The Ride

CHAPTER 36: This Will be Fun.....

CYRAN

This was all bullshit! The universe hates me or something! Between hearing about what happened to my cousin in jail a few days ago and everything else that seems to be going on at the same damn time, I feel like I have been hit by a huge avalanche.

With that said however, I don't easily go down or give up. And once I find out who has been behind all this bullshit, I swear there will be hell to pay. They will have met something worse than Satan.

Meanwhile, business has to continue despite personal issues. Recently there have been a few more guys I have had agree to a deal in doing business with in the near future and were going to be flying into town the week after next and in the meantime, I was going to meet up with Scott.

Before I was able to head out the door to meet up with Scott, my phone went off and I noticed before answering that it was him.

"Yeah, I was just heading out...." I started to tell him until he stopped me.

"I'm glad I caught you before you left. I'm afraid I must cancel our meeting today due to another engagement I had completely forgotten about." He states.

"Sure. That's fine." I replied.

I felt good because this way it would be one less thing I had to think about really.

"Good. Now that that's out of the way, why don't you and whomever else you wanted to bring along, would like to join me at my home in Rome?" He offers.

"Excuse me?" I asked unsure if I heard him correctly.

"Yes. I had to take a last minute flight last night and had thought about the things we had planned to discuss in our meeting together and decided to invite you and anyone else wanting to come along as well." He says.

I was shocked. I have never really travelled anywhere outside of the country really and not that we couldn't use a getaway or take a break of some kind, there was a part of me that still felt as though we should be staying put.

"I appreciate the offer but unfortunately, there's a lot going on right now that I need to take care of." I try and vaguely explain.

"Well even better. I'm sure you can get away for some fun. You are after all the one calling the shots for these business inquiries, aren't you? Or do you really let Wilder call the shots?!" He remarks.

This really couldn't have come at the worst timing to be honest. Except as I turn to look at Trix and my sister along with Lyna laughing, I start thinking that maybe we should get away.

Besides, the last thing I need is for rumors to start spreading believing I take orders from Wilder when in all actuality, it is him who takes the orders from me.

"You know what? Yeah. We'll come out there. There will be around ten people coming." I agreed.

"Great! I will let the airport know that in a couple of days, you and your guests will be there. I will have a private plane waiting for you all and there will also be somebody waiting for you after you land that will take you to my home. I'll meet you all there." He says.

"Alright. See you then. Thanks." I tell him before we hang up.

I can't believe I had just done that and agreed to do it but, especially with it being free transportation and a chance to get away for a little bit, I couldn't necessarily turn that down.

So as I walked into where the girls were hanging out at, I sat down beside Trix and placed my arm over her shoulders.

"Who was that?" Angelyne asked.

"It was Scott. He cancelled the meeting today." I tell her.

"Huh. Is that a good thing?" She asks.

"Yeah. I mean, he wants to still have the meeting but he invited me and nine others to stay with him in Rome for a few days I guess and he has a private plane that will be waiting for us in a couple of days to take us there." I finished.

They all were looking at me as if I had suddenly grown multiple heads.

"Are you serious right now?!" Trix asks.

"Yep!" I replied while smiling at her.

"But what about everything that is going on now? Don't you have other things you need to be here to do?" Trix points out.

"Well, yeah but, I'm gonna have some of the guys stay behind to handle several of the stuff but otherwise, I can leave and handle the rest through phone." I explain.

"What about Wilder?" Lyna points out.

"He doesn't make the rules. He isn't invited." I tell her.

We all sat there for a few more moments and I saw they were all deciding if they wanted to go or not, despite the fact I know deep down they want to and feel they are just trying to be dramatic.

"I say let's do it." Trix says.

I lean in and give her a kiss.

Then Angelyne and Lyna both agree as does Atlas, Gary and four others I asked had agreed also.

This was going to actually happen I guess. We are going to leave town and my guys staying behind will of course keep me updated on anything going on and things will be good. This will be fun.

Not to mention a really nice way to cross this place off of Trix's bucket list. I'm excited that I'll get a chance to see the Colosseum.

Next chapter will be posted soon! :)
