"Of course, it's true. She might be young, but she has the know-how I think we're looking for, and she'll come in wanting us to succeed as much as we want to."
He talks highly of her like they're a couple. They aren't. Not yet. Some people take time to grow into their feelings.
If he hasn't realized he's in love with her yet, he will one day. The same as he'll realize it's notushis Babygirl is following. It'shim, even if she doesn't know it yet, either.
“Alright, we get her on board, but please be careful. I don’t want to shut down the shop before we’ve even begun.”
“Don’t worry about it.”
"Well, that's all I have for the moment on the building.” I sigh. “We’re going to open the temporary sex club where the strip club used to be." I was thinking that the whole section can be refurbished into a sex dungeon when we're done. Until then, we can play around with it. "The other thing we might have to worry about is Ricco."
I briefly mentioned him weeks ago after my encounter. Still, with this new development with Peter, I'm wondering if something else is going on that could either affect us or potentially screw with us.
I don’t want to have anything to do with either Ricco or Peter. But Peter isn’t someone I can avoid.
"You think Ricco is dumb enough to stir up shit withus?" Nick challenges, staring at me in disbelief.
"Yes, I do, but I'm keeping watch. I just want to make you guys aware."
“I’ll kill his ass myself if he causes trouble.”
Nick's a hothead we're always trying to calm.
"I got it, Nick. You guys just need to know this shit in case there's trouble."
I'm talking to Christian after this meeting about Ricco, so I'm hoping to stop any trouble in its tracks before it comes to fruition.
“Cool, I’ll leave it to you then.”
I nod. "It’s lunchtime, guys. Valentina should have the food ready now."
“Nice. You think I could borrow your maid for the day. She has the kind of ass I need this weekend.”
That’s what I get for hiring a young maid.
"You'll have to ask her. The way I heard it, she had enough of you last time."
They all laugh, even him.
"Impossible. Nobody gets enough of me."
Nick leaves with his brothers while mine stays behind. With them gone, the tension I usually have with Christian returns.
It's obvious he feels it, too, in his tentative steps.
When we used to live at home, we'd argue every day and hate each other the same. He’d think I was a brown-nosing prick, and I couldn’t understand why he had to always be the fucking rebel.
He just didn't know I was more of a rebel than he was and learned how to play the game better.
When we needed each other, though, we were always there.
A little like now.
“You know I’m still amazed you asked me to be on board with this idea,” he states.
“Don’t be. I wasn’t going to leave you out.”
“That’s the part that amazes me.”
