Yuri's Pov
I went back inside to find Dom still awake, waiting for me. He asked, "So, who was that?"
"She's my mother's friend," I began. "That's all?" he probed further.
"And she's also my godmother," I confessed, hoping to keep things simple. He gave me a searching look.
"Dom, please, can we skip this topic for now? I promise to tell you about it one day, but not today," I requested, and he nods understandingly.
"Thank you for understanding," I said, leaning in and kiss his cheek.
Later that night, I returned to my room to find Tej and Rome had completely taken over my bed. I sighed, made some space, and squeezed in between them.
The next day, Han, Santos, and Leo brought a large box, about 7 to 8 feet tall. "That's the piggy bank you ordered," Santos said.
I was taken aback. "You're kidding me?" Tej exclaimed. "Nope," Han replied with a grin. How did you acquire it."
"Well, we had a life before you met us," Han explained.
"All right, I'll get to work on the electronic tumbler, but there's still another problem: the palm scanner. Without Reyes' handprint, Houdini himself couldn't open this bitch," He remarked.
"How do you know it's Reyes' handprint?" Leo inquired. "You've got $100 million in a safe. Are you going to put somebody else's handprint on it?" I scoffed.
"How are we supposed to get Reyes' handprint?" Brian asked.
"Han, you're up." Dom responded. Han accepted the task with a nonchalant attitude, saying, "Sure. Nothing like the easy stuff."
"I'll drive." Gisele volunteered to drive them, and they headed to the beach where Reyes was located.
Meanwhile, I was assisting Tej with the vault, until..... "Yuri, here." Dom handed me his cellphone. I put the phone to my ear and greeted.
"Hello."
"Hey, Yuri, we need some extra hands, come help us," Han requested. "I thought I heard that it was an easy job," I replied with a hint of skepticism.
Han groaned in frustration and insisted, "Just come here and wear a bikini," then abruptly ended the call.
"But I've never worn a bikini before..." I mumbled, feeling a bit anxious. I decided to approach Brian for advice, and he showed me some pictures.
"Isn't that a bit too revealing?" I asked, uncertain.
"You should wear at least that much if you want to attract Reyes," Brian advised. Taking his suggestion to heart, I purchased a bikini similar to the one in the picture and headed to the beach.
"Yuri, Yuri here!" called Han, raising his hands in greeting as I approached. I could see that Gisele seemed grumpy. "What's wrong?"
"Gisele tried to get Reyes' fingerprint, but he refused to meet her," Han said, laughing.
"Stupid old man, who does he think he is? He should be lucky to even touch me," Gisele grumbled and I was still puzzled "So, what am I doing here?"
"Go get Reyes' fingerprints," Han instructed.
"What?! How?" I asked in disbelief.
"Just go to him, say that you want his number, sit next to him, and he'll touch you, and we'll get our prints," Han explained.
"Hell nah!" I protested loudly.
"Please..." Gisele pleaded, looking at me with puppy-dog eyes.
"Ugh," I relented, realizing that I should stop getting swayed by beautiful people.
