Bad Intentions

The next morning after skillfully escaping the building and making it home in time to shower and load my crap into the Greene's car. Along with this skill I hadn't bumped into anyone in my house the entire time.

"I'm so glad you could join us, Peyton Elizabeth. I think I was more excited than Asher." Mrs. Greene said.

"Well, I could imagine that's a lot of excitement for one house."

"Please don't remind me." Mr. Greene groaned grabbing his forehead.

"Oh, you know you're just as excited. You already told Philip." Mrs. Greene smiled.

"I did tell Philip. But only because I won the bet. I bet Phillip twelve years ago that Asher would bring a girl to the family reunion before Aric." Mr. Greene smiled.

"When were you going to tell me I was your money pawn?" Asher asks holding back a smile.

"You get thirty percent." Mr. Greene negotiated.

"Of which I get twenty percent." I added.

"What?" Both men asked in unison.

"Well, as said girl I'm doing more work than either of you."

"This family vacation will be fun." Mrs. Greene smiled.

"Wait, so is that twenty percent of Asher's money or of the entire thing."

"I'll take twenty percent of Asher's thirty and twenty from your seventy. Asher gets ten percent, you get fifty and I get forty." I said. Mr. Greene arched an eyebrow and cleared his throat.

"Ten percent and you can pick the restaurants the entire trip." Mr. Greene negotiated. Mrs. Greene shakes her head in the rearview mirror and mouths take it all.

"Twenty-five percent."

"You went up?" Asher asks. I nodded.

"Twenty percent and my original offer on the restaurants." Mr. Greene said. My eyes flashed to Mrs. Greene and she nodded once quickly.

"Deal." I said confidently.

"Gracie, you'd think you'd want me to get the better deal in this." Mr. Greene said to his wife.

"Well Grant, girl power is important." Gracie says.

"Yeah, that's what I'll say when she takes all of our money. It wasn't a robbery. It was girl power." Mr. Greene says rolling his eyes. Asher chuckled and scrolled through apps on his phone.

"I'm actually really happy you came. These two never want to go anywhere fun. Not the beach or shopping."

"I went shopping with you earlier this week." Asher whined to Gracie.

"Because I hid your phone."

"He still went." Grant said in a monotone.

"But that's not the point."

"No, it's the principle." Grant said.

"Men make it seem like we ask you to move mountains and give us parts of the moon. It's two hours watching us change in and out of clothes."

"Preach." I muttered wrapping my arms around my knees and leaning into Asher.

"Asher, tag team buddy." Grant said obviously drowning.

"Two weeks in a cabin with them? I'm not pushing the boat anymore than you have. I'll give Peyton Elizabeth her money and go to the beach with mom." Asher says wrapping his arm around me.
