Bryan walked towards Faith and Walter. He cleared his throat and made his presence known. Whatever he was saying to her he was sure he was up to no good. But the cruel man was going to jail soon enough. He would present the evidence to the president. He would rejoice that day. To see Walter behind bars.
"Bryan!!", Faith said as soon as she spotted him.
"You enjoying the night?", he asked not caring to acknowledge Walter.
"Uhm yeah...", she replied.
"Excuse me youngsters...I will just go back inside...please consider what i said ", Walter said and marched back inside. As soon as he was out of sight, Bryan asked Faith what he was meaning.
Faith contemplated on whether she should tell him. What the man told her was just absurd.
"What did he say to you Faith?", Bryan asked one more time.
"Bryan is that man really your father?"
"No...He's my foster father", Bryan replied.
"I think he's sick...he told me that my father caused my mother's death...is that even reasonable?", Faith told Bryan. Bryan felt his blood boiling with anger. How could he try to get between Faith and her father. How could he do that. He will kill him for manipulating the girl.
"Surely he really is sick...you of all the people should know that your father loved your mother", Of course Faith knew that. Even Amanda knows that Maxwell loved Emily. He just grew to love Amanda within the marriage. Sick man!!....Faith mentally said.
"Where are your parents Bryan?", Faith changed the subject.
"I don't know...I just grew up in an orphanage...then Walter adopted me when I was 12"
"Is he a good father?", she found herself asking. She could feel the tension between the two. Bryan did not reply. He remained silent. His face was also void. Faith then felt bad for asking that. Perhaps she shouldn't have asked.
"Bryan I'm sorry I shouldn't have asked", she said.
"No no its okay really....let me just tell you that he's not a good man...you shouldn't talk to him", Bryan said and Faith nodded her head.
"By the way you look stunning today Fifi", Bryan complimented her. Faith blushed. She didn't know what she was feeling but she felt odd when Bryan told her that. She felt something that she's never felt before. And she felt as if there were butterflies in her stomach. What was this feeling?...she had no idea what it was. It was a good feeling...and she loved every bit of it.
"Thanks friend", she finally said.
"Friend?"
"Yes"
"Are we friends?", Bryan asked.
"I thought we were", she said in disappointment.
"Of course Fifi we are friends...best of friends"
"Really?", she asked with a lit face.
"Yes dolly...", Faith giggled. Another nickname for her. She really liked Bryan.
She had a friend!
Mitchel watched as Faith and Bryan talk and laugh by the pool. Why did everyone seem to like her father's daughter. She wasn't going to sit by and watch some girl who comes into her life and claims to be her father's daughter take what belongs to her. She would see to it that she wins Bryan.
She walked towards Bryan and Faith.
"Hey...daddy said it's time to go...Laura has fallen asleep", she told the two and they turned their heads to see Mitchel. Bryan stood up and he helped Faith to her feet. Again Mitchel felt a wave of jelousy in her. Bryan just seemed like a perfect gentleman around Faith.
