Mayas POV

The four of us are seated at the same table Carina and I sat at the first time we had dinner together. Carina sits next to me leaving Andy to sit with Ryan. I'm glad she invited Ryan to join us. I always feel bad knowing we're eating while they are standing watch. Andy begins grilling Carina about our relationship. There's not much info to give since we've literally only been married just over a week.

Andy squints her eyes and asks "Have you met Old Man Lane yet?"

I roll my eyes. "That's what she calls my dad." I say filling Carina in.

She nods "Yes actually, he was at your graduation. We plan to have him over for dinner when he us well enough perhaps you should join us as well."

Andy looks at me the replies. "Do you have a pool? Oh or maybe we could do a barbecue?"

Carina smiles. "I do have a pool. You are welcome anytime."

Andy smirks " How about tomorrow?"

I pull out my phone. "I'll call dad." My dad agrees and we solidify our plans.

Carina leans in and whispers to me. "Do you happen to know how to grill?"

I kiss her cheek. "Of course. You know, we should make a party out of it. Why don't we invite all of your guards so I can get to know them better? They can bring their girlfriends too. The two that have them anyway."

Carina is getting more and more stiff beside me. "Don't get carried away. They are my employees. Also I don't think your papa does well with crowds."

I deflate a little but she is right about my dad. "Well how about just Ryan then? I'm sure Andy doesn't want to be a third wheel. At least that way she'll have someone to talk to." Carina reluctantly agrees.

The plans are made and we enjoy our evening together. Andy and Ryan seem to get along pretty well. I ask Ryan to drive Andy home, so she doesn't have to get a cab. Carina opens my car door for me like the gentle woman she is. I am excited about tomorrow, I get to see my dad outside of the facility. It's the first time in a really long time. Seeing him earlier was great but we didn't have much time together. Then I think of Carinas dad. I wonder what he is like. "Carina, when will I meet your dad?"

Carina takes my hand. "You want to meet my papa?"

I lean into her arm. "Of course, I do. Though I don't know anything about him. Do you have a good relationship with him?"

Carina thinks about how it before going to answer. "Our relationship is complicated. He was an excellent business man but he is also a playboy. he goes through women constantly. He doesn't respect them at all. I learned  a lot about the business world from him but we were never really affectionate. If you want to meet him, I'll take you now."

I nod "Yes please."

Carina calls her dad and finds out where he is. She makes a few turns and stops in front of a lavish tavern. There are women in very scandalous clothing serving cocktails in the dimly lit room. Carina leads the way as if she knows exactly where to go. We reach a secluded area that is roped off. The guards move the rope without questioning us. We head up the stairs until we reach a room full of chatter. There are several older men smoking cigars and playing poker. Some of the men have young girls in their laps.

A gray haired man with tanned skin stands as we enter. "There she is! Everyone look my daughter brought her newly acquired wife." The men go nuts with cheers and congratulations. Glasses clink together and more drinks are poured. It appears like a cheerful scene, though I feel like it's all ridicule.
