We walked back downstairs to see Harry with the guys looking as pissed as ever when he saw Josh holding my hand and leading me to the table again. I sat next to him and saw my brothers playing speed for money. Danny was playing Derek for 10 grand
"I call next." I said drinking some of the liquor Josh had poured me. "You'll have to be a little quicker than that little sister. I'm next." Alex whispered and I groaned and stood up.
"Where you going?" Alex asked holding onto my hand. "I need to go get cash!" I said and he narrowed his eyes. "I'll pay for your first game." "I don't need your money Alexander." "Take it." "No." I mouthed and giggled as I walked to the bank teller. I pulled out my card from my phone wallet and grabbed the money I needed by transferring the amount I wanted to take out to Jimenez account who would then give it to me cash.
"How much did you take out?" Danny asked as I held a duffel bag of cash as I walked back. "120 grand why? How much did you?" "200, you can always go back when I beat your ass!" He said and I laughed and rolled my eyes.
"In your dreams Daniel." I sat next to Josh and could feel Harry staring at us from across the aisle. "You're going against me!" Alex said and I smirked. "Well that's easy." I smiled placing my bet for 10 grand on the table. "Ready?" Alex asked placing his hand on the card to his right in the center.
"No asshole! Quit cheating I haven't even looked at my 5 yet." I said flipping my 5 cards into my hand and organizing them. "Ready?!" He asked again, whining a little. "Ready." I flipped the card to see it was a Jack and an Ace so I set my 10, 9 and 8 over the Jack and placed my king over the Ace. I grabbed five more cards and continued the game.
"Speed!" I said proudly as I set my last card down. "No fucking fair! What the fuck?! Nick, you're up." Alex said and flipped me off as Nick sat infront of me.
"Don't expect me to take it easy on you." "I don't." "Why do you have such an attitude with me?" He growled and I rolled my eyes.
"Because you're an aggressive person for no fucking reason. You tear down my spirit everytime I talk to you that drinking is the only way I'm able to actually look you in the eye and have a decent time." He was steaming in anger as he picked up his five and placed his bet. I did the same and we began playing. I won, of course and Nick was seething in anger.
"You're a fucking cheater!" "How did I cheat? It's fucking speed Nicholas. Get a fucking grip." I said putting the money in my bag as he stood up. "You're an asshole." He mumbled and walked off to the bar.
"Don't mind him." Danny said and I rolled my eyes. "I never do. God that man just angers me on a different level. If I could I would beat the shit out of him." "You can." "No. I respect him to much as person to do that to him. Harry would you like to play with us? Or you just going to stare at me the entire night?" I asked looking at Harry who smirked. "I don't know how to play." "I'll teach you. Come." I said pointing to the seats next to me.
"Grace I don't think that's a good idea with Nick." Josh said and I rolled my eyes, standing up and let Harry sit before I sat on his lap. "I don't give two shits about that man right now. I'll shut him up if he gets out of line." "Do you think that's a good idea?" Danny said nervously. "Perfectly." I said explaining the game to Harry.
"Want to play a practice round? I'll give you an easy opponent. Alexander." I said and Alex flipped me off but sat infront of me. Harry was winning thanks to my help and Alex rolled his eyes.
"You're a cheater!" "How?" "I don't know but I know you are Leslie Grace Ibarra." He grinned at me and I laughed.
"What the fuck are they doing here?" Nick asked sitting in Alex's place. "Playing. If you have an issue with that you're more than welcome to leave." "Why do I have to leave?" Nick asked through gritted teeth.
"Because you're the one who is making a big deal out of it and pissing me off." "What the fuck are you sitting on his lap for?" "Because he gives good dick." I mumbled shuffling my cards and Nick lost it about to swing at me but Josh grabbed him by the neck and pinned him to the seat.
"Were you seriously going to hit her!? That's our little fucking sister! How fucking dare you try to hurt our little fucking sister Nicholas! That's Gracie!" Josh growled as he choked Nick who was still seething in anger trying t fight him.
"That's our little sister. Show some fucking respect because she has no problem putting you in your place. Play the game or I'll fucking take you home myself." Josh growled and I could feel Harry's body tense.
Josh let go of Nick who was still glaring at me. "You're the biggest whore I know." "Show some fucking respect mate!" Harry growled and I held his hand that was rested on the table. "I appreciate you Harry but this is a family matter. I'll handle this." I pressed a kiss to it and he was just as angry as Nick.
"He needs to show you a little respect." Harry warned and I rolled my eyes. "He never does." "Bullshit." "Nicholas. That's our baby sister you're talking about. One of these days you're going to say some shit to truly piss her off and she'll be out of our lives forever." Danny said sadly and Derek nodded.
"Do you want to loose her?" "It wouldn't be the first thing she lost." Nick laughed and my heart sunk. "Nick." My brothers warned. "Remember when she lost her baby? That was great. The one thing a woman was supposed to be good at and she wasn't good at it." He laughed and I stood up.
"Congratulations Nick. I hope you're truly happy with yourself because you're the only person I know who continues to break my heart everyday since I was 5. I hope you're happy being the only person on the planet to ever make me cry. Then again it was never any surprise you never liked to see me happy." I let a few tears slip out as I stood up and began walking out the house hearing footsteps behind me as I did so.
I was an utter mess as I went over to Manuel. "Can I borrow your car please. I need to get home and I can't be here." "Wait what happened? What happened baby?" Manuel cooed and I shook my head as he hugged me. "Nothing. I'll take her home." I heard Nick say and I turned to see Harry and Nick standing behind me.
"I'm going nowhere with you." I said and he rolled his eyes. "Get into my fucking car or so help me god." "No. Harry take me home please." I begged and Harry glared at Nick as he passed by him and lead me to his black Surburban.
"Grace." I heard Nick yell and I ignored him, seeing Manuel and his men holding him back. "I'm sorry about him. It won't happen again." I sniffled as I put my seatbelt on.
"You didn't tell me you were related." "I didn't know how you would react. I don't want to talk about it. I want to go home and go to sleep." Harry sighed and waited for the 4 other men to come into the car.
"Are you okay love?" Zayn asked and I chuckled looking out the window. "I'm fine." "No. You're not." Harry said as he drove. "Harry. Please just drop it." I said toying with my duffel bag. "You really fucking thought I was going to sit there and be quiet as he disrespected you?!" Harry yelled and I rolled my eyes.
"Harry. He's my brother. You know how important family is to me." "Baby! That doesn't excuse the way he talked to you and made you brought something that personal out infront of hundreds of people!"
"Harry! I know that. Trust me I do. I don't want to talk to him but I live by family as a code. He's my brother and I will continue to support and love him unless he tries to hurt you or anybody in this fucking car. You're safety is a priority to me!" "You're safety and respect is one of mine! And it makes me so angry how you can just sit there and take that! You're so fucking lenient when it comes to that!"
"Harry don't get it fucking twisted. I will fuck up anybody who fucks with me except for Nick and my family. They could honestly shoot me in the heart and I still would not raise a hand to them. Fucking with you is a different story. If they fuck with you I will fight along side you." I said and he was gripping the steering wheel so hard it was turning white.
"That's not a choice for you to make. I would never make you choose between them." "I didn't ask you. Nick's going to make that choice regardless." I bit my lip and the car was silent and Harry's grip on my thigh tightened every so often as he got lost in deep thought.
