Dinner guests

David's POV

I stand frozen in shock for what seems like forever, Just staring at the beautiful young girl i've spent years searching for and now my prayers have finally been answered and she's standing right in front of me and I'm unsure what to say or do. My emotions are telling me to wrap my arms around her and tell her how much I love her and how I've been searching and praying for her all these years, but as much as I want to do that, she already looks terrified and unsure and I don't want to risk scaring her anymore than she probably is right now.

"We're looking for Carley Jones" Michael says interrupting my thoughts and I nod. "Y-yeah, s-she's in there. T-they w-we all are" I stutter trying to get my words out. "C-come in" I motion them and Michael turns to Leanne who's just silently staring at me nervously.

"Its' Leanne? Is that right?" I ask softly, and she nods nervously, still staying behind Michael. "Would you like to come inside?" I ask softly and she doesn't answer and looks at Michael. "It's ok. He's welcome too" I smile, moving aside and they both come in.

"What's taking you so long to answer a freaking door?" Carley says, coming out of the kitchen then stops in her tracks when she sees who's standing in our hallway.

"Leanne! Y-your here?" She gasps "I-im so sorry about what I said. I..."

"She knows" Michael cuts her off. "Randy told me he came over and what he said to you"

"I'm so sorry I lied to you" she croaks and moves closer to give her a hug, but Leanne nervously moves back behind Michael.

"We're just about to have dinner. Why don't you both join us?" I smile, trying to ease the tension. "If this is a bad time. We can go" Leanne mumbles, finally speaking.

"Of course it's not" I hear Kayde as he walks over to us. "My mom always cooks way too much. There's plenty to go round" he smiles and puts his hand out. "I'm Kayde"

"Leanne" she mumbles and nervously shakes his hand then he turns to Michael and introduces himself. "And I'm David" I smile, realising I hadn't introduced myself yet.

Leanne's POV

"Ok. Everybody sit down. Sofia... umm.. Leanne. Your seats right here next to Kayde and I'll just fix an extra plate for Michael" Carley smiles, motioning us all to sit at the table. "Did you tell her we were coming?" I whisper to Michael, confused.

"Nah.. She's always make a place for you at meal times and stuff" Kayde answers "why?" I frown confused. "Yeah, I always thought it was weird too" he shrugs "Kayde!" Carley frowns at him. "What? It's true" he shrugs "Me always keeping a place for your sister isn't weird. There's always been a place for you here" she smiles at me and I don't say anything, feeling really weird about her comment.

"Well on the bright side. We don't have to feed it to the cat this time" Kayde shrugs. "You have a cat?" I smile and he nods. "Yeah. She's upstairs at the moment though. She's just had kittens and she's kinda weird about leaving them"

"You can have one of you want? Their a little too young right now, but You can pick any you like" Carley cuts in. "Thanks, but we already have a cat" Michael smiles at her through pursed lips and she looks at him annoyed, but takes a smile at him.

"So.. I hear you two have a family" David cuts in"

"Mhm.. We have twins" I smile slightly. "That must be a handful" he chuckles slightly. "Sometimes. But we get alot of help from Janet"

"Is that your nanny?" He asks. "Kind of. She's my sister, but She takes care of the kids while we go to work" Michael replies. "What do you work as?" Kayde asks me. "Well Michael owns a hotel and helps out with his parents property building and I own a restaurant and help at the hotel sometimes too"
