Killer Past. Chapter 20, The Plan.
****
Lane had Bronte and Jeana drive him and Cassandra to the movie theater. Lane planned for them to watch Moon Fall. Cassandra wanted to watch Marry Me, but Lane rolls his eyes.
"Cassandra, the idea of the movie makes me extremely uncomfortable."
Cassandra scowls as Lane looks out the window, he rolls his eyes. Once the car is packed, Lane whispers to Bronte as he gets out of the car.
"Bronte, the two of you please sit close to us. I don't trust her." Bronte arches his brow,
"As you wish, sir. Appreciate you letting us protect during this date."
Lane walks up to Cassandra with a fake smile, Come on Lane! Try to do a good play until everything comes to the surface!
"Let's go and enjoy the movie." Cassandra took a hold of Lane's hand, as he quietly rolls his eyes.
"Would you like something to eat or drink?" Cassandra smiles,
"I'll have a soda and some m & m's." Lane ordered what she desires, plus he desires a drink. They were sitting towards the back, with Bronte and Jeana sitting two rows back staying alert.
During the movie, Lane focused on the movie. Cassandra continually caressed hi arm,
"What do you need Cassandra?" Cassandra smirks though in the dark it was difficult for Lane to see it,
"Your attention! You need to focus on us. Don't think of Grace. The Board supports not her."
Lane scowls watching the movie not answering, Cassandra slips her hand through Lane's, she squeezes his hand though he doesn't return the squeeze. Lane was feeling very nauseous at her touch,
During the last twenty minutes of the movie, Cassandra snuggled onto Lane's shoulder. This causes Lane to frown as his body tenses, After the movie, they walk out of the theatre. Cassandra takes a hold of Lane's hand with a beaming smile,
"Wow! You seem happy?" Cassandra chuckles,
"I love spending time with you. It made my day." They ride to the nearest café. After a few minutes, they sit down with their drinks,
"So Cassandra, why do you think the Board supports us?" Lane asks with a stoic expression,
"Because I'm deeply in love with Grace? Did anyone ever care what I want, feel or think? Cassandra, have you ever thought about that?"
Cassandra sits there quietly feeling awkwardly,
"I'm sure they understand you have loved her. But there's a lot of danger attached with Grace." Lane scowls at her,
"What Mafia Stevens Family does, Grace has nothing to do with it."
Cassandra grimaces towards Lane,
"They'll use Grace to get to you. Now I realize that the two of you will have to co-parent with the children, but having emotional distance from her could be safer for you, Lane. Plus I'll be able to love you deeply. Any loss regarding Grace, I'll be there for you." Lane nods frowning,
"No matter what happens....what I choose, Grace and the children will also be a big part of my life.
Cassandra, can you handle that?" Cassandra scowls as she took a drink of her coffee,
"I realize that. I guess I'll have to." Lane felt confused, then anger boils up from deep inside him,
"It's time to head towards the Manson." At that moment Cassandra's phone pings with a message, she opens the phone reading it smiling.
