Our Little Secret

• Chapter 19-Got Me Begging •

I went to Joe's bedroom and knocked on the door.When I heard nothing I just went in.I opened Go Girl by Pitbull,Trina and Young Bo.At max volume.Joe jumped out the bed with his quilt and fell on the ground.

I stopped the music and looked at Joe."What the hell are you doing,Reine?""It's 10am,Joe.That means it's 9 in Paris.We're going to call father.Get up.Meet me in my room."

I came back to my room and Adrien was still there.I rolled my eyes and just got my laptop."Did you call me baby boy?"I threw my leg above the other and looked at him over my shoulder.

He was seriously asking.And I was seriously not in the mood to answer.So I rolled my eyes and moved on.The laptop opened,finally,and I started setting up the zoom meeting with our father.

Joe came to the room."God,I hate you."I shrugged as he came with his own chair.I got up and went to the door."Get out.""Why would I do that?"I sighed.

"Hmm...Let me see.My father doesn't like you.We're not togather.And,oh,because I said so.Be a good pup and get out."Joe's head snapped at me."Did you just tell him to be a 'good pup' or am I starting to hear things?"

I turned my stern and harsh gaze to Joe."Ok.Forget I ever asked."I opened the door for him at this point."I am this close to screaming my lungs out here.Get out."

"If we are not dating,then why are you wearing both of the necklaces I got you so far?"I gestured him to come over.I grabbed his collar and pulled him down to my height.

"Just because we aren't togather anymore doesn't mean you don't own me still.Now,get out."I pushed him out and locked the door behind him.

"I swear to God,I'll kill him one day."I sat down."Since he reminded me."I took off the necklace he put on today,as a gift.It was his name hanging down my neck!Father would know right away!

"Before we call father,since you started talking again,are you ok?"I took a deep breath and nodded."Let's just call him.I have a chapter report I need to write after this."

We called our father.

"Reine.Joe.""Father."There was a bit silence for a while.I was trying to look as cheery as I could."Happy birthday,Reine.And I am assuming you learned,I am very well aware of your mother's upcoming child and marriage."

"And this should relevant to this call because?I don't care,father.The only thing I have to say to you is that we are getting on the train tomorrow and that I got our flight tickets.We'll be at the academy campus in a day or two."

"Fine.I'll take care of the rest.""Well appreciated."He hung up on us."Out,Joe.I'll be down in an hour or less."With a pouting face,he left.I wrote my report and my phone would not stop ringing.

I finally got down to the kitchen.I grabbed a green apple and then started walking inside the house pointlessly as I answered every single call that was being made to me.

My father has many business partners.They all have kids,grandkids even.Then there are my friends,more like associates because we are not that close.We're not even close,to be honest.

I was done by dinner."FINALLY!"I went to the living room to sit with the rest.Right when I sat down,another person called.This time it was an unknown number.

"Who am I talking to?""Could you tell my son that I done with his bullshit and he needs to get his ass back to work?!Because I am this close to killing you if he doesn't.He thinks he is so good at hiding you but he is failing miserably!"

"So if you don't get that Lady ass of yours out of the way,I'll have to eliminate it!"I scoffed."First of all,watch who you are talking to.I don't care who you are,I'll make your life a living hell if you don't."
