His pov
But the grim looking Simon still escorted them at the nearby cafe and even the one who ordered something for everyone. First, to ensure that it doesn't look like a date to other people since there's a third wheel in the table. Second, to ensure that the girl will not order something that Mr. Over reacting Carl Thomas does not approve of. He even heard Simon asking about the content of a sandwich when he passby to accompany Jb to a corner seat
"It's wrong decision to listen to your date advices," he joked while they're waiting for Simon who actually went outside for a call. Or a report to his investigative journalist of a fiancee
Jb lifted one finger, "A wrong decision is better than indecision by Sopranos. And look, your picture went fudging viral. I told you, you need to date Patty. Lots and lots of dates"
"You're not building something for us, huh?" Gab said slitting his eyes on her
Jb laughed and tapped his face gently, "Baby Gab, you need to do something for yourself from hereon. Campaign will officially kicking this January. You need to be relevant every month"
He chuckled, "You're starting to sound like Neil, my campaign manager."
She bumped his shoulder with her's, moving her eyebrows up and down twice, "I'm your campaign manager too"
"No, you're campaign mama. Now I need to call you mama J," he said laughing
She folded her hand on the table and bowed, "By the way dad is giving you what you wanted. Your campaign funds"
He begun to smile on that good news but a sudden change of her mood stopped him, "I thought that's a good news. Why am I feeling this vibe that you're not happy?"
Jb shrugged, "Well, I'm going to be alone now since no one pesters me on my home Tuesdays and Thursdays"
"So, you mean to say you're going to miss me?" he joked that yet he stopped that teasing when he heard her sobbed. "What's the problem?" He tried lifting her head yet she hid it with her hands
"I think Carl doesn't love me anymore! I will be alone from now on"
"No, he's as a matter of fact see to it that Simon's always with you"
She sobbed in her downcasted position. "No, he doesn't want to talk to me. He's always busy everytime I called, he chose to train there and not to be with me here. Simon is here because I'm a sister and alone and pregnant and he's afraid of the patriarch," she looked at him in a teary eyed finally. "Is it because I'm fat now? That's why he doesn't thought about my needs?"
"No, I think you're still cute," he replied that while wincing and hugged the girl while awkwardly soothing her back. He doesn't know what to do in that kind of situation.
Jb swatted him yet he still forced to hug her while craning his neck to see where Simon went. "I'm fat, I'm ugly now that's why Carl doesn't want me anymore," Jb sobbed between his arms. "He seems busy there with some Swedish model"
"Jesus, J, there's few countries between Belgium and Sweden "
"I don't care! You're all like that. Only thought of us when you need something. Now he's comfortable with me alone here because he impregnated me!"
He made a soothing sound instead to calm her yet not succesful. Women, no matter how good looking they were, seems got a tendency to feel awful too. They can easily forget their sense of being and forget whatever beauty they possess. They felt used or betrayed whenever guys forgot them. Wether it's unconsciously or not.
"Don't worry I'll visit you," he promised as he put his chin on her hair and her left arms leaned on him more. "If he doesn't want you anymore, I'll take care of you and your child"
