A Greek God's Treasure

Chapter 2

"Ouch!" I yelped. "You're such a baby," Hennessey was currently  waxing my eyebrows.

"This is torture by itself," I said cringing. "C'mon, it's the last one Remedy,". With one last pluck, she was finally finish and ready to start the makeup. 

"Can I ask a question ,Hennessey?" I said. " Sure, this sound like a good question though," she replied. I took a deep breath and spoke," Why is your family hosting a party for someone who has never wanted to be apart of the family?". 

She stopped doing the concealer and looked in my brown eyes," It's not that he doesn't want to be apart of the family, he just never found happiness here so my dad gave him a branch of the family business. So he built his empire and took over the family business when Daddy retire,".

 She continued the small torture called makeup,"After Alex left, I broke down a bit, started smoking, I went all goth chick,all the typical teenage bull. That is until I met you in college, I piece my life back together,Remey".

She hugged me and sniffle. She smiled and wiped a tear away."Go put on the dress. Makeup done," I hugged her back, she may act head-strong but she's an old softie.

 I walked over to my closet to get the two hundred and forty nine dollars dress.

I struggled a bit but I prevailed.

"Oh my god, you look so damn sexy and confident in that dress girl,I am jealous! I love it so much Remey" Hennessey shouted. "You overreact way too much you know," I replied. I said running my fingers over the soft silk material of the maroon dress. 

''I guess this is what prom night would have felt like,huh?" I said smiling. I felt extreme beautiful in this dress and also so confident.  I look in the mirror at my reflection, I saw a tall slender image was rapped in the bold fabric, my auburn hair sat neatly on the top of my head like a red crown decorated with a metallic headband. My muddy brown eye had an even bolder look than before, beautiful some may say.

I had to give it to Hennessey, she had the makeup thing in the bag, being an only female child for super workaholics. 

"Hey, stop admiring your ass for a sec and come help me with this zip," Hennessey said pulling me from my self-admiration.

I smiled and made my way over to the full length mirror and pulled the zipper up on the pink laced dress, it had long sleeves and an A-line along with a V-line, to sum it all up it was just beautiful.

"Thanks, let's go grabbed our purses" Hennessey said once she was satisfied with her appearances. 

The ball room was enormously filled with people dancing the night away and laughing. The glass chandelier hanged high over the freshly waxed dance floor. Hennessey pulled me over to her family, who are chatting away in a circle.

"Hennessey!!" a tiny blonde attacked Hennessey legs and rapped her hands around her legs. She smiled"Gabriel, how are you?".

"V, am sorry she got away," a short blonde in a black cocktail dress, rushed over the detached the little sucker from the Henny's legs. "Tessa, it's always a pleasure ain't it?".

Hennessey smiled as reaching her destination. 

"Mom, Dad", Hennessey said acknowledging her parents. Her mother both smiled her way and her father hugged her. I smiled at them both acknowledging my presence. Her family always had an effect on me that I hated,they made me feel small some how and unworthy of being in the Figuero circle.

"Where's-" Hennessey was cut off by a giant hands encircle her small waist. She gasped and saw that her attacker was a, was the man from the coffee shop. What he doing here?

"Alex!" Hennessey squealed and jumped the man with a bear hug and smiled. Say what now? This is the mystery brother, the douche from Sips?

"How are you cupcake?" he greeted her in a husky tone. He sported a fine tailored suit complimented with a bold red tie. He stood with such authority ,one would be intimated. His black hair was neatly combed back and he had not a shadow of a beard. He's good-looking, that's an understatement the guy's a freaking Greek God.

"Oh, you know same old same old," Hennessy smiled. I stood quietly and watched the family greeted their heart-stopping son. Did I just use heart stopping to him? HA!

The Figueros turned and looked at me. Did I say that out loud?

"This is my best friend, Remedy Smith," Hennessy gestured towards me, in hopes of saving me the embarrassment in front her family. "Remedy, this is Alexander, my brother" she smiled at me. I blush and shook his out stretched hand. His green eyes met mine brown ones, they were different from the cold and resenting one at the shop. This one was soft and gentle-like.

"Another round please good-man," I said to the bartender. I was currently one my fifth round of Margarita and I have to say it's been awesome. The bartender offered me a smile and walked off to prepare my drink. He returned shortly with my drink. I took a sip and sighed the world was starting to feel a bit buzzed. "Hey, can I get a beer, please" a man approached the bar and said. I look at him as he took a seat beside me and I realize it was Alex.

"Not so smart-ass now are we?" He smirked at me. "At least you found a different job to do huh?" I rolled my eyes. He chuckled and took a swing at his recently delivered beer. "Alex, Alexander Figeuro as my sister said and you Ms. Smith do not want to play with me,". Did he just threaten me? Naa. I smiled and replied" I think am too drunk to take that seriously,"
