Chapter 3
Mystic
Isit back with my laptop while the girls lounge on the beach. They call it sunbathing, but I say they’re getting cancer from the sun. Who the hell am I to ruin their good time? I brought them here to relax and have fun, and that’s what they’ve been doing. It fills my heart with happiness to see them so happy. There were times in my life when I thought this happiness would never happen, but it has, and I don’t plan on letting it go.
I type away at the keyboard, looking for any trace of the man I’ve been hired to find. It didn’t take me long to get the information they wanted. I grab my cell and make the call.
“Mystic, my man. Tell me you have news,” Grave, the president of the Royal Devils, answers on the first ring. I smirk.
“I got news for you, and I think you’re going to like, brother.”
“Yeah? That quick?”
“You know how I roll. I don’t like to make you wait,” I laugh into the phone.
“Let’s hear it,” he says before I ramble off the information I discovered for him. We hang up as soon as I’m finished, and he transfers the money to my account. I hear the ping on my phone and smile. My work is done for the day. Tomorrow there will be another phone call. Tomorrow another ping on my phone. This is what I do now. This is how I live, and I don’t think I’d change it for anything.
“Working hard, baby?” Yasmine asks as she walks over and sits in the chair next to me.
“Just a little. You okay?”
“I’m great. I can’t believe we’re here.”
“Believe it. I told you I wanted this trip to be special.”
“It truly is. I’m so lucky to have you,” she coos as I lean over and press my lips to hers. It’s not enough. I kiss her harder, deeper, shoving my tongue into her mouth. I don’t think I could ever want anyone the way I want Yasmine. When I first met her, I knew she was mine. I knew I had to have her, and that’s what I did. I made my interest known and went after her. It didn’t take much persuasion on my part. She was into me too. And this has been us since that day twenty years ago. I was just a kid back then. Just starting in life. Now, look at us.
“I hate that this is our last night here,” she says, sitting back and grabbing her drink off the table.
“Me too, but we’ll come back.”
“We will?” she asks hopefully. I can see how much my girls have enjoyed their time here, and I want to bring them back to watch it all over again.
“Yeah, we will. I want you two to be happy. Whatever that takes, I’ll do it.”
“We know we don’t need trips to be happy, Jake. We’re happy with you.”
“Good. I’m glad because you’re stuck with me,” I remind her with a smile before dropping another kiss on her lips.
“I wouldn’t want to be stuck with anyone else.”
“Good thing. I’d hate to have to kill him,” I tell her. She smiles at me, and the world fades away. Jenny and Yasmine mean everything to me. They are my world.
“I won’t even sit here and say you wouldn’t dare,” she laughs. She knows me. Yasmine knows what I’d do to anyone who touches or looks at them the wrong way.
“Smart woman.”
“What are you two talking about?” Jenny walks over and asks.
“You. How I’m proud of you.”
“I haven’t done anything, dad.”
“You graduated high school. You have big plans to go to college. That’s doing something, Jen,” I remind her.
“It’s not that much,” she says, blushing a little.
“Yeah, it is. It’s more than a lot of people do, and I’m proud of you for that,” I repeat. She leans down and hugs me around the neck before pulling away and smiling.
