"The wrong fucking place, dear, that place being between my legs, apparently," Lola said, absently as she reached for an offered napkin and dabbed a bit under her eyes, "I never thought of you as someone who would get on with someone who was taken, love. And I would never, ever cheat on Kenzie. Ever. I was cheated on in my last relationship, you know. It hurts. I don't want that for Kenzie," Her head shook a few times as she sighed heavily. Apparently, however, Kenzie thought he had that. She just couldn't believe that he didn't trust her, after all this time.
"And I know it wasn't the iced hot chocolate. It was my tartish ways. But wouldn't it be nice if it were just the iced hot chocolate?" She questioned, trying a smile, though it was a bit wobbly. She was trying, but it was a bit soon to laugh.
"I thought he loved me as I was," Lola replied to the 'naturally flirtatious' business, "And if he was so upset, why didn't he talk to me? And I thought I at least had the...I don't know, respect of the other sisters besides Stella. I like Sammy! She's a lovely-lovely girl," She broke there for a little hiccup of emotion, "But apparently she thinks I'm a slut," Her hands went over her face and she shook her head as Benny went on about Von Trapps.
"Don't bring the Von Trapps into this. I love that family, and this will just ruin them!" She shook her head a few times, hair flopping about as she bit her lip, taking a few deep breaths, trying to calm down while in public, "I just want to know why they hate me. That's all. All I did was love their brother and be friends with you. I played with other people's hair! It wasn't just yours! I'm a bloody tactile person, I like to touch!" She had a flare of anger, "How dare they assume that I would have an affair because I was your friend! I don't go accusing Stella of having affairs whenever she flirts with Kale Nolan, do I? No! But she does! She does, and she is allowed because she's a bloody Ellisson, and unless you are a bloody Ellisson, you aren't safe."
She took Benny's hand and shook her head, "I can't forget it, Benny. I love Kenzie. I do. Even if he is choosing to believe his family over me. Even if he thinks I'm some whore. Even if he chose to dump me rather than talk to me about his concerns. Even if our relationship was focused and controlled completely by his family," She put her elbow on the table and her head rested on her palm, "I guess it boils down to the fact that I was willing to love him forever, and he was willing to love me until something came up," Her lip wibbled and she looked down, tears forming again, "I was going to ask him to move in together. Get our own flat."
