It's partey afta partey. Ace chuckled as he pictured Mike doing his famous shoulder dance. "I don't think I can make it tonight man," Ace rubbed his temples with a grimace. "Yo! Hold on, I must be talking to the wrong person," there was a pause and then his voice, "This sure is Ace the fountain of shishi*, the god of pounds, dollars, and francs," he hailed.

Ace didn't get help from her, he's shy, anxious that she's going to return the ten dollars teddy bear that he brought. His soft small hand clenched the ear of the brown teddy bear, he pouted and with a shaking body, he approached his mother.

Creighton argued as Derek, Andrew and Irena threw in their hands. “I’ll see your bet and raise you another ten,” Cathy told her, matching the chips with her own. “I’ll call,” Creighton said, tossing the chips onto the growing pile. “Full house,” Cathy said proudly, laying the three tens and the two eights on the table. “Nice try, but my full house beats yours,” Creighton said with a wide smile. “Aces over jacks.” “Well played,” Sandra told her husband, laying her straight flush on the table. “But I still win.”

Spade protested, but when Ace glanced at him, he pressed his lips tightly and nodded. "We said, back to our positions," Jack put his arm around Spade. "Uh, it's okay. It's just a handshake," she said, withdrawing her hand from Ace and approaching them. The men paused, all looking back to see where Ace was. When she extended her hand, they all shook their heads. "Uh, we're okay, Ma'am! My hands are sweaty. Sorry," Ace suddenly said. "Don't you guys have sweaty hands too, Jack and Queen?" he turned to them.

Daniela carried a wicker basket with her that had some freshly made bread, cheese, and wine that Augusta had looked the other way at when we nicked it. Luca and me were both in swim trunks, with white undershirts. We planned on going swimming. Daniela was humming to herself, a Coldplay song I vaguely recognized because she played it all of the damn time. She had on flip flops and the corner of the flip flop caught on one of the old stairs, causing her to twist around with a sharp cry as she fell into my arms. The basket dropped, and everything in it fell. Including the bottle of wine that shattered.

The clean hallway outside our home had turned into a disgusting garbage dump covered in buzzing flies. There was a designated trash area in the neighborhood, and everyone here had lived together for over a decade. There was no way people didn’t know where garbage was supposed to go. Anthony immediately exploded in anger. “Who did this? Throwing trash in front of someone else’s door like this, do you people have no shame?” Someone nearby muttered under their breath, “It’s still nothing compared to being the other man.” Anthony immediately lost it, grabbing the speaker by the collar. “What did you just say? I’m telling you right now, Anthony is not an adulterer! The real adulterer is that fake

“Go change and meet me in the truck in five minutes.” “Deal,” I say with a laugh. Normally, I’d do my hair and makeup to go to a bar, but tonight I don’t give a damn. I throw on jeans, a black top, and red heels. I cave and put on mascara and lip gloss, but I’m still ready in just about five minutes. I comb my hair with my fingers as I walk through the old farmhouse and outside, getting in the passenger side of my grandpa’s old pickup truck. “Lucky for us, the bar isn’t far from here,” he says and pulls down the driveway.

In its place was a look of indifference. It was as though whatever was going on had nothing to do with him. He even handed a tool to Hector. "Don't look at him. Look at me," said Hector. He turned my face toward him and slapped me again. He glanced at Howard, saying, "See? I told you she'd like it, but you didn't believe me. Do you believe me now?" I was only reacting that way because of the beer! The beer was spiked, so I couldn't even put up a fight. Yet the way he put it was as though I were being compliant.

His voice was quieter when he replied. “…Fair point.” The waiter looked between the three of us, unsure whether he should escape or wait. Ace waved him closer. “Yeah, bring the shots. If you have tequila, perfect. If not, I’ll take whatever. And keep them coming, yeah? I need something strong enough to make this father-son bonding thing bearable.” Scott choked on air. “Ace!” “What?” Ace asked innocently. “It’s a compliment. I’m trying.” The waiter nodded quickly. “I’ll bring a tray.”

Meanwhile, Caroline was standing in the foyer, leaning against the door frame as she watched the Shentons in disgust. 'They really have no regard for my money,' she thought. In that instant, a truck drove through the gate and stopped in the yard. It was loaded to the top with muddy potatoes and sweet potatoes. "Carry those inside my large house!" Brandon hollered to the truck driver. Caroline frowned. 'Are they trying to move all these things into the villa?' Upon receiving Brandon's order, the truck driver and the movers transported the crates into the villa. The three kids enjoying pudding were shocked by the scene.
