Part Seven

Sang's POV

I was sitting crossed legged on my bed when I heard footsteps on the stairs. I listened carefully and smiled; it wasn't Marie, it was the boys.

My door opened and Luke stuck his head around the edge.

"Hey," I grinned at him. He came in with Victor behind him.

"We are you guard tonight, m'lady," Luke chuckled. They stepped forward and executed perfect formal bows.

I giggled as they grinned up at me.

"And we bring chocolate," Luke said with a flourish, producing a big bar from behind his back. I clapped my hands.

"How did you manage to get that past, North?" I asked as Victor shut the door and flipped the lock.

"He bought it for us."

I stared at Luke, confused. North was always bugging about healthy eating and I knew he gave Luke a hard time over it too.

"You're serious?" I asked aware of the shock on my face.

"Princess," Victor came towards me and sat on the bed. Luke cleared his throat and I saw Victor glare up at him. Luke sighed and came and sat on my other side. I could see something was unspoken between them and it made me frown.

"The Doc told us," Victor said quietly and I blanched. They knew! They'd been told what I had thought this morning. Shame burnt bright through me; I felt betrayed as well. Neither Mr Blackbourne nor Dr Green has said that they would keep it quiet; I hadn't really thought about it at all. But thinking about it now, that was unrealistic; I knew there was very little they hid from each other, in fact I don't think there was anything. It stood to reason that they would also share this. I couldn't blame Mr Blackbourne or Dr Green.

Tears burned in my eyes. I felt stupid, I had been stupid and now they all knew.

"Hey, it's ok," Luke was leaning forward to look into my face, his long blonde hair falling forward, he slid his arm around my shoulder and Victor slid his hand around my waist.

"Do they all know?" I whispered, feeling so miserable now.

"Yeah," Luke shrugged and I saw the blush across his cheek. "It's perfectly fine. Let's just eat some chocolate, chat and forget it, ok?"

I nodded, swiping at my eyes quickly to get rid of the tears.

"We're going to look after you, Princess," Victor murmured and I felt warm again inside.

Later....

"... and Gabe's face was priceless," Luke snorted and shoved a square of chocolate into his mouth and nodded to Victor to carry on.

"He was sat there; squeezed between the end of the seat and this guy sat beside him. He had his hand on Gabe's lower back and he was leaning so close I was expecting him to kiss him and he said....." Victor doubled over and started to laugh.

"What? What did he say? Tell me!" I had to know, I was giggling but at the same time I felt so sorry for Gabriel, being hit on by a guy in a gay bar.

"He said to Gabe that if wanted to go home with him he'd make sure he didn't regret it. I swear I have never seen Gabe sweat so much."

"Poor Meanie, what did he do?" I giggled.

"He was begging Mr B to get him out of there under his breath, but we couldn't break cover and the guy we were waiting for hadn't come in," Victor laughed rubbing at his eyes.
