In an attempt to make myself look more normal, I tried to put wrinkles into my shirt. Wilson raised an eyebrow but didn't say anything as he took my hand and led me into the building.The air was chilly inside and smelled like motor oil and tires. I wrinkled my nose as Wilson began to talk to the person working the counter. He gestured to a pair of computers and Wilson told me to fill at the form. Once again, I felt nervous. Why did we have to fill out a waiver?"You're not going to die," he commented, noticing my hesitation."I don't think I'm going to.""Your face is whiter than the moon.""The moon is actually grey" I informed him.He stared at me for a moment before shaking his head. "Forget it. You'll be fine. Let's go watch the safety video. Pay close attention so you don't die."The safety video was approximately five minutes long and full of unprofessional actors. However, the standard practice to use a go-kart was simple. It was safer than I imagined it to be. After watching
Wilson's POVIn my head, I'd imagined my reunion with Brandon to be slightly teary and very heartwarming. Of course I should of known, since it was Brandon, it would be the opposite."Brandon!" I cried as he lunged at Georgia with outstretched hands.I was too far away to stop him, but Georgia quickly caught Brandon's arms, twisting them and holding them in place behind Brandon's back. For a moment I was too shocked by his reaction to move- Georgia hadn't seemed the type to know how to protect herself- but then I moved forward to grab Brandon's shoulders and pull him away from Georgia before he could do any real harm."So you're the one huh," Brandon said lowly, eyeing Georgia up and down slowly.Georgia looked understandably confused. "Sorry?""Brandon, don't even start," I said warily."No way! No guy is living with my little sister without my permission," Brandon said, cracking his knuckles intimidatingly.Solene snorted from behind us, earning her a dirty look from my brother. "And
At one point I would've been able to break free from him, but that was before he went to prison and became Biceposaurus. "I think I liked you better when you were in jail."Arian burst out laughing and Brandon finally released me, attempting to snatch him into his death grasp. Letting out a little scream, she ducked under the counter to get to the safety of the other side. "You can't come back here! Employees only!""I could meet you in the back room," Brandon said with a wink.I pretended to throw up.Solene walked over to me as Arian began to throw coffee beans at my brother. I grimaced at her, feeling like I should apologize. "Sorry about him.""You two seem to get along well.""Really? It seems that way to you?""Well, you look like you're having fun."Brushing my hair behind my ear, I grinned a little bit. "Yeah. It's nice to have him back. Even if he's annoying. How long have you been here, anyway? Did you come here for something?""Can't I come to a coffee shop for coffee?"My
Georgia's POV"Ms. Calloway?"My eyes snapped to Henry, who was standing in front of my desk, holding a manila folder in his hands. I hadn't heard him walk in. Straightening in my seat, I cleared my throat. "What?""Are you feeling okay? You didn't answer when I knocked, so I came in."Sighing, I rubbed a hand across my forehead. He probably thought I'd fallen asleep again. "I'm thinking.""Ah, I'll just leave this here then. It's just the information regarding the licenses for the hotel in Wailea. We've hired a Webmaster for the creation of the website.""Thank you."He nodded. "Then, I'll be going."Before he could walk out the door, I spoke up. "Can I ask you a question? Not as your boss, but as a friend?"His expression brightened. "Of course!""Let's say you know this guy and for some reason he is staying with you and it's been going great, but something came up where he wants to move out, but you don't want him to leave... how do you get him to stay?"Henry blinked at me. "Are yo
My mother stood rigid, her shoulders heaving, not moving a step. I felt like I was going crazy. I'd never been this mad before. My pulse felt like it'd never settle and my vision was getting blurry. There was no way I was settling this in a mature manner right now. If I stayed, I'd only say worse things. I had to get out of the office and away from my mother.Standing up from my desk, I snatched my keys off the holder and did my best to calmly walk to the door."If you speak to me like this again, I won't let it go," my mother said as I passed her. I didn't even try to keep myself from slamming door as I exited. Henry was waiting outside, his face pale. I tossed him my keys. "Please drive me home.""Of course," he said immediately, easily catching my keys.Henry didn't say a word the whole drive to my place. I appreciated it. I'd only calmed down slightly and reliving it wouldn't help at the moment. Usually I could take whatever my mother said-I was used to it. But when it came to Wi
Wilson's POV"The house is ready for you to move into," were Solene's cheerful words as she arrived at Georgia's house on Saturday afternoon.I checked the date on my phone. It was only August 1st. "Really? Already?""I told them it was urgent. Everything checked out okay." he told me, sliding around me to enter the house. "And it's faster when you pay cash up front. Is Georgia here?"I shook my head. "No, he went out somewhere with Henry this morning.""Well, it's best that he isn't here for this.""Haha, yeah." I rubbed the back of my neck, feeling slightly guilty.Georgia really didn't want me to move out and it felt kind of wrong planning it behind her back, but she knew it was coming. If she was here she could probably guilt me into staying. I wasn't sure if I was strong enough to turn her down. But I did know that Brandon and I needed our own space."We're here too!" another voice chirped and I looked out the door to see Arian rushing up the steps with my brother in tow."Hİ,"
Georgia's POV"Georgia, your mother is calling," Henry said, looking at the caller I.D on the touch screern as the sound of his ringtone came through the speakers."Should I answer?"I shrugged. We were on our way back from a board meeting, so she was probably calling to check up on things."Just pretend I'm not with you." Henry hit the answer button on his steering wheel. "Henry speaking.""Where is Georgia?"Henry and I exchanged surprised glances at the shrillness of her voice. It was the tone of one pissed off mother. I shook my head furiously as Henry's eyes widened in fear. "She's not with me," he squeaked out."Find her," she ordered in a shaky voice. "Find her and bring him to me. Now. And in the mean time, head to her house and drag out that tramp that lives there!""Hey," Henry started to protest.I reached over to the steering wheel and slammed the end button multiple times, causing Henry to lose control of the car momentarily. "Bring me to my house," I said, my voice calm
There was no way. If Wilson could barely afford his rent, he wouldn't be able to afford Richard's services for his brother."Richard is her lawyer too?" Brandon laughed. "No wonder she looked so scared. She probably knew me because of him and didn't want to hear how shitty he is. He would've lost my case had I kept him."If there was one thing Richard wasn't, it was shitty. He was the best lawyer around. He could win any case. There was no way he'd come close to losing one. I looked at Solene, but I could tell he was already thinking further ahead than I was. It was the lawyer in him. He must've realized something was fishy.But what could it be? Did my mother even know Richard worked for Brandon? Or was it just a coincidence? It was hard to believe though. Where would Brandon and Wilson get the money for it? It didn't seem possible."There's something weird here," Solene said, reading my thoughts."I set up a meeting with Richard to ask him about it.""I'll come with you...""I'll do
