Chapter 14
(Joshua and Georgina are taking a ride with Kim. They are taking the babies in the buggies.)
Kim: And Michelle?
Joshua: His husband didn't want to come with her and he didn't let her take her daughter for a ride alone either.
Georgina: Alone? But she was gonna be with us! I'm fed up with that bloke!
Kim: Me too. There will arrive a moment in which he won't let her go nowhere, not even to work. (They stop in a square and sit down in a bench. Joshua takes Philip out of the buggy, and the child plays with a branch that is in the floor.)
Joshua: Be careful not to harm yourself with that.
Kim: Did you speak to your brothers?
Georgina: Not yet, maybe today or tomorrow. We don't speak every day, but twice or three times per week. Liam sometimes speaks to my son too, well, "speaks". (She makes a gesture with the fingers forming quotation marks and giggles.) Philip doesn't speak much.
Kim: Noel calls me almost every day. (She giggles too.) And in every call he asks for Anaiss.
Georgina (smiling): Yes, he tends to tell us that.
Joshua: He misses her. He says he wants to come back now in order to be with you.
Kim: No. He has to finish this part of the tour first. (She plays with her daughter's belly, and the baby laughs.) We can wait for him. (Georgina notices that his son is walking away.)
Georgina: Philip, come back here! (She stands up, go directly in his direction and lifts him when she reaches him. She brings his son back where his husband and his sister-in-law are.
A few days later, Liam is in his suite. He picks up the phone and dials. The door is open, and Noel comes in.)
Noel: Liam. (His younger brother gets startled and hangs up the phone.)
Liam: You fucking scared me! Let me know if you gonna enter.
Noel: I wasn't that quite when I came in. Who were you calling?
Liam (lying): I wanted to speak with...with...Georgina.
Noel: Uh? We have spoke with her and Joshua half an hour ago.
Liam: I forgot to tell her one thing.
Noel: What thing? And why did you hung up so nervously? (He frowns at him.) Liam, you were calling Michelle, don't you?
Liam: Are you watching me? Ok, yes! I was gonna call her!
Noel: You know you can't do that!
Liam: I'm not gonna get her fucking pregnant for speaking to her by phone nor speaking is cheating on a person!
Noel: No, but it's very likely that her husband pick up the phone, and he knows you're still after her! What the fuck do you want?: that he answer you and be means to you?!
Liam: Like a care! Besides, we've been to her home too!
Noel: In group. But, of course, you had to go on your own too!
Liam: I also took my nephew to her!
Noel: And also pampering Janet, holding her in your arms and whispering her that she's your daughter! Have you gone fucking crazy?! And you were quite lucky all the times you visited her on your own, because her husband wasn't there! Because otherwise you got into a fistfight!
Liam: Michelle and her daughter are not gonna be happy with James; they should be with me.
Noel: It was Michelle who decided to ruin her life. If she wants to be with a bloke that doesn't let her hang out with anyone, it's her problem. You'll have to consider her a friend or forget about her. She's just decided with whom to have a family; she won't choose.
Liam: You're always against me. First you say or act as if you love me, and then you turn against me.
Noel: It's because I love you that I'm telling you all this! I don't like seeing you suffer! It's not possible that after having hooked up with so many birds, you still want a married one that seems never to separate! Stop being so fucking masochistic!
Liam: Yes, I like very much going out with those birds that I know at nightclubs, but I'm interested in just one and I know she likes me too!
Noel: If she liked you, she wouldn't have moved with James before getting married.
Liam: Maybe he forced her. Someday, she'll realize she's not ok with him. I need to speak with her. I haven't done it in months and I also need to have that little child in my arms. I should be her father, not that asshole.
Noel: But you're not, and I doubt a lot that Michelle divorce and move with you. No matter how much all of us want that.
Liam: You see how you turn against me? You're supposed to be on my side!
Noel: I'm fucking helping you not be a masochistic! You can't still be in love with Michelle! But I don't know what else to do with you. (He runs his fingers through his hair in despair, down his ears and up to his neck.) We have to go to the rehearsal, let's go. (Both of them leave the room.)
