"Missed me?"
"Wrong brother," Hunter mutters as his gaze meets mine. "That's a shame," I hum as I say the words, "you should know Kais coming to meet us," Hunter comments as he leans back in his chair. I notice how there's a free seat next to him, I watch how Patriarca is currently involved with some desperate girl, and how Garcia remains silent. "I just want a chat," I reply with a shrug as I take a seat opposite them.
I know Kai warned me to stay away, if there was a war brewing, he'd know about it. Yet, similar to the past five months, I couldn't sleep. I understand if an attack were to take place it wouldn't be any time soon, but as Capo, I need to know in advance. I just hope Kai shows up while I'm here so he can see I take my threats seriously.
"Nothing is that easy with you, Bliss," Garcia responds with a shrug as my eyes travel to his. Some would argue that he and Capello look-alike, personally, I only believe that's because of the blonde hair. "Come on," I bait with a smirk, "I get I'm not my brother, but you have to admit, you've missed me," I taunt as I watch the two of them begin to get bored. If Patriarca cares, he doesn't make it obvious. "But before we get to the business," I say as I lean back in my seat, "where have you been?" I carefully ask, we all know since two years ago they only ever show up on Solstice. whether that's Summer Solstice, or their favorite, Winter Solstice.
"See," Capello whispers as he leans forward, one hair grilling his armrest, the other hanging below his legs. "You don't know everything," Capello states with a smile. "I don't need to know everything," I remark as I watch his smile slowly fade. "My brother must know, after all," I pause as my stare locks with Patriarca for the first time tonight, "you did leave him in New York while the three of you disappeared like the night," I comment with a careless shrug as I've just spoken the truth.
The three of them all left New York two years ago in the early hours prior to Winter Solstice, yet my brother didn't. I understand it's because he lives here, but as does the three of them. They may be from rival mafias, but they are welcome to stay in New York due to my brother's wishes. But from what I heard, they didn't return home either, and now they show up here, in New York City, just in time for Summer Solstice, why?
"That's between me and Kai," Capello responds with a smile, "he forgave me too." I hold back any snarky comments because after all, I'm not aware of their relationship, whether I'm reading too much into it, or not. "Yeah? And how'd you manage that?" I question, his eyes meet mine and I wonder if he truly has. My brother is no pushover, despite how protective he is of him. "Next time I'll invite you too," I hear Garcia scoff beside Capello as he doesn't try to hide his bashfulness. "How did you get him to forgive you?" I rephrase because whenever I piss Kai off, me and him don't talk until I apologize, and I know Kai wouldn't have accepted Hunter's apology.
If the boys left me alone for nearly two years, and within that time I only saw them four times, I'd be pissed. I understand my relationship with the boy band is entirely different from Kais and his group, but it would still hurt knowing they could have been together, while he was alone.
