Love Always Wins

Chapter Nineteen

Trisha and Chris were sitting in the coffee shop down the street from Brie's office.

"So Chris, one question I have to ask you first," Trisha said.

"Okay go for it," Chris said.

"What was your first thought when you saw me?" Trisha asked.

"That you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen," Chris said.

"More than Brie?" Trisha asked.

"Well she is beautiful but she found the love of her life in your brother, it's time for me to find mine," Chris said.

"Do you think it's me?" Trisha asked.

"Could be," Chris said.

"You don't want to win Brie back, do you?" Trisha asked.

"Even if I wanted to, I couldn't, I messed that up by leaving like I did, we weren't together long enough to develop deep feelings for each other, I see her as a friend more than anything else," Chris said.

"So if we decided to see where this goes, you wouldn't use me to win her back," Trisha said.

"No, Trisha, I would never use a woman like that," Chris said.

"So you truly want to see what happens," Trisha said.

"Yes I do, I want to have this chance with you, I want to see where things go," Chris said. Trisha smiled and they talked about anything.

Brie finished up and got her stuff and went out the door and went to Marco's office and knocked on the door. He looked up and smiled.

"Hey gorgeous," Marco said.

"Hey handsome," Brie said.

"Done for the day?" Marco asked.

"Yeah, I'm exhausted," Brie said.

"I should be done in a few minutes," Marco said.

"Okay babe," Brie said.

"How was your day?" Marco asked.

"It was fine, an ex showed up," Brie said.

"Another one?" Marco asked.

"Yeah he explained why he ran, Trevor was blackmailing him over something his father did and Chris wanted to protect his family so he gave in," Brie said.

"Oh so he wants you back?" Marco asked.

"No, he's actually out with your sister," Brie said.

"Not again," Marco said.

"I think this time it could work out," Brie said.

"You think?" Marco asked.

"I hope so," Brie said.

"And if it doesn't," Marco asked.

"Your sister can handle it and we will take care of it together because we are stronger than ever," Brie said. He got up and came over to her and took her in his arms and kissed her deeply.

"You bet we are, I'm never letting you go," Marco said. They sat down on the couch in his office and he rubbed her expanding stomach and kissed it and kissed her and buried his face in her neck.

"Marco," Brie said.

"Hmmm?" Marco asked.

"We have company," Brie said. He pulled back and saw his sister and a guy standing there.

"Chris?" Marco asked.

"Marco?" Chris asked.

"You guys know each other?" Brie asked.

"Yeah, we met two years ago when I was on a business trip in Miami," Marco said.

"I was there for business as well," Chris said.

"I guess you didn't know that Marco is my brother," Trisha said.

"Now it makes sense, he told me he had a sister named Trish," Chris said.

"That's me," Trisha said.

"He also talked about his feelings for her best friend," Chris said.

"That's me," Brie said.

"Wow, sorry man, I didn't know the connection between all of you," Chris said.

"Now you do, so you and my sister are what exactly?" Marco asked.

"We are seeing where this goes," Trisha said.

"He's not using you to get to my girl?" Marco asked.

"No I'm not, I would never do that to a woman, I know things are completely over between Brie and I and that there is no going back, I messed up by leaving and giving into the blackmail by her ex so I am completely moving on and I believe Trish can help me," Chris said.

"I hope so," Marco said. Trisha and Chris came and sat down and they all talked about things.
