![]() Delectables A charming little restaurant that is as known for it's calming atmosphere as it is for the homemade delicacies that it features on it's menu, such as warm brie, quiche, and it's reknowned, homemade gespacho. Featuring it's own small deli inside of the establishment that offers imported meats and cheeses, Delectables is the type of place where a book makes for the perfect eating companion. Only today, a rather (in)famous patron graces it's doors. Synn stands outside of the restaurant along 4th Avenue and watches, waiting for his guest as he takes a drag from his cigarette. |

Mercedes is shown walking out of the parking lot holding her cell phone to her ear. Sean, I don't know why you are so nervous. We are just having lunch together, it's not that serious. Sean I am sure that your name will be brought up, but again you do not have anything to worry about. Mercedes laughs as she finds it funny that Sean, her bestfriend is so concerned about the dinner that is about to take place with his bestfriend and his ex. Mercedes screams out bye as she approaches the front door where Synn is standing. Synn, the last time we spoke. You told me you were honestly going to try to stop smoking, and look at you. [Sigh] It's great to see you though. Mercedes slowly takes the cigarette out of Synn's hand and leans over embracing him softly. She smiles and the two make their way inside. |

"I did try Alicia. Try being the operative word." Synn says. "It simply didn't take." The two step through the door and into the waiting station where a handsome young man walks up. "Table for two?" He asks, to which Synn nods in confirmation. The restaurant has only a small handful of people in, as it's still early in the day. The host places two menus down onto a table that offers a charming view outside of the window and the bustling street outside. Synn pulls out Mercedes' chair for her, then takes his seat opposite her. The waiter says,"Can I get you anything to drink?" "Red wine." Replies Synn, who then looks to Mercedes to offer her selection. "Order whatever. I'm treating." |

Mercedes looks at the menu for a couple seconds and then up at the waiter. I'll talk some red wine to, and also a glass of water. The waiter nods in agreement and walks off to grab the drinks, Mercedes sits the menu down and looks at Synn. It has been so long Synn, the last time I saw you I think it was at Sean's house when that whole family meeting was going on and Sean walked out. Is everything okay? How are you holding up? I heard you signed with PDW, but then left. I hope it wasn't because of Sean being there, because I know you two are not together |

Synn closes his eyes and takes in a deep breathe. "Straight to Final Jeopardy I see." He turns and looks out thre window and watches as several people pass by, some stopping to take in the various goods offered in many of the small shop windows. Some go in and disappear from sight, the more painful ones, the couples, walk hand in hand, in open signs of affection. "Everything is...fine Alicia." He says in a voice that most certainly betrays him as untrue. "I don't know why you'd think otherwise." |

Because I am not stupid Synn, I'm sorry that I brought it up but you have to understand that you are my friend to. Whatever happened between you and Sean stays between you two, but if I feel like your in need then I will be there to help. Mercedes takes a sip of her water Just remember you can talk to me about anything, but if you want to move away from this topic and handle it another time then thats fine with me. The waiter comes back Are you ready to order? |

Synn was about to say something when the waiter walked up. Just by the expression on his face, his tone of voice, it was easy to tell he wanted -- needed -- to talk. Mercedes looked as if she was still perusing the menu so Synn opted to tell the waiter, "I'll start off with the guacamole and chips appetizer, a bowl of gespacho, then I want the spinach and cream cheese quiche'." He looked to Mercedes,"Order whatever you like." |

Mercedes sits the menu down and looks up at the waiter I will take the buffalo chicken wings as the appetizer and then I will have the shrimp pasta with the side of garlic bread. Mercedes hands the menu to the waiter Damn! I will need to hit the gym after that one. |

Synn smiled as he handed his menu to the waiter as well and watched as the young man walked away. Only then did he speak up, and even privately, Synn spoke in a hushed tone. "I shouldn't have spoken harshly Alicia, so you have my apologies. But ... you are right. I stepped down in PDW because things would have been ... awkward." Synn shrugs. "How could they not be? Sean told me he wasn't ready for a relationship, but every time I looked in the backstage area, he seemed to be overly interested in other men. All I wanted..." Synn fished out his cigarettes until he spotted the familiar sign of no smoking and he growled, depositing them back into his jacket pocket. "...was to help him not go down the same self destructive path that I did, and I failed. Miserably." |

Mercedes nods in agreement and she takes a sip of her water. I think Sean is just confused period, he doesn't know what he wants to do or where he wants to go. And the people he hangs around with doesn't make it any better. Mercedes stares into Synn's eyes. That is why I am here, that is why I decided to manage Sean so I can help him, and maybe keep an eye on him. |

Synn nods and takes a heavy swallow of his wine. He sets the glass back down and looks out the window again. "Personally, I'm glad. I was going to try and make the same offer, but I'm not entirely sure he would have gone for it. Things were growing easier when I ran into him a few days ago, until he had a breakdown. I swear to god I never felt so helpless." Synn turns his head to look Mercedes in the eyes. "I hate that feeling. I want to do whatever it takes to help him but...he won't let me. He accused me of trying to control him when all I wanted to do was save him." Synn exhales and turns his head again. "Funny. I could give my body to any man or woman who wanted it without a care in the world. But Sean? The one man I would give my heart and soul to, won't let me." |

I understand completely, there was a time when he wouldn't even let me in. But Sean knows better to push me away, I have always been there for him, I remember when he was struggling with his sexuality and I helped him become comfortable with it. Mercedes smiles. I'm scared that Sean is going to hurt himself, I think about it every night and I do not know what to do anymore. I heard he was in rehab again, seeing a Dr. Richardson and she is a pretty good doctor, and he hasn't stopped going to her classes so hopefully this will be the last time he ever has to step foot into another rehab facility. Mercedes looks at her phone, she recieves a text message from Sean saying "What are you talking about" She giggles as she writes back "Nothing" That was Sean, he wanted to know what we were talking about. But anyway, I know you love Sean and I know that you care for him a lot and maybe one day he will realize that, takes time though. |

The waiter brings over the appetizers of chips and fresh guacomole, and Synn's bowl of gespacho. After leaving once again, Synn motions with his hand towards the plate. "Dig in." And he dips a chip and brings up a healthy portion of guacomole and shovels it in his mouth, wolfing it down. "I hope you're right. I just wish there was something I could do, if he'd let me. He seemed to be easing up the other day, but I have this feeling if I try to step back into the picture..." He shakes his head and starts on his gespacho. After a few spoonfuls, Synn gets a devilish smirk on his face and says, "Give me your phone for a second." Synn takes it and saying nothing else, he text messages Sean, much to his and Mercedes' amusement... "What are you wearing?" |

After a couple minutes, Sean sends a text message back saying "That was a randon question, but I'm wearing sweats and a tee shirt, and I am laying down watching television" Mercedes reads Synn the text message and laughs. He probably thinks it's you or something, but then again we do play around like that. Mercedes starts to eat one of her buffalo chicken wings while looking at Synn. Like I said before I can still see that you love him, I wish there was something I can do to get you two back together because you are perfect for him, despite your old age [Mercedes giggles] you know I love your old self. |

"Old?" Synn smirls and arches an eyebrow. "Make all the jokes you want to dear Alicia, but the fac t remains nature is on my side. You'll always have more places to sag when you get to be my age." Synn winks, a very rare thing indeed for him. He then glances at her cell. "You're right you know. I do still loove the thick headed moron. It's why I left PDW I think. How can I stay around there and watch while he cozies up to those other men I hear he's been hanging around?" Synn's eyes lower and he whispers. "I just wish he understood." |
