One Hell of A Deal Book 1

The Tour

Vox found Alastor watching the other guests at the hotel. Alastor was standing above them leaning against the rail.
"I thought you would have left," Alastor said not looking up at Vox.
"You wanted to show me around," Vox added.
"If I remember correctly, I said nevermind," Alastor pointed out.
"Which means," Vox said as he was about to explain. "That you wanted me to see the hotel. You are proud of it and I want to see your accomplishments. I know you better than you know yourself."
Alastor sighed. Unfortunately, Vox was right. He did want to show him around. Alastor wanted their arms looped as he lead him around telling him about all the things he has changed. But at the same time Alastor did not want to build a deeper relationship with Vox. It would be harder to lose him.
"Don't you have work of your own?" Alastor said sounding rather cold.
Vox just waited. Vox knew how he could play Alastor.
"Fine," Vox said as he started to head down the stairs.
"What are you doing?!" Alastor whispered loudly in a panic tone. He didn't want anyone to see Vox especially since they all saw that stupid photo.
"Going to see Charlie," Vox said as he continued down the stairs slowly. "She would be more than happy to show me around. Especially to get a sponsorship."
"Vox get your ass back here," Alastor ordered trying not to freak out as Vox got further down the stairs.
"Nope, I own you remember," Vox said while laughing.
Alastor was panicking. Vox was already half way down the stairs. Alastor followed after him.
"Vox," Alastor called.
Vox ignored and started to walk fast down the stairs knowing Alastor was right behind him. Alastor went to reach for Vox but he ended up just pushing him down the stairs. Vox fell all the way to the bottom with a loud thud. Alastor watched as the others stared at them.
"He killed him," Angel said.
"I'm not dead," Vox said as he picked himself up and turned to glare at Alastor.
Everyone was confused. Alastor had no idea what to do. Alastor rushed down the stairs.
"Great you win," Alastor said in a hushed tone. "Now let's go."
Alastor pulled on Vox's arm but Charlie walked over.
"Not now Charlie dear," Alastor said as he tried to pull Vox up the stairs.
Vox was loving how flustered Alastor was. Vox had planted his feet into the ground.
"Uh Al," Charlie said as she tried to figure out the situation. "What's going on?"
"Nothing," Alastor remarked now trying to use to hands to pull at Vox. "He was just leaving."
"You said you were going to show me around," Vox said loudly. "Not push me down the stairs."
"Will you keep your mouth shut," Alastor said managing to pull Vox up onto one stair.
"Why do you want to see the hotel?" Charlie asked. "I thought you wanted to destroy it."
"I want to sponsor it for my boyfriend," Vox said loudly.
That made Alastor blush and let go of Vox.
"Val?" Angel asked.
"The other one," Vox corrected.
Charlie started to jump up and down excitedly.
" I didn't know you two started to," Charlie started.
"He's lying. We haven't," Alastor said with radio dials in his eyes.
Whoops too far Vox thought.
"Well, if he won't I will," Charlie said excitedly as she dragged Vox around the entrance to show him around.
Alastor was mortified. He just continued walking up the stairs and left Vox alone with the rest. Vox looked back to see Alastor leaving and that's when he knew he fucked up again.

Alastor was in his room. It was an hour later. He was angry at Vox. That's when a knock at his door. Alastor threw it open.
"You have some nerve," Alastor started to yell before he saw Charlie.
"I'm sorry," Alastor started to correct his temper. " I thought you were someone else."
"Al, is everything ok?" Charlie asked.
"I'm fine," Alastor said as he just wanted her to leave. Now he was more mad at Vox. "Where did he go?"
Alastor looked up and down the hall but he was no where to be seen.
"He left," Charlie said.
Alastor felt a tinge of sadness.
"He's gone?" Alastor asked.
Charlie noticed the change of Alastor's tone.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Charlie asked.
"Where did he go?" asked Alastor.
"Back to the tower he said," Charlie looking to see any other emotions of Alastor but all she saw was the same smiling face. "I tried to make him come see you but he said he could tell you needed space but I don't know how could tell that."
Alastor listened to Charlie ramble. Alastor wanted to go to the camera and yelled at him to teleport him to his penthouse but all he could do was listen to Charlie.
"And on top of that he offered to advertise for us as long as you go over there to check his work," Charlie said as Alastor started to listen.
"Wait, what?" Alastor said.
"I told him I don't know what's going on between the both of you but I would love some help, if it's actually good," Charlie said not even paying attention to Alastor.
Alastor smiled at the idea of him and Vox working together.
"Sounds like a great deal." Alastor said. " I will swing by there in the morning."
Alastor closed the door on Charlie.
