Chapter 103
Brad
I looked at my watch for the thousand time since Jennifer left the table with Romeo short on her heels. I know Romeo very well and I’m very sure he didn’t stop with his naughty tricks. Like right now I was sure he was fucking my daughter somewhere in a dark corner. I could feel myself getting work up I just hope I can keep it together when they finally come back to the table. It didn’t help that the rest of our friends didn’t see any problem with Jennifer and Romeo. I didn’t understand it, I mean all these friends saw her grow up will any of them ask her to marry. Out of no where I asked Rufus “Rufus would you have asked Jennifer to marry you if you weren’t married to Lauren?” “No off course not I was there when her mom past I saw what she went through and how she became a woman. How can you even ask me something like that?” “Because I can’t get my head around the fact that she is going to marry Romeo.” “You can’t compare us to Romeo Brad.” Tom said “And why not we are all friends all the same age.” “Romeo wasn’t here when her mom past he didn’t see her grow up he didn’t see her at all the events you dragged her to. In fact, if you want to blame anyone for her marrying an older man you should blame yourself.” Tom went on. “And how do you come to that conclusion?” “Well since your wife died you brought her to all the events with you, she’s always been in the company of older people it’s not such a stretched that she will end up with an older man.” Tom said. “Do you agree?” I looked at the rest. All of them said yes even the women agreed with their husbands. “And let’s not forget you pushed her into a corner Brad, you told her she needs to get married.” Sarah said. “So basically, everything is my fault?” Everyone nodded at me.
I was so worked up when Romeo and Jennifer got back to the table the first thing that came out of my mouth was “Where the fuck where you? It doesn’t take this long to go to the ladies’ room? Please tell me you didn’t just fuck my daughter in public?” “Dad! Everyone can hear you.” After, I said it, I realized I’d overstep terrible. When I looked at the faces around the table everyone was stunned when I looked at Romeo’s face, I could see he was ready to punch me but he had better manners than me he greeted everyone told me we will speak later took my daughter and walked out of the dinning room. “What the fuck was that, Brad?” Arlo asked. “I don’t know okay he just gets under my skin.” “That is no excuse for what you just did Brad.” Tom said. “That was uncalled for you better think of something to make up for that because if I was Jennifer, I wouldn’t speak to you again.” Fergie said. “Fuck” I said as I put my head in my hands.
Romeo
When Brad asked if I fucked his daughter, I could feel myself turning red, if we weren’t at a formal event I would have punched Brad’s fucking face in, he didn’t even do it softly the table around us could hear him. I greeted our other friends took Jennifers hand and walked out of the dinning room. Both Jennifer and I kept it together until we where in the car. Jennifer was the first to lost it “He went to far Romeo I won’t be able to forgive him for this.” “I agree with you Jenn he definitely took it too far.” “I thought you were going to hit him or something.” “Believe me if we weren’t in public I would have.” “I’ve never seen you so red before.” “If I’m this red it means I’m very very angry Jennifer.” I grabbed a glass out of the bar and poured myself a drink then downed it, I poured myself another one and downed that one as well. I was furious I wanted to beat the shit out of Brad. After the third drink Jennifer took the glass from me, “Can I also have a drink?” she held the glass and I poured her a drink then I actually looked at her. She had tears in her eyes but she didn’t let them roll down her cheeks yet. “Darling, are you okay?” I asked her as I took her cheeks in my hands. “Do I have a chose?” “Yes, darling you do.” “Well then, I’m not okay I can’t believe he just did that. He said he was fine with us marrying each other but with every step he takes he gets something to embarrass us with or complain about.” And then the tears started to roll down her cheeks. “It’s okay Jenn, I’ll sort him out okay don’t you worry.” “I can’t help it Romeo if he keeps on doing this, I don’t even want him at the wedding I don’t want him to walk me down the aisle I don’t want him anywhere near me.” “I understand darling I do, let me talk to him maybe later the week let me first calm down myself before I try and speak to him.” “I’m leaving him in your hands Romeo for now I’m done with him. He shouldn’t even contact me.”
When we got home my phone rang when I looked at the caller ID it was Brad, I let it go to voicemail. I won’t be able to talk to him not now. When it stopped my phone rang again when I looked at the caller ID, I saw it was Tom. “Tom” I answered. “Are you okay?” he asked me “I am but Jennifer is not.” “He knew he went to far Romeo.” “Well both Jennifer and I need time we won’t be able to talk to him not now things will be said that shouldn’t be said. I don’t care that he knows he went too far we can’t speak to him.” “I understand I’ll tell him to stop calling you.” “I will appreciate it, Tom.” “Romeo.” “Yes Tom?” “Look after her.” “I will.” Tom said good bye and I walked up the stairs to go look for Jennifer.
