Chel and Em

"Red is fine with me." Daniella said and relaxed again. She glanced over the menu once more to check she was happy with her choice before looking at Zayne with a smile. "I'm ready to order if you are." She said sweetly and brushed a strand of hair out of her eyes.
Jamie bit his lip and looked at her when she asked about her family. He didn't want to upset her by talking about them. They obviously didn't take what had happened well and what they had gone through wasn't pretty but she would find out eventually. "They're doing okay now. It wasn't good right after you left though."

((By the way at work so I can't do long posts.))
Zayne looked back up at her when he chose a type of red to get, he nodded "yeah I'm ready." He said to her, smiling a little. He raised his hand a little for a waiter to come over and waited patiently.
Issy looked at him again, bitting her lower lip also, waiting to hear. "H-how bad?" She asked "Jamie I need to know.@ she assured him.

Daniella smiled and told the waiter her order when he came over. She looked to Zayne before she put her menu back. She knew that now she had nothing to put off talking about herself so she took a deep breath and prepared herself for that as Zayne ordered.
Jamie nodded and reached to hold her hands across the table. "I checked in as often as I could but you know your family. They didn't appreciate anyone poking about in their business, even me so I tried not to be around too much." He explained first. "Your parents argued a lot and split. I think they blamed each other. At first they hated each other but they're slowly falling in love again with a little help from those around. I think they're going to get back together."

Zayne gave his order to the waiter also and thanked him before he had gone df. He looked back at Daniella, smiling slightly at her
Issy looked down at the table as he told her what had happened, her parents had split, she never thought they would have. "So they didnt believe me."

Jamie rubbed his thumb over the back of her hand. "I think they did believe you Issy but it's difficult when everyone around you says different. When everyone and everything you've ever known, trusted and believed in says one thing but there's one person that says the other it's difficult." He admitted. "Fallen were always shown as villains, it's how we learn about them as kids, it's hard to change that mindset."

Issy sighed then looked at him. "D-do you think that?" She asked softy, hoping he didn't. What was she meant to do? "I miss them." She said to him.

Jamie raised his eyebrows. "Do I believe what?" He asked softly, still rubbing his thumb over the back of her hand as he tried to comfort her. "I know sweetheart. They miss you too." He told her honestly.

"Do you believe were villians?" She asked "that I am?" She added and sighed, nodding a little at his last comment.

Jamie hesitated. "I did at first." He told her honestly. "But I was so upset and I wasn't thinking clearly sweetheart." He justified his actions not wanting her to hate him for it. "I soon came to realise I was being an idiot however."

Issa looked down a little, she felt a little lost and ashamed, her own finance at the time believed she was a 'villain'. She looked back at him when he justified his answer and actions. "I didnt do it Jamie. You have to know that." She said

Jamie nodded. "I do know that." He promised her. "I was so upset over losing you that I needed someone to blame but I couldn't bring myself to challenge a system I'd trusted my entire life. So it fell to you. Once I'd calm down, which took forever, I realised I was being ridiculous. There was no way you would have ever have done that."

Issy nodded a little, she understood but it was still hard to hear, though she needed to hear it. "I thought you'd never want to see me ever again." She said to him honestly. "But i still couldnt move on from you, i had some sort of belief that you would know i hadn't don't it, but after so long i began to lose that hope." She told him.

"I'm sorry it took so long." Jamie apologised again. "It's easy to find normal people but I never realised how difficult it would be to try find either of you two." He admitted. "Once I realised you couldn't have done it, I started to look for you but since I had to do in secret it was difficult. I'm glad I finally found you again though."

She nodded with another sigh, looking at him. "I love you." She said and held his hand softly. "Lets talk about something else now." She said

Jamie smiled. "I love you too." He said softly and then nodded. "Okay. What would you like to talk about now?" He asked her softly as he gave her hand a gentle squeeze. He then realised they hadn't ordered their meal yet. "Actually, how about we look at the menus?" He suggested and smiled at her.

Issy looked at him again then her menus, she nodded. "Yeah, lets order." she said and smiled at him, reading her menu, trying to decide which to get.

Jamie looked over his menu as he tried to decide on something to eat. He still held her hand and was absently rubbing his thumb over the back of it as they sat there. "Do you want to get a bottle of wine between us?" He asked once he had decided what he was eating.

She looked up at him again and nodded a little and smiled. "Yes, please." She said, she finished deciding and placed her menu down. "ill get the chicken." She said as she then pointed to what she wanted.

Jamie nodded. "White or red?" He asked, knowing that she liked both. He waved a waiter over so that he could take their order. He glanced at the menu and then smiled over at Issy again.

She thought about it and smile. "White." She said "Please" She asked, letting him wave the waiter over, as she looked over and around she noticed Daniella, or at least she thought she did

Jamie smiled politely at the waiter as he came over. He ordered their wine and then his meal before looking at Issy to indicate that he was done talking so that she could order. He put his menu back and smiled happily.

Issy was a little distracted before he had tapped her hand, she looked at him. "sorry?" She asked then looked at the waiter. "oh ill get the..." She said and told him what she wanted.

Jamie chuckled softly at Issy's distraction. He thanked the waiter once she had ordered and then he looked at her curiously. "What's got your attention sweetheart?" He asked her and raised his eyebrows.

Issy looked at Jamie then glanced back over at the girl she thought was Daniella. "I th-think thats daniella... and the new guy." She said

Jamie nodded. "Do you want to go over and say hi?" He asked her softly. "I can wait here." He added, not wanting to ruin Daniella's night. He understood why Daniella had been so rude when he had been in her office. Unlike Issy she had been completely humiliated in front of everyone before she fell, so he knew the reminder of her old life must be painful.

Of course Issy has also been humiliated but not as much as Daniella had, so she too understood but knew that Daniella shouldn't have done what she did. She looked at Jamie once again, shaking her head. "No, i don't want to ruin her.. date or what ever they're on."

Jamie nodded. "Okay. If you're sure." He said softly and gave her a reassuring smile. He looked up as the waiter returned with their wine and smiled politely.

Issy nodded at him, smiling a little. "Im sure" She said, she looked at the waiter then at Jamie again. "So umm."

Jamie nodded and held onto her hand. He waited until the waiter had left before speaking again. "I'm going to be gone all day tomorrow and most likely all night too." He told her. He didn't want to leave her but he still had a job to do.

Issy looked at him when he began to speak again, she breathed in before nodding with a sigh. "ok." She said softly, she knew he was there to do his job and she couldnt keep him from that.

"I'll be back as soon as I can though." Jamie promised and gave her hand a squeeze. "Are you working tomorrow?" He asked softly. It was a Saturday tomorrow and he wasn't sure if she worked at the weekend or not.

Issy nodded again "I know you will." She said to him, she shook her head "no, we don't work weekends." She said, sighing a little "I might do something with Daniella."

Jamie nodded and smiled. "That'll be good." He said softly. "Do you two have any favourite places to go or anything that you do together?" He asked curiously. The two girls had always been closer than anyone he had ever known so he wouldn't be surprised if they both had the same sort of hobbies.

Issy shrugged and shook her head "not really, just go shopping or we hang out at each other place." She dsid softly

Jamie nodded. "It'll be fun regardless though." He said and smiled at her. He looked up when their food arrived and reluctantly let go of her hand so that they could eat.

Issy nodded "yeah, it is fun." She said then looked over wen they're food arrived, she smiled a little at him. "Looks good."

Jamie nodded and smiled at Issy after he had thanked the waiter. "It does." He agreed and ate a bit. He made a noise of pleasure as he smiled at her again. "It's really good. Do you want to try a bit?" He offered. They had lived together and shared everything at one time, sharing food was almost natural for him now.

Issy looked at him again, she nodded when he offered her some of his. She smiled and are a bit, making a soft pleasurable noise too when it tasted good

Jamie chuckled as she tried it. "See? I told you it was good." He said and then started to eat more of it. He was starving and it felt like forever since he had last ate even though it had only been a few hours earlier. "Is yours good too?" He asked after a few moments and smiled at her.

She looked at him again. "Yes, would you like a try?" She asked him and offered him some

Jamie tried a bit of her meal and then nodded. "Mmm." He smiled. "That tastes almost as good as my meal." He said playfully and winked at her. "This place has great food." He complimented. "Have you been here before?"

Issy watched and waited to see what he thought, she giggled with a little gasp as his response "how tragic." She said to him. "Umm yeah once or twice with some people from work." She said

Jamie chuckled and stopped eating to have a drink of his wine. He nodded in acknowledgement of what she said. "So have you tried that meal before?" He asked curiously before he went back to eating.

Issy shook her head softly, eating some more "not this before." She said

Jamie nodded and smiled at her. "That's cool." He said softly as he continued to eat.

Issy giggled and nodded, she smiled at him even when he had some food on his mouth. "Jamie." She said and pointed to it

Jamie looked up at Issy and frowned as she pointed at his mouth. What was she trying to tell him? He finished chewing a look of complete confusion on her face. "Uuuh..."

Issy giggled a little again as she looked at him. "You have something." She said and pointed again, letting him get it.

Jamie took another moment before realising what she was on about. "Oh." He blushed and wiped his mouth with the napkin before flashing her a smile. "Is that better?" He asked softly.
Zayne looked at her and shook his head "no of course. I was thinking a red.. Unless you'd like a white wine?" He said to her, not sure what she was wanting
Issy looked at him amazed, listening to all the gossip she had missed out on. "And.. How's my family?@ she asked reluctantly
