A Little Sane

Chapter 160

"She does good business here. I have not been here in a while."

Jerome rolled his eyes as he took a step forward, standing next to his brother. He stared at the building. He could see people in the windows of the rooms on each floor. Mercedes had clearly reopened the apartments as a hotel to go with the club. He turned to Jeremiah.

"Let's not get distracted okay? Mercedes asked us to come scope out the place for contraband and to check the books."

Jeremiah nodded. 

"We can definitely do that. Come on."

They stopped just as the walked in the door. Everyone turned to stare at them. Three seconds later, everyone went back to exactly what they were doing. The women dancing on the poles around the club, some on the stage together. A group of guys were playing what seemed to be a serious game of pool. The bartender was talking to a customer, but still seemed to be doing his job. Nothing seemed out of place yet. A new song turned on and they looked at each other shocked. 

Ayy (ayy)I've been fuckin' hoes and poppin' pillies
Man, I feel just like a rockstar (star, ayy, ayy)

"Like the music? Mercedes picks all of it. Everything goes by her before it's played. All her playlists."

Oriena smiled as they turned to look at her. She stared at both of them amazed that they were standing next to each other. 

"You two are out together."

Jerome wanted so badly to roll his eyes and say something bad about his brother, but he thought this was a great chance to annoy him and get under his skin. He chuckled and but his arm over Jeremiah's shoulder as if they were best buddies. 

"The wife asked us to get along for one day and come check things out for her. We can do that right brother?"

Jerome pulled Jeremiah closer and kissed the side of his head as if they were super close. Jeremiah held his disgusted look together. He gave Oriena an Awkward smile.

"Yes we are more than capable of being civil."

Oriena looked away for three seconds. Jeremiah nudged his arm off of him harshly. He glared at Jerome. Jerome grinned. 

"I assume you guys would also like to go upstairs and check the books before you make your rounds?"

 Jerome held his hand out with a wickedly charming smile. 

"Lead that way."

Jeremiah glared again.

"If you ever kiss me again, I will blow a hole right through you."

Jerome chuckled. A woman wearing almost zero clothes made her way towards them.

"Well, Jerome Valeska. I know you're here on business.."

The woman gently touched his arm and smiled.

"But how about you let me treat you to a V.I.P  experience?"

Jerome smirked and shook his head.

"Oh no. You're gonna get me in trouble."

She laughed and her eyes flickered to Jeremiah.

"Jeremiah?"

He laughed.

"Both of us will be in trouble."

"Look at you two handsome men being loyal. Well let me know if you change your mind."

Oriena shook her head in amusement. They continued through the club and up the stairs. Oriena locked the office door when they were inside.
