LOGINJulian’s pov“That was… romantic,” I said to him. “You seem to be watching a lot of romantic movies lately.”He laughed, getting comfortable in his seat. “So you’re saying i can’t do anything comfortable for you. Is that it?”“No,” I smiled. “I just… don’t see that romantic side of you too often.”“I fought for you today, what more do you want?”He wasn’t wrong.He looked around admiring the decorations. “It took you how many hours to pull this off?”I looked around admiring it as well. “Let’s say a couple of hours because I did tell my butler. Then I told my maids and all of them had to run around doing things and right now I’m actually happy that, well, everything is good.”He chuckled. “Your butler again. I just hope he doesn’t screw this up for us.”I folded my arms and raised a brow. “We are here for us. Don’t bring up my butler again.”He nodded and looked around. “I’m only seeing two seats here. Where’s your mother’s own?”“Oh, she’s not joining us,” I said, leaning forward to
Carlos’s povI had expected a lot but definitely not that. Of all the times I had expected this kind of dinner, it definitely wasn’t the one where I had to be with his mother. The woman hated me. What was I supposed to do?“Are you still there?” Jules asked.I sighed. “Yes, but this is really crazy and unexpected.”“Well, it’s important. Family bonding and whatnot.”I couldn’t just say no to this. I had to go or there could be consequences.“I will be willing to come to the house. When do you want us to have this?”He chuckled. “I already gave you a date and a time, but I will send it through message so that you will have it at the back of your mind that we have to spend some time together this evening. Plus, I don’t like how you are far away and my mother and you are on opposite ends. It would be nice if both of you can actually hash out whatever is going on between the both of you.”A small sigh escaped my lips. “You know your mother. She just doesn’t like me for some reason.”“It m
Carlos’s povI got back to my house to see Laura standing outside the building. I looked back to make sure Jules had not followed me up the stairs as I grained at her.“What the hell is your deal? You shouldn’t even be here? I was gonna meet you later.”She shrugged. “Couldn’t wait. My guy had to go to the hospital because you broke his fucking Jose to impress your lover.”I scoffed. “So this is still about that? I already told you that we’d see. I sent it through text to you multiple times. How many more times do you want me to say it to you?”“Maybe a million more times. But if you’re gonna break my workers nose, at least give us a heads up. Medicals cost extra.”“He was supposed to know that I was going to punch him.”She sighed and looked around, flailing her arms in frustration before she looked at me squarely.“You still didn’t need to punch him you dimwit. That’s what I’m trying to explain here. He’s not a punching bag. Now you gotta pay extra or I will fuck you up.”Laura wasn
Carlos’s povThe man stared at Jules, and raised brows, as he laughed before looking at me and everyone around the mall. It was clear that everyone was angry at him and wanted him gone. But no one was attacking him. They only stared at him with anger like they would kill him if he didn’t get out of their sight.I stepped forward. “Look, man, you pushed our table earlier, and you didn’t just stop there. You also poured drink on my fiancé’s shirt. This whole mess on his shirt, that was all you.” I pointed out, as everybody nodded and agreed with me.Then the lady attending to the line stepped forward. “You should step to the back of the line before I call security.”The man looked at the lady and scoffed. “And you are?”“A woman who is doing her job.”“Ooohh, I like that. Can I get your number though.”“With the way you’ve been acting, I have a better chance at giving a lizard my number than you. And I don’t even like lizards.”He scoffed and looked around, pointing to all of us. “All
Carlos’s povThe moment he was gone, I went to a secluded place to answer my calls. Nowhere felt safe so I went to the bathroom.I locked the door behind me after the last person had gone before picking the call.“Why are you not picking up?” I said. I was getting impatient. “I’ve been calling for a while now.”She chuckled. “Chill. I’m already dressed and I’m out of the house. I’m calling the team. I’ve seen the address that you sent me and we’re working towards talking to the security guard and cutting a deal with him. We’re also working to see which one of my guys is going to be the one that comes to look for trouble because some of them don’t want to get punched.”I chuckled. “Fine. Do your best.”“Like I said, it doesn’t come cheap.”“When have you ever been cheap?” I shrugged. “Listen, Laura, do your thing. When you’re done, me and you will go to a secluded area and then we can cut a deal. How about that?”She chuckled. “Fine. Whatever.”Then I cut the call. My phone buzzed aga
Julian’s povWe got to the venue as I got out of the car and stepped aside for him to get out. He started to tap on his phone. I looked to what he was typing, but then he removed the screen from me.“I see we are hiding things from each other now,” I chuckled, but he shook his head.“We aren’t. But I can’t have you ruining the surprise with your snooping.”I nodded. “Fine. Alright. I give up. I’m not going to snoop into your phone anymore.”He chuckled. “Look, how about you stop worrying about me and take me to this place you want me to be in. You know, this special place that you say is very good and is wonderful and is the best thing that happens in Sliced bread. I just want to know where this place is.”I chuckled. “Fine. But you have to get off your phone. You’ve been tapping on it since we’ve been in the car. Seriously, I don’t know what you’re typing or what you’re showing out there.”He nodded and tapped on his phone again, then put it in his pocket. “Fine.”I held his hands an
