When The Laughter Stops

Ch 5

Next Day

We go to pick up the red head Stark at the bus station. Bruno steps out helping her with her suitcases while Jonny is in the drivers seat and I stay in my seat. Bruno then opens the door for her to get in.

"What did you tell them?" I ask not looking at her as she takes her seat next to me.

"That you were stressing me out so I needed a long vacation." She says simply buckling her seatbelt.

"I also told them it's better off to stay out of your way since you're a lunatic." She adds and my jaw clenches but I brush it off with an airy chuckle.

"Smart girl. I won't hesitate to hurt one of your buddies if they mess with my business." I say securing my watch.

"Where are we going?" She asks as she sees we are nearing the docks.

"To my place. I don't live in the city, to much racket." I say simply as Jonny drives the SUV to my yacht.

Jonny puts the car in park and turns it off.

"You can step out." I say getting out of the car and she does the same.

"Oh Kay." She mumbles.

We finally pull up to my mansion.

I pat down my pockets and grumble to myself.

"Aye Bruno tell the captain to honk the horn I forgot my key." I say and he nods and walks away.

"Come on." I say for her to follow me.

"My stuf-

"Don't worry about your bags Bruno and Jonny will bring them up." I tell her and she hesitantly nods following me off the yacht and up to the mansion.

As we walk up a loud honking noise is heard from the yacht making the red head jump but it doesn't bother me. As we get up to the door it opens.
