"Week?"
Martin sighs, "Boss, they can't just deport someone, they have to go through the proper channels. It'll be done."
Fuck. "Fine, what about that asshole Juan? What's he doing?"
"He's pissed. Jorge said that he doesn't suspect that he was set up, which gives us the element of surprise in whatever it is you have planned." He smiles, "Boss, do you need me to stay around?"
"No, you can leave. Let me know if there's any more updates." I peer into the house. It doesn't seem as though anyone has left yet. Great, no way to escape, without having a lecture about it.
He nods, "Will do, Barney's here if you need him. If you can pry him away from the redhead."
I smirk, I knew as soon as I saw Lacey that she'd be Barney's type. "Thanks, Martin." I turn and head back toward Mia.
Just as I sit down the door opens again, and Lacey barrels through it. "He's an asshole Mia." She practically growls as she sits down.
Mia smirks, "What's he done now?"
Lacey reaches for the bottle of champagne and fills her glass as Barney comes outside. "The jerk asked me if I wanted to go home with him. I mean what type of woman does he take me for? Who really goes home with someone they don't know because they growl and shit?"
Mia blushes, and I smirk. That's exactly how it happened with us. I still don't understand how a sweet virgin went home with me that night but fuck, I'm glad she did.
Lacey gasps as she takes in Mia's beet-red face and my smirk, "No offense, Mia.”
Mia shrugs, "I don't regret it. It was amazing. But Lacey, if you don't want to, then don't."
"I don't give up that easily Red," Barney grins as he joins us at the table. "You playing hard to get is just making me hard."
I shake my head, what an ass.
Lacey looks at him in disgust. "Pig."
Mia's trying hard not to laugh, "Sorry Barney, that doesn't work on Lacey. You want her, you're going to have to come up with something better than your caveman act."
Barney slams his hand on the table, "Challenge accepted."
Lacey's eyes widen, "Whoa." She says, raising her hands in the air, "Nobody said anything about a challenge. I don't accept a challenge."
Mia laughs, and I catch her mouthing the word 'Liar' to Lacey, I don't get the whole playing hard to get. It's a complete turn-off, if you're into each other go for it. Mia's not playing hard to get with me. She's confused, and I just need to clear her head of any confusion.
The back door opens and Dad and Tina walk out, both of them with wide smiles. Tina’s head rests against his shoulder, his arm around her, holding her close to him. He was never this intimate with Mom, he was an asshole toward her, and I hated him
"I'm so glad you're all getting along." Tina looks at Mia with such softness.
"Bored, Mom?" Mia asks with a smile making both Lacey and my dad laugh.
Tina's eyes widen, "Why would you say that?"
Mia cocks one perfectly shaped brow, "Oh, besides the fact that you've come outside and left your hundreds of guests inside, it could be the fact that as soon as you escaped..."
Tina gasps, "I did not escape."
"Suuureee." Mia says, "As I was saying, as soon as you escaped you look relieved."
Lacey hoots, "She's right, Mrs. Brady, I don't think I've ever seen you look so relieved."
Tina waves her hands, "Oh hush up, you two. What am I going to do with you?"
"Do you have any plans while you girls are here?" Dad asks, he seems so at ease around them, I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone or some shit, he's different. I'm not sure what to make of it.
