Listen Up

Pete pov

"Well hello it's nice to see you again" I said.

"Mr.Wentz I-"

"David how many times have I told you call me Pete, Mr. Wentz is my father's name."

"Yes, I'm sorry P..Pete."

"It's been a year now David and I still haven't gotten any of my money I let you borrow."

"I know, if you just give me more time I promise-" I cut him off.

"No!, No more time, remember the contract you signed stating that within a year I would have my money back or else you would go stright to jail."

"Please Pete, just a couple of days?" He says.

"David I would give you more time but I'm a business man, and as a business man I must look after my familes wealth."

"I can't go to jail Pete, my wife Patricia and my son Patrick need me" he pleaded.

Patrick. I haven't seen him in a really long time. I wonder if he's still as handsome as ever maybe I could help out David after all...

"How are they by the way?"

"Their doing alright, Patrick finally graduated high school just last year."

"You know what David I think I have a solution to all your problems?" I said.

"Really, what's the solution?"

"Patrick."

"My s..son?"

I nodded.

"Think about it, your son marries me for an entire year to cover up you debt, you get to avoid jail for many years and still see your family" I explained.

"Why him?" He asked.

"I'm not going to lie, ever since I saw your son I felt a special connection and I think Patrick would accept if it ment saving you from being a convict."

"I..I-" he stuttered.

"Don't worry David I don't need an answer now I'll give you till tomorrow so you can talk it over with your family."

I gave him a small nod before exiting the room.
