It was 8:30 pm and I was waiting for Joan she called like ten minutes ago saying she was already on her way.

"You sure you want to go to this party?" Vandel asked coming to sit beside me.

"Yea I'm sure, I want to go at least once in my life" I smiled at him and he gave me a small smile.

"If you say so I'm happy you're going out but be careful okay" he said.

He doesn't seem happy about it

"I will, I'll make sure to be aware of my surroundings and if anything suspicious is happening I'll call you immediately to come to pick me" I stated he smiled a little wider then we heard the doorbell ring.

I stood up to answer the door and found Joan on the other side.

"Hey hey! Looking good" she cheered.

"You too" I returned with a smile.

"Before we leave can I get some water, I didn't grab my bottle before leaving" she said and I smiled and pulled her in shaking my head.

"Who's that?" She asked and I looked up to find Vandel in the kitchen probably preparing dinner.

"That's my dad" I said as I entered the kitchen and she followed me.

"G...Good evening sir" she greeted and Vandel looked up and I bright smile spread on his face.

"Hey Joan Hayley has told me lots about you" he said.

"Really?" She asked and turned to me to mouth a thank you.

Thank you.

Grabbing a glass I quickly filled it with water before handing it over to her.

"Are you making dinner?" She asked and he nodded with a smile.

"Hay how about we come home on time so we can have some late dinner your dad prepared?" She asked with a sweet smile.

Something was weird.

"Yea sure" I replied.

"What?" Vandel asked.

"What?" Joan and I replied at the same time confused.

"What did you just say?" He asked.

"We're coming early for dinner?" Joan replied.

"Joan, who am I to Hayley?" He asked.

"Her dad,... what's going on?" She asked confused and Vandel just stared at me.

"Yea Dad we'll try to be back on time" I said shyly looking away.

"Okay baby girl have a good night" he said and I nodded pulling Joan out of the house.

"That was weird" she started.

"What was weird was you seemed you wanted to stay" I said as we entered her car.

"Who wouldn't when you have a hot piece of a dad" she replied.

"What?" I asked confused and shocked.

"You're dad's freaking hot okay!" She kinda yelled and I laughed.

"Oh my God, you like my dad?" I asked.

"I mean yea, he's drool-worthy" she shrugged.

"He has a girlfriend" I replied.

"I don't mind I'm not looking to be your stepmother just looking for a way to get a taste" she almost moaned.

"Drive Joan drive!!" I yelled and she started the vehicle and we started laughing.

I had never seen her like this before.

THEODORE'S POV

"Fill up the crates, it seems we have a good delivery today, but make sure to inspect well" Chris said as I walked into the cellar.

"Yo" I called.

"Theo" he greeted and I walked over to him. Chris was one of my friends in college who was also involved in the mafia, most of my friends were.

"It seems Maxwell kidnapped a subordinate thinking it was a family loaded.

"Father wouldn't want us to risk our lives saving someone of that level" I replied throwing myself into the seat beside him.

"Maxwell seems to be getting out of hand" I groaned.

"We should have killed him at that time" Chris complained and I couldn't agree more.

"I never thought he would pull off something like this" I sighed.

More work

More deaths

"Shouldn't you be on your way to your girl's house" he scoffed and I smiled.

Looking down at my watch I saw it was a few minutes to 9:00 pm.

"This is no time to visit a friend" I smiled.

"Dude we all know you're doing her, it's quite obvious" he said and I smiled shaking my head and leaving.

All my friends believed I befriended Hayley just to have fun and thought I couldn't get enough of it.

But the truth is, I did it because it was thrilling and also because I had a mission.

As I walked towards the garage where different cars from different companies were stacked, going over to the guard in charge I requested for the keys to a black Porsche macan.

I heard footsteps behind me and turned to see my brother Alex.

He ignored my presence and requested for the car of his choice.

"What's up Alex" I asked and he turned to face me before scoffing and walking away.

"I didn't do anything to you!" I yelled after him but he just ignored me and walked away.

I wouldn't lie it hurt, ever since we were kids Alex and I always played together until he turned sixteen and his father asked him to join to the mafia.

After he had refused even with all the threats my father had used my father turned to me, I was fourteen this time and I agreed.

At the moment I felt it would be exciting the money, the blood, the drugs and the guns.

"Alex I'm talking to you" I said going after him and he turned around and sighed.

"What do you want Theo?" He asked.

"Do you plan on ignoring me for the rest of your life?" I asked.

"Yes" he replied.

"That's impossible" I chuckled but he didn't find it funny.

"The thing is if another gang finds out you're a Davis, things could end up bad for us" I smiled and this made him frown.

"You're just like him" he started.

"What?" I asked.

"You're just like Dad all you care about is this stupid mafia!" He yelled.

"That is to be expected, don't tell me you expect me to come run over saving your ass after you plan to ignore me for life" I retorted.

"You're right I shouldn't" he chuckled.

"Yea you shouldn't" I replied walking away.

I wouldn't let him know I missed him and the way he was behaving hurt badly if he were ever kidnapped I would rush over even if it means getting myself killed.

Stupid Alex.
