“Is there a reason you came up behind my friends and me?” Scarlett asked Mr. Suit.
“There is always a reason if I come up behind someone.” He replied
“So, what would be your reason for coming up behind us?” Scarlett challenged
“Well, I would say I came to admire the view of your backside. Plus, I want to tell you-you to have a date with me tomorrow night at 7 pm.” He said with a smirk on his face.
“Oh really, you think I would go out with you?” Scarlett replied with a smirk of her own.
“I wasn’t asking if you would. I was telling you that you were going to.” He replied.
She gave him a look with a shock expression on her face. While he stood there with a big smile on his face because he knew he won.
“My name is Enzo, and this is my club you are in,” Enzo stated
“Enzo is it. I think I will just call you Mr. Suit and be done with this conversation. I don’t take kindly to men you think they can just say we have a date and that be that. So, I think you need to find someone else to throw that line on.” Scarlett said as she turned around back to the bar.
Enzo stood there with a smile on his face and though she has spunk and he will go out on a date with her tomorrow, she doesn’t know it, yet he thought as he walked away from his target.
He wasn’t sure why his client wanted her, but he was being paid big and would get all the information out of her and then hand her and the information over to his client. He was just going to have a little fun with her first.
“The nerve of that guy. Thinking I would go out with him since he owns the club. That doesn’t impress me. Plus, his attitude sucks.” Scarlett ranted to her friends.
“Admit Scarlett he was boiling and so was his friends.” Leah pointed out.
“Yeah, he had looks, and that seems to be it. There didn’t seem to be anything beyond that.” Scarlett protested
“Oh, come on Scarlett. You haven’t been out with anyone since your mom died and neither have we. It’s time for all of us to get back out there so we all can move on with our lives. You know that better than any of us.” Brooklyn tried to be the reasonable one here this time.
“I know. It doesn’t have to be Mr. Suit there for me to go out and try to live like a mom would have wanted and how she wanted us all to live and stay together. We have only done have of what she wanted for all of us.” Scarlett said with a far off look on her face.
Enzo just stood in the far corner watching and wondering about the girl he told he would pick her up and 7 pm for their date. He normally doesn’t do dates, but he had a job to do and he needed to remember that. He couldn’t afford to get attached to this little thing that had his whole body on fire with just one look. He couldn’t figure it out. He knew he would have to be careful with this one. Then he goes to his office to make a phone call, but not without one last look back at her.
The girls get up and leave to head home. None of them see the man that is following them and watching every move. Then he turns around and walks into the bar and right up to Rocco. Rocco turns and just glares at the man for even coming up next to him. The man takes a small step back and then looks up at Rocco before he speaks.
“I’m here to speak with Enzo.” The little man said
“Do you have an appointment?” Rocco replied
“No, but my boss sent me to talk with him. So, it would be in your best interest if you go get him.” The little man said with a sneer on his face.
“Look dude you’re in our club. We do things here our way. So, go take a seat and he will be here when he gets here.” Rocco said as he took a step forward
Rocco went over to where Luka was standing and made a phone call to Enzo. He picked up on the first ring. “What it is?” Enzo gruff “He’s here.” Rocco announced as he hung up the phone. Enzo just walks out of his office and over to the guy who has been waiting a while to talk with him. He looks at him and stares at the dirtbag seating in his club as he owns it. “What do you want now? I’m a busy man.” Enzo sneered “You know I came to get the report on what we hired you to do. He doesn’t want this taking forever. So, get a move on with whatever you have planned and do it now. Don’t make me come here and cause a disruption.” Thug man said as he slid out of his seat and headed for the door.
Enzo picks up the empty glass and throws it up against the wall. He looked at his men. “We need to find out why they want her so bad and see if it will benefit us because these guys are rubbing me the wrong way.” Announced as he paced the club. “How would you like us to do that Enzo? This guy hides and his goons run around like a chicken with their heads cut off.” Luka said as he walked toward Enzo. “I guess you follow one of his goons and we get others to keep an eye on the girls. For now, we will play along till we know the truth of what’s going on here in our city.” he slammed down the glass of whiskey as he told the boys what needs to happen. They all knew too well that something just wasn’t right about all of this, just wasn’t sure what was going on, but they would soon.
Rocco and Luka took off to find one thug to follow. Enzo went to get ready for his date. He couldn’t wait to see her face when he showed up to pick her up and take her to a nice restaurant. It would be priceless he thought.
Scarlett was just trying to figure out what she wanted to do tonight when there came a knock at the door. She wondered who could be at the door; the girls went out cause she didn’t feel enjoy going out tonight. When she went to the door, it shocked her to see who was standing at her door.
“What are you doing here Mr. Suit?” Scarlett asked as she stood in the doorway.
“I came for our date just like I told you. Is that what you are wearing for our date.” Mr. Suit was saying as he pushed his way into Scarlett’s apartment.
“I told you I would not go out with you, so you can leave.” Scarlett pointed to the door
“I will leave when you get your ass dressed so we can go eat and have a few drinks.” He was saying as he sat down on the couch.
“Fine, I will go get dressed just because I want food and I don’t want to cook. So, give me ten minutes and I will be ready.” she was saying as she walked into her bedroom.
She was wondering what she would wear and should she think of this as a date or not. She was thinking this was a big mistake, that she shouldn’t be doing this. She found a nice casual dress, but it was still sexy. She finished it all up with just a little makeup and went out to join him. He stood up when she walked out of her room.
“I take it you are ready to go now?” He said with a smile
“Yeah, I guess I can grace you with my presence for a little while,” Scarlett replied with a smirk.
They walked to the door to head to dinner and a few drinks. When they reached his car, it shocked her to see that he was driving a Koenigsegg CCXR Trevita.
“This is your car?” Scarlett looked at him and asked him
“Yes, why do you ask?” he looked surprised that she asked about his car.
“This is like the second most expensive car around. Plus, being one of my favorites. I can’t believe you have this good of taste in cars.” She said with a smile.
“Was that a compliment coming from you? Thank you, I think.” He replied with a smile
“Yes, it’s best you take it that way. It may not come again.” she laughed as she
waited for him to open the car door.
He let her in the car then walked around to get into the car to take her out to show her a good time and to see what he could find out from her. He needed to find out what she had to do with the guy that thinks he can muscle his way into his city. If he has to, he will turn the tables and take whatever this guy is after for himself. He backed out of the parking space and headed for the Tasting Counter. It was a good thing he has a standing reservation because it’s a long wait to get in otherwise.
“So, why do you call me Mr. Suit?” He looked over at her when he asked her that question.
“When I first saw you at the club, the night you helped my cousin you were wearing an expensive suit. So, that’s what I called you. Plus, I don’t know your name.” Scarlett was saying as she looked out the window. He got a big smile across his face and wasn’t sure how to respond to what she said.
“That is interesting, but I have a name. My name is Enzo. So, now you can use my name instead of calling me Mr. Suit.” He smiled over at her
“Enzo is it. I still think I will call you Mr. Suit. I think it fits you well. I’m Scarlett and my friends call me Scar. So, now we have had our introduction. Where are you taking me?” Scarlett looked over at him waiting for his answer.
“Scarlett is a beautiful name. We are heading to the Tasting Counter.” He keeps his eyes forward while he responded to her.
“That place is hard to get into. I’m amazed that they let you in at such short notice.” She was wondering how he did it, even while she acknowledged where they were going.
“Yes, for most people it is hard to taste Counter, but I have a standing reservation with the place. So, I can go.” That’s when he looked over at her, he wanted to see her reaction to that.
“Wow, impressive. I don’t see the point to flash money around like that. It brings trouble and unwanted attention.” She turned her head towards the window
She didn’t think he would understand that money is not what she was seeking, but someone to make her feel safe again like her mother uses too. Even with her friends she still felt alone, but a guy like Enzo wouldn’t understand that. She knew he was a player and not really the commitment type of person. So, she figured just have fun while it lasted and then he would move on and she could find that one that was her soul mate.
He didn’t know what he had said to get that faraway look in her eyes, but he knew he didn’t enjoy seeing that look on her. Even now he wasn’t sure why he cared so much about that. He brushed it off because he knew he had a job to do. Then he and his men would screw over the guy trying to move in his city.
They arrived at the restaurant and he walked around to the passenger side of the car to open the door for her. He opened her door and held out his hand for her so he could help her out of the car. She reached out and grabbed his hand and let him help her out of the car. He kept her hand in his while they walked to the door to the restaurant. He held the door open for her to walk in and put his hand on the small of her back as they walked up to the Hostess. When he told her his name, she walked him to his usual spot and got him and her a nice wine to drink while they waited for the first course of the evening.
“Tell me a little about yourself.” He told her instead of just asking her. She looked up at how he was asking about her and the way he said he makes her want to defy him, but she didn’t. “What are you wanting to know Enzo?” She used his name this time just to see his face.
“Where are your parents? What are you major in college? How long do you have left? How about answering those first and then I will ask you more than the night goes one?” He smiles at her.
“I will answer your questions as long as you answer mine. I only knew my mother, I do not understand who my father was. My mother died when I was young, so I went to college to pick up on her dream so she can still a live one through me. I only have to pass my last test is in a couple more days than I will graduate in June with my doctorates, majoring in Psychiatrist.” She smiled and got ready to ask her questions. Just as she was getting ready to ask her first question there was a commotion at the front of the restaurant. They both looked over and seen this thug of a man walking towards them. Scarlett gets a look of horror on her face. He sees her get scared, so he jumps in front of her so the thug couldn’t get to her. Then he has seen his men coming in after he did. SO they took him down but not before he could knock a few tables over and give Scarlett a scare.
He wanted this guy now. So, he guides her back out to his car just to find it has two flat tires, so he had the boys drive them to her place. Once he made sure she was home safe, he would get down to business and find this boss man and show him you don’t f**k with him and his men. He walked her to her apartment door and told her good night, then walked away. She was about to step through the door when she felt him turn her around a plant a kiss on her she had never felt or ever think she would again. When she caught her breath and opened her eyes, she was watching his back and him leaving her.
