Not A Cinderella

31

April.

"Order for maltri" "yes that's me. Just place them on the counter" "quite a few pizzas" "a lot of staff" "do you own this place?" "I sure do. Thanks for the delivery" "you are welcome have a good evening" "thanks".
Twenty damn pizzas. Carrying ten out, I put them on the table "geez bit hungry there April" I smirked "yep just wait there is ten more" "I knew you would over order" "we all need to eat".

Getting the microphone, I made an announcement. "Welcome to ventures park. Thanks for taking your time to come visit today. Just to let all the visitors know. We have pizza and beer. Come get it" grabbing the other ten pizzas when I walked out matt and Brenton were laughing. "you are an idiot" "id say smart, I don't need to chase everyone now. Dig in before all the piglets get here"
Searching through all the pizzas, I found the one I wanted then took a seat. "Oi which one did you get?" "My usual go to" "pig" I chuckled "you are just too slow" "what's on it?" "Everything bar olives, anchovies, pineapple and prawns" "she chose the best one" "your chicken one is in there somewhere".
"Can I have a piece" "go for it. I was just keeping it away from.." "ay fat guts move" "them" Brenton laughed.

Eating our meals, I couldn't help but grin seeing everyone having a good time. This place is usually packed with people and as Much as we love it we are all over the place, running different sections, helping people etcetera.
"What has you smiling?" "Just how happy everyone else is" "you made it happen" "I like to see my family happy" "what about Lucas? you once said he was family" "we'll see but family doesn't go against each other" "Adam did" "no he went against a mates sister and he was that bloody high, he wouldn't know what he was doing until it was too late. Lucas was sober, he knew exactly what he was doing" "I can understand that".

"Brit what the hell is this" Brit stood in front of me with a massive two tier chocolate cake "it's your birthday tomorrow and as all of us are here, I think it's the perfect time to say happy birthday to you" I shook my head with a grin. "unbelievable" the guys laughed. "You all knew didn't you" "nope" "no way" "nah" "you are all full of shit" "twenty one right?" "I will take that" Brit laughed "plus gst" "piss off tahlia" she smirked "I'm staying there is cake".
"Alright let's get this over and done with" Brit lit the candles then stood back.
"Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to the best bitch ever" I laughed "happy birthday to you" "hip hip hooray" "hip hip hooray" "hip hip hooray".
Blowing out the candles. I looked at everyone "thanks all of you" "you are welcome now cut the cake because I want some" "her birthday fat guts, not yours".
Cutting the cake every one moved in grabbing a piece.
Tommy sat down across from me "so what are the plans for tomorrow?" "Dinner with my dad" "and all that is going alright?" "Yeah it is actually. I knew if I was to have some sort of connection with my family and it would be with my dad" "daddy's princess" "more like rebel" "I'm not either" "just wild" "I won't disagree to that just not as wild as I used to be" "that because we all grew up" "sort of" I chuckled "we are still young at heart just have to work" "no you don't" "okay in my case I choose to work but I like to work" "just need to learn to take a break" I nodded at matt "yep".
"I'm going back to have fun before it gets dark" "my thoughts too" I chuckled "well go. Have fun and enjoy it while you can" "bye now".
"You going to have some fun businessman?" "Yeah he is" "what?" "Off you go" "but what about you?" "What about me? I'm happy relaxing. Go on" he grinned "alright I can see when Im not wanted" I laughed "have fun".

"You aren't coming?" I looked at Brit "nah I can't" "why not?" "My back" "what's wrong with it?" "Hmm well I'm sure you know I found Lucas" Brit nodded "we got into a fight. Not only did I end up with a bruise down my face and a small cut on my cheek and head I have a massive bruise on my back" "shit how bad?" "It's not pretty" "I can't believe he would do something like he did" "oh that's not all. he tried to kiss me when I went to see him" "what?" "Yep so I kneed him in the balls" Brit laughed "and what about brenton?" I shrugged "he has been great. Caring, supportive, worried in some cases, helpful.." "helpful?" I nodded.
"It started when I was unwell. he came to my estate made me soup and dinner" "whoa a businessman that can cook" I chuckled "not only that he caught a cleaner of mine. She had planted cameras in my house" "WHAT" I nodded "I have a court case on Wednesday to sue them for the lot. It's all going to charity. I hope they get jail time too" "why am I just hearing about all this now?" "I have been busy with everything else and haven't had much time to talk with you" "oh I know you have been running around like crazy" "with the park in Los Angeles, This park, the shit going on with not only Lucas and the court case, I am also doing the plans for the resort" "you take on way too much" "well after the court case and next month when the other park opens, I will be down to just the resort. I obviously have to go back to Los Angeles for a little while.." "how long is a little while?" I shrugged "I don't know I need to see the finished product, find workers and make sure the park will run efficiently before I come back" "so quite a while?" "Maybe a few weeks to a month" "have you told anyone?" "No not yet. But I will definitely need to speak with matt as he will be in charge of this place" "of course. he has been with you since before opening" I nodded "he has but you are still my favorite office bitch" "trying to make me feel better" "no just saying it how it is" "I know".

Spending a couple of hours speaking with Brit alone everyone else came back as soon as it got dark. "Everything is shut down until tomorrow" "you all look like drowned rats" "it was fun" I grinned "I'm glad to hear that. Everyone want a drink?" "We should take it back to your place" "if you want to. But I only have enough room for four to join me in my car" "you are driving?" "Yes I have only had two drinks in five hours" "alright let's call cabs".

Making sure everything was locked up, I grabbed all the left over pizzas and the drinks putting them in my car.
"What are you doing?" "Putting stuff in my boot" "all ready to go?" "Yep just waiting on those cabs".
"I'm in" I grinned at Adam "I thought you might be" "I've got front seat" "that leaves two more" "my guess it will be Brenton" "and me" "alright you four you are with me" "oh piss off I wanted to travel in that car" "next time tommy" "I will hold you to that".
Seeing the cabs rock up, I got in and Brit jumped in the front while the rest got in the back. "You better drive it like you stole it" "like I own it and can do whatever the hell I like" Brit laughed.

Getting back to my estate zeth smirked "have fun?" I winked "never. Everyone isn't far behind us. Let em in" "sure" "and zeth?" "What?" "Lock the gates and come join us" "but.." "put the security on" "alright will do".

"Security?" I grinned at Brit "you really think I only have the men?" "Well that's what I thought" I shrugged.

Getting out of the car, I locked it then walked out of the garage locking that too.
"Zeth who is with you tonight?" "Craig and Oakley" "tell em to come join. There is plenty for everyone" "you sure?" "Yep" "alright I will go get them and bring them in" "sweet"
Entering the house I grinned as everyone had made themselves at home. I plan to surprise Adam tonight but I will do that later. for now it's time to drink.
"Thought you might've went to bed you are getting old now" I smirked at beau "I'd still out drink you" "alcoholic" "nope i just can handle my drinks unlike some hey beau" "piss off" "rude".
