Loving A Rivers (Third book in Rivers series)

Chapter 44

Chapter 44

Ethan's POV:

"God out of all my siblings I'm the single freak." I sighed. I sat in the back in between Chase and Eric so that they don't touch each other or anything.

"That's because you only want flings." Chase pointed out.

"Chase...did I ask you?" I asked and he chuckled.

"No but I figure I'd help you out, buddy." He said putting his arm around me. I looked to Eric and he shrugged smiling.

"I loathe your boyfriend." I said to him and he just smiled at me.

"You're my brother and my twin you have to like him." He said and I shook my head.

"No I don't. He's a sarcastic freak." I said folding my arms and Chase laughed patting my shoulder.

"Then we are both freaks, E." He said.

"Let us see how this evening will play out, hmm?" I said looking at my mom and dad who laughed at us.

---------

"Alright let's do this." I muttered downing my drink. All the Mafia men were here with their families. Briana was with Trent, Logan had his purple and blue headed girlfriend- Paige, Eric had Chase, Luke had Violet, Sophia had Sam and everyone else had dates...except me.

"Violet looks fucking amazing." I said to Luke as he came over.

"You shouldn't be drinking." He said raising an eyebrow.

"You shouldn't either. You are only twenty. We are legal in Canada and other places so we are cool." I said.

"Alright, I guess we are both fine. Also, be careful just because you are my brother doesn't mean I won't fight you." He laughed.

"So what we can have another incident like Brandon last year?" I chuckled and he pushed my shoulder.

"You will find a girl one day, maybe look for a girl that is not glued to a sorority?" He suggested.

"But then they aren't interesting." I groaned.

"See now you are just being shallow. Open up your horizons, E. Stop looking for a blond, big tits and ass, slut." He said and I laughed.

"So what? You saying I should go to the library and find myself a good girl?" I asked.

"Just remember E, the good girls are always the freaky ones." He winked walking to Violet who waved him over.

I scanned the large room and sighed heavily. My parents were talking with aunt Sylvie, uncle Blake, uncle Brandon, aunt Anastasia, uncle Keith, aunt Crystal along with my grandparents on both sides. They stood laughing with drinks in their hands while other Mafia members filtered throughout the room.

Eric and Chase stood near the back with light drinks in their hands as they scanned the room. Sam and Sophia were with some of our cousins and Luke and Violet were dancing together and singing along to cheesy songs.

I walked towards the bar my grandma had and grabbed a bottle of rum pouring the contents into a glass.

"If your mother sees you drinking a lot she will have my ass, E." My dad said refilling his scotch glass.

"She doesn't have to know, besides I told Luke- I'm legal somewhere in the world." I shrugged.

"Your mom has eyes on the back of her head. She knows everything." He said.

"Try to enjoy yourself without getting hammered, E." He called as he walked back to his little group.

Eric's POV:

"I thought your dad said one of his best men was gay?" Chase asked and I nodded pointing to Davey.

"That's Davey, and that's his husband." I said pointing to the two men who chatted aimlessly amongst other Mafia men.

"That's him? He has a daughter doesn't he?" He asked.

"Yea.." I answered.

"See? There are so many opportunities for a family." He assured and I raised an eyebrow at him curiously.

"You think I'm doubting the opportunities we would have as a family?" I asked.

"I didn't say that, I just want to make sure." He said nervously.

"Chase we are only nineteen- well I am anyways. We have a lot of time." I said.

"I just get nervous sometimes. I love you and I would hate to lose you." He said not meeting my gaze.

"Why would I leave you?" I asked bluntly and he shrugged.

"For something better?" He suggested.

"Better my ass. You're the best Maverick. I love you too, hot stuff." I assured and he laughed.

"Hot stuff? I'm a trophy to you, aren't I?" He chuckled.

"Exactly." I assured.
