Trent pulled forcefully on the burning stick trying to calm his mind down to think.

Chase was right about the mess being his and he will be damned if he let the bastard have the last laugh. He was going to save their company no matter what it will cost him.

He will use some of the cash in his trust fund to offset some of the dept. It wasn't much but it is a start.

It took Trent five sticks for him to calm down and have a clear head to actually think.

    " Oh Angel, I have forgotten how amusing you can be. Come on do you really expect me to believe that you are a rug muncher, " Trent said most obnoxiously way, the laughter on his face drying up to something ugly as he glared at her. Evangel bristled at the nickname and his taunting words." Hey, young man that is my daughter you are speaking to, " her dad scolded before Evangel could talk but that didn't stop her from putting Trent's arrogance in his place." You are laughable if you believe that I expect anything from you, " she spat with disdain allowing her eyes to reflect how much she loathed him." If there is anything twelve years ago has thought me is never to expect anything from men. "Trent's arrogant smirk disappeared at her words and he regarded her with intense look in his eyes." Do you want me to believe that you abhor men and is now a lesbian, " he arched his brow at her. " No thanks to you, " Evangel taunted and smirked to herself when she saw a flash of irritation c

"Evangel thought back to high school and how Trent and his friends had beat up a guy because he was gay." Let's say he is a dangerous homophobic. " " How did you know?

    The next day found Evangel sitting at their small kitchen table lost in thought with a cup of coffee in her hand. She was still in her nightwear, a long grey T-shirt that fell just before her knees. The cup was held up with her two hands, one leg up the kitchen chair, a vacant look in her eyes while she stared off the distance. The morning was a little chilly but inside the house was kept by the heater. Evangel troubles thoughts swam around the events of last night.

Clarissa saw the anger and sadness in her best friend's eyes and immediately went to her. " Hey, are you alright? " she asked tenderly as she came to a stop before Evangel. The tight control she was holding onto her emotions was slipping and Evangel didn't want to break down in front of Trent and her cousin.

    Every jaw around the table hit the ground when the two women kissed. The room grew silent as the other three could only gawk like idiots. Evangel had only meant for the kiss to be a chaste one to further sell their relationship but the softness and sweetness of Clarissa's lips were one she never expected. She was shocked and aroused by it and hungered for more. She moaned silently into her lips and deepened the kiss. Clarissa was still in shock. She couldn't believe she was kissing her best friend. Her heart thundered like a war drum in her chest as her lips trailed across Evangel's soft ones. Out of their volition, her hand moved up to Evangel's nape to pull her closer as her eyes fluttered close in excitement.

    The sound of the bell ringing killed the conversation happening in the living room. The four occupants glanced at one another, questions glaring in their eyes. Who was ringing? " Dad, are you expecting anybody else? Maybe her mother from the grave, " Evangel added in her thought still seething from her dad's latest ploy. What is he playing at? Trent was the last man on earth she will ever want to marry. Maybe telling her father what kind of a man Trent is will cure this madness of making him a son-in-law. Steven glared at his daughter not appreciative of her sarcastic tone. " None that I am aware of, " he looked towards the door as if expecting it to give him a clue as to who is outside. " Castro! " he called The older butler magically puffed up at the sound of his master's voice.

    " Breakfast is ready, " Clarissa told Evangel setting down the plate of eggs and bacon on the table and heading off to the fridge to get some juice to go with their breakfast. " Thanks, " Evangel looked up from the laptop towards Clarissa, who stood by the fridge with her apron rooting around inside, and the domesticity of the scene hit her like a slug causing a weird feeling to feel her. What if it was real? Clarissa as her girlfriend, making breakfast for them. A smile appeared on her face at the thought. It wasn't a bad thought. " What is funny? "Evangel jumped at Clarissa's voice then trembled to shake off her smile. " What smile? " she looked innocent but her smile wouldn't stop pulling at her lips. Being with her best friend like this made her happy. Clarissa shook her head at her attempt to play coy even as she was still smiling. " That smile, " she pointed towards Evangel's lips.
