Spoiled little Rich Boy

[Syrrus]

Edward shook his head. He didn't wish a lady to pay for him, it was simple as that. He had money, at least enough to pay for some cafe food. It would only have been rude of him not too. "As I said, don't worry about it." The waitress walked over with their drinks and food, placing them carefully down upon the table. Edward placed a napkin in his lap and began to stir his soup.

Risa smiled as she also puts a napkin on her lap and took a sip from her milk tea. After that, she took a bite of her sandwich. She loved the sandwiches in this cafe. "Oh yeah, how is your wife doing?" she asked him, somehow wanted to know what Leyla has been up to since yesterday.

 

[Syrrus]

"Not as well as I would have hoped." Edward said between mouthfuls. He took a long drink of coffee as he leaned back in his seat. It was difficult to talk about Leyla, sometimes he wondered if he perhaps had married the girl too early, she was a lovely woman and he valued her above all else, but she seemed to have difficulty understanding what loyalty meant. She kept wanting happiness, which of course was a noble goal and the reason why she had married him in the first place but he wasn't so certain if the happiness was lasting thanks to the violent man with the violin.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

"Hm?" Risa noticed him having a disappointing look on his face. She wondered if things weren't going well with him and Leyla. She stared at the troubled man in front of her. "Is there something wrong going on? If there is, you can tell me, maybe there is something I can help you with?" she asked, taking another sip of her milk tea.

 

[Syrrus]

"You're on good terms with the boy with the violin, right?" He looked at her from across the table, holding the coffee cup steadily in his hand. He peered at the hot liquid an blew steam away from the surface before taking another sip. He placed the cup down and with two fingers loosened the tie around his neck.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

"The boy with the violin? Syrrus?" she asked, not sure what happened between him and Leyla but she sure won't be happy if it was gonna be bad news to her. "What about Syrrus?" she looked at the man and then finished eating her sandwich. "Did Syrrus do something wrong again? If he did, I apologize for his behavior." she added, worried.

 

[Syrrus]

"No, not at all." The man shook his head. Syrrus was in fact strangely innocent in the matter but that didn't mean that Edward trusted him. He would never trust a man like Syrrus, especially not with his own woman. "I just want you to keep him away from Leyla. He's a bad man, if you excuse me saying and I fear she's being led astray by his charm." Edward sighed heavily. "I'm not saying that Syrrus is a bad person by any means, I don't know the man so I am not once to judge. But he is bad for my wife."

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Risa looked down, she was hurt when she thought about Syrrus and Leyla being close to each other. But then she thought that maybe Leyla was just seeing Syrrus as a friend only. "Edward... I understand where you are going at, but then... I was thinking that maybe Leyla just missed an old friend of hers..." she said.

 

[Syrrus]

Edward shook his head. "No, I know that woman like the back of my hand. She's not the type of person to travel miles to have a friend." He continued to eat his soup and said no more for what felt like a eternity. He didn't wish that DeLaine bloke to stay close to his wife because he was poison and his wife were too weak for it. When he was done eating he went back to his coffee, sipping it slowly as he watched Risa. "Even if they're only friends, which I am certain they are..." Not really certain, it was more a hope. "I still don't want him near her. If one man can ruin something you've had for eternity would you really allow that man to be near?"

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Risa looked down and looked at her tea. She shakes her head "No..." she answered him "I guess you do have a point..." she added and then looked at him. But then she remembered Leyla giving a gift, a violin, to Syrrus last night. She started to imagine that Syrrus might start to like Leyla back. Just by thinking about the possibilities of this happening, she started to shed a tear unconsciously.

 

[Syrrus]

Edward blinked as he thought he noticed something in the corner of her eyes. Was she alright? He doubted it, being together with such a bad man as Syrrus. Sighing he quickly caught the attention of the waitress and ordered a slice of chocolate cake for Risa, he was used to spoil women, especially if they were sad. "Cheer up, pumpkin. You're a charming enough girl, I'm sure you have nothing to worry about." He said, trying to sound as supporting as he possibly could. Watching as the waitress placed a big slice of cake in front of Risa, handing her come coins as she walked off.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Risa noticed a big slice of chocolate cake was placed in front of her on the table. She stared at it for a moment then at Edward. She stopped crying when he tried to comfort her. She wipes her tears and smiled, just like a little kid would do if one received a cake from a gentleman. "T-thank you for this cake..." she thanked him and started to eat it. She loved sweets so this was perfect for her. She puts her hand on her cheek with blushign cheeks as she said "Delicious~" she said like she was in heaven and continued eating it.

 

[Syrrus]

"You're welcome" Edward said, focusing all his attention on his coffee, watching the steam rise before closing his eyes and drinking it slowly. It was easy enough to comfort women, he thought. Spoil them a little and they'll feel all better in no time. It was his only way of doing things, in fact. He had probably spoiled Leyla to the moon and back by now, which was why he'd hate to see her with a prick like DeLaine. Sighing he placed the cup down as he finished his drink, smiling slightly at Risa. How old could she be? Fifteen?

 

[LullDayBreak13]

After eating at the cafe, they were both walking to the park. "Thanks again for the treat Edward." he told him and smiled. "Eating a big slice of cake really cheered me up." she added with a giggled. While they were walking, Risa suddenly hears a familiar voice, just ahead. 'Hm? Is that... Leyla?' she wondered and followed the giggling and ends up stopping near the bridge.

 

[Syrrus]

Edward followed her silently, hands on his back and eyes on the horizon. He heard the familiar giggle and peered down at the river. Leyla was indeed there, playing with someone the local children who was throwing rocks against the water surface. He smiled slightly and placed two fingers in how mouth, whistling to get her attention.


The young lady looked up, blinking in confusion before smiling happily up at her husband as she waved.

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Risa flinched when Edward just whistled and then she watched Leyla notice them. She waved at her and made an awkward smile. She couldn't have been doing anything with Syrrus, right? It still troubled her about the whole gift thing with Syrrus and she kept quiet about it.

 

[Syrrus]

Leyla walked up the path and placed her arms around his husbands neck, hugging him tight. She was shivering, clearly a lot colder than she would have liked. Edward removed his jacket and pulled it around her shoulders. "You need to dress warmer Leyla, the winder get quite cold over here." The girl laughed at her husband, waving a hand dismissively. She clearly didn't care about any cold. Looking over at Risa she smiled. "Afternoon, I see you've met my husband."

 

[LullDayBreak13]

Risa awkwardly smiled at her and nodded "Yeah... Edward is a nice guy..." she answered and couldn't look at her in the eye. She was thinking that this woman in front of her, the woman who gave a very special gift to Syrrus, her boyfriend. She made a quick eye contact with Edward and then looks away. "Uhm... I'm sorry guys, but I think I have to go, I still have something to do anyways." she said, showing them her shopping bag. She was about to do her gift for Syrrus this time.
