Heartbreak Hotel

A Mind Made Up

Kate
Dad thinks I should make Jose Jr decide on me or Mia. I tell him that we are just friends and used to be roommates. Mia and he are the couple not me and him. I tell him that I am not ready for marriage and children and may never be. He grimaces at me and goes back into his office grumbling that my mother wants grandchildren from both me and Ethan and I need to find a sperm donor if I don't want to get married because mom will be annoying and nag him until I give her what she wants. I go back to my puny office on the second floor. I guess dad and mom seeing Jose jr and I dancing at the wedding thought we were more than friends but we aren't. I am more interested in Shawn,
Ariana's security guy.

Eamon
Well I gave it a shot, Enid can't say I didn't try. Now it's her turn to nag Kate. Good luck on that. I have invited young men over to meet Kate and she has no interest in them at all.

Mia
Dad asked me what the deal is with Jose Jr and I explain we are just very good friends and he was the one who encouraged me to start my business and stand on my own two feet. I know Jose jr has a business but unsure exactly what it is, but he can do it anywhere he is at. He actually made a deal in the bathroom on the toilet according to him. He came out a couple of hundred grand richer from that deal. I laughed but he showed me the profit and offered to set me up in my own building and be a silent but loud partner. He had dad come up with a contract that benefitted us both. So we are now great friends and business partners. It's great and he has been very helpful with everything. Jose Sr is very proud of his son and really happy he is in business with me now. Jose Sr and Ray come to eat at the restaurant part of my business and it is picking up. I am still doing the events, catering and wedding cakes. The restaurant part is a secondary thing that is growing by leaps and bounds.

Jose Jr
I finally tell dad that Mia and Kate are just good friends like Anastasia is as well. My heart belongs to someone who loves money and not me. Stella burnt her bridges and showed her true colors to me. I decided that she is not worthy enough for me to talk to again after trying to hurt Anastasia. Dad told me Stella was a gold digger and it was good she had no idea how much money we had so she would leave us alone. He was right about that. I know Ethan and Christian have no idea what kind of money their wives have. I know because our fathers are great friends since our births.

Ray
I ran a background check on Stella Lincoln and boy did Jose Jr miss a bullet when she didn't go after him. She has a horrible reputation and she befriends people only to use them to get what she wants and after she gets it she moves on. Jose sr agrees without even seeing the background checks on her.

Stella
I can't get Mia to meet me for lunch, she is always busy now. I finally show up at her new restaurant and she is runn8ng around all over the place trying to get things done, so she is too busy after all.

Warren
Aubrey and I decided to get married and we had a civil ceremony and no one knew about it until we had to change addresses because we moved into our own home. We had to advise Ray though and he was glad and gave us a wedding present and time off for a honeymoon.

Aubrey
Warren and I got two weeks paid vacation time including the four weeks we get off each year and a wedding gift from Ray and the twins. Our new house was set up in no time and we had two weeks left so we stayed home with each other and it was great, so great in fact we are expecting our first baby in nearly nine months. Can't be a body guard, but can run background checks on people. So Ray put me to work doing that and hired someone to take my place so the baby stays safe. My salary stays the same plus a bump for the bump. Ray raised both our wages. He raised the other security staffs as well to be fair.

Jose Jr
I was at the restaurant when Stella arrived trying to talk to Mia, Mia was extremely busy and doesn't have time to deal with her. So Stella corners me and I just tell her that I am too busy to talk to her as well. I finally see that she needs a hobby or a job so she can be too busy as well.

Christian
I walk in to Mia's restaurant with Anastasia on my arm and Jose Jr sees us and warns us that Stella is in the restaurant and bugging him and waiting for Mia to get free so they can talk. I have no patience for Stella, but I am hungry and Mia's expecting us to eat here with her today. I am starting to think she has someone telling her where we are going to be, but I hope not. It must be a coincidence of some kind.

Anastasia
Good lord that person doesn't get the hint. We don't want her around. Jose jr has told her they are too busy to talk to her and they are and she still doesn't stop. Mia finally sits down with us and you guessed it Stella comes and sits by Christian and moves her chair closer to him. I trade him seats and Mia Sits on his other side so she can't put her hands on my husband.
