Tearing Down The House With Heather & Clyde (Complete)

Clyde kept looking away from Heather during that short period silence between them once he stopped talking. Unable to help feeling a bit weak that his emotions were getting the better of him, in addition to feeling a bit embarrassed by how emotional this scene with Heather was getting something that would have never happened to him prior to meeting Heather.

He turns his head slightly to the side in order to see out the corner of his eye on what Heather was calling his name for, and winds up getting taken by surprise as she suddenly wraps her around him in a very tight embrace, literally growing red in the face once she said 'thank you'.

He really did have the biggest soft spot for her.

"...Y-Your....... No problem.... You.... owe me, though..." Clyde would mutter to Heather as returned the embrace by wrapping his arms tightly around Heather's waist, pulling her closer against him, easing his anger and frustrations with a simple sigh as he eases himself in Heather's arms, the faint smell of popcorn and frosting all over her.

As Heather held Clyde tight, the smile on her face couldn't be bigger. How things switched from being so hostile to being this emotional would be a mystery to anyone else, but Heather didn't even think about it. She was living it up the best she could in this moment. As Clyde wrapped his arms around her, pulling her closer, she closed her eyes in their embrace.

"Heh....of course..." Heather says in response, her emotions turning into pure happiness of the whole fact. The emotions and peacefulness she was feeling before was nothing compared to the feelings that she was having now. "So..can we finally just go home? I can...repay you there..if that sounds good to you?" Heather says, her mood clearly changing for the better as she held Clyde in her embrace.

"Y-Yeah... But you're kinda doin' it now... Repaying me..." Clyde would mutter as he looked over his shoulder and saw the corner of Heather's smile as she held tightly onto him. It almost didn't feel natural to have these kinds of moments with Heather. He had known her for 7 days and it wasn't until this very moment that he saw Heather so happy. He remembered how messed up she looked when he was gone for a day and half as she waited for him. He was worried for her, but seeing her like this brought him so much relief. He barely understood why.

"I...like seeing ya... smile..." Clyde would mutter in an almost flustered state, having some trouble with saying that he was happy to see her happy. "Let's go home."

"Heh..I'm surprised you'd be fine with just this...I guess that's fine then..looks like we won't do anything tonight then." Heather says with a bit of a teasing tone. She was enjoying the moment the two were sharing more than anything right now. It seemed like not once had they shared a moment such as this one and now finally they were connecting. It was long overdue, but Heather wasn't complaining. She released the hug as she looked into Clyde's eyes, the big smile still on her face.

Hearing his words though makes her blush just a bit. It was a bit unexpected, but it made her smile wider. "I hope things stay like this for long. It's really something I could get used to." She says before nodding from his words to go home. She lets out a small laugh before she reaches down to hold his hand. It was a bit of an embarrassing thing to do, but she did it anyways before starting to walk towards the doors.

"Clyde I uh..plan on making this last as long as we can..and...I figure we should talk..about a few things on the way back...becauuse I can't guarantee I'll be wanting to do much talking when we get there." Heather says with a bit of a grin.

As Clyde hears Heather's teasing joke, his mouth drops open, a bit shocked by what she just told him, but would soon realize that Heather was just joking. "Heh... Sucha tease..." Clyde would mutter to Heather a small smirk across his face, before his eyes shifted away from her gaze for a moment. He had a hard time looking at Heather as she kept staring at him, causing Clyde to blush a rather deep shade of red just by looking back into her eyes. Heather had Clyde so flustered, to the point where he had trouble just speaking and hugging her back, let alone just trying to kiss her. He never really had this problem, at least until now.

"S-Same here... Hope it don't change..." Said Clyde in response to Heather as he started to recompose himself, before he saw Heather reach down and grab him by the hand, blushing instantly as he felt the warmth of her palm against his, but it wouldn't take the surprisingly flustered and embarrassed Texan long to adjust himself and move his fingers between hers, locking hands with her as Heather started to pull him along and make her way to the doors within the lounge and towards the parking lot.

"Heh... Believe me... I can't wait to get home either..." Clyde would say with a grin of his own as he began to think about what would await him as he and Heather returned home, before he would respond to everything else she said.

"Well... You know... I D-Don't plan on leavin' ya in the next 100 years... Ya did say 'Forever', remember? " Clyde would say quietly to Heather, definitely having quite a bit of trouble with actually telling Heather that he sought to be her until the end. Not just because she was going to bare his child, but because he wanted to stay with her. His only worry though came from what Heather had said, I uh..plan on making this last as long as we can. That worried him a bit, thinking that she actually had some doubt now about how long their relationship would last.

"So...uh... What we got to talk 'bout?" Clyde would ask a bit nervously as he was tugged along by Heather, reaching the double doors that would lead the two into the parking lot.

"Right" Heather says in response to Clyde's first set of words, also hoping it wouldn't change, as the two interlock fingers, holding hands together. She holds him tight, not wanting to let go of him or the moment that the two were sharing. It felt like such a rare occasion and it was almost unreal. It was something Heather would be experiencing for the first time in her life, accompanied by a feeling towards someone that she's never felt before.

Hearing the rest of his words, talking about the length of time they would stay together, she looks up at him with a bit of a surprised reaction. She definitely wasn't expecting him to be as set on making it last as she was. From hearing his words of regret earlier in the night to hearing the words that she was now, it was like a whole new attitude, almost like a new person. But she knew he was the same, and him now saying this really uplifted her and her hopes. "Th..that's right..I did tell you that, and that still stands..You'll be mine forever." She says, looking straight up at him with the widest smile on her face that she's probably made in her life.

"As for that..There's going to be some things we have to work out if we're going to be together like this...I uh...I noticed you don't really like my brother all that much." Heather says as she looks up at the ceiling of the parking lot as they head towards the car. "Is there any way that can change? I get you have your little grudges, and I know he can definitely be very...annoying." Heather continues, her thoughts drifting to her brother and her own problems with him that she might have. "But, he really is a genuinely nice guy..and while it may get ridiculous..I guess..he only really wants the best for everyone."

In her own mind, she was half convincing herself that she should be more relaxed with her brother as well, but she was trying to reconcile things as much as she possibly could now that things were looking up. If everything could be normal, even if it's boring, that would just be great.

During one of their earlier arguments over the course of today and the previous night Clyde had said a few things that obviously expressed how much regret and reluctance he had for his relationship with Heather that he was initially forced into. When he told her those things he was either drunk or just frustrated and angry. In truth, Clyde had no regrets towards being with Heather and was chose to stay with her. However, he still did not want to be a father at all.

"F-Forever huh? Well... Ain't got no complainants here..." Clyde would say back to Heather with a wide grin as he held Heather's hand tightly, amazed by just how happy she looked right now and could barely believe that he was the source of such a beautiful smile. He truly had no complaints at being with her till the very end. He loved her enough for that. But he still doubted he could change much, and could only hope that he wouldn't screw up such a wonderful thing.

Clyde then listened to Heather speak and mention her brother Dante, and about how Clyde didn't like him, to which Clyde would simply nod in agreement towards. But when Heather asked him to try and make nice Clyde would simply let out groan in reluctance towards making peace with the other Sunderland. Clyde didn't like Dante Sunderland very much at all, especially during the brief thing he almost had going Bonnie a week ago. And while he was apparently hooked up with Alessa Mason, Clyde still didn't really care for him, even though he had no reason to hold as big a grudge as he once did.

Clyde did however, begin to think that without Dante, he would have never ended up with Heather, whom he also wanted to keep happy and would have to make nice with her brother just to do that. Again, Clyde had to swallow his pride and befriend his 'brother-in-law'.

"...Oh...A-Alright...Fine I'll do it... Ain't gon' be easy though... But if I gotta make nice with your bro... You gotta make nice with Bonnie too... Just like I do..." Clyde would say to Heather before he began to think back on how Bonnie and him last parted, realizing just how much he wanted fix things between them and see his sister again. In addition to hopefully cooling things down between Heather and Bonnie that started a couple days ago in the supermarket which Clyde had been informed by Bonnie.

Clyde's answer to Heather's request was definitely one that she was pleased to hear. She figured if they were going to become the couple that they were starting to move towards, it would be something that would be necessary for the whole family vibe to come into place. It was a step, a big one in her mind, to the ultimate happiness that she was looking for. This whole trip that started with just a devious plot for revenge had become to be the cement that was paved for the path of the rest of Heather's life, and as of right now she was quite liking what that path was leading her towards.

Hearing the rest of Clyde's response caused her heart to skip a beat just a bit as she bit her lip. "Uhhmm...You...think we could come to some sort of middle ground?" She said at first with a bit of a nervous laugh added at the end. When it came to Clyde's attitude towards Dante, she was almost in the same boat when it came to Bonnie. For some reason, Heather just had this odd feeling of competitiveness when it came to Bonnie. It showed through most of all in the little meeting that they had at the supermarket. It was just something about her that caused Heather to lose it a bit, wanting to sort of prove herself to be the better woman.

"Ugh..No that's not right..I'll try. It wouldn't be fair if I just asked you to do something like that and I didn't have to do anything." Heather finally says in response, accepting the fact that the same thing that applied with Clyde and Dante would apply with her and Bonnie. It was just something that had to be done. However, inside, Heather would agree with Clyde in the fact that it wouldn't be easy. Restraining herself from getting into yet another fight with Bonnie would be tough, but she decided she would have to try just as hard as Clyde will with Dante.

"That settles it then..I guess you could say we both have our little missions we have to take care of from now on." Heather says, a bit of a nervous smile appearing on her face as she tries to crack a joke about the situation.

Their have only been two people in Clyde's life that he would consider his family, which consisted of his mother, and Bonnie. But it seemed like things were changing a bit since Heather was joining him family, much like how was joining her's. At least that's what the couple hope to achieve once they patched things up with each other's sibling, which Clyde felt was easier said than done. He knew Dante had no malice towards him, but it was a little bit different for Clyde. "Believe me... Wish there was some dang ol' middle ground... Bonnie don't even know that you're... You know... " Clyde would remark, joking back at Heather while scratching his head nervously, knowing what he was going to have to do, while picturing just how difficult Heather was going to have it Bonnie.

"Didn't expect ya to be so fair, Heather..." Clyde would tease to Heather, actually a bit surprised by how fair she was being with him, rather than just demanding like she usually was. Not that Clyde was complaining, he liked this nicer version of Heather, it was definitely something Clyde could get used to.

Clyde would then nod in agreement towards Heather's last words regarding what they needed to do. It wouldn't be easy, but they had to at least try. "Yup! Guess I'll actually try an' talk to your bro tomorrow..." Clyde would tell Heather before he looked over at her with a smirk. "...Late tomorrow... I don't think I'll be getting up very early..." Said Clyde with a sly grin as he looked at Heather. "Maybe we should try gettin' everybody together or somethin'... Like Dinner, ya know?" Clyde would suggest with a light shrug as he suggested the idea, just as the two reached Heather's car.

"You know this ain't gon' be easy with just the two of us, babe... Dunno if a mid-carder's salary will cover you and a baby... Especially if there's uhm... Two of em... It's my gene's, ya know?" Clyde would remark nervously, once again being very unsure about handling such a big responsibility of raising a family. He had no problems taking care of himself, but a family was a different story.

Hearing the first part of Clyde's response, Heather's face turns red a bit as she thinks of that fact. "U-ugh..you're right I didn't even think of that.." Heather says, trying to think of how Bonnie might take the news. To be completely honest, it has been quite a while since the last time she's seen his sister. That meeting at the supermarket being the last time she's seen her. The amount of things that happened between the time, and the fact that the two were actually developing a mutual relationship, both wanting to become a couple, might come as a surprise to Bonnie.

"Weeell don't get so used to it. I'm just making this one exception. After this you're back to just doing whatever I say." Heather says, with a wink clearly showing that she was just joking around. While maybe a couple days ago, that statement might have been completely serious, today it was almost just turned into a little inside joke that the two could share, Heather seeing the happiness in being a loving couple.

As the two reach her car, Heather walks to the driver's side, her hands on the door as she listens to Clyde's words. Returning the smirk that Clyde was giving her, she lets out a small laugh. "I think I feel that same way..Somethiiiing tells me we're in for quite the night. That is if you can handle it and..keep up of course." Heather says as the subject changes a bit, going quickly back to the main discussion seconds later. "Uh, dinner huh? I guess that wouldn't be too bad. Maybe in a couple days or so..but if we do that, we better have made peace with Bonnie and Dante. If we're having dinner, the only people who can stir up trouble with eachother are me and you, not them." Heather says, adding a bit of a joke at the end of her agreement with Clyde's suggestion.

Heather opens the door to her side of the car, about to go in until she hears Clyde's next words. She plants her arms on top of the car, resting her chin down on them as she stares at Clyde. "We can make it. We're both in the business you know. So is everyone we know pretty much. We'll be able to do it, just make sure you know where your money is going. Think of how much you'll be able to keep if you cut off this alcohol stuff hm? But enough of that, let's not think of this now though. Especially because now I know who to blame if we do have two instead of one." Heather says with a grin before taking her arms off the car. "Come on, let's get out of here already" She says before going to take her seat in the car.
