Deal With the Devil: A Lloyd Hansen Story

XXXIV

"Did I fucking stutter? I said I wanted this done today! We have a shipment in on the down low and there is no way in hell that I am coming in tomorrow so you better get that money in before I shove this gun so far up your fucking-"

"Mama! Look!"

I sighed as Dominick came waddling in. I looked at my client for a second and shook my head. I picked up Dominick. He was now two, and oh god he was showing it.

I set the gun in my holster.

"I hope you can see yourself out, and get that money on my husbands desk by tonight." I said sweetly. My client walked out.

"Dada." Dominick said.

"Yeah. Kinda wondering where Dada is." I said. I walked out with my son and went to his office. Sam was sitting in it.

"How'd the meeting go?" Lloyd asked. I gave him a scowl. He nodded. "Sorry I asked."

Dom rested his head on my shoulder. He was tired.

"Can you take him for a few minutes?" I asked Lloyd.

"Why? He obviously likes you right now."

"Because I have to change my tampon asshole."

"Okay. Alright." He said. I handed Dominick over.

"Where going?" He asked, getting teary eyed. Lloyd gave me a look.

"I am going to the bathroom silly. Besides it's just dad and uncle. You're okay."

Lloyd rolled his eyes. "Kay tough guy. Go play with your toys."

Normally Dom wouldn't be at work. I hated having him in the workplace. It wasn't safe. But Sonya was sick, so I gave her a few days to rest up.

I went to the bathroom to change my tampon before coming back. Lloyd gave me a stare. I smiled sarcastically. Sam was gone.

"Sit down."

"I actually have work to do so..."

"Sit down Vanessa." He said sternly. I sat in the chair in front of his desk, crossing one leg over the other. Dominick came over. I pulled him up into my lap.

"What's wrong?" He asked. Dom played with the ring on my finger.

"I'm just hungry."

"Order some food then. You want my card or something?"

"No I make my own money."

"We have a joined account sweetheart." He said as he took out his card and handed it to me. I gave him a look. He waved it at me.

"Make yourself less...agitated."

"Fuck you."

"See it's things like that. Quit your whining." He said.

"I'm gonna max out this card."

"Go for it." He said.

"You're supposed to say no and take it back."

"You trying to role play with me or something Nessa?"

"No."

He smirked. I hated that smirk.

"Okay. Get up." He said.

"No."

He stood up and came over to me, helping me up. I moved Dominick to my hip. He pulled dom and I into a hug. I sighed and rested my head on his chest.

"You want a drink?" Lloyd asked. I nodded.

"Bubbas?" Dom asked. I smiled.

"You want one too? Yeah we will get you the one for you." Lloyd said as he rubbed under his sons chin. He giggled.
