Wade & Ren

 

Wade knows he feels it in his step. It's like a new era has begun. Yes, he said what he meant. And he's not a liar. Of course, he's felt like shit ever since his moment with Auntie M. Truth be told he's frighten of her, but he can't let Ren alone. Yet, possibly in the end Ren will take care of everything. 

He knows Ren's faults. Or at least he thinks he does. But fifteen minutes ago, he thought he might get through the day until that guy in the nice suit showed up to see Ren.

"Oh, Jared, what a surprise," she says with a smile that could go miles. 

It's an ugly feeling that fills Wade with anger. How is this possible? 

Naturally, she's full of sweet nothings and Jared smiles as if they have known each other since the beginning of time.

"I thought you went to New York City," she says.

"I did." His tone doesn't seem natural to Wade yet Jared is such a success. It is all so foreign to Wade. It's as if Wade feels to be a heathen of sorts. Yet, it feels as if the tables are turned.

"Why didn't you go off to the city with him?" Wade blurts with a frown.

Then she has to introduce him as her brother. Wade the brother. Not a significant other. It's a low blow. 

"Roni said you worked here," Jared's grin is open and it irritates Wade all the more. 

"Oh, is Roni your girl?" Wade just keeps going with so many hopes.

"Of course, he is," Ren laughs uncontrollably. "She's our girl!"

Wade can hardly stand it, but he gets back to his post and he can see people needing a coffee and of course, Miss Lily is off flirting with someone. Wade gives off a slight cough of  GET BACK TO WORK.

"Can we have dinner sometime?" Jarad ask.

"Oh, I bet you're busy," Ren winces as if it isn't necessary.

It makes Wade elated yet sad. Why is she like this? What the hell happened? Wade asks himself. He doesn't want to know, but he has to. He vows if he knows the truth it won't change any of his feelings that might as well be a slime ball in his heart for Ren.
