Chapter 65
Jennifer
To say I was just as shocked as my dad would be an understatement. I thought Romeo will ease my father into it maybe wait until after dinner but that shock look, I had when he said he wanted to fuck me in the middle of the dance floor that was clearly the look he was going for. “Dad people are looking at you.” That had my dad lowering his voice. “Romeo, I also told you it wouldn’t work between you and Jennifer.” My father hissed. “So, you talked to him about my so-called marriage?” I played dumb “Yes I did.” My father said. “Ladies and gentleman can you please take your seats dinner will be served.” The MC said. “We not done talking about this.” My father said to me and Romeo. When we got to the table Romeo made a show of looking at the names and then said out load “Jennifer it looks like you sitting next to me.” “It can’t be” my father said. “Well, here is her name.” Before any of them could make another scene, I sat down next to Romeo my father gave me his displeasing look. Well right back at you dad. I thought. Romeo sat down next to me putting his hand on my leg underneath the table. Just his touch had me calming down immediately. The others came to sit at the table I saw all of them look at me then my dad because off course they know I always sits next to him but tonight was different. The waiters came to fill our glasses and bring the starters. Sarah, Arlo’s wife asked Romeo “So Romeo what have you been up to?” “Just business nothing exciting.” My father cleared his voice. “Are you okay Brad?” Sarah asked. “Just tanti.” I gave my father the disapproving eyes. “Clearly there is something going on here tonight.” Tom said. Tom never had any tact. “You wanna tell them Brad?” Romeo asked my dad. “No, we haven’t talked about it.” “Well, I’m sure you didn’t talk to Jennifer before you had the media ambush her.” “How did you know?” “Ambush you about what dear?” Fergie asked. “My dad decided this week I need to marry and if I don’t get someone, he will get someone for me so Romeo here made me the offer of marrying me, solving all my father’s problems but still his not happy.” I just had to get it out. Everyone around the table went “OOOOO” and “AAAAA”
“Well, that was uncalled for.” My dad went on. “Why Brad? Why was it uncalled for?” Romeo asked my dad. “Because we didn’t talk about it yet.” “Wasn’t it uncalled for to let the media ask me when I’m getting married?” I asked my dad. “Can we not, not now.” My dad said. Clearly, we touched a sore point and he didn’t want to speak about it anymore. “Well Jennifer are you going to except?” Fergie asked. I looked at Romeo into his eyes “Yes I already did.” “No!” my dad screamed as he got up and left the table. I looked at Romeo “should I go after him?” “No Jenn leave it to me.” Romeo got up and followed my dad.
Romeo
I wanted to take my time and ease into the whole thing but after I heard what Brad did to Jennifer with the media, I just couldn’t hold it anymore I wanted him to know I will be marrying Jennifer and there was nothing he would be able to do about it. Yes, he could go on and fuss and fight but I’m not a young man and I’m not afraid of him I will be able to stand up to him. Something very little people can do. I didn’t call after him I just followed him. If I know him, he will walk to his office where he could be alone and rant and rave as much as he liked. I wasn’t wrong he walked straight to his office. He didn’t even notice I was following him. When he wanted to close the door behind him, I was right there in his face. “Not know Romeo.” “Why not Brad? Why can’t we just get this out of the way?” “I don’t want to Romeo now leave.” “It’s because you know I’ll be good to your business and even better to your daughter and you don’t want to admit it to yourself.” “I thought you said you never going to marry again?” “I did say that yes but I mean have you looked at your daughter she’s amazing.” “What do you know about her?” “More than I knew about my ex-wife that is maybe why she is my ex-wife.” “Romeo leave give me time to process what you just did.” “What use your game against yourself.” “Fuck of Romeo.” “I’m leaving and I’m taking Jennifer home she has an early morning tomorrow but I will not give up on this Brad I will marry Jennifer with or without your business. That will be your decision.” “I’ll call you tomorrow.” “Fine we’ll speak tomorrow.” “But Romeo we are talking alone not with Jennifer in the room.” “Will it be about her?” “No if I can live with this it will be about my business.” “Where does Jenn fit into the whole scheme of things?” “She will be your problem Romeo if you marry her, she will be your responsibility.” “I’m very aware of that and I wouldn’t want it any other way but you should also keep in mind she will be my wife she won’t be escorting you to events anymore she will be mine. Do you understand that, Brad?” “I hear you.” “But do you understand.” “I hear you Romeo leave it at that.” I decided I won’t get any further with him tonight so I left and went back to the party. The main course where served I saw Jennifer hasn’t eaten a thing. “You should eat Jenn.” “What’s going on with my dad?” “Eat babe.” She picked up her knife and fork and started to eat. Good girl. I squeezed her leg letting her know I’m there for her.
