The truth.

Part 4.

Joan sighs anxiously before knocking a rhyme out on Fred's door. To her surprise, he quickly opens and let's her in with a delightful smile.

"Thought I wasn't going to see you for some time. Can't keep away can you?" Fred flirts. Joan gulps, giving her face of anxiety away.

"Oh no, what's wrong now?" Fred's smile fades. "What do you mean what's wrong?" "You always do that face when there's something important. What is it?" He questions worryingly but still gazing into her ocean eyes. "Well, you know. I'm worried! I don't think I can keep this secret any longer Fred!" Freddie walks over to his glasses of alcohol and pours some out for two glasses. "Joanie, Joanie it's just another little white lie." Fred tries to reassure, resting his hands on her shoulders to provide some comfort. "Oh Fred, I know but I can't keep lying to Del! He nearly kicked off when I told him about you and me!" She stresses. Fred frowns when he hears the likes of Reg's son come out of Joan's mouth. "What do you mean Del? Del will be fine! He's locked himself a business!" "I'm just worried, I'm his mother, I should be keeping a close eye on him." She confides in Freddie, leaping into his arms. "I can promise you Joanie, everything's going to be fine. Look, Please don't turn your back on me, I can't afford to loose you." Freddie begs, they both gaze into each other's eyes & Joan's worries eventually go down. "Do you really think that?" Freddie nods his head, and the pair lock lips.
