[/color][/size]onnie leaned against the bar as he watched the few lunchtime patrons guzzle down their beers and sandwiches. occasionally one would ask for another cold something to drink and lonnie would get it for him before the man could finish his sentence. he was very good at being a bar tender here in milan, especially when under pressure. the ladies loved him and the men always tipped very well. today, however was fairly slow. lonnie's mind drifted into the streets where people lounged about outside, fully taking advantage of the cool weather. he sighed as he went back to his little corner of the bar and resumed his cleaning. he wasn't focused on his work today, however. luckily he didn't have classes today at the university or he would have really been stressed. instead, he was focused on an issue that had been eating away at him since it occurred. georgia was coming in to visit him today during his lunch break. his heart beat a little faster just thinking about it. he hadn't seen her in quite a while; since she had gotten back from taking bryleigh to london. no one was supposed to know that the pair of them had a child together. she was young and he was still in school. lonnie got a sudden chill when he thought of how her father would react if he had known that lonnie had gotten his daughter pregnant. only her darling mother knew. but now another layer to this drama. a girl named jersey knew about this baby situation and had gossiped to everyone. now it was only a matter of time before georgia's father found out. hopefully today when she arrived, they would figure something out.

H[/color][/size]e had been cleaning the bar in the same little circle now for a bit, because he had been thinking about all this. over the internet last night, georgia had mentioned something about going to get bryleigh with her. this sent a whole other type of chill down his spine. "more people she is related to." he sighed. "it took her father bloody well long enough to even speak to me." there were several factors in this situation; several different situations as to what could happen. lonnie wasn't ready to argue or have to explain himself, but he was ready to fight for his baby girl. sure the couple might not have been ready for a baby, but it happened so they were to deal with this together. lonnie was fully prepared to ask georgia to marry him. he hadn't decided how he would do it yet, but that was his level of commitment to her. sure, he could be a complete ass at times, but he was willing to work towards an amazing life together. of course, the two of them had to get things situated and settled before they actually had a wedding. lonnie was by no means rich, nor did he foresee himself becoming a wealthy man. lonnie came from nothing. his aunt and uncle raised him because his own parents didnt want him. he wanted his child to be raised with a family that loved and wanted her. he wanted to be able to support this child and send her to the best schools possible. he wanted her to be an artist, or a musician, or whatever she wanted to be. lonnie was with georgia for the long run and he wanted her to understand this.

T[/color][/size]he clock's hand was edging closer to the one o' clock hour. almost time for lonnie to break for his hour lunch. he was really his own boss here during the day. he had earned it. there was barely anyone in the bar anyways. it was more a night time place. lonnie put up his cleaning supplies and re-set the bar with drink coasters and re-filled the straws. little things to keep his mind off the matters of the day. he flipped his long hair to the side and turned to the espresso machine. his eyes kept glancing up at the clock above the bar. he was a little surprised that it was now almost twelve fifty. he poured the hot espresso into two decorative glasses and set them on nice plates. this bar that lonnie had worked at for so long was more classy than just a bar. it was more of a lounge, when one comes to think of it. easy jazz music is softly played through hidden speakers behind red velvet walls. dark woods lined the interior. it was nice and lonnie really enjoyed working here. they normally got businessmen and fashion models in this part of town, so he rarely had any trouble. with another sigh, he put the two cups of coffee under the bar so he could magically whip them out when she got here. there was nothing to do now but wait and clean out the espresso machine.....

[georgia roxanne fulton]

- - - Georgia Roxanne Fulton was in the middle of a new photshoot for the magazine, Dell'Acqua. Dell'Acqua was a famous fashion magazine in Italy that was read by women of all ages, from young girls still in primary academies, to teens in secondary school, to students in university, to adults that lived in the upper social sphere. Georgia had done photoshoots for feature articles in the magazine Dell'Acqua many times and had been the secondary focus on the cover in several issues, but today was her first cover shoot for the magazine. Georgia had been modeling casually since she was at De Luca academy, but had only been doing it professionally for a year. After going through a dramatic year at De Luca, Georgia had decided that she did not want to go through another year of education at university. Her father was the Italian prime minister, after all, so she didn't really need a job that gave that much money, or at least she didn't think she did. Now that there was a possibility she would be raising her one year old daughter, Bryleigh, she was thinking of quitting her job of modeling and being a video girl and going back to school at Milan University. As much fun as her lifestyle was, if Georgia was going to assume resposibility of her daughter, she would have to get a better job and back off of the partying, heavy drinking, and late night clubbing that she did on a daily basis. Normally, Georgia was at home in front of the spotlight, but today she was totally off. It was one of her biggest photoshoots of her life and she just couldn't focus. She wasn't listening to the photographer, she was uncomfortable, and stiff. She knew the pictures were going to look terrible, but she had much bigger things to worry about at the moment. Georgia was going to be meeting up with her boyfriend, Alonzo at noon to talk about their baby situation. Alonzo had gotten her pregnant last year and then Georgia had fled to London with the help of her mother. She had stayed in London the entire nine months with her aunt and uncle, Lillian and Stuart, because she couldn't let her father find out she was pregnant at eighteen. If her father found out, all hell would break loose. Georgia would probably be disowned, or worse. Georgia had left the baby with her aunt and uncle under the agreement that they would raise her for as long as Alonzo and Georgia needed them to do so. Georgia had planned on letting them raise her for life, but now she was having regrets and really wanted to get her daughter back. The whole situation was supposed to be a secret, but somehow her mortal enemy, Jersey, had found out about it and blabbed to the whole town, so now Georgia was like public enemy number one.

- - -Georgia was staring at the old clock on the wall while she was supposed to be focusing on working it for the camera. The shoot was a vintage style shoot, so she was wearing forties style clothing and all the shots were done in black and white or sepia. If she was in a better mood, she would have been more focused on her work, but right now she was just thinking about the impending meeting with Alonzo. Georgia really wasn't ready to be a mother, but they had made the mistake so it was now time to own up. She knew her mother would help her out and she had the money to support her, especially after she went to university and got a better job than a model. Sure, modeling paid well, but it wasn't the type of job for a mother to have. Raising Bryleigh would also mean that Georgia would have to give up her glamourous lifestyle, which was something she wasn't looking forward to doing at all. There was the big problem of her father not knowing yet. Her dad had hit her a few times in the past, but Georgia had told no one about it. He went off on her quite frequently with verbal attacks, so Georgia was afraid that if her dad found out she had gotten pregnant and now had a child without him knowing, he would completely go off on her and do something completely crazy. The whole thought scared her to death and made her sick to her stomach. Georgia wished she had the power to go back in time and redo the events of the past year, but she knew it wasn't possible. All that was left for her to do was to embrace what was happening and accept it. Alonzo and Georgia would work through it, together, right ? Georgia breathed a sigh of relief when the photographer told her she was free to go. Georgia stepped out of the green screen and then grabbed her Louis Vouitton bag from behind the counter. She stepped into the changing room and took off the costume piece, then stepped into her whitewashed skinnies and added the cute tank. She slipped her feet into ballet slippers and then raced out of the studio, hopping into her little car.

- - -Georgia was speeding down the little crowded roads of Milan faster than she had ever driven in her entire life. She was liable to get into a wreck and die before she even got to talk to Alonzo, which would just further complicate the situation. After taking a few deep breaths, she slowed down her pace to a safe speed and then increased the volume of her radio. Loud volumes always calmed her nerves for some reason, so she blasted the music the entire rest of the drive. Within fifteen minutes or so of leaving the photoshoot, Georgia was pulling up in front of the cafe/bar where her boyfriend worked. Georgia pulled carefully into a parking spot and then unbuckled. Before she went in, she checked her make-up in her rearview mirror and then stepped outside, pale and shaking. The whole situation was making her so nervous, she was surprised she wasn't puking. Georgia always puked when she was nervous. Wiping her sweaty palms on her pants, she swung her purse over her shoulder and then made her way towards the entrance. Once she was inside, she went over to the bar and then flashed Alonzo a nervous smile before she leaned in and gave him a gentle kiss. Breathlessly, she emitted a few words before sitting down on one of the bar stools directly in front of where Alonzo was standing. "He still doesn't know."

[/color][/size]onnie started to pace the length of the bar. he was getting more nervous with every little tick of the clock. his mind was racing with things to ask her and what he should say to her. he hadn't seen her since she had gotten back to milan. the bar had kept him busy and for this he was grateful. he needed something to occupy his time and keep his mind off things. somehow the image of a child kept finding its way into his dreams. lonnie thought back on when georgia first left to go to london. the last time he saw her, their departure ended in heated words and he still regretted that. he regretted not being able to be there for her when their baby girl was born. lonnie felt like a terrible father, even though neither of them had planned this. he constantly felt like there was something he shouldn't have done. he shouldn't have let her leave. in the weeks following georgia's leave, lonnie had to see several doctors. this was tearing him up inside. they prescribed him medications for clinical depression and anxiety. as of now he has still been taking these. he felt like something such as this shouldn't have effected him the way it did, but the doctors reassured him that it was normal separation anxiety. that showed how much he loved and still loves this girl. now the thought of even flying to london to see her, no to get the child rested on his brain. a whole new thought suddenly popped up in his flustered head. a faint smile crossed his worried face as he wondered what their child even looked like. he wondered whose eyes she had gotten and what color her hair was. with this newfound happy thought, lonnie leaned his chin on his hand on the bar. his eyes were distant, so he wasn't paying attention when the only man sitting at the bar asked for his check. lonnie hurriedly snapped out of his daze and gave the man his check and cleaned up his plates and drink. the man was a regular in the bar. every lunch break, he would come there and order the same thing, his 'usual'.

T[/color][/size]he stillness in the bar was amplified by the smooth jazz flowing out of the hidden speakers. with only two or three patrons, lonnie felt oddly lonely and awkward, even though he had no reason to feel so. he had the love of a gorgeous girl, or so he still thought. lonnie walked out from behind the bar to clean tables he had already cleaned twice. a third time couldn't hurt them. he ran his rag over them in large circles very slowly, trying to take up time by looking as if he was doing something. he was his own boss today. the last of the patrons left with smiles and a nice tip. he loved getting lovely customers like that old couple. they tipped well and he needed all the tips he could get. that right there was the main reason georgia's father hated him. his status in society. lonnie didn't come from a wealthy family. he was raised by his aunt and uncle because his own parents didnt want him. sure he had it rough, but he made the best of it. whenever he used to take georgia on dates, he would always be very lavish, thinking that things like that was what she wanted. those were the days that he pretended he was someone he wasn't. he fooled himself into thinking that he could afford taking her to all these five star places, when in reality, he couldn't afford a cone of gelato. thats how much she meant to him, though. he wanted, and still does, want everything for her, even though she might already have it.

T[/color][/size]here. he heard it. a little car pulled up and stopped it's engine. he squinted, trying to see through the tint of the windows. it was her, just as he thought. she was checking herself in the mirror, but he couldn't tell what the expression on her face was. lonnie grabbed up his cleaning rag and rushed back to the bar. he turned and looked in the mirror behind the bar and fixed his hair, touching it up here and there. he started to take deep breaths to calm his heart. his hands were turning the rag over and over and his palms were sweaty. he remembered he had on his black apron so he quickly took it off and was folding it as she walked in the door. their eyes met and lonnie's heart melted. she was even more gorgeous than he remembered. he looked down at his attempt at folding an apron and smiled to himself before looking back up at her, who was now in front of him at the bar. she kissed him but he wouldn't let her get away. there was no one in the bar to stare so he placed his hand in the nape of her neck of held her there as he kissed her some more. he released with a smile. "He still doesn't know." she whispered. lonnie knew exactly what she was talking about. "hello to you too, lovely." he reached under the ledge of the bar and pulled out the coffee that he had made earlier for them. by now it should be cool enough to sip. "i am glad he still doesnt know, but we cant keep it from him forever. i mean now that jersey knows, theres really no hiding it, is there?"[/color]

[georgia roxanne fulton]

- - - As Georgia entered the quaint and quiet bar where her boyfriend, Lonnie worked, she was the picture of serenity, even though inside she was an emotional wreck. Georgia had never been the kind of person that displayed their true emotions and feelings. She was able to hide how she was really feeling and fool people into believing that everything was okay in Georgie's world even though it wasn't okay at all. This was one of those moments, though she had a feeling that Lonnie would be able to tell that she was as nervous and worried as he was. Even though they had been away from each other for nearly a year, Georgia and Lonnie were childhood friends and had been dating for several years now, so they could read each other just by looking at their body language. As Georgia entered the bar and heard the little tinkle of the bells that hung above the door, she swallowed hard and smoothed her hair and shirt. She looked as perfect and beautiful as she always did. Georgia had the model-perfect complexion, used the best make-up, and always wore the best fashions. Even though she came from a wealthy family, she wasn't spoiled at all. She appreciated the simpler things in life and loved Lonnie, even though he came from a different social circle than she did. At the moment, her hair was perfectly styled, her movie star smile was perched upon her lips, and her make-up looked gorgeous. She looked so good partly because she had just come from a photoshoot, but she also was the type that was blessed with natural beauty. Inside though, she was sick and nevous and confused. She hadn't told her father yet, and she was so scared of what would happen when her father first found out. Would he kick her out of the house ? Would he disown her ? Or would something much worse happen ? Georgia didn't really know, at all. She didn't want to tell her father, but she knew she would have to tell him soon since she was planning on bringing Bryleigh back to Milan soon enough. On top of all that, Georgia knew nothing about taking care of a child. She had never had to have a job growing up, so she never even did any baby-sitting like normal teen girls did. Sure, her mother would help, but what if Georgia was a terrible mother ? What if she did something wrong ? What if her daughter hated her ? Georgia groaned with fear and then bit her lip as she inched closer to the bar. It was now or never.

- - -Even though it was only a few minutes of silence as she stood in front of the bar, for Georgia, it felt like eternity. Georgia hadn't seen Alonzo since she had gotten back from London, because he had been really busy with his job and his classes, and she had been busy with her modeling and the video shoots for the different Italian pop and rock artists that she worked for. She had missed him so much, but she felt that it would be better to avoid him for the time being, because she was afraid the reunion would be too painful. However, as she stood in front of him, Georgia knew that she had been wrong. Seeing him again still took her breath away. As she stood there in silence, Georgia knew that he was still the one that she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, especially since they now would be raising their child together. Georgia loved Lonnie so much, even though he had always had to struggle to take her out to the expensive restaurants and clubs in Milan, even though she was fully aware that he did not have the money to go to those sorts of places. Georgia didn't mind that he had less money than she did and she had tried to tell him over and over that she didn't need the lavish things to be happy, but he would never listen to her. She just guessed that he wanted the best for his girlfriend, no matter if it broke his bank or not. As cheesy as it sounded, Lonnie was all the gorgeous socialite wanted and needed. She had all the money in the world, and even all that money wasn't enough to buy the love and devotion that Lonnie always gave her. Georgia just hoped that she was usually able to give as much back as he gave her. Georgia's chocolate brown eyes met with Lonnie's, and she went weak in the knees, grabbing on to the bar for support. In all honesty, she didn't know how she had survived so long without him by her side.

- - -As Georgia leaned over the bar and kissed him gently, she started to pull away but the let go of her resistance as Lonnie pulled her close and nestled her head in his arms. Georgia gently placed her hands on the side of her face and kissed him deeply and passionately. He still smelled exactly the same as he had before and he felt the same. Georgia had missed his warm embrace and her heart had ached while she was away from him. The separation had been really tough on Georgie, even though she thought it was the best thing to do at the time. She was away from her friends, family, and her only boyfriend she had ever had for about ten months. It had been total agony and she had cried herself to sleep most nights. Going through labor and delivery on her own was hell as well. Of course, her aunt and uncle were there with her, but it would have been so much better if she had had Lonnie's hand to death-grip and him to scream at throughout the whole thing. As they finally pulled away, Georgia listened to what Lonnie had to say, bit her lip, and responded with hesitation. "I know. I know he has to find out sooner or later, especially since we are going to raise Bryleigh...but I'm afraid of what he might do when he finds out, Lonnie."

Georgia trailed off for a moment and then spoke again in a nervous whisper. "I'm probably going to go back to university soon as well...so I can have a better job and all."[/color] Georgia knew that since she was going to be raising her daughter, she needed a better and more stable job than a model, even though it was a fun job. She was only going to model until the end of her contract, and then she would go back to school part time. She figured that while she was in school and Lonnie was in school or working, her mother could take care of their little girl. Georgia was so nervous and worried about the whole thing, but deep down she knew that owning up and raising their daughter was what they really needed to do. It would be the best for Bryleigh, which was all that really mattered, right ?
