Chapter 84
Romeo
I couldn’t believe my eyes, in front of us Francesca my ex-wife was having dinner with Bradford. I don’t give a fuck who she’s having dinner with but I warned her to get out of town tonight or else. Clearly not Brad or Francesca takes me seriously. They haven’t seen my bad side yet and I could feel him coming out. “Francesca how nice to see you again.” Jennifer said, I knew she wanted me to play nice like I told her to do but I couldn’t. Francesca I’m going to ask you again “Didn’t I tell you to get out of town tonight?” “Romeo don’t be so rude to Francesca.” Brad said. “I didn’t speak to you Brad.” I said without losing eye contact with Francesca. “I’m leaving tomorrow Romeo don’t get you panties in a knot. Brad invited me and I accepted before you told me to leave.” “Even if Brad didn’t invite you you wouldn’t have left right?” I asked her. She looked at me then at Jenn I wanted to stand in front of Jenn to protect her from Francesca but I couldn’t. “Probable not.” She said. “You want to join us?” Brad asked. “I think Francesca needs to leave we are here to find out what your problem is. We are not going to wait until Sunday there is just too much to do before the wedding which will be on the 1st of December if you wondered.” “No, it’s fine Francesca can stay she told me something about you which I can’t live with and neither should my daughter.”
I pulled out a chair for Jennifer to sit then I took a seat next to Brad. I looked him right in the face and said “And what will that be?” “You don’t want children Romeo and I want a grandson to take over the business our name needs to go on.” I didn’t skip a beat, although my heart did stop there for a minute, “I didn’t want children with Francesca it doesn’t mean I don’t want children with Jennifer.” I squeezed Jenn’s hand and all she did was smile she didn’t say a word to contradict me. “And how many grand children do you want, I mean I am 49 I might need to get started immediately.” Brad pulled his face he was probable thinking about me and his daughter having sex or he was surprised that I didn’t put up a fight. “A grandson I don’t care how many children you have but I want a grandson one that can take over the business and keep our name running.” “You know MY son will have MY surname and he will have his own empire to look after.” I put a lot of emphasis on MY, Brad looked like he wanted to get sick, getting green around the cheeks. Francesca’s lips were so tightly pulled together trying not to say anything, clearly, I was the winner in this scenario. Jennifer found her voice “Why should it be a son dad? Why can’t our daughter take over the business I mean you wanted me to do it why can’t our daughter?” To that Brad didn’t say anything, clearly Francesca told him I will pull out of the wedding if he brings up children and to both of their utter shock, I didn’t throw a tantrum I didn’t tell Jennifer it’s over I just excepted it.
“Is that all Brad, is this what you wanted to tell us Sunday?” “Yes” “Well then, I think Jennifer and I should get back to my house and start on those grandbabies for you.” I stood up from the table pulling Jenn’s chair out “For God’s sake Romeo, don’t you have any respect for you once best friend?” Francesca basically screamed at me, standing up with her hands on the table. “Why should I he doesn’t have any respect for his own daughter respect is something you earn not something that you just get Francesca or have you forgotten that lesson.” “You know what Romeo, Fuck you.” “No thank you.” I turned around and took Jennifers hand. “Before you go Romeo my grandson will have my first name or else there will be no wedding.” “You want me to go to the papers telling them the wedding is off because Bradford Rynn is upset about the names of his someday grand children? That will make a nice piece in the paper Brad. I’m sure that will put you in such a great light. I mean what will the people say, isn’t that the one thing you worry most about?” “Fuck of Romeo.” Brad said “Dad!” Jennifer screamed at him. “Your ‘fiancé’ started it.”
“He did not, yet again you try and dictate my life. You don’t even ask if I wanted children Francesca here just told you Romeo don’t want children and you ran with it. You didn’t even take my feelings in consideration but why would you? You’ve never had before. You wanted me to get married I found the perfect man to get married to, one that can actually help your business but still it’s not enough and still you don’t want to share the right paper work with him. Which I asked for by the way his looking out for my best interest and growing your business will be good for me and if you pull your head out of your ass you will see it’s good for you to, but no you just want your own way. I’m done with this. Romeo and I are getting married on the 1st December you can be there or don’t be there I really don’t care anymore and if I want children the emphasis on ME wanting children I will speak to MY husband about it not you. So, get over it right now or loose me forever.” She basically yelled at her dad then she turned around and walked out. “What was that?” Brad asked “She has never spoken to me like that before, this is all you Romeo you are a bad influence on my daughter.” “No Brad she finally stood up for herself and I couldn’t be prouder of her.” “Brad goodnight, Francesca I will check on you tomorrow if you are still there, I will personally carry you to your car and carry you into the airplane but you will leave Las Vegas tomorrow.” Then I turned around and went looking for my fiancé, I found her sitting in my G-Wagon waiting for me. She had a very strong drink in her hand. When I got into the SUV, I poured myself one before she said “I’m sorry Romeo I just couldn’t listen to him anymore I know you said….” I interrupted her. “Jenn I’m so proud of you you finally stood up for yourself. You don’t have to apologize to me for it.” “You sure you not angry?” “No darling I’m proud very very proud.”
