P.O.V. Scarlett

I looked curiously at my father and his friends.

I wonder where he knew them from. Was my father involved in that environment, too? That was pretty bizarre! Swallowing dry, I looked at my father...

- So dad, where do you know Noah and, er Dixie?

- Mrs. D'Amelio! - he demanded it and I was soon intimidated.

- Of course! Mrs. D'Amelio... - she looked at Noah, who rushed immediately, to go to her, the boy hugged her by wrapping his arms around her. Even though she was smaller than him, one could still feel that she was in charge.

- We have common business.

They exchanged a look and shuddered! That wasn't good... ...there was more there than just "business".

Before I asked more questions that feared the answers, the pervert addressed me.

- Scarlett, she's such a beautiful young woman, I bet she has hundreds of boyfriends. - I looked at my father who looked at me curiously.

- Only one actually.

Do you have a boyfriend?

- Well, it's not really a boyfriend, we started now, so it's relatively new, you know...

- And when will I meet him?

- When he's madly in love with me. - Dad laughed.

- Afraid I'll scare away the kid.

Boy? That's it? How old does my father think I am?

I ignored that part and continued.

- Actually yes, he wouldn't be the first. - He snorted knowing that I was right, over the years, he scared many boyfriends, with his angry face and death threats.

He must have been immensely happy, when I stopped dating or thinking about boys, little did he know, that in reality, I was more interested in his partner than in the boys my age, considering the situation, he was able to prefer my boyfriends of yesteryear...

- Okay... - she seemed to want to say something else, but one of the maids came in announcing dinner.

We all went to the dining room, found myself sitting next to Noah and facing the pervert, while Dad sat at the head of the table.

Dinner was served and we started eating quietly, Dad and Dixie soon started a conversation about the company and I turned to Noah, who ate with his eyes down.

I remembered Vinnis saying he was Dixie's submissive. It was very strange, he seems so normal.

He caught me looking at him and smiled briefly.

- Scarlett, your father said he'll start college soon.

- A few weeks actually.

- Have you decided which course you will take?

- I don't really know what I want to do... yet... - I said sadly, he smiled.

- That's common, when I went to college, I didn't have anything in mind either.

- And what did you choose?

- Art, but I spent a year and a half stalling before I really decided.

- Are you a painter?

- You could say yes.

- Are you good? - He smiled timidly shrugging.

- He's extraordinary. - Dixie said, suddenly, and Noah lowered his eyes giving a small smile of delight with the compliment.
