Living Like Larry Novels & Stories

one of the men said amusingly with a grin. "EX wife Lucas, though I'm not divorced with the Pork, I still see her as an EX" Mr Mateo corrected in his grouse terrifying voice. He found himself a seat and yelled out to the bartender "A Tankard of Beer please?" The men cheered him once again, he seemed to be a well known person in the tavern, probably because of the way money is highly spent whenever he's around...

If not for my father’s insatiable quest for wealth, maybe I’d be on a vacation right now—right next to Barry. But Larry doesn’t even look up from his plate, using the clicking of fork and knife as a distraction from his father’s incessant stare. I shift from one end of my chair to another, twitching. The air feels stale. “It’s a command.” Larry rolls his eyes. “As if I have a choice. Like you haven’t already mapped out my whole life. I’m just another project to you.” He dumps his spoon on the table and jerks to his feet. “Sit down!”

“Here's your room. You're going to be staying here till you want to return to school again, Larry.” “Seriously, I need to be a billionaire soon.” Larry joked as we stepped into the room and I laughed. “Yeah, you should.” I replied. “Alright, I'm going to leave you to set your things. I'll be downstairs.” I added, clapping my hands as I turned to leave when he called again. “Laura.” “Yes, Larry?” I turned to him. “Do you... Do you live here? I mean, do you find peace of mind here? You don't want to go back to your old life?”

I blew out a long sigh of relief at his departure. Fuck! Man! Larry was really a handful. He was obviously a lot to deal with whenever he got into those inquisitive situations. He keeps forgetting that curiosity killed the cat. I let my eyes roam back to the screen of my laptop, a folder catching my attention. I leaned in closer.

He had a hunch that the incident was more than met the eye, but he did not expect a girl's life to be involved. “Let’s go in and see what they want this time.” Darcy sighed and went inside. Larry was smoking his cigarette on the couch. He shook his leg as he puffed out clouds of smoke, looking frivolous. There was a middle-aged man and woman on the other end of the couch. They were Larry’s parents, Lance and Naomi. Lance was smoking as well while digging his toe. Naomi was munching on peanuts and spat the husks all over the floor.

Joshua not caring about who this girl is, now gets on his bike and drives off. In Russia, Larry is in a club dancing the night away. The lights are flickering, and he is tipsy. The Russians invited him to a party. The music is loud, and it's 1 am he has his guards sitting by the couch with women around them. Larry decided to go out to get his mind off things.

Madison whined like a child. "You know the threat, Lucas. No more birthday party for you" Mom said folding her arms. I kept releasing deep breaths like I had just ran a race. I'm sure this is what Madison wanted. To keep pulling my legs till mom cancels my birthday party. I glanced at Madison again who was staring at the floor. I think this is actually good. No birthday stress at all... No boring photoshoots or suit fitting and invitation selection. "Alright mom. I don't give a d**n" I replied and their faces dropped. Exactly what I was expecting. Logan and I ambled out of the house. ÷

“Move in? As in live there?” Eva nodded even though her friend couldn’t see. “Yeah. The pay’s triple. I’d be stupid to refuse.” “Triple?” Audrey chuckled, then softened. “That’s tempting, girl. But you sure you want to stay under the same roof as that man? He’s chaos in human form..... for you though.” Eva’s lips twitched. “Maybe. But chaos still needs care.” “Fine,” Audrey said, voice warm now. “Just promise me you’ll call if he gets on your nerves—or if he starts flashing that smile of his.”

I can't blame Lian for being friendly, but what I worried about are the people who like him and never wanted anyone to get close to someone like me. "Do you have free time after class?" he asked with his dashing smile. And this is Liam, alright. A friendly among students. He stands tall, charming, and the slim frame of his body that made him look like a young model. "What about it?" I asked in a low voice. "We would like to let you join us, in the arcade," At that moment, his words are astonishing, inviting me out of nowhere, and we're not even close to friends. That's surprising.
