Ari's Reverse Harlem Part 2

Chapter 11 Edison

Edison

"I know the great Edison is not jealous?" Square asks sarcastically, sitting back in his sit.

I'm grabbing the edge of the desk so hard I break it.

I can't keep the laugh from leaving my lips when I reply "Oh Square, you have no fucking idea."

I nod my head towards the door, letting my men know I want privacy. Once the door is closed, my eyes immediately find Square. He's still so young and dumb. For his sake, I hope he listens and listens well.

"So, are you going to tell me where you been? You've been doing a good job avoiding me?" I ask

"I've been busy. You never bothered me about my whereabouts before, why start now?" Square asks.

I get up, moving behind him in a blink of an eye. I place my hands on his shoulders, bringing my mouth close to whisper yell in his ear. "Because you're trying to be sneaky and it doesn't suit you. You should leave that up to the professionals." I see him bristled at my comment. It's taking everything out of me, not to stick my claws into his shoulders, making him beg for forgiveness.

"That's where you're wrong Square. I've always cared about your whereabouts. I've always known your whereabouts but this last week you've been trying to avoid me." I say running my hands down his cheat. "You've been a bad little boy. I can't help but to think it's because you found your little pet." I put emphasis on the P. Square says nothing, only pissing me off more. "I know she walked in here with you. She needs to be getting her things together and leaving immediately." I finish saying

Square gets up from his sit, walking to the opposite side of the office, turning to say "And why should she need to get her stuff together and leaving? Why is she not welcome here?"

Well, I honestly can't tell him my feelings I have for her. I don't know which one would devastate him more. The fact I have these feelings for someone, the feeling I could never fully have for him or the fact I'm getting rid of his little pet. Either way it's safer for all parties involved if we just get rid of his little pet, the possible love of my life.

It's too dangerous for us to be together. I tell myself again. I can't protect her, the way she would need protection from my father. I would rather I never experience love, if it was at the risk of losing her to him.

"Well? Are you going to give me a got damn answer? Or is this just one of your many 'because I say so' situations." Square spits out. He knows me so well. I was just about to say 'because I said so', I'm glad he saved me some time. I reward him with a smile.

"It doesn't matter if you have a reason or not. She's not leaving. I want her here." He yells from across the room, where he beings to pace. I almost feel bad for him...almost.

"It doesn't matter what you want. This is my place and I want her out. NOW!" I yell. I can't let this keep going on. She needs to be on the next bus out of the city...like yesterday.

"Like hell it doesn't. This is just as much my place as it is yours. I've been running this place by myself for years. I'm not the scared the little boy you found over 8 years ago. Stop treating me like I am one."

"I will stop treating you like one, when you stop acting like one."

"What is that supposed to mean?" He asks

"Seriously? Square, all you do is cling to people like a lost puppy. You're so desperate for attention it's almost pathetic. It's obvious, that's why you're so reluctant to let your new little pet go. You're usually not this difficult, to see reason."

"You're just use to getting your damn way but not this time. I'm not folding on this. She's mine! Wherever she goes I GO TOO!" He finishes with a yell. He looks upset, I'm not used to seeing him being like this. If I wasn't so pissed off, I would've been turned on.
