ODDS OF LOVE : SEASON ELEVEN

Episode 69

" Dorothy! ," Glory scolded her daughter as Alfred just rolled his eyes at the sister he was used to. " Your brother looks fine. And don't be rude to Gerald. He's a family friend. He also works at the school with Alfred. He's the headmaster there. '

" Fancy word for principal," Dodie said with a smirk as she stomped in her high heeled sandals over to him and Gerald. She poked at Gerald's arm rudely, saying,' Get up for a lady, tubs. I want to talk to my brother. "

Gerald was going to gracefully move from the chair by Alfred and make room for his sister but Alfred held tightly to his hand, saying," Find another seat, sissy. I want to sit with Gerald. "

Dodie opened her mouth to respond but was stopped by Andrew wearily saying," Dodie , I don't think you have met my son in law Nigel Norland. Richard's husband. And this is my son Spencer. "

Dodie sniffed as she looked from Nigel with his sequined rainbow eye patch and scars to Spencer in his wheelchair. " I know a great plastic surgeon for those scars ," she said to Nigel. " He is in New York but worth every penny. After my last baby I had a tummy tuck from him and you would never know I had six children. Bet he could fix that face of yours , Nigel, is it ? Goofy name. "

Nigel smiled coolly. " Well , we can't all be named Dodie , can we now? "

Glory sighed. " Dorothy, come sit with me. And please behave yourself. "

Dodie rolled her eyes and went to sit by her mother. " Mr. Snooty English Accent, my name is really Dorothy but Alfred there couldn't pronounce it when I was a baby and it came out Dodie. So it became my nickname. "

Nigel swallowed hard. " Sorry. Didn't mean to be rude. Didn't get much sleep last night really. Nice to meet you, Dodie. "

Dodie waved her manicured beringed hand about in the air casually. " I can relate. Next time, Momma , give us some warning, ok. I had to get up with the birds. But I made it here. Have to protect my mother from unrelated people who want to get their hands on Daddy's money. "

Glory ran her hands down her face. " Dorothy......"

Dodie rolled her eyes. " Oh , Momma , I'm not talking about Drew there. He's family. Relatively. But his children..... You haven't added any of them to the will , have you? "

Andrew stood up suddenly. " I'm going out for air. "

Then he left the room abruptly.

Alfred shook his head and whispered to Gerald," I'm sorry. "

Gerald smiled and murmured ," You have nothing to apologize for. We can't pick our relations. After all I am cursed with David. "

Then he pressed a tender kiss to Alfred's cheek which had him smiling widely at Gerald. And it had Dodie staring at Gerald with much suspicion.
