“Trust me, you’ll love it here. All the wealthy dudes come here to hang out.
Oh, I’m so sorry, Mia. You know seeing you in this cute outfit and makeup is so odd. For a moment there I forgot that you are a prude workaholic.” She said mockingly, earning her a disapproving look from me. She only giggled at my expression and she stepped out of the car. I came down as well and she lead the way to the entrance. She pulled out a VIP card from her purse and showed it to the bouncers. We cut through the long queue and we walked right into the club.“Showoff!You could have just said that you have a VIP card.” I mocked making her chuckle even more. I’m going to show this naughty sister of mine that I can be the life of the party as well. I would let her see another side of me tonight, she would finally realize that I am not just a prude workaholic. I can party all night and have mad fun as well. Tonight I’m going to be the party queen.It was a quarter to midnight, and the club was packed full of party animals who adore the nightlife. Carrie led me to the second floor which I’m guessing is reserved for the VIP. It’s crammed as well, but it is more spacious and glamorous than the first floor. Carrie was about to walk to a private booth, but I held her hand and led her to the bar, ignoring her protests. She stopped to speak with a cute blonde lady and she introduced her as Vikki, but I couldn’t care less. I swayed my hips as I walked over to the bar and I ordered some shots of tequila for Carrie and I, but I ended up taking both shots before Carrie could meet up with me.“That’s enough, Mia!You’re drunk already!” If you continue this way, you would not have good fun tonight because I would have to drag you back home and put you to bed,” she scolded.“Now, who is the party pooper?” I asked back with a smirk, earning a hard glare from her.“Quit whining, and find me a nice guy that would take me home tonight and screw me senseless.” I said jokingly, causing her to burst into a fit of laughter.“Dear God, Where is my sister, who the hell is this whore sitting next to me?” she laughed.Seems like the alcohol is bringing out the real you, Mia. Who would have thought that you could go at it all night? ” she kept on teasing me, ignoring my frown of displeasure. The bartender served us more shots of tequila, earning a frown from Carrie who thinks that I’m already drunk. I guess she Is right, I’m so tipsy, I can barely stand on my two feet. It felt like the entire building was spinning around me, and the worst part of it all is that I love this feeling of freedom. I wasn’t thinking about anything or anyone. You could say that I left all my problems and worries at home, all that was left was me and my happy, carefree mood.I downed one more shot of tequila before going to the dance floor, with Carrie following closely behind me, keeping a close eye on me. I danced like never before, I have no idea who I was dancing with, I simply went with the flow. I swayed my body to the music, dancing as if my life depended on it. A strange guy danced with me, he had his hand on my waist and he flirted with me on the dance floor, ramming his budge on my ass as I grind my hips against his. I let him caress me on the dance floor, I was hoping he would be the one, I was hoping I would let him have his way with me, but I wasn’t feeling any connection to this dude. I don’t know what I was expecting to feel, I mean, this is a club for crying out loud. I was not expecting to fall in love right here in the club, I wasn’t expecting love at first sight, but I need to feel the connection. If I’m going to lose my V-Card to this dude, at least I need to be a little bit drawn to the guy, right?I don’t even know what I’m saying, I think I’m developing cold feet again. Carrie is dancing with some dude at the other end of the dance floor and here I am second-guessing myself again. Gosh, I’m so stupid!I need a drink, I need more drinks. I hope I don’t pass out from too much alcohol. I turned around, and the guy I was dancing with a few seconds ago is now dancing with another girl on the dance floor. He is grinding and flirting with her the same way he did with me. The disappointment was evident in my face as I turned to head back to the bar for more drinks. But just before I walked away, I felt a strange feeling on my body, it felt so strange and alien, but at the same time, it brought me a bit of warmth. The hairs on my body alerted me to a pair of eyes watching me from a private booth across the dance floor. I followed my instinct and looked in his direction. Sure enough, he had his eyes pinned on me, and he looked vaguely familiar. But that could be the alcohol speaking, I mean, how on earth would this strange dude look familiar to me? He is quite gorgeous, I must confess. But he has a ton of girls flirting with him in his private booth. He must be one of these socialites or celebrities that tend to party with lots of girls every night. That’s not what I want, I can’t share him with anyone. I need him all to myself.I turned around and walked up to the bar to get a drink. And just as I sat down on the bar stool and ordered my drink, I heard a deep voice from beside me, “That drink is on me?” he told the bartender. His deep voice is an indicator of dominance. He oozes of male testosterone, and as I turned to gaze at him, I was met with an athletic body that made my mouth water in desire. He gazed at me with tender eyes as he sat on the barstool next to me. He was saying something, I could see his mouth moving, but I couldn’t hear one word he was saying because I was ogling his gorgeous body. How the hell did he get here so fast, and why the hell is he talking to me, is he planning to add me to his harem?Not a chance in hell!“I can pay for my own drink, chief,” I responded in an angry tone as I tried so hard to hide my emotions. He smiled at my remarks but he did not attempt to leave.“I know. But that won’t stop me from buying you a drink,” he asserted confidently. I couldn’t respond this time, I just sat there and gazed morosely at his grinning face. I could feel his eyes perusing my body, checking me out. Originally, I would have been offended if a guy stares at me this way. But not tonight, and certainly not with this godlike man that is standing next to me. Do you remember the attraction and pull I was talking about?Well, this is it!I’m so sure that I’m drawn to this guy. I can already imagine his lips on mine, I can see myself wrapped in his muscular arms as he holds me close to his heart. You could tell by his abs and muscles that he spends a lot of time in the gym. I couldn’t help checking him out as well, my eyes lingered a bit when I got to his waist. I gulped down saliva when I sighted the bulge between his legs. I didn’t know was salivating until he snapped his fingers in front of my face, bringing me back to reality. I shook my head to get those dirty thoughts off, but I couldn’t shack them off no matter how hard I tried. “W… What do you want, and who the hell are you?” I asked him angrily. I was trying to mask my desire with anger, but I failed miserably. The crooked smile on his face is enough evidence to prove that he knows exactly what I’m trying to do.“I’m Drake, and I wish to keep you company, that is if you’re cool with it.” He extended his hand to me, grinning sheepishly as he did. I stared at his extended hand for a second before reaching out my hand to meet his.“Nice to meet you, Drake, I’m Sofia.” I responded with a smile as my hand met his. Suddenly, the world stood still, he brought his other hand forward and enveloped mine, eliciting new desires in me. I don’t know why I lied about my name, I guess I don’t want to be recognized by him after tonight. I saw a flicker of emotion on his face when I mentioned my name, but before I could see it clearly, it disappeared completely. All I could see in his eyes were the same emotions that I was feeling within me. His palm is so soft, so warm. I couldn’t pull my hand away from his because the feeling of our skin touching each other is just heavenly. He pulled back his hand and motioned for the barman to get him a glass of bourbon. Amusement seemed to be written all over his face as I whimpered at the loss of contact. Then he asked,“What would a pretty damsel like you be doing here tonight?”I scoffed at his flattering comment. He makes it sound like I'm one special girl, I’m sure he uses these same lines with his other female companions. I’m sure that he won’t even remember this conversation tomorrow. Guys like this only pretend to be interested in a girl just to get into her pants. It’s exactly what I want as well, I can feel the current flowing between us. The sparks were present, as well as the attraction and deep desire. I want him, I want to lose my V-card to this gorgeous stranger. So I’m not going to pretend or act like a goody two shoes In front of him, after all, we would never cross paths after tonight.“Well, I’m just here to have fun… And get laid.” I let out seductively. I watched the color drain from his face as I flashed him my most seductive smile. I have never flirted with a guy before, and I seriously hope that I don’t look like an idiot right now.He raised his brow in amusement, and he gulped down his drink as he stared at me. I can practically see his eyes dancing with laughter and I wondered if I’m doing it wrongly, or maybe he thinks that I am speaking under the influence of alcohol. I admit, I am. I wouldn’t be this bold if I wasn’t drunk. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t know what I am doing. I decided to show that I am not as drunk as he think. I stood up, with my eyes fixed on his. I took the glass from his hand and I placed it on the bar table. “Dance with me Drake,” I whispered in a voice laced with seduction. I held his hand and pulled him to the dance floor, I never broke eye contact with him. I wanted him to feel what I’m feeling too, and so I danced with this guy, the same way I danced with the other guy, but this time, it was different. As I grind and roll my hips against him, I felt something different. I felt a tingling sensation all over my body, it felt like a fire burning within me. A fire that only this gorgeous stranger could put out. These feelings are alien to me, I never felt this way, even with Riley.For a moment he held back from touching me on the dance floor, but I can feel his burning gaze on my body. It was as if he has something else on his mind or something. I did not let him kill my vibe, I kept grinding my waist against his bulge which was getting harder by the second. After a few minutes, I felt his warm, soft hands on my hip and I felt an electrifying thrill that radiated from my fingertips to my spine. Then it moved down below, settling between my legs. I felt the liquids pooling between my legs, I had to squeeze my legs together to curb my wild desires. His arms encircled me, and he gently pulled me to him, forcing me to look into his eyes. He stared intensely at me, pulling my hair away from my face to give him a good view. Our dance became more intense, more sexier. I had my arms around his neck, and I felt his dick pulsing with life as it jabbed against my stomach. I’m drunk, way too drunk, but there is no denying what I’m feeling right now and I know that I want this guy to screw me. He was flirting with me while we danced. He dropped butterfly kisses on my neck and shoulders. I moaned softly and my whole body shivered in desire. His eyes kept gazing into mine, drowning me in their blue depths. My hand involuntarily flew to his cheeks as I caressed him softly, pulling my hand through his soft locks. He shut his eyes firmly, then tilted his head sideways, offering me more of his cheeks, and I gladly accept it. I ran my hand on his cheeks, moving them down slowly. I heard a throaty groan when I got to his chest and his eyes snapped open immediately and I saw a burning desire within his deep blue pools. A desire that matches mine. Without warning, he leaned forward and kisses me fiercely. I wasn’t expecting that, and I wasn’t prepared for the intensity of his kiss, I’d never been kissed like this before, except for that night when I stupidly lost my way and ended up in a guy's bed. It’s a good thing that Riley had cheated, I don’t know how I would have told him about my escapades with that guy. It would have been so embarrassing.It took me a while to adjust to his pace and match his kisses with mine. I kissed him as fervently as he kissed me and we got lost in the moment. We stopped dancing completely as we made out like two horny teenagers on the dance floor. There is something about him that made me feel like I could trust him. It could be his body spray that is exactly the same as Riley’s or maybe it’s the fact that he arouses a deep desire in me. I just could get my hands off him, I could get enough. We continued kissing and caressing each other on the dance floor and we would have gladly kept going at it, but we got distracted by a throaty cough from someone standing right next to us. We stopped immediately, and we both chuckled at our uncontrollable desires. I looked up at the intruder and I saw Carrie standing in front of us with a smirk on her face.“Get a room already, you two. I didn’t come to the club to watch an adult-only movie!” She teased, feigning anger.“Get the hell out of here.” I shushed her away, but she just wouldn’t leave without embarrassing the life out of me.“Don’t come back pregnant!” she warned me in a whisper as she slipped some condoms into my hand, making my cheeks go red with embarrassment. I’m going to kill this girl!I swore under my breath as she went away giggling at my expense. I looked up at Drake and he had that amused smile on his face. It’s obvious that he had heard everything and now I’m so embarrassed that I couldn’t look up at his face anymore. I wish the ground would open up and swallow me. How on earth is this girl my sister?Drakes POVI almost laughed out loud when she introduced herself as Sofia. To think that this girl is going to be my wife tomorrow… It’s just so hilarious!When I saw her walk in through the entrance, I knew something was off. Then I saw her gulp down some shots of tequila as if it was just water. I don’t need to be an expert in clubbing to know that she is as drunk as they come. Her short red dress reveals the pale swell of her breasts. She has the kind of beauty that men go to war over; Glowing skin, an hourglass figure, and a flawless face baked with so much makeup that simply complimented her beauty. She is absolutely beautiful, so damn perfect.I just want to tear off that gown and worship that smooth and sexy skin with my lips. I was to hold her up on the wall and bury my already hardened dick deep inside her. I felt my loins tightening and my heart beat increasing as she kept leaning on the bar table, giving me a full view of her breasts.I watched her flirt with some guys on th
Mia’s POV“Look, Sofia… You don’t want to do this, you need to…”“I’m burning hot, Drake... Just shut up and fuck me already.” I scolded angrily when he tried to reason with me again. We have just gotten into a very luxurious suite, I wasn’t expecting such luxury in this club. Carrie had mentioned it earlier, but I thought it would be one of those regular rooms with just a bed and a noisy ceiling fan dangling from the roof. I never expected such a comfy suite. The universe must be in agreement with me, this is just perfect. “You are going to regret this in the morning, Sofia. Trust me.” He added in a calm, pleading tone, trying desperately to get me to change my mind. I looked up at him, looking into his eyes, smirking. He is so handsome, so perfect. I’m offering him my body on a platter of gold, yet he is turning me down. He must either be a saint or an angel and even if this is supposed to be a one-time thing, I’m never going to forget about him. I would memorize his face and cheri
Mia's POV People have believed in the legend that wishing upon a shooting star makes the wish come true for a long time. I never believed in such myths, I never believed in any myths at all. I never even wished upon a shooting star, I just said a few words in my heart. I only said the wishing words in my heart, I never said it out loud and I never wished on a shooting star. How on earth can this be happening to me?They say drinking to excess can cause you to fall asleep more easily or even to black out. That is exactly what happened to me. The sex and alcohol were like sedatives to me, I fell asleep like a baby, relishing the warmth he provided, and I kept wishing to be in his arms forever. I only woke up when my bladder signaled to my brain that I need to pee. I tried getting off the bed to run to the restroom and ease my discomfort, but I was held in a firm grip by a gorgeous stranger that made my first time a memorable one. His grip on me was firm, and I can’t say that I didn’t
Still Mia's POV“W… W… What are you doing here?” I stuttered. But he just smiled and walked towards us, then he leaned forward and whispered in my ear, “Hello… Sofia. Why did you have to leave so earlyI missed you,” He let out teasingly. My face took on a deep blush as I tried to look away from him, but he wouldn’t let me. He pinned my gaze, his arms went around my waist and he pulled me closer. I should be scared right now…I have no idea what is going on, I don’t know what he is doing here in the Osborne’s mansion. I should be freaking out, I’m supposed to be nervous because my secret affair is about to be exposed. Surprisingly, though, I do not feel any of these things. I feel my blood rushing through my veins, and felt my heart beating like never before. It felt so good to be in his arms again. I did not realize how much I missed him until now. I was lost in his gaze, I couldn’t take my eyes away from him, I didn’t even want to. Being back in his arms felt like being back home
Drake’s POV“You look so beautiful tonight, and you smell delicious too,” I whispered in her ear, snuggling closer to her, on the couch. I chuckled when she elbowed me and shrugged me off, then she moved to the other end of the couch, putting some distance between us. The documents have been signed and the dinner was concluded peacefully. Everything was quiet after Riley left, dad apologized to the Remingtons, and he insisted that the dinner proceeds as planned. And after dinner, the entire family moved to the sitting room where we say in different positions, conversing amongst ourselves, and bonding like a family like my dad always demanded. I have been trying to get her to loosen up, a while ago, I succeeded in getting her to calm down. I got her to think about the time we spent together last night, the pleasures and comfort that we brought each other. I pleasured her right there in the dining room, and she fell for it. She was all mine again, I could see the rapid rise and fall o
Still Drake’s POV“You bastard!How could you play me for a fool?” she yelled angrily as she hit me repeatedly with her soft, gentle palm. She looks furious, and I know hitting me is her way of venting her anger. It feels weird because I don’t feel any pain, on the contrary, her hands are so soft and warm. And when she touches me with her gentle palm, I feel a jolt of electric current flow all over my body. I wouldn’t have stopped her if we were alone at home. But her actions attracted the attention of a few guards and maids hanging around the premises. I held her hand to stop her from hitting me, and I glared furiously at her,“Hit me one more time, and I swear, I’ll make you regret it.” l warned her sternly. From the nervous look on her face, I could tell that she is a bit frightened by my reaction. I didn’t mean to get her agitated, but I had to be strict with her so the others won’t dare to challenge my authority.“Get the hell out of here, I need a few minutes with my wife,” I ord
Carey’s POV“Please, don’t hurt me, I can’t bear it, I can’t…I will never see Drake again, I will never say a word to anyone. Please don’t hit me,” I pleaded hysterically. But he wasn’t paying attention to my pleas, I could as well be talking to a statue because he acted oblivious to my pleadings. He only smirked as he walked closer to me. I tried to take a few steps back, but he grabbed me and forced me to look into his devilish eyes, “I never said anything to him, I promise. Drake was just being curious, he was only looking out for me,Wait,Please stopWhat the hell are you doing, you have no right to order me around, you can’t do this to me.What the hell is this, what did I ever do to you, why are you doing this to me?Wait, stop what are you doing?I never said w word to him, I swear it, I promise, please stop” I continued pleading hysterically. He pulled me down onto his lap, controlling me so I was laying across his thighs. I could feel his rock-hard dick as it touches my sto
Drake’s POVI’ll kill her…I’ll fucking kill her!Yes, you guessed right, I’m referring to Mia Remington. God, she is so stubborn. I thought we were off to a good start, I thought we were beginning to understand ourselves. When I told her we would have a conversation when we got home, she didn’t say a word to me, and I assumed that she is starting to accept me as her husband.Who would have thought that Mia had other plans?She didn’t say a word to me, I mean, not one word. When we got home, I instructed the maids to whip up a light dinner for her. I noticed she didn’t eat much during dinner because of the whole drama tonight. I didn’t want her to go to bed hungry and I need her to feel well-relaxed before I bring up the subject of our marriage.The maids informed me that a few of her stuff was delivered to the house while we were away. I guess her parents wanted her to get comfy in my house. I made mental note to thank them for their understanding later, and I led her to the dining wh
Still Drakes POV“I'm so sorry, Drake. I was right there with you and I couldn’t save your woman. I failed you, and I failed Mia. Riley is a bastard, if he were still alive, I would have killed him myself. I’m glad he is dead, he is a fucking monster!You can’t blame yourself for this, Drake, it’s not your fault and it’s not her fault as well.” Liam let out sadly, trying to cheer me up.“I know it’s hard to believe that you just lost a child, but look on the bright side. Your wife is okay, and your brother will never hurt her again because you took care of him already. She is going to wake up in a few hours, and she is going to be okay, I promise. I was a bit busy when you walked in, that is why I couldn’t attend to her myself. You can relax your mind, Mr. Osborne, I’m going to take care of her, I’ll make sure she is okay, that is a promise.” Doctor Larry assured me. I could see her lying peacefully on the bed while the nurses cleaned her up. I can’t call her parents yet, I’m too asha
Still Drakes POV“You are Mine, you bitch!” he let out harshly as he kept hitting her across the face. After a little while, he reached into his pants pocket and pulled out a towel and he placed it on her nose, forcing her to breathe on it. I’m guessing that it is soaked in chloroform, and he wants her to pass out so he can rape her, just like he did with the other girls that Casey spoke to me about. “Riley!Please, stop!Please…” she cried miserably. He ignored her and he kept pressing the towel to her nose while his other hand skillfully worked on her button, trying to take off her cloth. I don’t know why my guards are taking too long, but I know I have to do something right now, or in going to regret this for the rest of my life. I gazed around me, and I saw my guys being held down just like me. Liam and I had the most guys, we had four guys on each person, and they were so rough and mean. But I know I can break free from them easily, I just need little assistance in taking them ou
Still Drakes POV“Kill me, Drake!You can hurt me if you chose to, lock me up and kill me if that would make us even. But leave them out of these, they are just my business partners, and they have no business with you. Let them go, Drake!I could get the Russian government involved in this, I could use you for assaulting my foreign business partners, and you could go to jail, Drake. Let them go and I promise…”“Oh, Really?Do you mind telling me what kind of business partners they are to you?Like, seriously, I want to know why you are pleading for their lives when you have never done anything like this for your family. Are your business partners more important than your family?” I asked him mockingly, earning me a hard look from him. His girlfriend was standing behind him, tapping on her phone. I guess she is trying to reach someone, or maybe she is trying to call the captains and confirm if they are truly in danger. I guess she doesn’t want to believe that her coalition with them is
Riley’s POV“Get the fuck out of here, Riley, and stay the hell out!I don’t want to deal with your silly ass today, I ain’t got time for shit!” he yelled in my face, making me snicker in disgust. I got reliable information from a trusted source. I was informed that Austin Foster is in Drake's custody, and I’ve been asked to take him out as soon as possible. He is a threat to everything we have worked so hard to achieve, so he has to go. I’ve been trying to force Drake to fight back, I wanted to see how far he would go, I want to see if he would hurt his own brother. I know he would never treat me like he treats his other enemies. But I want to know the length he can go to hurt me, and that is why I’m daring him to fight back. The last time I’d dared him this way, I ended up in jail for a while, and then I was out again. If throwing me in jail is the worst my Mafia brother can do to me, then it’s safe to say that I own this city. I can do whatever I like in this city and he would not
Still Drakes POV“Loretta fooled me into thinking that she loves me. She came up with this perfect plan to steal from her bias and elope together. I fell for her tricks and her lies, I never knew she is such a terrible person, I never knew she could turn around and betray me. We had so much in common, and I was so stupid to think that it is true love. But now I know better, she never loved me and she would never love anyone in this lifetime because her heart is filled with greed and evil. If you want to get to the Bratva insurgencies and your brother as well, I would suggest you seize her and force her to spill everything she knows about them.” Justin told me firmly, then he handed me a briefcase that contains all the information he just shared with me, and even more than that.“Loretta stole these files when she used to work for Austin Foster. The plan was to get everything we could lay our hands on, then when we are safely out of this city, we would use the information on these file
Drakes POVHe has been daring me since Austin left this city. I guys the rumor is true after all. My own brother Riley is now a pawn to some freaking Russians who only wish to kill use him and then kill him. He abandoned our family just to become a puppet to these bastards.Wait, what the hell am I even saying?He did not abandon our family, if he did, then he wouldn’t be trying so hard to destroy everything our parents have worked so hard to achieve all their lives. His determination to ruin this family is so great, if I were one of his bosses, I would give him an award for being so tenacious. I get the reports of his attacks every fucking day. He keeps killing my boys, sending me a message that I don’t even understand. My boys are so fucking pissed off by his actions, they keep watering me to give them the order to take him out, but for some weird reason, I can’t seem to do that. I don’t think I can ever give them that order, I can’t even begin to imagine it. He may be an idiot, but
Loretta’s POVJustin left me…He set me up and ran off with all the money we were able to gather after Austin was deported to Russia to face justice in his homeland. He tricked me into believing that we are in this deal together, I never thought I could be outsmarted by a guy, I never even thought that Justin would ever betray me, I never saw him as a guy that could hurt a fly, I thought I could use him, but he ended up using me, and then he set me up with the Bratva insurgency, the same guys that dealt with Austin Foster and forced him to flee out of the city.The last time I had a decent conversation with him was when I told him about my sexual attraction to Drake Osborne. I indicated my interest in Drake, and I told him I wanted to get him to screw me, but he had been so pissed about it. I could vividly recall his exact words to me when I first mentioned it to him. He was like,“Now you’re making me angry and jealous, Rett. Why would fall you for another guy when you have me all to
Still Mia’s POV“I’m not sitting around for you to do everything for me, Drake. I’m bored and I’m so fucking tired of sitting around the house, doing nothing. I need this contract, you know what this contract means to me and my family. I don’t know what I’ll do if the contracts are not awarded to us. I need to be there, I need to be sure that I did everything possible to get that contract, please Drake, just take me with you. I promise, I won’t do anything stupid, I won’t do anything to ruin your hard work, I’ll be good, I’ll be reasonable, I promise.” I kept pleading with Drake as he sat in the dining, having his dinner. Charles, Casey, and their kids were sitting around the dining table as well, but I couldn’t care less. I just want to leave this house and I want to resume work. I’m sure they understand my frustration, they know how long I’ve been enduring this boredom and they sympathize with me as well. But Drake doesn’t seem to care about my feelings. Sometimes I feel he is still
Mia’s POV“I told you to sit back and let me hand this contract, Mia. I got it under control, I can get you that contract, I promise you. I’ve gotten past the initial stage and I’m confident that my pitch is too great to be dismissed. You can stay back and let me get you this contract, then after I secure your contract, you can resume at your new office building.” Drake implored, trying so hard to convince me to stay back at home and rest.It’s been five months since I had that terrible encounter with Riley and his whore Loretta. Drake has been by my side all this while, and I’m so glad that was able to heal faster than anyone expects. The doctor had been so amazing to me and my family. When he saw that I was ready for the surgery, he didn’t wait for Drake's permission before he could take me into the theater. He carried out my surgery, even before my husband could sight the consent papers. He took a great risk, just to save my life. Drake said he is being so nice to us because he want
