Chapter 138
Jennifer
“That’s not what I’m saying Jenn.” My dad tried. “You know what can we go and eat please I’m tired and have a massive headache.” My dad wanted to say something but Romeo got up and gave me his hand. He took some water from my dad’s desk poured me a glass and gave me 2 head ache tablets. When I swallowed them, Romeo looked at my dad and said “You have a choice here Brad we can go and eat or Jennifer and I can leave and you can send me the names of the guest by e-mail later.” “Fine we can go and eat.” My dad said. Romeo didn’t leave my hand for one second, he knew when my head is this sore, I’m off balance as well. He walked with me to the dining room behind my father. My dad looked back towards us a few times I could see he wanted to say something but thank God he didn’t. Romeo pulled out the chair for me and made sure I was sitting before he took his seat. Peter the butler was at the table in no time pouring everyone some wine when he wanted to pour me some, Romeo stopped him. “Can you bring her a soda?” “We don’t have soda.” Peter said. I could have told Romeo that. “Just a glass of water Peter, thank you.” Romeo didn’t say anything he got up from the table and walked out the front door. “What is that about?” My dad asked referring to the soda or water who the fuck knows. “Well dad I have a concussion and are on very strong pain medication which the doctor said I can’t have alcohol with like any other medication.” “You know they only say that right it’s not really true.” My dad went on he never listened to doctors. Yes, Doctor Jacobs was our doctor for years and years but my father never listened to him. I decided not to argue with him anymore so I took a sip from my water that is when Romeo came walking back into the dinning room with a Coke light in his hand. “Where did you get that?” I asked him. “I had Lucas stock the car with them to darling.” “Thank you, Romeo.” My father just rolled his eyes as Romeo poured the Coke light into another glass. Peter came out again with the starter it was a Prawn cocktail. It was silent around the table we didn’t speak which was a relieve because when we speak, we just fight. We all enjoyed the starter or maybe Romeo and I was just eating to get away from my dad for the day.
Peter came in with the main course which was Beef wellington and vegetables. Beef Wellington was my mothers favorite when I cut into it a tear slipped out. Romeo saw it he leaned into me and asked “Are you okay?” My dad must have heard him “You see I told you I know her better than you, she’s crying because Beef Wellington was her mother’s favorite.” Romeo gave my father a look one that any man will hide from. “I take it this was on purpose?” Romeo asked him “Off course not, I don’t tell the chef what to cook.” I knew that was a lie he did this on purpose. I pushed my chair back looked at Romeo and said “We’re leaving.” “But you didn’t finish your food.” My dad said. I looked at him and said “The guest list by the end of today if you don’t send it through then no one you wanted to invite will be invited.” Then I turned around and walked out of the house. Lucas was at my door in a second as he opened it for me. I got in and started to sob. Romeo was just as quickly in the SUV next to me. “Oh, darling come here.” He pulled me into his arms. And I cried and cried. I must have cried until we got to Romeo’s house. “I’m sorry” I said when I eventually stopped crying. “don’t be sorry darling.” “He did it on purpose Romeo he always tell the chef what to make and he did today on purpose we never had Beef wellington since my mother died, I don’t know what he was trying to accomplished but if he wanted to upset me, he did that.” “Come let’s go in maybe Luna has something for us to eat.” “Would you mind if I just go lie down Romeo my head is killing me.” “Off course not I’ll walk you up.” I wanted to be alone but I didn’t want to take out what happened with my dad on Romeo so I let him walk me to the room. When the curtains where closed and I was undressed which, he helped me with he made sure I was in bed then he kissed me on the forehead and left me alone. As soon as the door closed behind him, I started to cry again, which wasn’t good for my head not at all.
Romeo
When I closed the door, I could hear she was crying again. I wanted to go to her and hold her but I know she needed her alone time. I walked to the kitchen feeling bad for Jennifer I really didn’t think Brad will go that far, what he was trying to accomplished only he knew. Did he want to show me he knows her best because that was a real fucked up way of showing it. Luna was in the kitchen busy making something. “Mr. Bianchi your back.” “Yes, and I’m hungry.” “No problem, Sir I’ll make you Alfredo if that is okay with you?” “Yes, please and make a plate for Jennifer as well she’s going to be hungry when she wakes up.” “No problem, sir.” “I’ll be in my office.” I walked to my office and started on the guest list, I didn’t want it to be a horse and pony show but there were people I needed to invite at least the people in my illegal businesses don’t expect invitations to social events that would have been a cluster fuck.
