be scared of getting hurt again and Rochelle here has had the longest string of casual relationships I know,” Desiree said.
“ Hey ,” Rochelle said trying to defend herself.
“ And now she is finally settled down with Tony. And who knows, he might actually make an honest woman out of her,” Desiree went on, ignoring her sister’s attempts at protestation. Cynthia smiled and shrugged.
“ You were a bit wild Rochelle. You have really turned over a leaf with Tony,” Cynthia said. “You were a serial dater at some point. And we all know that it was because of your experience with Mike,” she added. Rochelle rolled her eyes.
“ Yes I know and please let bygones be bygones. Mike was an damn two-bit drunken asshole who almost ruined me, but now I guess everything is different,” she said smiling.
“ Mh hm, said the girl in love,” Desiree said. Rochelle giggled just as Cynthia’s phone began ringing. She looked at the phone and then looked up at her cousins. “It’s him, isn’t it?” Desiree asked. Cynthia nodded and walked out of the kitchen to go answer the phone in private. “So, what are your plans for tonight?” Desiree asked as she rubbed her neck.
“ Well, nothing major. Just hooking up with Tony later go to his place to have pizza and a movie. You know, good old fashioned romance,” Rochelle said. “Why? Did you have something in mind?” she asked.
“ No, I just really feel bad that I haven’t got to spend enough time with you guys this week,” she said.
“ What do you mean?” Cynthia asked trying hard to avoid eye contact by looking down on the already empty plate.
“ Oh come on, cuz. We all noticed you and Pete whispering sweet nothings to you in that strange accent of his during my birthday dinner,” Rochelle said.
