I'll Make You See It Was All Real-Sequel to When Does the Pretend End?

Chapter 61- I Will Take To Him-Just Not Right Now

  Lucy's Pov

"I knew you would be the first one down when you smelt the food" Nuno jokes as I place my bag and the framed jersey on the couch. "What are you making?" I ask him. "Whatever your heart desires" he jokes. "Mmm" I say tapping my finger against my lip. "How about a Clooney Gosling sandwich" I joke. "Clooney really?" he asks. "What? I'll always have a soft spot for Dr. Doug Ross. Plus he gets better with age" I wink.

"Who get's better with age?" I hear Cris ask as I take a seat on a stool. "George Clooney apparently" Nuno says. "Hey you said I could have whatever my heart desired. If I can't have a Clooney/Gosling sandwich I guess scrambled eggs would do" I smile. "That I can do" he says as he busies himself with a pan. "You were quick coming down" I say to Cris as he takes a seat next to me. "Didn't want you eating all my breakfast" he smirks and I gave him a small push. "Are you sure you are up to going to work today?" he asks. "Yes" I say and he raises an eyebrow. "I feel great" I smile. "You look it" Nuno says and Cris glares at him. "Thank you Nuno. Stop glaring at you cousin" I whisper to Cris. "I wasn't" he mumbles.

"Mana" Elma yawns coming into the kitchen. "Good morning" I smile. "Maé not up yet?" Cris asks. "She was on the phone when I checked" Elma says. "Is she ok?" he asks and I feel for him. He's worrying over his mother and then I cause even more worry for him. "She's getting there" Elma says. "Has she asked Andrade to come visit yet?" I ask. "I'm not sure she'll ask him just yet" Elma says. "Why not?" Cris asks. "She's probably wants to make sure that you don't change your mind about him staying here" I say. "Exactly" Elma says. "Well I won't" he says. "I don't think any of us was expecting you to suggest he stay" I say. "Ya you certainly know how to surprise people little brother" Elma smiles and I nod in agreement. That he certainly does I think. "Well it doesn't mean I'm going to be best friends with the guy" Cris says.

"Speaking of friends. I hear Josh decided to stop being a dickhead" Nuno says and I laugh at his bluntness. "Nuno" Cris hisses. "Yes he did Nuno" I say. "Don't know how you can forgive him so easily" Nuno shrugs. I get where he is coming from. Josh has hurt me. But he's Tina's brother and my friend. And I need my friends around me. "Sometimes forgiving the people you love is the best thing" Elma says looking at me. "How are my eggs coming Master Chef?" I ask Nuno. "Coming up" he says. "You know Maé has more treatment tomorrow" Elma says. "Ya I know" Cris says sadly. "You know what be nice?" she asks. "Would it involve having Andrade fly over by any chance" he says and I pause with the fork in the air as he smiles at me. "That could be a nice thing" I smile. 

"You eat" he says. "And you stop worrying. About Dolores. About me. I promise I won't do anything stupid like Thursday night again" I whisper. "You had your reason to act stupid just phone me instead. Night or day. Ok? I'm not going anywhere Luce" he says placing a kiss on my forehead. "Well I haven't managed to shake you off in the past few months so" I smile. "Well aren't you lucky that you'll have me around for at least another eighteen years then" he grins and I frown. "Jezz sorry that sounds so bad" he says. "What? No the baby just gave me a hard kick" I say placing his hand on my bump. "Probably wants the two of you to shut up and eat breakfast" Nuno says and we both turn to find Nuno, Elma and Dolores watching us. "Dolores you up" I say. "Yes I am. You and my son must have being too busy talking to notice" she smiles.

"Well this is a lovely sight to see" Elena says and I look up to find her at my office door. "Hey Elena" I smile. "Look at you two all friendly" she says as Josh moves to stand. "I was a big huge enormous ass and I know that" he says. "And it's in the past" I say. "Luce I don't except you to forgive so easily" he says. "Well I need to. I'm sick of fighting and dragging over the past. I just want to enjoy having my friends around me and concentrate on this pregnancy" I say. "Well I'm still sorry. Now I must get some work done if I'm skipping out early. Enjoy lunch" he says. "We will. I'm starving" I say. "I bet Cris is happy to hear you say that" Elena says. "I swear I'll kill him if he asks if I'm hungry or ok one more time today. See three texts and its only lunch time" I say holding up my phone.
