Mariana's POV
Turns out boats didn't settle well with me As I was sick the entire way back As Aila shoved home remedies down my throat to help me
I hated leaving Alfie behind But the boys needed consistency, especially since he returned "I'm sorry" Aila said sadly, rubbing my back
"What for?" I chuckled, trying to slow my breathing afterwards I felt awful "Last time I threw up so much was when I had Delilah" she chuckled
I chuckled too. Thinking "Don't worry, I'm definitely not pregnant" I said "I know. Alfie talks to me, last I heard he had only just gotten forgiveness out of you" she said
"Yeah" I said, she clearly didn't know we had started fucking again then. But I wasn't pregnant. I couldn't be We hadn't slept together that many times.
"Mar?" Aila said "Huh?" I asked "You want some more water?" She asked again "Oh, yeah... thanks" I mumbled, taking the glass
Thinking...
Alfie's POV
"Bet you can't wait to get back eh" Harvey said "Yep" I said shortly, rummaging through the papers They were so fucking unorganised "It's impressive. What you accomplished over there" he said
"Yeah well... better than staying here" I grumbled Where the fuck was it? I just wanted to get everything done so I could go home.
"Is it? Big houses, big names. Fine women" he grinned "Oh I know how you like your women" I said coldly
"She told you huh?" He chuckled "Yeah she did, so be thankful there's a desk between us or I'd rip your fucking tongue out" I said calmly He was silent for a moment
"Things seem different over there. You are more protective of things" he said "I'm protective of my family" I corrected Fuck everything and everyone else
"We are also your family" he said "Yeah don't I fucking know it" I scoffed
"Boys. Been looking everywhere" Charles said cheerily "We're not boys" Harvey grumbled "As I fund your clothes, your coke and your whores... yeah... you're still a boy to me" Charles said
Harvey straightened up Ever the fucking suck up Aching for his dad's approval
"Got a job for you boys" he said "Oh yeah?" I asked, getting frustrated now They'd made a mess of these account A fucking mess of everything
"You're going to dinner, tonight. Frank would like to speak with us. I'm assuming it has something to do with Mariana's charming introduction?" He said Yeah... she didn't exactly set us up for any kind of common ground
