A few days later, we peek up at the sound of the doorbell. I run to the door and reach out to open it but Gene runs up behind me.

"I'll get it, Hun."

"Psh, why?" I cross my arms.

His eyes are pure panic, "Business stuff."

"Like?" I say suspiciously.

"Um.. can you get me some coffee babe?" He asks, changing the topic.

I sigh, "Alright, fine. But I swear if it's a girl..."

He kisses my cheek, "Rest assured."

I shrug and walk into the kitchen and start making him some coffee. I hear some voices in the living room.

"Uh, hi."

There's a grunt, "Where's Y/N?"

"At a friend's house."

I walk out into the living room, crossing my arms. "Actually I'm right here."

I stare into the faces of Gene and... Garte...?

Gene blinks, "OH UM, hi Sweetheart! I didn't realize you hadn't left for Katelyn's house!"

"I was never going to Katelyn's house, Gene." I glare at him then avert my gaze to Dad. "What's going on? Where's Melody?"

"Out in the car. Care to come see her?" He smirks.

"Su-"

"I don't think that's a good idea. I don't want my fiancee getting hurt." Gene suggests.

Garte blinks, "Fiancee?"

"Fiancee?!" My eyes widen.

"Sorry Y/N, he'd have to find out sooner or later." He lies.

"But we aren't-"

He places his hand on my forehead. "Oof, you're feeling hot, Honey. You should go lay down."

"But-"

"Don't be such a warrior honey~" He gently pushes me into the bedroom. "I'll be there in a minute!"

I cross my arms, "I won't miss you too much."

Gene's POV

"Just bring her in here and all will be well." I glare at Garte.

"Why should I?" Garte glares back.

"BECAUSE YOUR BOSS SAID SO!"

"He made the mistake of letting me quit while I still had her." He shrugs.

I glance behind Garte and see Zane, Vylad, and Garroth rushing to Garte's car. I almost open my mouth but Garroth buts a finger to his, signaling me to be quiet.

I just have to stall him. Only a little longer.

"Garte cmon. I know you're smarter than this."

He just glares at me.

I smirk, "And wittier, and well, devilishly handsome.."

I lay my hand on his shoulder. I'll probably scare him off.

Garte just stares at me.

"As much as I'd love to carry on," I smirk. "I've got a delivery."

I catch Melody as Garroth throws her to me.
