13. Bad ass twin
Safiare
I was meeting up with Natalia for drinks. Does it sound bad that I was meeting up with my future mother-in-law for drinks? We'd signed the contract earlier today and thought that a celebratory drink would be nice. I was officially the new face of Accosi International Concept. I was excited. My brother also hopped on board for the new men's line that was coming out. I still felt that I was lacking though. I've never studied fashion design, but I think maybe I should.
"You know Safiare, I think I underestimated you."
"How so?"
"Marc is still upset about that stunt you pulled the other night." I chuckled. "I can tell. He didn't look pleased at all. So when's the official get together dinner?"
"You're eager aren't you?"
"I am. I'd like to get that out of the way. I wanted to ask you something. Why isn't he working at the company?"
"Because he refused to get married so we're punishing him."
"So if he gets married he can take his position?"
"Don't even think about helping him out."
"I wasn't."
"You were. Beside's Marc offered him the secretary position and he refused."
"Don't you guys think you're being too hard on him?"
"Not in the least. He's irresponsible and we can't trust him with the company. Until he proves otherwise he'll continue to be broke."
"He's broke?"
"His accounts are frozen."
"How is he living?"
"I provide food and shelter. What more does he need?" I laughed. "So do you think you can set the official dinner for tomorrow night?"
"Of course. I'm looking forward to seeing how that will turn out." We finished our drinks and separated.

"Phoenix? Where is my hot ass brother?"
"Someone's in a good mood."
"Tomorrow is the official family meet and greet dinner at the Paxton residence. Put it in your calendar and prepare to be the tough ass brother you are."
"I intend to be."
"Good. Now let's go out."
"What's gotten into you?"
"I want to experience a night on the town. You have to be my chaperone because I plan on getting drunk."
"Taking a walk on the wild side I see."
"Yup. A new Safiare has been born."
We each went our separate ways to go get ready. We decide that we'd wear white. We had this thing where we'd try to dress similar and see if people could tell we were twins. They'd definitely know tonight. My white party dress clung to my body leaving little to the imagination. My hair was down and I had straightened the waves. I went with gold platform pumps on my feet. They matched my clutch. Phoenix had on a white button down shirt with white pants and white loafers. His hair was up in that spiked style he loved so much. His eyes stood out even more than usual. He would definitely get some pussy tonight.
"Ready?"
"Yes."
Abdul drove us to the popular club that seemed to be the spot to be and we went right in. Phoenix seemed to know the guy at the door. I didn't know how he knew him, but apparently my brother has secrets not even I knew of. I didn't want to ask either. "I'll get us a table," he said over the loud music. I nodded and headed straight for the bar. I only started drinking alcohol when I turned twenty-one, that was a few months ago, but I've never had the chance to really indulge because Abdul watched me like a hawk. But now I was taking control of my life. Tonight I would drink, dance, drink some more and get wasted.
I didn't wait for Phoenix to return, instead, I threw back a few shots then headed to the dance floor. The beat of the music washed over me and my body and I started to move. The drink I had carried with me out on the dance floor sloshed against the top of the plastic cup in my hand threatening to spill over. I took a huge gulp and continued dancing. Men came up to me and I dance with every one of them. As long as they didn't get all touchy feely with me I was okay with that. I had glimpse Phoenix disappearing with some bimbo. I guess all men were the same. My brother was no different.
