A few more weeks passed, Raquel was swamped between work and school. She barely got to see her brother, Julio only coming over for dinner occasionally, but was otherwise busy. Raquel got to see Tommy, but that was only because the man went out of his way to visit her, sometimes picking Ra up from school to drive her to work.

They went on a few dates here and there, Raquel even cooked for him at his loft one time, and Tommy swore that he was in love.

There were moments though, when Tommy would get called away, or had to leave abruptly. It wasn't often, but when it happened, Ra took notice. She knew that he wasn't being completely truthful, Raquel wasn't fucking stupid. But, she didn't say anything. If things continued the way that they were, then Ra would say something. For now, it wasn't her business.

The business calmed down somewhat, Ghost so invested in the goddamn club, and Tommy was so fucking over it. He wish he never agreed to opening one in the first place. The redhead that worked there though, Holly, she kept an eye out for Tommy whenever he showed up. She liked him, that much was obvious, but for once Tommy wasn't interested.

He already had his girl.

Tommy currently sat outside of the club, smoking a cigarette against his car, and he looked up as James approached. "Where the fuck you been?" He called out, and Ghost just shook his head, leaning against the car on his other side with a sigh.

"Wild night, man."

"Well, we got business to discuss. Real business." Tommy stated seriously, inhaling his cigarette, before turning to look at Ghost. "Retail sides been locked up tight since we sent those body parts around town. But we're getting a big distro shipped, day after next."

"How's the corners?"

"Pretty fucking quiet. Everyone knows a re-ups coming." Tommy stated bluntly, smoking his cigarette as Ghost looked at him. "They'll be watching us."

"It's time. Tell Julio." Ghost breathed, and Tommy straightened as he put out his cigarette. "Let's take a ride. Tell him yourself." He responded, and Ghost shook his head, standing up to give Tommy a pound.

"Nah, gotta get home. Tasha's expecting me."

"Speaking of Tasha, I want you two to meet my girl. Raquel." Tommy spoke up before he could walk away, and James turned to him in surprise, a smirk tugging at his lips. "For real?" He questioned, and Tommy rolled his eyes. "Ha ha, motherfucker. But, I'm serious. Things are going good, and we've been getting to know each other."

"Have you fucked?"

At Tommy's glare, Ghost burst out laughing, and the other man grilled him. "Fuck you." He snapped, and Ghost coughed as he tried to disguise his laughter. "You really like this girl." He observed, and Tommy nodded. "I do. That's something else I want to talk to you about, I don't like lying to her." James straightened at that, giving Tommy a serious look as he stepped closer.
