Terry Terry

Chapter 34"A Wonderful Sunday"

Terry was on his bed thinking about Candy, about the party, about the horse ride. He was so caught up in everything, with the play , that he barely realised that his mother didn't show. Georgina had sent him an email to apologise, for not being able to make it. Terry told her he was going to send the DVD of the play to her. Billie sent him a message, telling him she had caught a very bad case of the flu. Well despite all that, he had a wonderful day, with Candy and his friends. Even the drama with the Reagans spiced things up that day. The May Festival was a success. The sun was already up, Terry took a shower and took his phone to call Candy. She picked up.

- Hey beautiful, said Terry smiling

- Hey handsome , she said

- Did you have a good night?

- Yes, what about you?

- I slept like a baby...

- I'm glad...

- By the way something you said puzzled me a little

- Yes?

- About Prince William...

- And having him in my bed if I wanted to...? You should know by now that I tend to exaggerate things...

- When a girl who dates princes tells you she can have Prince William in her bed, that kind of sound very true...

- Don't believe what you read or hear...

- That's why I'm asking you...Prince Andrea?

- I dated him...

- His step bro, I saw him on the boat with you...

- When you and I hit it off? Thanks for defending me, by the way...

- You're welcome...

- Ernest, yeah you saw us...

- That's almost incestuous...

- Almost...

- Prince Harry? According to the papers you were out together...

- There was the premiere of the new Bond movie, his date got sick and couldn't make it. They asked me to step in for one evening...

- Did you kiss him?

- What's with the third degree?

- That would be a "yes"...

- Just a kiss goodnight after a nice date...

- From Prince Harry!

- He's just flesh and blood like you and I ...

- One of the heirs to the throne of England...

- Is that what's bothering you?

- You could be the future queen of England if you marry him

- Marry Prince Harry? Terry, I don't want to marry Harry, I'm not even on his list of possible mates...

- Really?

- Well maybe dead last...

- Dead last? So you are on the list?

- I'm on the list of possible heirs to the throne too if you want to know...

- Oh my God! Said Terry, you're not kidding?

- I want you to know everything about me Terry...

- So, I'm dating a possible Queen of England either by marriage, or...

- Terry, the odds of that happening are from slim to none...now enough about me... what about you?

- My life is boring comparing to yours...

- Let me be the judge of that...

- I was abandoned on the doorstep of an orphanage The Pony Home, with Jones... we grew up together as twins. He got adopted... a few years later I was taken in by the Reagans... The family from hell, but I met their cousins, Allyson, Ashley and Antonia...

- Did you start dating right away?

- No, I had a girlfriend at the time... Nina

- Oh... did you dump her to be with ...

- No, her father got sent to Australia...

- Out of the blue?

- Out of the blue

- That smells the riches paws all over

- I think the Andrews sent Nina's family away so I could become available for Antonia

- That doesn't bother you?

- What do you want me to do about it? It was a wonderful opportunity for Nina's father...

- They made him an offer he couldn't refuse... clever. But you were relieved, admit it!

- I was sad to see Nina go...some situations take care of themselves

- But you got help... anyway...

- I got arrested for grand theft auto, before Nina left...

- Grand theft auto?

- I'm a criminal, can you believe it?

- You were innocent...

- I was... Neil stole the car bought by his father for me...

- His father bought you a car?

- Because I used my save up money to pay for an operation my little brother of the orphanage needed...

- Oh Terry, said Candy moved, that was nice of Mr. Reagan

- He was out of town when the car arrived... Neil took it for a joy ride thinking it was his mother's car... I don't know what happened the next thing I knew I was arrested...

- What happened?

- I was out on bail, Georgina took my case, all the workers at the Reagan were ready to chip in to pay my bail

- Really?

He told her what happened the first day with Neil and Nick the driver.

- And you said your life was boring? Are freaking kidding me?!

- I never thought of my life as exciting...

He told her what happened at the trial, after the trial, how Antonia died and about Brittany.

- So you've had sex before?

- Yes

- What does your nun mummy thinks about that?

- What mummy doesn't know... she tells me to say pure...

- Looks like you're finally listening to her...

- Are we back to the sex thing again?

- I'm just saying...

- Candice Grandchester, I desire you like I've never desired a girl before...

- Why are you telling me this over the phone?

- I just don't want to rush into anything

- Rush?

- Wise men said...

- Only fools rush in...?

- And I'm no fool, baby...

- No you're not...

- Candy...

- I'm not complaining, I'm glad, but I wanted to know why? You seem to like girls

- I seem? He said with a mocking tone

- You know what I mean...

Terry for some reason was pushing away his desire to make love to Candy. He wanted them to stay the way they were. He had those strong and sincere feelings for her, but he didn't want to take their relationship to the next level.

- Candy, be sure of one thing, I want to be with you, but all in due time...

- Fine, said Candy, I'm not begging for it, I just wanted to know where you stand, that's all

- Be reassured, I'm not going to jump all over you...

- Is that supposed to make me feel better?

- Yes...

Candy burst out laughing.

- I'm glad you find it amusing, said Terry, I'm going to let you get ready for the day

- It's Sunday, I have to go home for some Sunday family reunion

- Oh...

- It's very boring...

- You want me to come?

- I don't want my father to know about you yet...

- Why?

- He's going to eat you alive...

- I'm a tough nut to crack...

Candy wanted to take Terry with her, but since they had just started and she wasn't sure about his feelings for her, she didn't want him expose to her father's scrutiny so soon into their relationship.

- Maybe next time, she said.

- All right...

- You're not going to be bored on your own?

- Don't worry about me, go to your boring family reunion...

- I'll come and kiss you goodbye before I leave

- You're coming back tonight?

- Maybe tomorrow morning, I don't know yet, but I'm going to call you

- All right.
