"... can you come downstairs, someone is here to see you?.."

"Not Hadyn...

"No, not Hadyn." Tamia said.

Lucia pulled on her robe and walked downstairs. She walked into the lounge and stopped when she saw Draya sitting there and her uncle next to her. "What is this?."

"Draya has come to talk to you, I think you should hear her out... I'm just gonna be in the other room leave you to it.." Raphael said and walked out.

"what could you possibly have to talk to me about?" Lucia said.

"I'm trying to sort this out between you and Hadyn okay, I'm trying to help my friend

"I'm trying to sort this out between you and Hadyn okay, I'm trying to help my friend... I know you think that I'm the problem but I'm not... yes, we are friends and I am around him a lot... But what me and him had ended a couple of years ago... if he's serious about you which I truly think he is then I'm not gonna stand in his way I want to see him happy.." she said.

"What happened with you and his wife?.."

"Alicia couldn't accept me as his friend and granted at that time... We were messing with each other on the low... I wasn't proud of it, we got caught up and we decided immediately that we would never go there again. We have much more going for us as friends than we did as lovers... he argued with her over me, they got into a fight and she fell and hit her head, she was fine at that time. The cut had been patched up at the hospital... But it turns out that she caught sepsis a blood infection and there was nothing that anyone could do because it was picked up too late... I felt terrible, I blamed myself for what happened to her and I retreated to get away from him and my feelings about what part I played in it.."

"You knew he had a wife yet you still pursued him anyway whether you decided halfway through or not that you shouldn't be doing it, you still did it... and who's to say that you both don't just hop into bed with each other again now, you've got history for it and now you live under the same roof.." Lucia said.

She took a deep breath. "I will always love him... that's how I know that I would never fuck him again... I want him in my life forever, that's not gonna happen if we start messing around with each other... we made a decision a long time ago that we are better off as friends and that is exactly what we are, nothing more... And me staying at his place for two weeks was just because I was mentioned in this leaked story and my name is out there associated with him... I was worried that something might pop off from it.... I am in the public domain, people know who I am and I was just worried of...anything happening to me." she said the last part of that sentence a lot slower as she realised what she was saying because in fact nothing had happened to her instead it had happened to Lucia.
"I'm really sorry that you got caught up, but he can protect you and he will protect you... I was talking to him earlier and he was not himself, he was cut up and in his feelings about you.."

"I don't think there is going to be any more problems from Telford... So I think you're fine to move the fuck out of his house..." she said with nonchalance.
