Andrea
Tonight, I have a dinner planned. My family will finally meet Tristan. I already told them I have a boyfriend. They agreed to meet him.

Andrea : Mom, dad...

Andrea
I walked in holding Tristan's hand. I'm not going to lie I do feel a bit nervous.

Andrea : This is Tristan Mendel. He is my boyfriend. Tristan, meet my parents.
Tristan : Nice to meet you both.
Mrs Cowell : Welcome in.
Andrea : And this is Nicolas. My little brother.
Tristan : Hello there. I got you a little something.
Nicolas : -gasp-
Mr Cowell : You didn't have to.

Andrea
With excitement, Nicolas opened his gift.

Nicolas : Wow! It's a toy train!! Thank you!
Tristan : You're very welcome.
Mrs Cowell : Let's all sit. Dinner is ready.

Andrea
We all sat down while me served us some chicken with coleslaw and mashed potatoes.

Mr Cowell : What are your intentions with my daughter?
Tristan : I love your daughter. Our relationship is serious.
Andrea : He makes me very happy.
Mr Cowell : How long have you been together?
Tristan : Almost a year.
Andrea : We finally decided to tell you.
Tristan : I want to propose to her soon. We both want to get married and start a family.
Mr Cowell : Oh I see you're very serious.
Andrea : We are!
Mr Cowell : As long as you treat her right, I don't see the problem.
Tristan : Thank you.

Gage : Gabriela....
Gabriela : Oh my god. What do you want Gage?
Gage : I just want you back....
Gabriela : Oh that's too bad. I've moved on.
Gage : Let's be real. You want the money. That's why you were with me am I right? You never loved me.
Gabriela : And what could I possibly like about you other than the money? You're a mommy's boy. Quite immature! Not my type.
Gage : Why don't we do this. I'll give you a check for exchange of some juicy sex.
Gabriela : -slap- Who the fuck do you think I am?!
Gage : A gold digger! That's what you are!!
Gabriela : Respect me!! You don't want to mess with me. Trust me!!
Gage : What are you going to do?
Gabriela : Oh you just watch.
Gage : Think about my offer. -walks away-
Gabriela : Asshole...
Ron : Hello there beautiful Gabriela.
Gabriela : Oh hi Ron. Back in town?
Ron : Yup, looking for clients.
Gabriela : You see that guy smoking over there?
Ron : Yup
Gabriela : He's a rich boy. I'm sure he'll be interested in your business.
Ron : Let's see.

Gabriela
Ron sells drugs on the streets. He grew up in this same neighborhood. I know him for childhood.

Andrea
Dinner with my family and Tristan was great. They were all getting along well. He stayed here for over an hour. He left at around nine since he has a busy day tomorrow.

Mariah : What are you doing here?
Tristan : Now that Adelaide isn't here. I want to talk to you.
Mariah : No Tristan.
Tristan : Let me explain. Trust me, it's not what it looks like.
Mariah : -sigh-
Tristan : That woman in the picture, her little brother has Leukemia.
Marian : Don't play with things like that.
Tristan : I'm not! I saw her crying at a coffee shop so I went up to her. She explained the situation. She asked me for help. Economical help to be exact. Of course I couldn't say no. Her little brother is only seven. I've been giving her support throughout the past few months. That day the picture was taken, she confessed her love for me. She kissed me but I pushed her away instantly. Of course the camera caught the exact moment she kissed me.
Mariah : .....
Tristan : Love, I would never cheat on you. Why would I throw away twenty beautiful years of marriage? You are the best thing to happen to me. I love you so much.

Mariah
I don't think Tristan would make up such a story....

Mariah : I'm sorry....
Tristan : Do you still love me?
Mariah : Of course I love you. You're my husband and the father of my daughter. You're everything to me...
Tristan : -kiss- Give us another chance?
Mariah : Of course my love.

Andrea : Great! They approve of our relationship.
Gabriela : Nice! But they don't know he's married right?

Andrea : I'm so happy Gab. I feel like everything is so close! I'm really excited.
Gabriela : I'm excited for you!
Andrea : What about you? How are things with your boyfriend and when can I meet him?
Gabriela : You'll meet him soon. He is one of the best lawyers in the country.
Andrea : Is he your boss?
Gabriela : Mhm
Andrea : That's allowed?
Gabriela : Yes
