Chapter 9

Val's POV

Come boy's dinners ready, says Nanna. Nanna what is… we walk out and see Meg cooking. She looks so natural. She looks beautiful. We just stood there staring at her. Does anyone want cheese? No one says a word. Who wants cheese? She looks over and nobody speaks. I'll have cheese kiddo. Ok Nanna. Did you get everything you need? Yes, Nanna , go ahead and set down. Hey I got beer, says Levi. He goes to set the beer on the porch. Don't you dare set that there. Didn't your momma teach you any better? You either put beer in a cooler or in the fridge. Plane and simple. Said Meg as she scolded him. His face turns red. Now go put the beer in the fridge and please bring two back. Levi stares at her and runs into the house. No one says a word. He comes back out and hands me a beer. Thank you sweetheart. Now go flip those burgers. He goes over and flips them. She opens her and hands one to Nanna. Cheers Nanna! Cheers kiddo! And they drink. I know Nanna and I are hot , but quite staring and join us, she says. They all look at me . I shrug and walk over. Hey sweetheart I say to Levi as he turns around red faced. Yeah boss? Get me a beer. Oh stop embarrassing the poor guy. What's your name? Levi. It's nice to meet you. It's nice to meet you too. He turns back around and keeps cooking. She gets up to help him. There ya go. So who wants cheese? About 10 people say yes. They finish the food and place it on the table. She sits down beside Nanna. Everyone digs in. I hear moans and grunts. This is really good. Says Levi. Thank you, she says ! She smiles and continues eating. She looks at me. I haven't touched my food. I've been wondering why she's done this. Is she like every other woman trying to get rich? What's her deal? She looks like she didn't want to ask, then she does. Val are you going to eat? I glare at her. What's this dinner for? I ask. Nothing! I wanted to cook dinner. Bullshit! What do you want? Nothing Val, I wanted to make dinner. Bullshit, what do you want? Oh that's right, money just like every other w***e in this world. I throw money at her face. Get the f**k outta my face. What the hell.. You know what f**k you ass hole. She gets up and leaves. Everyone stares at me. I look at Nanna who's glaring diggers. I gulp Nannas sweet but don't piss her off. I clear my throat and walk into the house. I hear a door slam. I walk to my office. I open the door. It's a simple office with white walls, a wooden desk, green cabinet, an arch window and a bookshelf on both sides. Two leather chairs set in front of my desk. A red rug covers the wooden floor. A small table with brandy and two glasses sits beside the bookshelf to the right. I walk over and pour myself a glass. I start working and about an hour later there's a knock at the door. Come in. Nanna opens the door holding my plate from earlier. She walks in and places it in front of me. Eat! She demands and walks out. s**t I really pissed Nanna off. I take a bite of food. Omg this is so good! Mmm.. Especially this pasta salad. I finish eating and set my plate to the side and start working again. I get lost in work losing track of time. I hear a knock and Vinny comes in. He sits in one of the chairs in front of my desk. What do you need? Well brother to brother. What the hell was that about? What? You accused Meg of everything Bethany did to you. Don't bring her up I growl. I wouldn't but what you did to Meg is what you should have done to Bethany. All Meg did was make dinner. Why did you bring her here in the first place? You never do that! Plus she's not been here one day and it's like you're a married couple. Shut the f**k up Vinny. You know I'm right. You know she hasn't come back right? What I look up worried, but then shake it off. Why should I care? I don't know, maybe because she did something to your cold ass heart. I haven't seen you smile in years. Then she shows up last night and bickers with you. You bring her here and let her sleep in your bed. Offer to take her to look around. Then she makes dinner and she becomes Bethany. First the only reason she came is because she needs money for that kid's surgery. I need info on her ex-husband and I had work here so it made it easier to bring her here. That may be true, but why did you allow her to join you in your office on the plane and then carry her to your bedroom? I look away, unable to answer because I have no idea why. First she completed my book collection and described what she thought. Then we bickered because she laughed about kicking his ass. Then I had him killed. My gange and I don't put up with men harassing women. Then she loved my car. Got on the plane and she figured out what was wrong instantly. Then she had a horrible nightmare. I couldn't bear it. Then we woke up together and had a playful fight. I showed her around the house then Frank showed up. I kissed her cheek and she left. Frank told me the weapons and Ammo sent to Africa got lost. So I was dealing with that. Which pissed me off. Then we finished our tour and were sitting on the bench when my Uncle Falcon, who is for better words, pissed because my father married his first love, my mother.
