I join Zuri at the table and sit directly beside her. There's scattered conversation going on so I turn to Zuri "hey you ok" she looks at me blankly and nods turning away from me "don't be like that" I grab her chin making her look at me. She blush's trying not to smile.
She grabs me hand and leans in I lean into her and she stops just before my lips and whispers "don't touch me" she grabs my hand moving it and turning around I roll my eyes and turn to my mom "when are we starting mama" she sighs "whenever everything is ready" the maid finally brings out the last dish and everyone goes quiet "bow your heads and lock hands" my mom tells everyone.
My mom grabs my hand and I look over to Zuri and she looks at me and grabs my hand and bows her head "dear Heavenly Father we come to you today to thank you for gathering us all together, please bless the hands that prepared this food and let it bring nutrients to our body, lastly please watch over everyone and bless them with safe travels and mercy amen" everyone let's go and starts grabbing the food.
I see Zuri look around at the food then back at me "you don't know what you want do you" I ask her and she nods smiling "I'll fix your plate" I grab the plate from in front of her and put a little Alfredo, bruschetta and arancini. I put the plate back at her "Alfredo, bruschetta and arancini I'll put different stuff on my plate so you can try a little bit of everything" I go and fix my plate and set it back in front of me.
"How'd the talk go cousin" Roman speaks and I roll my eyes "what the hell are you talking about" I say dismissively "you know telling her you're the heir so you're doomed" he try's to joke but nobody laughs instead they all go quiet "watch it Roman" I try to warn him "no mr boss man tell her" he stands up "I don't have to tell her shit until I'm ready so sit the fuck down and eat" I stand up and he laughs "see that's your problem, your just like your dad" I go quiet and feel rage "I'm nothing like him, but you know what I bet you knew how your father acted" I spit and he scoffs "your dad throws up this fake Mr.nice guy act and nobody's buying it" he spits I go to say something else but someone cuts me off "that is enough" Zuri slams her hands on the table.
She grabs my hand leading me out of the dining room and into the living room "what the hell was that" she spits at me "he was getting smart he had to be put in his place" I say nonchalantly with a shrug "oh don't you dare shrug at me Mr.heir whatever that means" she points at me "it means what it sounds like" I stare her in her eyes "the heir of what" she whispers holding eye contact "Bianchi does it not sound familiar" I squint stepping closer to her, she shakes her head "the corporations, the firms, the deals, the trades come on Zuri you're smart" I step closer but she backs away "bianchi now that I say it, it does sound familiar" she gulps and I chuckle "how" I tilt my head walking closer .
"I'm pretty sure it's a restaurant" she chuckles backing up "something like that but I'm being serious" I nod "tell me I don't know" she sits on the couch "bianchi that's all I'm saying" I lean on the wall "I've heard of one bianchi but that can't possibly be you" she shakes her head and I chuckle lowly "I am" I nod once "you're not the heir no fucking way, my dad said that your family owns half the city and I would have known that you're that type of Bianchi" she rambles "you know this doesn't change anything I'm still me and we're still us" I point between me and her she nods "ok I'll think on it um can we go eat" I nod and follow her out the door.
